Column: Rams’ miracle journey back to playoffs proves they’re Super Bowl contenders
The Rams played their worst game in nearly two months ...
... but they’re a good team.
Matthew Stafford made two awful throws that were intercepted ...
... but they’re a good team.
They wouldn’t have escaped with a 26-25 victory on Sunday if the five-win New York Giants hadn’t self-destructed ...
... but they’re a good team.
The Rams are more than a good story. They’re also a good team. And in the wake of the division rival Seattle Seahawks’ 30-23 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers, they’re now a playoff team.
The Rams know they made mistakes in their 26-25 win over the New York Giants, but the players praise the team’s ability to “find a way to win.”
Just one year removed from their own five-win debacle, the Rams are headed back to the postseason.
They have one of the best coaches in the league in Sean McVay, they have a veteran quarterback who has won a Super Bowl in Stafford, they still have the best defensive player in the game in Aaron Donald and they have a legitimate ground game for the first time in who knows how long.
They’re not perfect, but they’ve won six of their last seven games, and they’re the team others should approach with extreme caution in the coming weeks.
The Rams are for real.
What started as a season in which they were rebuilding and transformed into a season in which they established a foundation for the future has suddenly turned into a season very much about the present.
Consider how McVay has adjusted his evaluation system for these Rams. Saying before the season that wins and losses wouldn’t be the only measure of success, he defended his team’s uneven performance Sunday by pointing to the final result.
“Our guys found a way,” McVay said.
The Rams are no longer a project. They’re 9-7. They’re Super Bowl contenders.
That’s not to say they don’t have concerns.
Their special teams were a mess against the Giants, as kicker Lucas Havrisik missed two extra-point attempts and Gunner Olszewski returned a punt for a 94-yard touchdown against them.
Their inability to move the ball in the second half kept the Giants in the game.
They failed to protect Stafford, who was sacked four times, and Stafford compounded the problems by misfiring on a couple of throws over the middle of the field that were intercepted by safety Dane Belton.
“I’m excited about being able to say, ‘Hey, it’s gonna be a lot more fun cleaning these things up after a win,’” McVay said.
At the same time, the game marked a continuation of the season’s most positive developments.
Breaking down the notable numbers behind the Chargers’ 16-9 road loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday — scoring and statistics.
Donald was, well, Donald, and registered two sacks. Equally, if not more encouraging, was the play of rookies Kobie Turner and Byron Young. Turner was credited with 21/2 sacks and Young with one. Turner has nine sacks on the season and Young six.
Second-year back Kyren Williams provided the Rams with a running game they’ve lacked since Todd Gurley’s knee disintegrated. Williams scored three touchdowns, the last of them a 28-yard slalom through the Giants’ defense that accounted for the winning points.
The game featured several moments in which the Rams could have lost control, but Turner said the team’s recent upswing convinced them they’d figure out how to triumph.
“I think we’ve earned a lot of that confidence,” Turner said.
The Rams were on their way. They sensed that even before the Seahawks’ loss made that official, as their locker and interview rooms were places where jokes were cracked and laughs were shared.
Williams laughed as he recalled Puka Nacua’s 80-yard reception that set up his two-yard touchdown run, saying he shouted at Nacua repeatedly, “Run, Puka, run!”
Informed that Nacua was shown on television soon after vomiting in a trash can on the Rams’ sideline, Williams feigned outrage, exclaiming as he giggled, “Why would they show that on TV? That’s terrible.”
Stafford smiled when talking about how Giants cornerback Adoree’ Jackson told him after the game he was convinced he was going to return Stafford’s pass to Nacua for a touchdown.
“So it was almost a touchdown for somebody,” Stafford said.
While McVay recalled the details of the narrow victory, team spokesman Artis Twyman stood nearby looking as if the game had aged him 20 years.
“What about f— me?” McVay said with a hearty laugh.
Why not laugh?
This miracle journey, one only they believed they’d make, is continuing. The Rams are returning to the playoffs.

Mixon rushed the ball 21 times for 65 yards in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chiefs. He added four receptions on four targets for 22 yards and a touchdown.
After being challenged in his role as lead back for the last several weeks, Mixon out-touched Chase Brown 25-5. He was highly inefficient on the ground by averaging only 3.1 yards per carry, though he found more success as a pass catcher. The highlight of Mixon's performance came on a seven-yard touchdown catch early in the second quarter -- his ninth total trip to the end zone in his last 10 games.

