Want a free e-scooter lesson? Montgomery Co. is offering them

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:28:07 GMT

It seems like e-scooters are just about everywhere and in every neighborhood these days.That is why transportation officials in Montgomery County, Maryland, have decided to offer free lessons to people who want to learn how to pick up an e-scooter and ride it safely.“It’s informal, so there’s no registration, and walk-ups are welcome,” said Ruthann Eiser, a spokeswoman with Montgomery County’s transportation department.With the rise of ride-sharing services and the high cost of car ownership, e-scooters without charging docks have become a popular mode of transportation in many cities local and nationwide.While some people have criticized e-scooters because they have the potential to clutter sidewalks and other pedestrian areas, those who enjoy riding them say they’re a convenient and affordable transportation option.More Maryland NewsMore Montgomery County NewsE-scooters are relatively easy to use and can be found and rented quickly through smart...

Balanced Magic rally for victory at Washington

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:28:07 GMT

The Orlando Magic have a clear hierarchy in the type of field-goal attempts they want: shots near the rim, free throws and feet-set 3-pointers.The Magic are mostly successful in these desires, being top 10 in shot frequency at the rim (10th) and free-throw rate (6th). Orlando doesn’t take many 3s.But most modern defenses are designed to take away these shots, leaving one area of the floor open: the midrange.The Magic aren’t shy when it comes to taking intermediate shots and they weren’t in Friday’s 116-109 road win over the Washington Wizards (34-43) at Capital One Arena.Nearly one-third (32.2%) of their field-goal attempts come from the midrange, the 12th-highest mark in the league, including 11% (8th-highest) from “long midrange,” according to database Cleaning The Glass.“You don’t want to take away from what the game is giving you in those moments,” coach Jamahl Mosley said ahead of Friday’s win. “Early on, you wan...

Jalen Brunson leads Knicks past Cavs in potential playoff preview

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:28:07 GMT

CLEVELAND — If this was a preview of a first-round playoff matchup, expect a mountain of points and a thrilling battle of guards.Jalen Brunson won his matchup against Donovan Mitchell and the Knicks outlasted the Cavaliers on Friday night, 130-116, running away in the fourth quarter in their first game without the injured Julius Randle.Brunson dropped a career-high 48 points and MItchell added 42. The back-and-forth resembled a duel, with exciting finishes and little regard for perimeter defense. In a microcosm of the evening, Mitchell soared for a dunk with about five minutes left that cut Cleveland’s deficit to single digits. And Brunson immediately responded with a 3-pointer to bury the home team at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.“You guys have seen it all year. I think there’s nothing that he does that surprises you, and it’s a testament to how tough-minded he is,” Tom Thibodeau said. “He’s always so mentally tough, particularly when h...

It’s clear players want to play for Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel, but he views it as ‘organizational triumph’

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:28:07 GMT

The Miami Dolphins have been on a strong run of reeling in top-tier veteran talent over the past two offseasons.In trades for star wide receiver Tyreek Hill and cornerback Jalen Ramsey, each indicated Miami was where they wanted to go among teams that could build the framework for a deal. Them and edge rusher Bradley Chubb, acquired at last season’s trade deadline, all signed up for extensions with the Dolphins upon trades.Terron Armstead, the top available left tackle in free agency last offseason, chose the Dolphins. Linebacker David Long Jr. and others probably could’ve made more money elsewhere but wanted to be part of what’s being built in Miami.Sure, even in the last two decades of mostly irrelevance, the Dolphins have landed their share of big-name veterans: Brandon Marshall, Ndamukong Suh, Mike Wallace, Karlos Dansby, etc. But the past 13 months alone probably rival the past 13 years.It shows it’s not just because of warm weather or tax benefits ̵...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:28:07 GMT

There may not be a better person in NFL circles to speak on the unique personalities of new Miami Dolphins star cornerback Jalen Ramsey and coach Mike McDaniel than Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay.McVay coached Ramsey the past four seasons with the Rams, and he previously spent time with McDaniel on the same coaching staff in Washington a decade ago.The Rams coach feels McDaniel and Ramsey will mesh in Miami.“I think they’ll vibe really well,” McVay said at the NFL annual league meeting Tuesday morning at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix. “You talk about two guys that are refreshingly secure in who they are. They both got a swagger, a confidence, a passion for this game.”McVay got word of McDaniel’s quip with Ramsey that he’s going to try to be the best head coach the cornerback has had, a playful jab at McVay which Ramsey revealed at his introductory press conference in Miami.“I said, ‘He might be that, but he’ll definite...
