Biden to attend funeral for former Minnesota House Speaker Hortman, who was killed in shooting
MINNEAPOLIS — Former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris will join the mourners Saturday at the funeral for former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, who was killed in a pair of attacks that authorities have called an assassination and that also left her husband dead and a state senator and his wife seriously wounded. Biden also paid his respects Friday as Hortman, her husband, Mark, and their golden retriever, Gilbert, lay in state in the Minnesota Capitol rotunda in St. Paul, a few hours after the man charged with killing them while disguised as a police officer June 14 made a brief court appearance in a suicide prevention suit. The couple's private funeral, at the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis, is set for 10:30 a.m. Saturday. It will be livestreamed on the Department of Public Safety's YouTube channel . Neither Biden nor Harris is expected to speak. Harris expressed her condolences earlier this week to Hortman's adult children, and spoke with Gov. Tim Walz , her running mate on the 2024 Democratic presidential ticket, who extended an invitation on behalf of the Hortman family, her office said. Hortman, a Democrat , was the first woman and one of fewer than 20 Minnesotans to lay in state at the Capitol . It was the first time a couple has been accorded the honor, and the first for a dog. Gilbert was seriously wounded in the attack and had to be euthanized. The Hortmans' caskets and the dog's urn were arranged in the center of the rotunda, under the Capitol dome, with law enforcement officers keeping watch as thousands of people filed by. Many fought back tears as they left. Among the first to pay their respects were Walz, who has called Hortman his closest political ally , and his wife, Gwen. Biden, a Catholic, visited later in the afternoon, walking up to the velvet rope in front of the caskets, making the sign of the cross and spending a few moments by himself in silence. He then took a knee briefly, got up, made the sign of the cross again and walked off to greet people waiting in the wings of the rotunda. Lisa Greene, who lives in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Park like Hortman did, but in a different House district, said she came to the Capitol because she had so much respect for the former speaker. 'She was just amazing. Amazing woman. And I was just so proud that she represented the city that I lived in,' Greene said in a voice choked with emotion. 'She was such a leader. She could bring people together. She was so accessible. I mean, she was friendly, you could talk to her.' But, she went on to say admiringly, Hortman was also 'a boss.' 'She just knew what she was doing and she could just make things happen,' she said. The man accused of killing the Hortmans at their home and wounding Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman, and his wife, Yvette, at their home in nearby Champlin, made a short court appearance Friday for what the acting U.S. attorney for Minnesota, Joseph Thompson, has called 'a political assassination.' Vance Boelter, 57, of Green Isle, surrendered near his home the night of June 15 after what authorities called the largest search in Minnesota history . An unshaven Boelter was brought in wearing just a green padded suicide prevention suit and orange slippers. Federal defender Manny Atwal asked Magistrate Judge Douglas Micko to continue the hearing until Thursday. He agreed. She said Boelter has been sleep deprived while on suicide watch in the Sherburne County Jail, and that it has been difficult to communicate with him as a result. 'Your honor, I haven't really slept in about 12 to 14 days,' Boelter told the judge. And he denied being suicidal. 'I've never been suicidal and I am not suicidal now.' Atwal told the court that Boelter had been in what's known as a 'Gumby suit,' without undergarments, ever since his transfer to the jail after his first court appearance on June 16. She said the lights are on in his area 24 hours a day, doors slam frequently, the inmate in the next cell spreads feces on the walls and the smell drifts to Boelter's cell. The attorney said transferring him to segregation instead, and giving him a normal jail uniform, would let him get some sleep, restore some dignity and let him communicate better. Boelter did not enter a plea. Prosecutors need to secure a grand jury indictment first. According to the federal complaint, police video shows Boelter outside the Hortmans' home and captures the sound of gunfire. And it says security video shows Boelter approaching the front doors of two other lawmakers' homes. His lawyers have declined to comment on the charges, which could carry the federal death penalty. Thompson said last week that no decision has been made. Minnesota abolished its death penalty in 1911. Boelter also faces separate murder and attempted murder charges in state court that could carry life without parole. Friends have described Boelter as an evangelical Christian with politically conservative views . But prosecutors have declined so far to speculate on a motive.

