The New England Patriots stormed to an early 7-0 l The New England Patriots stormed to an early 7-0 lead against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, but their momentum quickly evaporated as Matthew Stafford and the Rams offense found their groove. Stafford torched the Patriots with four touchdown passes, including a 69-yard bomb to Cooper Kupp, as the Rams seized control and secured a 28-22 victory. Despite a career-best performance from rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who threw for 282 yards and two touchdowns, the Patriots couldn’t overcome their red-zone struggles, converting just 2-of-5 opportunities inside the 20. Maye’s late-game interception sealed New England’s fate, ending their comeback bid. The Rams offense was unstoppable for most of the afternoon, amassing over 400 yards and averaging nearly 10 yards per play through three quarters. Stafford connected with Kupp twice for scores, while rookie sensation Puka Nacua and tight end Colby Parkinson also found the end zone. The Patriots defense, which forced punts on the Rams’ first two drives, struggled to find answers afterward. New England tightened up late, forcing two punts in the fourth quarter, but their efforts came too late to prevent the Rams from notching their sixth win of the season. Now 3-8, the Patriots face a daunting road trip to Miami next week for an AFC East clash with the surging Dolphins. Miami, riding a two-game winning streak, represents a critical test for Maye as he adjusts to the league’s challenges and looks to establish himself as a future leader for New England. #patriots #nfl #football #rams #newengland #newportbuzz #patriotsnation

It was a heart-pounding finish at Toppa Field on S It was a heart-pounding finish at Toppa Field on Saturday, as Salve Regina’s defense stood tall to secure a narrow 31-30 victory over Norwich. After building a comfortable 31-17 lead heading into the fourth quarter, the Seahawks were forced to weather a dramatic Cadets’ comeback attempt that came down to the final play. The Seahawks started strong, with running back Justan Luzzi punching in a 7-yard TD early in the first quarter. Norwich quickly answered with a 90-yard touchdown pass from Landon Beecher to Henri Bourque, tying the game at 7-7. From there, it was back and forth. Salve grabbed the lead again with an 8-yard TD run from Jacob Hernandez, but Norwich responded with a field goal. The Seahawks extended their advantage with a 33-yard field goal from Nathan DiRado, and just before halftime, quarterback A. Bellizzi engineered a 15-play, 85-yard drive, capped by a 3-yard TD pass to Max Mazzella. At the break, Salve led 24-17. The third quarter was all Seahawks. Luzzi’s 2-yard touchdown run gave Salve a two-touchdown lead, while the defense kept Norwich quiet, putting Salve in a strong position to close it out. But Norwich wasn’t done. A Devin DeJesus interception returned for a touchdown brought the Cadets within a touchdown. Then, with less than two minutes to go, Jehric Hackney exploded for a 44-yard touchdown run, pulling Norwich within 31-30. The Cadets went for the win with a two-point conversion, but Salve’s defense held firm, sealing the victory. Salve’s kicker Nathan DiRado finished a perfect 4-for-4 on extra points, and finished the season 18-of-19 on the year. With the 2024 season now complete, the Seahawks look to build on this strong finish as they set their sights on 2025. 📸 Ed Habershaw #salveregina #norwich #newportri #newportbuzz #collegefootball #football
URI pulled off a stunning comeback Saturday, rally URI pulled off a stunning comeback Saturday, rallying from a 17-point halftime deficit to defeat UAlbany 20-17 at Meade Stadium. The Rams (9-2, 6-1 CAA Football) scored 20 unanswered points, capped by defensive tackle Westley Neal Jr.’s game-saving blocked field goal as time expired. Trailing 17-0 at halftime, Rhody came alive in the third quarter. Running back Malik Grant broke loose for a 42-yard touchdown on the opening drive, then added a 1-yard score after Braden Price intercepted a UAlbany pass. Despite a blocked extra point, the Rams cut the deficit to 17-13 entering the fourth. The turning point came when quarterback Hunter Helms hit Marquis Buchanan for a 30-yard pass, plus a 15-yard penalty for a horse-collar tackle. Grant finished the drive with his third touchdown, a 7-yard run that gave Rhode Island a 20-17 lead with 9:36 left. Rhody’s defense dominated down the stretch, recording five sacks and forcing two interceptions. Neal’s blocked field goal sealed the Rams’ first unbeaten home season since 1985 and tied the program’s record for regular-season wins. Grant finished with 110 rushing yards and three touchdowns, bringing his season total to 963 yards and 10 scores. Buchanan had six catches for 132 yards, leaving him just 103 yards shy of 1,000 for the season. Linebacker A.J. Pena notched two sacks, moving into second all-time for career sacks at URI with 24.5. The Rams honored their 21 seniors in a pregame ceremony, then delivered a victory for the ages. Rhode Island wraps up the regular season at Bryant on Nov. 23, with a chance to solidify its postseason hopes and continue this historic run. 📸 Connor Caldon #uri #rhodeisland #Rhody rams #ualbany #newportbuzz #collegefootball #football

This transaction underscores Lila Delman Compass’s dominance in the local luxury market. According to Rhode Island Statewide MLS data, the firm has facilitated five of the top six sales in Jamestown year-to-date—a remarkable achievement.

