Eagles end 3-game skid, maintain control of NFC East title hopes with 33-25 win over Giants

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 04:29:15 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Yes, of course, Jalen Hurts and coach Nick Sirianni heard the booming chants that echoed throughout the Linc from Eagles fans fed up with the pass-heavy offense that stalled in the second half.“Run the ball! Run the ball!” “I think I’d hear that too even if I had a double headset on,” Sirianni cracked.No, of course, Hurts, Sirianni and offensive coordinator Brian Johnson weren’t going to surrender to the whims of fickle fans and their play-calling proposal from way up in the cheap seats.So they say.The Eagles eventually listened, and fans went wild when Kenneth Gainwell ripped off a 22-yard run and D’Andre Swift scored on a 5-yard run — yes, a rushing score that kept their chance of an NFC East title alive.Hurts scored on the “tush push” that gave him the NFL record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a season and he threw for 301 yards and a touchdown to lead the Philadelphia Eagles past the New York Giants 33-25 on Monday night.They even...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 04:29:15 GMT

SYDNEY (AP) — Super maxi LawConnect was the first out of the harbor in a close and dramatic start to the annual Sydney to Hobart yacht race on Tuesday.Rival 100-foot yachts SHK Scallywag and defending champion Andoo Comanche followed in that order as light winds made for a challenging start to the race. LawConnect has been runner-up in the last three Sydney to Hobart races.Comanche flew a protest flag from the start, accusing Scallywag of tacking too close to her as the yachts made their way out of the harbor and through Sydney Heads. If Comanche follows through with the protest and it is successful, Scallywag will need to complete a 720-degree penalty turn or risk being disqualified from a line honors win on arrival in Hobart.The fleet of more than 100 yachts will sail down the New South Wales state south coast and across the often treacherous Bass Strait to the island state of Tasmania. The finish line of the 628-nautical mile (720-mile, 1,170-kilometer) race is at Constitution Do...

ESTES PARK, Colo. (KDVR) -- Some parts of Colorado on Christmas Eve saw a good amount of snow, including many parts in the high country. Jason Smiley and his family saw all that snow as they traveled back down from Estes Park to Parker, but all the powder made driving conditions a little dicey on US Highway 36. Denver snow: Colorado snow totals for Christmas Eve "There had been a big snowfall from the night before," Smiley, a veteran and current Federal Agent said. "It was almost instant the road conditions changed like that." Smiley said they were coming around a turn on the two-lane highway when they saw a car turned over off the road. He said at first he thought it was from the night before but his wife noticed the lights were on and the car was still running. Smiley said he knew he needed to go and help. He climbed up on the top of the car and started to figure out what he needed to do to help. "There was snow all over and the airbags deployed, so I couldn’t see what was insi...

How Mann, Driver revved up ‘Ferrari for big screen

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 04:29:15 GMT

Somehow, the Adam Driver who plays Enzo Ferrari in Michael Mann’s definitive portrait of the illustrious Italian car maker is distinctly not an Adam Driver we’ve ever seen before.Lean, with short grey hair, quietly commanding in impeccably tailored Italian suits, Enzo in 1957 knows that to avoid the collapse of his automotive business only a new – and winning – race car can provide the boost that will, virtually overnight, spark sales.That year was essential, said “Ferrari” director Michael Mann (“Heat,” “The Last of the Mohicans”). “Because during this one year of 1957, the dynamics going on in his life all collide at this particular time.“The company’s going broke. But more importantly, he’s just lost his son Dino, so he’s in a state of grief. His marriage with Laura (Penelope Cruz) is falling apart and they’re both handling it in different ways. Everything about the history and what the future is going to be is happening at this particular moment.“These conflicts happen to all of...

Parker: Politicized universities part of larger problem

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 04:29:15 GMT

A free country will always have debate and differences of opinion. But that debate becomes dangerous and destructive when the differences strike at the core premises that define the very existence of the nation. When we can no longer agree about who we are, what we stand for and why we exist, our very existence comes into question.The country is divided today by those who see injustice as a problem to be defined and solved by politics and those who continue to see injustice as evil defined by Scripture and dealt with through repentance and self-correction.When the issue of slavery tore apart our nation, most Americans were church-going citizens. The dividing line then was between those who saw slavery as a sin and those who did not.As Abraham Lincoln said in his second inaugural address, delivered as the Civil War raged, “Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God and each invokes His aid against the other.”But today the division is between those for whom religion...

Editorial: It’s still the inflation, Mr. President

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 04:29:15 GMT

Our economy is in great shape, according to President Biden. It’s the media that has it wrong.As The Hill reported, Biden expressed confidence in the economy and ripped reporters for the way it has been portrayed before boarding the presidential helicopter Saturday.“All good. Take a look. Start reporting it the right way,” Biden said when asked about his economic outlook for 2024, according to a transcript released Sunday by the White House.True, the economy has bounced back from the pandemic, thanks in part to Biden’s spending trillions of dollars of economic relief and investments.And the unemployment rate was just 3.7% in November — barely above the pre-pandemic level of 3.5%, which was a five-decade low. Annual inflation has also fallen from a peak of 9.1% in June 2022 to 3.1%  in November.So why are his poll numbers in the basement?Is it because of reporting, or reality?What Biden and other Capitol Hill elites ignore at their peril is that when inflation hit America...