‘Incredible’ fireworks display and Pulp concert light up Hogmanay celebrations
Revellers at Edinburgh’s Hogmanay celebrations brought in the new year with an evening of fireworks and music from Pulp.
Thousands gathered at the sold-out Princes Garden Street Party and Concert in the Gardens for the festival’s 30th anniversary.
The event, organised by UniqueAssembly and City of Edinburgh Council, was be headlined by Pulp, who have not played in the city in 20 years.
Following the first part of set, the fireworks began at midnight and crowds cheered, roared and sang.
Mark Wright, 50, said: “This is the first time I’ve been here. The fireworks were brilliant.
“I’ll be here next year, straight away. As soon as I get home I’ll be booking up for next year.”
Alice, 42, said: “We left the children at home tonight with a babysitter, and it’s incredible. New Year’s Eve, retro tunes, the weather has been amazing.
“Could there be a band more perfect for this than Pulp? Possibly only Blondie – I couldn’t think of a better band.”
She continued: “The fireworks were incredible, they went on, and on and on.
“We’re from London and Hogmanay is one of those things you always feel is a bit overdone, but it’s been incredible, and to have snuck into the VIP area by accident is excellent.”

FREEPORT, N.Y. — Authorities in New York are looking for the person responsible for stabbing a dog 17 times.
The dog, a 2-year-old Terrier mix who has since been named Cornell, was injured by a sharp object on Nov. 27, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly told WNBC-TV. He survived the attack but had a long road to recovery.
A woman claimed to have found the dog bleeding on a street in the Long Island village of Freeport, according to the television station. The dog did not have a collar or an identification chip, Donnelly said. There was no evidence that Cornell was part of a dogfighting ring, WNBC reported.
The woman who found the dog is not a suspect, Donnelly said.
“Cornell can’t tell us his story. He can’t tell us what happened. He can’t tell us why or when something like this happened to him,” Donnelly told WABC-TV. “We just know he was found bleeding from the 17 wounds.”
Dog found stabbed 17 times in Nassau County, $5K reward offered for information https://t.co/1rJiYJmwbx pic.twitter.com/HfMGPIGtas
— Eyewitness News (@ABC7NY) December 29, 2023
“I’ve seen some pretty horrific things but the extent of the amount of times he was stabbed is unimaginable how someone could ever do that,” Ashley Behrens, acting director of the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, told WPIX-TV.
The dog is now walking, jogging and thriving, barely a month after he was attacked, according to the television station.
Two-year-old terrier mix Cornell is walking, jogging, and thriving just one month after being found with 17 stab wounds across his body, according to county officials.
“Some of the stab wounds caused his lungs to leak air between his body cavity and his lungs, and they had to be drained a number of times,” Donnelly said, according to WABC. “The other stab wounds were cleaned, were either stapled or sewn.”
Donnelly said there were currently no suspects, but she said her office is seeking the public’s help to find out what happened to Cornell.
“I believe this was somebody’s pet. He’s too healthy and in too good shape to have been a street dog,” Donnelly said, according to WNBC. “We need the public’s health to help us find who did this to Cornell.”
Gary Rogers of the Nassau County SPCA echoed Donnelly’s comments.
“People start out on animals before they move into human beings,” Rogers told WPIX. “Somebody in the community knows what happened. You got to keep your community safe. You need to call the DA’s office and tell them who did this because next time you’re going to look at this it could be somebody else.”
Nassau County SPCA is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction, WABC reported. | https://www.powerorlando.com/news/trending/dog-survives-after-being-stabbed-17-times/7UTCMVE4B5H7XPWUMMAC6N3X3U/ | 2024-01-01T02:53:07Z |

David Warner on Monday called time on one-day international cricket ahead of his farewell Test against Pakistan in Sydney, but kept the door open to play the 2025 Champions Trophy if needed.
The 37-year-old will pad up in his 112th and final Test this week, having plundered 8,695 runs at an average of 44.58, with 26 centuries and 36 half-centuries.
At a press conference at the Sydney Cricket Ground, he also announced his retirement from ODIs.

