Rodeo bull "Sauce Boss" recaptured after five-day search in Western Colorado
The bull was found a few times (including by a homeowner) roaming around in thick brush behind the Horse Ranch Neighborhood, but crews had difficulty trying to actually get the bull down.
Sauce Boss, the bull, had escaped from the Snowmass Rodeo.
Snowmass Village
Michelle Lubetzky, playing volleyball near the rodeo Sunday, was familiar with the bovine search.
"Apparently it has blended well with, with the scenery in Aspen, I don't know," Lubetzky said, laughing.
One homeowner told CBS Colorado the bull had actually been roped before his eventual capture Sunday, but because of heavy rain, he was able to escape once again.
Sunday cowboys took horses again up the trail to try and find the bull, and succeeded, leading him down and back towards the rodeo at the bottom of the hill. Homeowners tell CBS the bull is expected back in the rodeo for Snowmass Village next Wednesday.

New nickname, mascot announced for Youngstown schools
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — The Youngstown City School District has just announced its new nickname and mascot. Starting in the 2026-27 school year, East and Chaney high schools will merge, along with their middle schools. They'd previously called on the community to help decide the nickname for the new schools and select a mascot — and the results are in. The combined schools will be known as the 'Defenders,' represented by a fierce owl with the outline of the city of Youngstown between its plumicorns, pictured below. 'The Defenders mascot goes beyond a name; it is a powerful symbol of strength, who we are, and who we are becoming,' said YCSD Superintendent Jeremy Batchelor. 'We are grateful for our scholars, staff, alumni, and community support, and look forward to what lies ahead for the future of Youngstown City School District.' Based on feedback from the community and further conversation with the Youngstown Board of Education, the new school names have now transitioned from Youngstown Unified to Youngstown High School and Youngstown Middle School, according to a release from the school. First News sat down with Superintendent Jeremy Batchelor to talk all the newest rebranding. Check back here for updates. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Cowboys need dramatic improvement as top NFL offenses prove run-pass balance matters
The running game is back in the NFL! Not only were the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles second in rushing yards last season, but eight of the top 11 rushing teams qualified for the playoffs. It appears teams that ran the ball well had an inside track on the postseason. So, the Dallas Cowboys just need to run the ball more in 2025 to increase their playoff odds, right? Not so fast. Running the ball for the sake of running ball does little good for a team's playoff hopes. In fact, an inefficient ground game comes at the opportunity cost of a more efficient passing game. Stubborn play calling would then actually hurt a team's playoff chances. Advertisement Rushing the ball is a tried-and-true pathway to success, provided it's efficient enough to warrant its heavy usage. Additionally, 'heavy usage' doesn't mean it's now more predominant than the passing game or even balanced with the passing game. It just means it's carved out a bigger role than what has been typical in recent years. Based on nfelo numbers for 2024, the Eagles had the highest pass rate in the NFL. Given their success on the ground, it's hard to fault them for it. Philadelphia averaged +0.056 EPA rushing compared to +0.165 EPA passing. Passing was still more efficient, but the margin was narrower than most teams. Since situations typically dictate run-pass play calling on third downs, RBSDM calculates early-down balance separately. On early downs the Packers and Eagles led the NFL in rushing rate (57.3 and 53.7 respectively). As one may surmise, both teams were extremely successful rushing it on early downs, thus justifying its abnormal usage. Advertisement The next three teams on the list are evidence that it's an efficient rushing attack that leads to success instead of simply rushing for the sake of rushing. Tennessee, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh finished third, fourth and fifth in early down rushing rate. They didn't rush because they were good at it but rather, they rushed because their quarterback play was abysmal, offering negative EPA output through the air. This is a situation a healthy Dak Prescott-led offense has never had since the Cowboys' passing game has always ranked among league leaders in EPA efficiency. Takeaways for the Cowboys The Cowboys should absolutely run the ball more often in 2025. Such a shift in run-pass balance would take pressure off their young offensive line and limit injury exposure to an aging QB. But the frequency of running plays needs directly correspond to the success it achieves in efficiency. At -0.128 EPA Dallas had the seventh worst rushing EPA in the NFL last season so they would have to drastically improve to justify a heavier usage in 2025. Which they intend to do.

(AP Photo/Spenser Heaps, File) NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Knicks hired Mike Brown on Monday, turning to the two-time NBA Coach of the Year after firing Tom Thibodeau. The Knicks offered the job to Brown last week and announced Monday that he would be taking over the team that reached the Eastern Conference finals last season for the first time in 25 years. Advertisement They decided to fire Thibodeau despite that and eventually picked Brown, who wasn't out of work long after getting fired by the Sacramento Kings during last season. Brown had led the Kings to the postseason in 2023 — their first appearance since 2006 — and was voted the Coach of the Year. He also won the award in Cleveland, where he led the Cavaliers to the 2007 NBA Finals. ___ AP NBA:
