URI got steamrolled on Saturday, suffering a bruta URI got steamrolled on Saturday, suffering a brutal 48-0 loss at the hands of Minnesota in an afternoon thrashing. After holding their own early, the Rams (1-1) were completely worn down by the Gophers, who dominated every aspect of the game. For a brief moment, it looked like Rhody’s defense might keep them in it. The Rams kept Minnesota (1-1) in check, trailing just 3-0 after the first quarter. But that was the high point. The Gophers took control, limiting Rhode Island to a measly 19 offensive snaps in the first half while running a whopping 40 plays themselves. Minnesota’s 14-point second quarter blew the game wide open. A punishing 13-play, 83-yard drive ended with Darius Taylor punching it in from a yard out to make it 10-0 early in the second. Before halftime, the Gophers marched downfield again, capping another grueling 14-play drive with a Marcus Majors 2-yard TD run to push the lead to 17-0. The second half? All Minnesota. The Gophers came out and crushed any hope Rhody had left, eating up more than seven minutes on a 12-play, 73-yard drive. Max Brosmer hit Cristian Driver with a 6-yard TD pass to stretch the lead to 24-0, and it only got uglier from there. Minnesota tacked on three more touchdowns and a field goal in the blowout. Stats Tell the Story
The Gophers outgained the Rams 422 yards to 135, holding the ball for more than 40 minutes. Rhode Island could only muster six first downs compared to Minnesota’s 27. Brosmer was surgical, completing 24-of-30 passes for 271 yards and two scores, while the Rams’ offense sputtered all day. Linebacker A.J. Pena was a lone bright spot for Rhode Island, racking up seven tackles and Rhode Island’s first sack of the season. Meanwhile, linebacker Cole Brockwell had a career-high 13 tackles, and wide receiver Marquis Buchanan led the Rams’ offense with five catches for 64 yards. Up Next
The Rams look to rebound when they kick off CAA Football play at home against Campbell next Saturday night. #URI #urifootball #rhodeisland #rhodyrams #newportbuzz #minnesota #collegefootball
🚨 Game Day Alert! 🚨 The New England Patriots 🚨 Game Day Alert! 🚨 The New England Patriots hit the road to kick off their 2024 season against the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday at 1pm! 🏈 It’s the fourth time these two teams have opened a campaign against each other, but the first since the Pats dominated 38-24 back in 2010. But don’t count Cincy out—this matchup at Paycor Stadium could be a nail-biter! ⚡️ 👀 Flashback: The last time the Pats started a season in Cincinnati? 1972. Spoiler alert: It wasn’t pretty—Bengals won big, 31-7. Fast forward to 1994, Robert Kraft’s first win as Pats owner came in a thrilling 31-28 victory over the Bengals. 🏆 All-time series? Pats lead 17-10, winning 7 of the last 10, but Cincy squeaked out a 22-18 win last December at Gillette. Key to victory: Can the Pats revive their struggling run game with Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson? The Bengals’ Sheldon Rankins and B.J. Hill will be tough to beat on the defensive line. 🔥 Watch out for Jacoby Brissett! He’s back for his second stint as QB, but Cincinnati’s deadly pass rush duo, Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard, won’t make it easy. On the other side, Bengals QB Joe Burrow is healthy, but WR Ja’Marr Chase might miss the game due to contract issues. Could this open the door for the Pats defense? Can the Pats snap their opening day slump and grab a W? 🏟️ Time to find out! LET’S GO! 💥 #patriots #patriotsnation #bengals #nfl #sundayfunday #newportbuzz #newengland

New England’s grandiose offshore wind deal, tout New England’s grandiose offshore wind deal, touted as a green energy triumph, may turn out to be a colossal blunder. RI and Mass have just committed to 2,878 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind power in what they claim is a historic procurement. Mass is snagging the lion’s share with 2,678 MW from three projects, while RI is chipping in 200 MW. This move is supposed to power over 125,000 RI homes and 1.4 million Mass homes. But beneath the surface, the fallout could be disastrous. While state leaders celebrate this as a victory for renewable energy, opponents are raising alarms about the harmful effects these projects are having on marine ecosystems. The construction and operation of these enormous wind turbines are being linked to an alarming rise in the deaths of marine animals, including whales and dolphins. The noise and disruption caused by these offshore wind farms are wreaking havoc on the creatures that call the ocean home. Governors Dan McKee and Maura Healey are hailing this deal as a major milestone for clean energy and economic growth. However, the promises of energy independence and job creation are being overshadowed by the grim reality beneath the waves. The damage to marine life is becoming impossible to ignore and the immediate harm to marine ecosystems is too glaring to brush aside. As New England touts its latest achievement in green energy, we must ask: at what cost? The push for renewable energy could be setting a dangerous precedent, sacrificing our oceans for the sake of progress. The environmental impact of these projects paints a much darker picture than the one being paraded by state officials. Renewable energy is vital, but not if it comes at the expense of our marine ecosystems. Is this really the future of green energy, or are we taking a path that could leave irreversible damage in its wake? #windfarms #keepitgreen #rhodeisland #massachusetts #windfarm #newportbuzz #oceanconservation #greenoceans