“I’ve got to give back to the family and also on the back of that I’m definitely retiring from one-day cricket as well,” he said.
“That was something that I had said through the World Cup, get through that, and winning it in India, I think that’s a massive achievement. So I’ll make that decision today, to retire from those forms, which does allow me to go and play some other (T20) leagues around the world and sort of get the one-day team moving forward a little bit.
“I know there’s a Champions Trophy coming up. If I’m playing decent cricket in two years’ time and I’m around and they need someone, I’m going to be available,” he added.
The Champions Trophy has not been played since 2017, but is set to be brought back in 2025 in Pakistan. Traditionally 50 over cricket, reports have said there is a push underway to make Twenty20.
Warner will leave one-day cricket after playing 161 matches, smashing 6,932 runs at average of 45.30.

Clothes made for moving and resting
Maybe one day you’re feeling motivated and want to get some exercise with a brisk jog. Or maybe you’ll change your mind and do some much-needed relaxing on the couch instead. This type of perfectly relatable indecisiveness calls for a most versatile ensemble: workout clothes that are also great for lounging.
Marked by its comfort (and therefore lack of compression), athleisure works just as well at a barre class as on a lazy Sunday at home. And don’t think that means you have to compromise on style — our favorite workout/loungewear is just as cute as it is cozy.
New year, same you: Affordable home workout equipment because you hate the gym
Our favorite places to shop for comfy athleisure clothes
Athleisure clothing is more popular than ever, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, which came with ample time spent at home and, therefore, spawned a new appreciation for ultra-comfortable clothing. There are lots of great places to buy cute workout clothes that are also excellent for lounging. These are a few of our favorites.
Universal Standard
The inclusive clothing retailer has a robust athleisure section. We love that every versatile piece comes in an excellent size selection. Nearly the entire line comes in the same colorways, so it’s super easy to mix and match various pieces to create several great outfits.
Vuori
Browse the pages of Vuori’s website, and practically everything you find will fall into both the activewear and the loungewear categories. Of all the California-based brand’s high-quality offerings, we’re partial to its DreamKnit and BlissBlend lines. The DreamKnit line, which includes the comfiest silky sweats dubbed the Performance Jogger, is crafted from a lightweight-but-durable supersoft fabric that feels amazing. Meanwhile, the new BlissBlend line of leggings and sports bras is made from a high-stretch fabric with a luxuriously airy feel.
Abercrombie & Fitch
In case you missed it, the newly rebranded Abercrombie & Fitch is officially cool again. Among our favorite things to shop from the more inclusive brand is its activewear under the YPB label. (By the way, that stands for Your Personal Best, a message we can certainly stand behind.) The coziest offerings include soft and stretchy leggings and a relaxed-fit, quick-dry, long-sleeve T-shirt.
Colorfulkoala
These budget-friendly yoga pants, which are available on Amazon, are among our favorites for their super-comfy matte finish that’s reminiscent of pricier Lululemon styles. Though they’ll stay securely put through even the most intense workout class, they can be worn just as well around the house with an oversized sweater and slippers. There are tons of fun patterns and colors to choose from, as well as iterations with and without pockets.
Quince
Though best known for its $50 Mongolian cashmere sweater, this direct-to-consumer brand also offers an impeccable selection of activewear. Though motion-ready, everything is highly comfortable, so you don’t have to work out if you don’t want to.
Halara
This brand specializes in all kinds of comfortable clothing and its Cloudful Fabric line feels exactly the way it sounds: heavenly. We especially love the cross-waist leggings, which have a flattering fit, but are designed to stay put despite activity. They come in a ton of fun colors in two different lengths.
Best athleisure clothes to shop
Universal Standard Mia Movement Tee
This versatile top makes a great workout item but can be paired just as well with your favorite pair of jeans (which we sincerely hope are also your comfiest pair). The cotton fabric is light and breathable, as well as sweat-wicking and antimicrobial.
With a lightweight yet supportive fabric, Vuori’s newest leggings are breathable and supremely soft. The performance-stretch material is designed to stay put while you move, and the high waistband is comfortable and flattering. We especially love that it comes in three length options and pairs with the Vuori BlissBlend Bra to make the perfect ensemble.
These dreamy, supersoft bottoms are crafted from a silky fabric that’s equally great for jogging and lounging. They have a tapered leg with an above-the-ankle cuff and a drawstring waist. They come in a bunch of gorgeous hues, as well as a long-length option.
Abercrombie YPB powerSOFT Long-Sleeve Easy Tee
This supremely comfortable top is the perfect length to partner with a pair of leggings and wear to a winter workout class. Don’t worry if you sweat. The quick-dry fabric can handle it without issue. However, if a Netflix marathon is on the agenda instead, you’ll be equally impressed with the top’s roomy and perfectly drapey fit.
Abercrombie YPB studioSOFT 7/8-Length Legging
We love a legging that’s available in multiple length options to help everyone get the perfect fit. This delightfully comfy, lightweight pair has a ton of stretch. If you wear them to the gym, you’ll appreciate the convenient card pocket. If you wear them to lounge, you’ll love the supersoft feel of the fabric.
Colorfulkoala High-Waisted Yoga Pants
It doesn’t matter if you wear these stretchy bottoms to a yoga class or to your couch — you’re bound to be impressed by the buttery-soft fabric. Even better, there are over 20 colors and patterns to choose from, and since the price tag is so agreeable, you can load up with a bunch.
Quince Ultra-Soft Fitted Long-Sleeve Top
With a close-but-not-constricting fit, this long-sleeve top is an excellent choice for a winter workout class or a work-from-home day. We love the thumbholes, which make it great for layering and add some sporty flair.
Quince Ultra-Form High-Rise Flared Pant
These flared yoga pants have a secure high-rise fit. They’re crafted from a moisture-wicking, antimicrobial fabric that’s perfectly suitable to sweat in — or not! The flared bottoms add a fun retro-inspired look to these versatile pants.
Halara Everyday Cloudful Fabric 3.0 Crossover Pocket Plain Leggings
These leggings are perfect for yoga or lounging, and the flattering crossover waist makes them especially cute to wear with a cropped top. The four-way stretch fabric offers comfort and durability, and the side pockets are convenient for when you’re on the go.

Williams rushed 15 times for 41 yards and caught all three of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.
Williams' struggles continued after he finished with a per-carry average below three yards for the third game running. Unlike last week against the Patriots, the tailback was unable to offset his poor rushing production with a trip to the end zone. Jaleel McLaughlin (8-44-0) finished as the Broncos' leading rusher and continues to outproduce Williams both on the ground and also as a backfield receiver. The latter should still produce double-digit touches against the Raiders in Week 18, but he has done little in recent weeks to inspire confidence in fantasy managers or DFS players.

Dec. 31 (UPI) — A 14-year-old boy in Fresno, Calif., was arrested after his parents were found dead last week in a vicious attack that also left his 11-year-old sister critically wounded.
A 7-year-old male sibling was home at the time of the attack, but was not harmed, Fresno County Sheriff John Zanoni said at a press conference, which was posted to Facebook.
The mother and father were attacked with “multiple weapons” and died at the scene, Zanoni said. Further details were not provided.
The victims were identified as 37-year-old Lue Yang and his wife, 37-year-old wife Se Vang, according to Zanoni.
Doctors performed emergency surgery on the young girl, who was expected to survive.
Police are withholding the name of the alleged attacker due to his status as a minor.
The investigation remains ongoing, but police said there was no continuing threat to the public.
Community members were urged to call police to share what they know about the family.
The violence erupted around 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 27 at a home on Dunlap Road in rural Miramonte, where the 14-year-old flew into a rage, police said.
“When individuals live in rural areas of Fresno County like up there in the mountains, those individuals tend to have weapons readily available, whether it be knives, firearms, things like that,” Zanoni said.
The suspect called 911 to report an intruder had broken in, shot his family members, and fled in a silver pickup truck, but investigators who arrived at the scene said the evidence didn’t match the boy’s explanation.
“Evidence ultimately showed that he fabricated the story of a break-in and was responsible for using multiple weapons to attack his mom, his dad, and his sister,” Zanoni said. | https://gephardtdaily.com/top-stories/boy-14-arrested-after-parents-found-dead-in-vicious-attack-at-calif-home/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=boy-14-arrested-after-parents-found-dead-in-vicious-attack-at-calif-home | 2024-01-01T02:53:07Z |

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — In a sport long defined by its coaching giants, Nick Saban and Jim Harbaugh are among the few larger-than-life figures still standing.
Saban has won six national championships at Alabama, establishing the most successful program of the 21st century. Harbaugh has completely revitalized his alma mater, reaching three straight College Football Playoffs at Michigan with style and controversy.
They’ll face off on opposite sidelines for only the second time Monday in the Rose Bowl. The Crimson Tide (12-1) take on the Wolverines (13-0) in a tantalizing CFP semifinal pitting the two winningest schools in major college football.
In no small part because of the coaching matchup, this 110th edition of the Granddaddy of Them All is also one of the most anticipated games in the 10-year history of the playoff, with the winner headed to Houston next week to face Washington or Texas for a title.
Yet to varying degrees, Saban and Harbaugh both reflect the truism that the price of incredible success is an inability to enjoy it, at least while it’s happening.
While both coaches have been gracious throughout their public appearances in Southern California, the magnitude of this showdown clearly weighs on their shoulders.
“I don’t reminisce much about what’s happened in the past,” Saban said Sunday before posing stiffly with the Rose Bowl trophy and an equally formal Harbaugh. “I’m kind of looking forward to today, and the next day.”
After a perfect regular season in which he got to attend only half of the games because of a pair of three-game suspensions, Harbaugh has been his usual exuberant self at the Rose Bowl, whether riding in a horse-drawn carriage at Disneyland or giving a humorous scouting report on Jesus (“He would have been a five-star player, no doubt about it. He would have been a Hall of Fame coach.”).
But the archetypal Michigan Man also spoke solemnly about the motivation he’ll impart to his players. While Harbaugh has achieved his goal to restore the Wolverines as a powerhouse, they have yet to win a CFP game (0-2).
“What it means is that your players know what it’s like to be a champion,” Harbaugh said. “That’s the special feeling. Their parents know what it’s like to have a son or a brother or a grandson who’s a champion. … It’s for all them, and all that we’re associated with.”
Saban has known Harbaugh’s family since the 1970s, when Saban was an up-and-coming defensive assistant who got tips from Michigan secondary coach Jack Harbaugh, Jim’s dad.
They coached against each other in the 2020 Citrus Bowl, with Alabama beating Michigan 35-16 to cap the only season in a seven-year stretch in which the Tide weren’t in the playoff. Harbaugh’s ballyhooed rebuilding of the Wolverines appeared to be a failure at that point — but after the abbreviated 2020 season, Michigan has soared to a 38-3 record in the past three years.
“There were just some really dark days that we had to get through,” said Michigan offensive lineman Trevor Keegan, who was there. “After the season, coach Harbaugh sent us a long email saying we’re going to change this program together. And our first team meeting, it was either you get on the train and we’re moving, or you’re getting off. Ever since then, we’ve been working our tails off to get where we are and have the success that we’ve had.”
Alabama hasn’t gone more than three seasons between national championships in Saban’s 17-year tenure, but the Tide need to win this one to keep the streak alive. Saban is also back at the venerable stadium where he won his first national title for Alabama, beating Texas in 2010.
Most observers agree Saban did one of the most impressive coaching jobs of his career this year. After getting two new coordinators in the offseason, Saban revitalized a team that stumbled in September and led it to 11 consecutive wins and an SEC title.
“We had some really good rat poison early,” Saban said, referring to his preferred name for outside noise. “It was almost like Wheaties, because everybody criticized us and said we weren’t any good, and we were done, and Coach Saban is past his prime and all that. It was like eating Wheaties, ‘Breakfast of Champions.’ That helped us.”
LAST CHAPTER?
Behind the excitement is the quiet possibility that this could be the last game at his school for whichever famed coach loses.
Saban is 72, and retirement rumors have circulated throughout college football’s back channels in recent months. Saban has shrugged it off publicly with humor.
“Yeah, I’ve heard them before,” Saban said. “I think when you get my age, everybody is waiting for you to — you know.”
And with NCAA investigators circling Harbaugh and the Wolverines, few will be surprised if the 60-year-old Harbaugh elects to return to the NFL. If Michigan wins a national title as punctuation, it would make even more sense.
BIG FINISHES
The Tide are in the CFP for the eighth time in 10 years, while Michigan has its third consecutive berth.
Alabama got here by surviving the Iron Bowl on Jalen Milroe’s miraculous touchdown pass to Isaiah Bond on fourth-and-31 before upsetting two-time defending national champion Georgia, which had won 29 straight, in the SEC title game.
Michigan steamrolled into the playoff with its first No. 1 ranking since 1997, beating Ohio State in The Game and blanking Iowa in the Big Ten title game.
ALABAMA’S OFFENSE
Milroe has grown into the Tide’s starting job since getting benched for a week in September, and Michigan must protect against both his arm and his legs. Milroe has a knack for big plays — none bigger than his 31-yard TD pass on fourth down to beat Auburn last month.
Leading rusher Jase McClellan is expected back after he missed the SEC title game, while Milroe can throw to big-play receivers Isaiah Bond and Jermaine Burton.
MICHIGAN’S OFFENSE
J.J. McCarthy is a polished passer who put up 2,630 yards and 19 TDs against four interceptions with a wealth of talented targets, including 500-yard receivers Roman Wilson, tight end Colston Loveland and Cornelius Johnson. Blake Corum is a standout rusher with 1,028 yards and 24 TDs.
LONG TIME COMING
Michigan is making its 21st Rose Bowl Game appearance, more than any school except USC — but its first since 2007, reflecting the program’s struggles before Harbaugh.
Alabama hasn’t played in a Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena since 1946. Saban’s Tide won the 2021 Rose Bowl, which was played in Texas because of COVID-19 safety concerns.

