MILAN (AP) — After another disappointing loss in Serie A, Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is under increasing pressure to deliver in the Champions League as his team visits Porto in the round of 16 on Tuesday. Inter is carrying a slender 1-0 advantage from the first leg and Inzhagi’s long-term future at the club could depend how the team performs this week after falling out of contention for the Serie A title. While Inter is still in second place in the Italian league, a 2-1 loss at relegation-threatened Spezia on Friday cast further doubts on Inzaghi’s position, with his team 18 points behind Ieader Napoli. A home game against bitter rival Juventus is up next on Sunday, and Inzaghi’s job could come under serious threat if Inter loses both games this week.

What to know if you're shed antler hunting in Colorado

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:14:49 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- As winter looks to make its turn into spring in the coming weeks, many wildlife enthusiasts will be heading into Colorado's great outdoors, but if you're planning to pick up a shed antler while you're out there, it's worth knowing the rules.Colorado is home to a variety of animals that shed their antlers in the late winter including deer, elk and moose.
