Browns CB Reveals Workout Plans with Possible Cleveland Draft Target

1 day ago | idahostatesman.com | Timm Hamm

The Cleveland Browns have seemingly decided on who they want at No. 2 in Thursday's first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. And it's not a quarterback. The defensive player that most believe will be that pick is Colorado's two-way standout, Travis Hunter. Hunter won the Heisman Trophy, as he dazzled as both a wideout and cornerback for the Buffaloes last season. On Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reported that Hunter has reached out to current Browns corner Denzel Ward with a unique request.

1 day ago | idahostatesman.com | Evan Massey

Shedeur Sanders has been one of the most talked about prospects in the NFL heading into tomorrow night's first round of the 2025 NFL draft. At one point, Sanders was considered to be a near lock to be a top-three pick. That has since changed. Over the last couple of weeks, Sanders has been mocked at times in the second round. A popular landing spot has become the Pittsburgh Steelers with the No. 21 overall pick. No one truly knows where he'll go or how far he could slide.

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge had another outstanding game on Tuesday, going 4-for-4 with a double and a run against the Cleveland Guardians and raising his batting line to an absurd .411/.509/.722 (254 OPS+). However, the rest of the Yankees didn't do much. His teammates managed only two hits combined, resulting in a 3-2 loss in Cleveland. Unfortunately, that's kind of been the story of Judge's career in New York.

Thought there was a lot of construction happening in downtown Boise? You might want to buckle up — there could be more on the way.

3 days ago | idahostatesman.com | Stephan Wiebe

An incredible, record-breaking first three days ended in "shock" and heartbreak for Joel Dahmen at the Corales Puntacana Championship on Sunday at Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. After breaking the course and 36-hole records at the site of his only previous PGA Tour victory, the Clarkston native bogeyed his final three holes of the fourth round to fall one shot out of first place.

The Boise area’s most expensive homes are getting even more costly. Why?

3 days ago | idahostatesman.com | Nick Rosenberger

Perhaps you’ve noticed more and more McMansions in Eagle, wedged behind golf courses or perched in the Boise Foothills.