Jeudy (illness) had three receptions on six targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.
Jeudy overcame a bout with an illness during the practice week to suit up and serve as one of Jarrett Stidham's top targets Sunday. The Broncos were without fellow starter Courtland Sutton (concussion), but Jeudy's usage did not increase with the former's abcense. The 24-year-old wound up receiving the same number of targets that he had averaged over his previous three games (six) with Sutton active. That said, Jeudy can still provide some fantasy value as a high-floor asset against the Raiders in Week 18.

Dortch pulled in all seven of his targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 35-31 win over the Eagles.
Dortch served as one of the Cardinals' top targets sans Marquise Brown (heel) in Sunday's thrilling comeback victory over the Eagles. Dortch wound up finishing with more receiving yards than any receiver from either team Sunday. The Wake Forest product has stepped up when called upon at various points of the season, averaging 4.5 receptions and 56.8 yards with two touchdowns in the four games he has been targeted five or more times. With Hollywood Brown already being placed on injured reserve, Dortch figures to serve as a top wideout for Arizona in Week 18. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/cardinals-greg-dortch-leads-team-with-82-yards/ | 2024-01-01T02:53:17Z |

LONDON (AP) — Arsenal is limping into 2024 after a damaging stretch that culminated in what coach Mikel Arteta called “the worst performance of the season” on the final day of the year.
A toothless Arsenal side lost 2-1 at Fulham on Sunday despite taking the lead in the fifth minute, a second straight defeat that means the team stayed in fourth place in the Premier League — when a victory would have lifted it into first.
“It’s a really sad day because today we didn’t deserve to win the game,” Arteta said. “That was the worst performance of the season.”
It continued a worrying run that has seen Arsenal end 2023 with just one win in its last five league games, including its first home loss of the season to West Ham on Thursday.
Arsenal would have provisionally climbed above Liverpool atop the table with a win, but could find itself five points off the lead if Jurgen Klopp’s team beats Newcastle on Monday. Arsenal stayed in fourth — having been top of the table at Christmas — and is now just one point ahead of fifth-place Tottenham after its north London rival beat Bournemouth 3-1 at home.
This latest setback came despite Bukayo Saka putting Arsenal ahead after just five minutes as he turned in the rebound from a shot by Gabriel Martinelli, who had made a marauding run from inside his own area.
There was little in the way of attacking threat from the visitors after that, though, and bad defending helped Raul Jimenez equalize in the first half and Bobby De Cordova-Reid poke in the winner after a corner in the 59th.
“Not good enough from us again today,” Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice said. “The game against West Ham we had 30 shots, so many touches in the box but couldn’t put it away. Today when (we) go one up we have to have more control. We need to demand more from each other. We had to push on again and go for more. In this league there is no room to mess up. It is a tough one to take.”
Fulham had lost its last three league games by a combined score of 8-0 but was boosted by the return of Jimenez from a suspension. The striker has now scored four goals in his last four league games — equaling his tally from his previous 50.
TOTTENHAM BOUNCES BACK
Don’t count Tottenham out of the title race just yet.
Ange Postecoglou’s team is three points behind Liverpool after bouncing back from a 4-2 defeat at Brighton on Thursday with a convincing win against Bournemouth.
Tottenham was boosted by the early return of Rodrigo Bentancur from an injury at a time when Postecoglou is without a handful of starters. But the win was marred by Senegal international Pape Sarr leaving the field in tears with an injury in the first half — just two weeks before the start of the African Cup of Nations — after he had scored the opening goal in the ninth minute.
Tottenham had to wait until the 71st minute for another goal, but Son Heung-min and Richarlison scored late to make the game safe before Alex Scott pulled one back for Bournemouth.
After a great start to the season under Postecoglou, Tottenham fell out of the top four after a five-game winless run but could soon be back in the Champions League places.
“We’re still in there and fighting,” Postecoglou said. “We’re three points off the top so if that is the difference between having a great season and where we are I’ll take it.”

