Regulators look into death of racing dog, amid drug inquiry

Sports

September 18th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa regulators say they are investigating whether the death of a racing dog is linked to the use of a performance-enhancing drug found in others in the same kennel. Administrator Brian Ohorilko of the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission says the dog from the Iowa Greyhound Park in Dubuque died at a veterinarian’s office Wednesday night.

He says the dog isn’t among those that have already tested positive for ractopamine, a drug widely used as a feed supplement for livestock. But he says the dog came from one of the two kennels that are under investigation. The animal’s carcass is being sent to Iowa State University for a necropsy. Two trainers and two kennels have been temporarily suspended as regulators investigate how dogs ended up with the banned substance.

Lackey, Cardinals sweep; Brewers pitcher Nelson hurt

Sports

September 18th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

MILWAUKEE (AP) — John Lackey pitched seven shutout innings and the NL Central-leading St. Louis Cardinals beat Milwaukee 6-3 Thursday night in a game delayed after Brewers pitcher Jimmy Nelson was hit in the head by a line drive. The Cardinals swept the three-game series to extend their winning streak to four. They now lead second-place Pittsburgh by five games in the division race.

Nelson was struck in the back of the head by a liner from Tommy Pham in the third inning. Nelson crumpled on the mound and remained prone for about a minute. Nelson later walked off the field and was hospitalized after a CT scan showed a contusion. Lackey (12-9) scattered five hits and two walks while striking out eight. He has a 2.23 ERA in his last 17 starts dating to June 15.

Pham tripled, doubled and singled, driving in two runs and scoring twice. Matt Carpenter got three hits, including a home run. Nelson (11-3) took the loss and Milwaukee dropped its sixth in a row.

 

Broncos complete stunning comeback, beat Chiefs 31-24

September 18th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Denver cornerback Bradley Roby returned Jamaal Charles’ second fumble 21 yards for a touchdown with 27 seconds remaining, completing a stunning comeback in the Broncos’ 31-24 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night.

Peyton Manning threw for 256 yards and three touchdowns, the last to Emmanuel Sanders with 36 seconds left as the Broncos (2-0) appeared headed for overtime. But on the next play by the Chiefs (1-1), Charles was stripped by Brandon Marshall and the ball bounced right into Roby’s hands.

The dramatic about-face came after Knile Davis gave Kansas City the lead with 2:27 left on an 8-yard run, raising hope among a sellout crowd that the Chiefs might finally end some curses. Instead, Denver pushed its winning streak to seven straight over its AFC West rival, while Manning improved to 14-1 in his career against the Chiefs.

 

Iowa St faces crucial road test at talented Toledo

Sports

September 18th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State’s first road game will be its final test before the Big 12 season. The Cyclones can’t afford to start league play with a losing record. Iowa State (1-1) heads on Saturday to Mid-American Conference favorite Toledo (1-0) — which stunned Arkansas on the road last week — in need of a response after losing to Iowa 31-17.

The Cyclones finally paid for its listless rushing attack, as the Hawkeyes shut them out in the second half. But Iowa State’s play has been at times encouraging, especially on defense.

 

Iowa, Pitt set for Big Ten-ACC matchup

September 18th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The similarities between Pittsburgh and Iowa have helped make their semi-regular series an exciting one. The Hawkeyes (2-0) and Panthers (2-0) find themselves in much different spots heading into Saturday’s matchup at Kinnick Stadium.

Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz is one of the nation’s longest-tenured coaches. But Ferentz has shaken things up in his 17th season in Iowa City, with a new-look offense and fake field-goal tries in each of Iowa’s first two games.

Pitt has yet another new coach in Pat Narduzzi, who stymied Iowa and the rest of the Big Ten as the defensive coordinator at Michigan State.

Chiefs host Broncos tonight

Sports

September 17th, 2015 by admin

KANSAS CITY (AP) — Tonight’s NFL game is an AFC West matchup as the Kansas City Chiefs entertain the Denver Broncos. Each team is coming off a Week-1 victory. The Chiefs beat the Texans 27-20 and the Broncos dumped the Ravens 19-13.

Denver quarterback Peyton Manning has enjoyed great success in Thursday night games, passing for just under 36-hundred yards and 38 touchdowns. He didn’t have the best of games against the Ravens last week, leading many pundits to question just how much the veteran has left in the tank.

For the Chiefs, quarterback Alex Smith was 22 of 33 for 243 yards last Sunday with three touchdowns.

Before and during the game the Chiefs will honor their Super Bowl I and IV teams.

Catch all the action on KJAN AM 1220 and FM 101.1 as Mitch Holthus, Len Dawson, Kendall Gammon and the crew bring you the game on the Chiefs Radio Network.  Pregame at 6:00pm, kickoff set for  7:25pm.
