Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:48:45 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — Washington linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio knows the little bit of sloppiness that showed up for the eighth-ranked Huskies on Saturday can’t happen against other opponents on the schedule.Against Tulsa they were brief hiccups on the way to another big day. “We don’t take games for granted, every game is hard to win and you have got to respect every single opponent. But at the end of the day, I mean, that wasn’t our best game. And it was clear to see,” Ulofoshio said. Michael Penix Jr. threw three more touchdown passes, wide receivers Rome Odunze and Ja’Lynn Polk both ran for touchdowns on reverses and Washington cruised past Tulsa 43-10 on Saturday.Washington (2-0) warmed up for next week’s big nonconference game at Michigan State with another big game from its star quarterback, but an overall performance by the Huskies that will have some correctable moments to talk about this week. “We’re doing a good job getting the (wins) but we know we left a lot out the...

Repurposed pay phone entertains kids and grownups with jokes in DC

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:48:45 GMT

Coin-operated pay telephones, once ubiquitous, in places ranging from gas stations to drug stores to street corners, have vanished from the landscape. But someone has figured a way to repurpose an old pay phone to dial up some smiles.Near Lafayette Elementary School in D.C.’s Chevy Chase neighborhood, there’s an old-fashioned chrome and black steel telephone on a pole. Just like the old phones, it has a hard-plastic handset with a coiled metal cable attached at the bottom of the mouthpiece.But wait, there’s something different about this pay phone, which popped up earlier this year on Northampton Street NW. It’s the lettering. Instead of P-H-O-N-E, the blue sign on this apparatus says J-O-K-E.“OK, it says dial the number…I’m not sure what these numbers are here, press 1 for a knock-knock joke,” said Calvin Dillon, 13, an 8th grader at The Heights School of Potomac, as he experimented with the unusual device, with his dad nearby.“...