Kazakhstan, Russia, Iran ink memo on wheat trade coop
The memorandum was signed by Kazakhstan's Deputy Minister of Agriculture Gulmira Issayeva, Russia's Deputy Minister of Agriculture Sergey Levin and Iran's Deputy Minister of Agriculture Jihad Ali-Akbar Mehrfard. Attending the signing ceremony was Minister of Trade of the Eurasian Economic Commission Veronika Nikishina.
According to Deputy Minister Issayeva, the memorandum is an integral part of the Free Trade Zone Agreement signed between the EAEU member states and Iran last year.
"Volume of Kazakhstani wheat supply may reach 500,000-1 million tons per year. Last year was successful in that respect for Kazakhstan. The country exported 11.7 million tons of grain in 2018. Kazakhstan is planning to expand trading area. That is why we are immensely interested in Iran's market," she added. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/kazakhstan-russia-iran-ink-memo-on-wheat-trade-coop_a3497577/ | 2024-01-01T02:53:22Z |
Stick completed 24 of 38 pass attempts for 220 yards and rushed for 31 yards on five attempts in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Broncos.
Stick corrected his turnover issues from last week's loss to the Bills, but it came with the price of scoring no offensive touchdowns against the Broncos on Sunday. It was the second time in three starts that the longtime backup failed to produce either a passing or rushing touchdown. That fact coupled with a tough matchup against the Chiefs on the docket make Stick a low-end fantasy option for Week 18.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills acquired cornerback Rasul Douglas at the trade deadline to shore up a depleted defense and reverse the team’s slide in the standings.
The ballhawking Douglas delivered Sunday, and now Buffalo is on the doorstep of another playoff berth.
The 29-year-old Douglas returned one of his two interceptions for a score and tipped a pass to cause a third turnover in helping the Bills maintain their clear path to the playoffs with a 27-21 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday.
“I don’t know what we gave up to get him,” safety Micah Hyde said of the deal in which Buffalo also acquired a fifth-round draft pick by sending a third-round selection to Green Bay. “But we won that trade.”
Josh Allen made up for his poor passing by scoring twice on 1-yard runs, and the three-time division champion Bills (10-6) now prepare for a season-ending showdown at Miami (11-5) next weekend that will decide the AFC East title. Buffalo has already defeated the Dolphins this year, and Miami blew a chance at clinching the division with a 56-19 loss to Baltimore on Sunday.
The Bills will have to wait until Week 18 to clinch a playoff berth after Pittsburgh (9-7) defeated Seattle 30-23.
The Buffalo enters the final week seeded sixth in the AFC race. Barring ties, the Bills could still secure their fifth consecutive playoff berth with a loss to Miami if Pittsburgh loses at Baltimore or Jacksonville (9-7) loses at Tennessee.
However things go, a patchwork defense that’s spent much of the season without cornerback Tre’Davious White (torn Achilles tendon) and linebacker Matt Milano (right leg) rose up in forcing four turnovers and limiting the Patriots to 16 first downs and 294 yards. Tackle Ed Oliver had an interception on a pass tipped by Douglas, and cornerback Christian Benford forced a fumble by stripping the ball from receiver Pharaoh Brown.
“Resilience. Relentless. We always fight,” Douglas said. “I think that we got our identity now and know what we are capable of doing.”
Buffalo won its fourth straight and fifth in six games by overcoming an inconsistent offense which settled for a touchdown and two field goals off three defensive takeaways inside the Patriots 30 in the first half. The Bills also responded after the Patriots opened the game with Jalen Reagor’s 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
Buffalo went up 10-7 and never relinquished the lead after Allen’s first 1-yard run with 6:37 left in the first quarter, which was set up by Douglas’ first interception at New England’s 14. Douglas made it 20-7 by scoring on his 40-yard interception return 2 1/2 minutes into the second quarter.
New England (4-12) proved both stout in a game it had little to play for and sloppy in a season the Patriots will finish with their most losses since going 2-14 in 1992. It could be the fewest wins in coach Bill Belichick’s tenure, which he opened with a 5-11 record in 2000.
“Obviously a terrible first 20 minutes. From there, we battled away, but obviously gave them too big of a lead and couldn’t quite get it back,” Belichick said. “Just stop turning it over. Once we did that, we were competitive.”
Bailey Zappe finished 16 of 26 for 209 yards and also scored on an 18-yard run.
“I don’t think it was difficult to keep fighting because it was more about us than it was about them,” Patriots center David Andrews said. “The first half, you can’t do that. You can’t turn the ball over four times. But no one lost belief. Not one lost faith. Obviously, no one quit.”
Zappe had more interceptions (three) than the Patriots had first downs (two) during New England’s first six possessions. The Patriots, however, pulled within 27-21 on Ezekiel Elliott’s 6-yard run with 11:01 left.
Following a three-and-out on New England’s next possession, the Patriots never got the ball back.
Allen converted three third-down opportunities on Buffalo’s final drive to run out the final 5:02. He capped the time-consuming drive by lowering his head on a 4-yard run on third-and-3 from the Patriots 16.
Allen finished 15 of 30 for 169 yards and an interception. He lamented not putting the game out of reach earlier.
“Three possessions down there in the first quarter, and we only scored one touchdown, so that’s not good enough,” he said. “We lucked out and our defense played a heck of a game. Just trying to find a way to win.”
BY THE NUMBERS
Allen scored his team-leading 15th TD rushing, one short of matching the team’s season record set in a 14-game season by O.J. Simpson 1975. … Allen had his streak of games throwing a touchdown end at 23. … WR Stefon Diggs had four catches to reach 100 this season. He became the NFL’s third player to have four or more consecutive seasons with 100 catches, joining Antonio Brown (2013-18) and Marvin Harrison (1999-2002).