Sited on over three acres overlooking the serene waters of Narragansett Bay, the residence at 25 Fly Jib Court is a contemporary masterpiece. Recently redesigned and renovated by award-winning Sweenor Builders, the home seamlessly blends modern luxury with coastal charm.

It’s been a busy week for the Newport Police Dep It’s been a busy week for the Newport Police Department, as detectives wrapped up several high-profile investigations. Here’s the latest: Stabbing Conviction Lands Killer 30 Years:
Justice was served on Monday, as Tyrese Poulsen, 28, was convicted of manslaughter for the brutal 2021 stabbing of Maximus Julian. The deadly altercation on June 3, 2021, sparked a meticulous investigation by Newport’s finest, culminating in Poulsen’s arrest. This week, Poulsen learned his fate—a 30-year sentence at the Adult Correctional Institution (ACI). Drug Bust Yields Cash, Coke, and Guns:
A tip led Newport’s Narcotics Unit to two residences last week, uncovering a stash of cocaine, cash, and firepower. On November 14, detectives executed search warrants at the homes of Glenda Mendez, 48, and Edgardo Torres, 26. The results? A Sig Sauer 9mm handgun, two loaded magazines, 16 grams of cocaine, and a jaw-dropping $32,750 in suspected drug money. Mendez, of Third Street, was hit with charges of possession with intent to distribute cocaine and using a firearm in a crime of violence. Torres, of Girard Avenue, faces possession with intent to sell a controlled substance. Cocaine Trafficking Takedown: The long arm of the law reached all the way to Puerto Rico in a months-long investigation into a major drug trafficking ring. Newport detectives and DEA agents busted Martin Lopez Rodriguez, 46, and Freddy Almanzar, 18, in Newport on November 15. The duo was caught red-handed with two kilograms of cocaine—a haul valued at $100,000. Both men are now facing serious charges, including delivery of more than one kilogram of cocaine and conspiracy to distribute. This massive seizure marks one of the largest drug arrests in Newport’s recent memory. Newport PD: Cleaning Up the Streets:
The department’s efforts this week highlight a commitment to tackling violent crime and dismantling drug operations in the community. #newportri #newportpolice #newportbuzz #drugbust #rhodeisland
Former Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo, a Demo Former Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo, a Democrat who is concluding her tenure as Biden’s U.S. Secretary of Commerce following former President Donald J. Trump’s return to office, is exploring a potential run for governor, according to multiple sources familiar with her deliberations. Raimondo, 53, is said to be evaluating a third bid for the governorship as a strategic step to maintain a foothold in public service and potentially re-enter national politics, @thepublicsradio reports. A source close to Raimondo’s circle confirmed to iandonnisreports that she has been researching the constitutional viability of pursuing a third gubernatorial campaign in Rhode Island, exploring whether a return to state office could serve as a pathway to future federal positions. Although Raimondo has not yet announced her intentions, the source confirmed that a gubernatorial campaign is indeed under serious consideration. Raimondo did not respond to a request for comment from the outlet. State law appears to leave open the possibility of a third term, provided it is nonconsecutive with her previous two terms. John Marion, executive director of Common Cause Rhode Island, tells The Public’s Radio hat Rhode Island’s Constitution does not explicitly prevent a former governor from serving a third, nonconsecutive term. This legal interpretation could clear the way for Raimondo’s return to the state’s highest office. Raimondo, who served as Rhode Island governor from 2015 to 2021, has $584,000 in her campaign account, positioning her well should she choose to enter the race. Meanwhile, incumbent Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee, expected to seek reelection in 2026, holds $505,000 in his campaign reserves. After serving as the 40th U.S. Secretary of Commerce under President Joe Biden, Raimondo’s potential return to state politics has sparked speculation about her longer-term ambitions. Should she proceed with a gubernatorial campaign, it could mark a significant pivot as she considers her next move in an increasingly competitive political landscape and will created certain shockwaves through Rhode Island politics.

The City of Newport announced Friday the appointme The City of Newport announced Friday the appointment of Michael A. Caruolo as its first-ever Deputy City Manager. A seasoned public servant with more than three decades of experience, Caruolo is set to take on the role starting Jan. 6, 2025. Caruolo’s public service career began with the Newport Police Department, where he served for 22 years and retired as a lieutenant in 2014. Over the past decade, he has worked as the Director of Public Safety and Community Relations at Salve Regina University, managing a $1.3 million budget and leading a team of 32 public safety professionals. In his new position, Caruolo will provide management support to Newport’s bumbling and unqualified City Manager Colin Kennedy, a well-known opponent of the 1st Amendment and a free press. Caruolo’s role will include overseeing daily operations and strategic planning across Newport’s city departments. A longtime Aquidneck Island resident, Caruolo has built a reputation as a dedicated leader. While with the Newport Police Department, he commanded the Special Response Team and coordinated emergency plans for major events, earning accolades such as two Chief’s Service Awards, five Meritorious Service Awards, and 31 commendation letters. At Salve Regina, Caruolo was instrumental in fostering stronger relationships between the university and the local community. His leadership shone during the 2019 gas outage when he collaborated with city officials to address the crisis. He also spearheaded initiatives to improve communication and engagement between students and residents and served as president of the Rhode Island College and University Public Safety Association. Caruolo, a graduate of the Rhode Island Municipal Police Academy, holds a degree in Administration of Justice from St. Anselm College. #newportri #newportbuzz #rhodeisland