Captain Todd Silvia, a cornerstone of the Newport Captain Todd Silvia, a cornerstone of the Newport Police Department, has retired after a distinguished 29-year and 5-month career. His departure marks the end of an era for the department and the city he served with unwavering dedication. Captain Silvia, who began his tenure with the Newport Police Department in July 1995, was a graduate of the Police Academy in June of the same year. From the outset, he immersed himself fully in every aspect of policing, serving across all shifts and neighborhoods. In 1996, he joined the Special Response Team (SRT), where his leadership and expertise soon elevated him to a supervisory role. In October 2004, Silvia transitioned to the role of Detective, where he conducted critical investigations until his promotion to Sergeant in March 2005. As a street supervisor, he played an instrumental role in mentoring new officers and managing various patrol divisions over a six-year period. April 2012 saw Silvia advance to the rank of Lieutenant, with his responsibilities shifting to the prosecution unit within the Criminal Investigation Division. His commitment to professional development was further demonstrated by his attendance at the FBI’s National Academy in Virginia in October 2015. By 2016, he had taken command of the Patrol Division, and his promotion to Captain soon followed. In November 2022, he assumed command of the Criminal Investigation Division, a role he held until his retirement. Throughout his career, Captain Silvia earned widespread recognition, including 19 letters of commendation, 10 letters of praise, and the department’s meritorious service award. His contributions have left a lasting impact on the Newport community and the police department. Captain Silvia now embarks on a new chapter with the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency! #newportpolice #newportri #newportbuzz #rhodeisland #police #firstresponder
🚨 Starting this Sunday at 9 p.m., the Rhode Isl 🚨 Starting this Sunday at 9 p.m., the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) will begin demolishing the deck of the old Washington Bridge. Gano Street, where it passes under I-195, will be closed from Sunday through Thursday nights, 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., for the next two to three weeks. During this time, expect detours via India Street, Wickenden Street, South Main Street, and South Water Street. The on-ramp to I-195 West at Gano Street will remain open. A full weekend closure of Gano Street is also planned later this fall for beam removal, with dates to be announced. RIDOT is also starting demolition on the East Providence side next week, but no immediate traffic impacts are expected. Be aware of potential lane closures on I-195 for monitoring system upgrades and routine maintenance. Stay tuned for updates and plan your routes accordingly! #washingtonbridge #rhodeisland #providenceri #eastprovidenceri #newportbuzz #ridot
@salvereginafootball kicked off its season in styl @salvereginafootball kicked off its season in style on Friday night, delivering a 28-10 drubbing of Curry College at Toppa Field, thanks to a game-changing pick-six and a ground attack that just couldn’t be stopped. Junior linebacker Marc Promutico lit up the scoreboard first with a 35-yard interception return early in the second quarter, sending the hometown crowd into a frenzy. Promutico read Curry’s quarterback like a cheap novel, snatching the pass and taking it to the house, putting the Seahawks up 7-0. The Colonels would tie it up later in the quarter with a 5-yard touchdown run from Colin Ridley, but that was about the last bit of good news Curry would get all night. Salve didn’t waste any time retaking control. Just before the half, running back Justan Luzzi bulldozed his way into the end zone for a 9-yard score, putting the Seahawks up 14-7. The third quarter? All Seahawks. Jacob Hernandez broke loose for a 47-yard touchdown run, leaving Curry defenders in the dust. A special teams blunder by Curry in the fourth—a punt that went out of bounds at their own 1-yard line—gifted Hernandez another score, this time on a one-yard plunge, putting the game completely out of reach. Curry tried to make it interesting with a 34-yard field goal, but their two interceptions and that disastrous punt were too much to overcome. “We made big plays when it counted,” said Salve head coach Kevin Gilmartin, now 10-1 in season openers. “Defense stepped up, and we capitalized on their mistakes.” Game Breakdown: * Final Score: Salve Regina 28, Curry 10 * Key Play: Promutico’s pick-six to open the scoring * Top Performers: Jacob Hernandez with two rushing TDs, Justan Luzzi racking up 94 yards On defense, linebacker Mark Sokk was a tackling machine, logging 14 stops to anchor the Seahawks’ dominant performance. Salve Regina hits the road next week for a showdown against Western New England University in Springfield, Mass. If they keep playing like this, the Seahawks look ready to make some noise this season. #salveregina #newportri #collegefootball #newportbuzz #currycollege