To catch up on this "beef,'' Tyreek Hill has played against the Bills 12 total times in his career - regular season and playoffs - as a member of the Chiefs and Dolphins. And it hasn't gone well.
To catch up on this "beef,'' Tyreek Hill has played against the Bills 12 total times in his career - regular season and playoffs - as a member of the Chiefs and Dolphins. And it hasn't gone well. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Folks who watch Tyreek Hill and his notable behavior who aren't fans of his team often have a question that goes something like this ... Advertisement "What is that guy thinking?'' And now Buffalo Bills Mafia can form an answer ... "He's not.'' Hill, a nine-year NFL veteran who is among the fastest and most gifted players of his generation, is for some reason appearing in a video is going viral that shows him hanging out in a limousine with some YouTube personalities and going off on a NSFW rant about his rivalry with the Bills and their fans. "I don't (expletive) with the Bills," Hill said in his foul-mouthed monologue. "When I used to play in Kansas City bruh, it was always (expletive) the Bills every time we played against them. And we (expletive) them up every time. Advertisement "But in Miami it's the same thing too though, but like 10 times harder. It's (expletive) the Bills all day. All they wanna do is jump through (expletive) tables 'cause they got (expletive) CTE. Stupid (expletive) fans." Let's break this down in two ways ... One, to Bills Mafia: Here's betting you will take Tyreek's comments as compliments. Yes, you "jump through tables'' and you will likely have even more motivation to be rowdier than ever this tailgate season when Tyreek's Miami Dolphins come to town. And two, to the assertion that Hill's teams handle the Bills "every time.'' Advertisement Umm, not exactly. Hill has played against the Bills 12 total times in his career - regular season and playoffs - as a member of the Chiefs and now the Dolphins. In total, he has had 72 catches for 861 yards and three touchdowns in those meetings. That averages to about six catches, 72 yards and 0.25 touchdowns per matchup. Those numbers don't scream dominance ... but his Chiefs did have the upper hand in the playoffs during their Super Bowl reign ... slightly. In total, though, Hill is just 4-8 against the Bills in his career overall. And Hill's Dolphins have also lost the last six games they've played against the Bills from 2022-2024. Advertisement The Bills will square off with Hill and the Dolphins in Buffalo in Week 3 on Thursday Night Football and in Miami in Week 10 this season. Easy predictions? Tyreek will be an underdog again. And Bills Mafia will jump through tables again.

Are Bills NFL's Most Entertaining Team?
Are Bills NFL's Most Entertaining Team? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There are a few quarterbacks who are worth the price of admission just to see them, and one is Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen. Advertisement Armed with a cannon and the running ability of some of the best running backs in football, Josh can do things not many others can on a football field, both throwing and running. That puts him in rare air, and he's coming off an MVP win in 2024. Looking ahead to 2025, the Bills' offense, led by Allen, features Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer, Dalton Kincaid, and James Cook as its main weapons, which feels like a strong group. But will the Bills be entertaining? USA Today's Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz has ranked all 32 teams based on how entertaining they'll be, and the Bills come in at No. 2, with the Baltimore Ravens taking top spot. Advertisement "Falling just short of the mountaintop has become an uncomfortable throughline for Buffalo in many ways," Middlehurst-Schwartz writes. "At least that's not the case in MVP voting, where Josh Allen seized the award for the organization for the first time since 1991. "Allen's place as one of the most exciting catalysts in the NFL isn't in question even as he enters the final season of his 20s. But for a true Super Bowl breakthrough, Buffalo might need someone from a receiving corps that has been merely good enough to emerge as great, and there's not one figure who appears to be a natural candidate to do so." Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (17) dives for a first down against the Kansas City Chiefs during the second half in the AFC Championship game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Given what Allen can do on the field, he is the very definition of must-watch, and he could put the Bills at No. 1 just on his presence alone. Advertisement But there are others, with Cook devastating out of the backfield, or Shakir and Coleman doing their work in the passing game. However, let's be truthful, the reason Buffalo is so high is all down to No. 17. He is a unicorn, and puts bums on seats every Sunday, and as long as he is upright, the Bills will always be one of the most entertaining teams in football.
