Meet Aurora’s 400-pound, pink and very friendly former outlaw: Fred the pig.Fred was first spotted in Aurora tearing up landscaping on Sept. 24, according to Aurora Animal Services Field Supervisor Augusta Allen.People continued to call in about Fred as he made his way across the city, Allen said. At about 5 a.m. on Sept. 27, Fred was finally spotted in a place where Animal Services staff could fit a trailer — on a roundabout southeast of East Alameda Parkway and South Chambers Road.An officer kept an eye on Fred for a few hours until a team was available to corral, push and pull Fred onto a trailer and relocate him to the Aurora Animal Shelter.“He definitely didn’t want to end his walk,” Allen said, laughing. “He wasn’t mean about it, just a little obstinate. He didn’t want to end his holiday.”Fred was named by Animal Services staff because of a call that came in the day he was captured about someone losing a pet pig named Fred, Allen said. The call turned out to be a prank, ...

Broncos trading OLB Randy Gregory to 49ers in late-round pick swap rather than releasing him, sources say

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:19:18 GMT

The Broncos found a trade partner for Randy Gregory after all.They’re dealing him to San Francisco along with a 2024 seventh-round draft pick in exchange for a 2024 sixth-rounder, sources told The Denver Post on Friday afternoon.Broncos head coach Sean Payton, speaking after Denver wrapped Friday’s practice, said he didn’t have official confirmation on the deal but, “I think that’s been all finalized.”The compensation isn’t much, but Denver spent the week intending to release the veteran pass-rusher if they couldn’t find a trade partner for him. In that regard, moving up a few spots in the 2024 draft can’t hurt.“You always try to do that,” Payton said of getting at least something in return. “That’s pretty common.”Denver is set to pay all of Gregory’s remaining salary besides the prorated veteran minimum, a source said. That trims about $840,000 off Denver’s books and leaves the Broncos o...

What would it look like if one of California's most iconic brands partnered with a beloved sports franchise?

"That's probably one of the weirdest seasons for fans to kind of experience and to watch."Kawhi Leonard was bouncing back from injury and his pl...
