City council eyeing changes to Sioux City fireworks ordinance
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — During Monday night's city council meeting, the city of Sioux City approved the first reading of changes that may soon be coming to the city's fireworks ordinance. The change would have the city's ordinance line up with the state of Iowa code on fireworks, expanding the number of hours fireworks can legally be discharged in Sioux City. 'We went from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m., basically they moved it up to 9 a.m. July 3rd and July 4th,' Sioux City Mayor Pro Tem Dan Moore said. 'So it's just complying with the state law.' The new state law will allow fireworks to go off between 9 a.m. and 10 p.m. on July 3.

Tennessee Titans' signing of Dan Moore named one of NFL's worst
Tennessee Titans' signing of Dan Moore named one of NFL's worst With the majority of coverage over the past few weeks centered on the 2025 NFL draft, it's easy to lose track of the fact that free agency is ongoing and teams are constantly adding to their rosters. This is also a good time to reflect on what the teams have done. The Tennessee Titans have been busy and appear to have solidified one of their most glaring weaknesses: Offensive line. The team signed Dean Moore, Kevin Zeitler, and Blake Hance during this makeover and could look to add some more depth during the draft. They have also added depth to the edge, safety, and retooled their linebacking corps. One of those moves caught the eye of Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report, and not in a good way, as he ranks one of their signings as one of the worst of the offseason. 1. Dan Moore Contract Terms: Four years, $82 million, $50 million guaranteed Adding offensive line help in free agency can be a dangerous proposition. There are essentially two types of linemen who hit the open market—aging veterans and middling talents who almost always wind up being overpaid. Offensive tackle Dan Moore definitely fits into that latter category. There has been no shortage of criticism of Moore's deal after the Tennessee Titans gave the 26-year-old over $20 million a season. For his part, Moore told Jim Wyatt of the team's website that he intends to prove all the doubters wrong. "Obviously, I want to exceed expectations," Moore said. "But it's not only about proving the team right, it's about proving myself right. I feel like my expectations will always be higher than anyone else's are for me. I feel like by meeting my expectations, I'll exceed the team's expectations. So, not only do I want to prove them right, I want to prove them damn right, where (they're thinking), 'We got our guy. He didn't just do what we needed him to do, he did that and more.' That is the consensus I want in the organization." The problem is that nothing in Moore's career to date indicates he's a $20 million a year tackle. Per Pro Football Focus, last year with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Moore allowed a whopping 12 sacks in 1,111 snaps while grading outside the top 45 players at his position. Moore is an average (at best) tackle who is now a top-10 player at the position in terms of average annual salary. That's not the kind of move that's going to get the Titans out of the AFC South basement. The signing of Moore has been met with mixed opinions from analysts throughout the offseason and will be debated for some time. But looking at this from a Titans-focused perspective may be different than viewing it from the outside. But calling it the worst free agent signing in the NFL might be a stretch. Moore is a tremendous upgrade from Nicholas Petit-Frere or any other player slotted into the right tackle position for the Titans in 2024, and his presence, in addition to Zeitler, will help stabilize a young and underperforming unit.

‘Scouting for Food' food drive holds honorary first bag ceremony
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — A special program was held on Thursday at the Food Bank of Siouxland in Sioux City. An honorary first bag ceremony took place for the Mid-America Council of Scouting America's 'Scouting for Food' food drive. Members of the Sioux City City Council attended the event. Mayor Pro-Tem Dan Moore was given the first two bags of donated food items from the members of Troop 204 to commemorate the community service project. Scouts members said they have been going door-to-door picking up non-perishable food items in the Sioux City area. Midwest Honor Flight close to achieving goal for June 3 flight 'That we get to help the community cause food banks are usually running lower on food around this time of year, because they usually get most of their donations during the fall. It also helps people who need the food because they usually don't have. If they can't get the food, they don't have the money to get it, so they have to go to the food banks,' said Byron Splitter, a scout with Troop 204. So far, Troop 204 has brought in more than 2,500 lbs. of food. Troop members said they're looking to collect more than 6,000 lbs. of food in total and all of the donations will go to the Food Bank of Siouxland. People can drop off their food donations at the Gordon Drive and Sergeant Road Hy-Vees, along with the Sergeant Road Fareway from now until April 5. Scout will be collecting food on April 5 to bring back to the Food Bank of Siouxland. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Titans Ripped for $82 Million Free Agent Signing
The Tennessee Titans opened up free agency with a splash signing of former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Dan Moore. Despite being the 42nd-ranked tackle in the NFL by Pro Football Focus, the team gave him a four-year contract worth $82 million. Moore has started 66 games in his career so he brings a lot of experience but he also allowed 12 sacks last season. He'll add stability to the Titans' left tackle position but not everybody is high on the move. Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report went through and named the biggest "WTF" moves of free agency. He listed the Moore signing among them. Tennessee Titans GM Mike Lee-Imagn Images "The problem is that in no world is Moore a top-10 tackle," Davenport wrote. "Per Pro Football Focus, he allowed a whopping dozen sacks in 1,111 snaps a year ago. No tackle allowed more. His pass-blocking grade fell outside the top-60 among tackles. Advertisement "Bill Callahan is one of the best offensive-line coaches the NFL has seen, but it will take more than just coaching for this not to be a massive overpay." Moore was the first big signing of Mike Borgonzi's tenure as Titans general manager so it's impossible to know if he has a knack for these moves. Tennessee needs more to be an upgrade at left tackle or they're stuck with a huge salary cap hit until 2027 at the earliest.