The next seven weeks in Newport are the most magic The next seven weeks in Newport are the most magical of the year. The light breezes and cooler, drier air harken autumn days ahead. But hold onto your sweater, pumpkin; don’t rush it. There will be time for apple pies, roasted Brussels, and candied yams, but we will not be talking about any of that until after September 22. These next 14 days usher in the final bounty of summer’s harvest. Bursting-ripe, juicy tomatoes and berries, sweet, crunchy white corn, and the most magnificent swordfish you’ve ever grilled (get it from The Local Catch out of Narragansett and thank me later) are still on the menu. You might want to hustle to savor a few of the following summer must-haves before we turn the page on the season, starting with a blueberry tart of the Gods at Le Bec Sucre, available through the end of September. It’s a flaky, crispy, croissant-like base, topped with pastry cream and mounded with sweet and tart fresh blueberries and if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: Belinda’s confections are the best I’ve had outside of Paris. If you haven’t hit @thequenchernewport on Long Wharf yet, any season will do, but while the weather is fine, you absolutely cannot beat the view from the rooftop patio and bar, which overlooks the boats at the Newport Yacht Club. The Italian menu is solid, and there’s a burger here that will absolutely knock your socks off. New to the patio scene is the gorgeous outdoor space at Flora, the new restaurant at The Gardiner House. Within a city that boasts a view a block, this view might be the most enchanting of all. Looking out over the marinas and harbor from this vantage point makes you feel like you could be at any riviera town anywhere in the world. Get the tuna carpaccio and an aperitif at the bar and take it all in, or reserve a table. The sublime bisque at the @newportlobstershack on Long Wharf is among the best in New England, a smooth, rich elixir studded with bits of lobster, topped with a pile of sweet meat, made from the daily catch. (Full story, juicy details and more end-of-summer musts at link in bio) #whatsheshaving #newportri #newportbuzz #localssummer #scenesofnewengland
Former President Donald Trump’s sentencing in hi Former President Donald Trump’s sentencing in his New York hush money case has been officially delayed until November 26, meaning voters will head to the polls without knowing whether the Republican frontrunner will face prison time. The case revolves around a $130,000 payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels in the lead-up to the 2016 election. Prosecutors claim Trump’s team arranged the payment to keep Daniels quiet about an alleged affair, and Trump later falsified business records to hide the reimbursement. Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business documents. He could face up to four years in prison, although legal experts predict a sentence of probation or community service is more likely. His lawyers requested the delay to avoid what they called “naked election interference,” and the judge agreed, pushing back the sentencing to avoid the appearance of political bias during the presidential campaign. The legal battle doesn’t end there. On November 12, the court will rule on Trump’s request to dismiss the case, citing a recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. Until then, Trump’s future remains uncertain as his legal troubles continue to hover over his bid for the White House. #donaldtrump #stormydaniels #election2024 #trumpvance #harriswalz #newportbuzz #potus
In a transaction marking a significant milestone i In a transaction marking a significant milestone in Jamestown’s real estate market, @liladelmancompass announced the sale of 121 Walcott Avenue for $7 million, making it the highest sale in Jamestown this year, according to data from the Rhode Island Statewide MLS. The final price was $600,000 above the asking price, placing the sale as the fifth-highest ever recorded in the seaside town’s history. The seller was represented by Cynthia Moretti of Lila Delman Compass’ Jamestown office, while Stacie Mills and Mary Waddington of Vanderbilt International Properties represented the buyer. The historic summer cottage, designed by renowned 19th-century architect Charles L. Bevins, boasts ten bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms.

In addition to its spacious interior, the property includes access to the Cottrell Pier Association, granting the owners private waterfront amenities such as a beach, pavilion, and pier. The sale also includes an adjoining 39,163-square-foot lot. Reflecting on the sale, Cynthia Moretti expressed gratitude: “I’m thankful that this wonderful family trusted me to help them navigate the sale of their cherished home, filled with 54 years of memories. It was a joy to show, and I’m excited for the new owners to become the next stewards of this remarkable property.” Lila Delman Compass, ranked as the top luxury brokerage in Jamestown, continues to lead the market in total sales volume for the year. #jamestownri #realestate #rhodeislandrealestate #liladelmancompass #newportbuzz #newportri #scenesofnewengland