Mahomes completed 21 of 29 passes for 245 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 25-17 win over the Bengals. He also lost a fumble.
Mahomes didn't deliver a stellar stat line, but he kept the Chiefs' offense on schedule by averaging 8.4 yards per attempt and limiting mistakes. He ended an uncharacteristic stretch of four consecutive games with an interception, though he did lose a fumble that led to a Cincinnati touchdown early in the second quarter. Other than that error, he had a positive performance, as he was able to push the ball down the field by tallying four completions of at least 20 yards -- only the second time he's reached that mark in his last nine games. While the performance was improved, Mahomes still has only one touchdown in four of his last five contests.

"This agreement will be an inextricable part of the Free Trade Agreement signed earlier by Kazakhstan, Russia and Iran. An official signing ceremony will be held in Moscow on February 12. The three countries' agriculture ministries will sign it," she noted.
She added that in the past three years Iran has restricted import of grain for it produces up to 12mln tonnes of this product annually and fully meets domestic demand.
"The countries neighboring Iran and located close to it consume up to 70% of the total export of grain and flour in the world. Correspondingly, we have a unique chance to jointly break into the third markets with Kazakhstani and Russian wheat," she stressed. | https://en.inform.kz/amp/kazakhstan-russia-to-ink-wheat-supply-agrt-with-iran_a3496436/ | 2024-01-01T02:53:29Z |

McLaurin recorded four catches on six targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers.
McLaurin was one of the few bright spots in the Washington offense, though his production came primarily on two plays on the same drive. He first caught a deep pass down the right sideline for 42 yards, and five plays later, he boxed out a 49ers defender to record a three-yard touchdown catch. McLaurin now has two scores in his last three games after recording only two touchdowns in the first 13 contests of the campaign.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — After thinking he lost his job as the Washington Commanders’ starting quarterback, Sam Howell was back on the field Sunday doing what he has been doing a lot of lately: throwing interceptions.
With Jacoby Brissett sidelined by a hamstring injury that popped up late in the week, Howell threw two more picks in a 27-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The second-year pro has thrown the most interceptions in the NFL this season with 19, and those mistakes continue to overshadow any of the progress he might have made.
Howell said he didn’t know until about two hours before the game that he would be playing. He finished 17 of 28 for 169 yards.
“I didn’t get much work in practice, but I’ve gotten work all season long,” Howell said. “I feel prepared even when I didn’t get the reps this week.”
Howell made some strong throws, but the interceptions were clearly on him. He was sacked for a league-leading 61st time, and it didn’t help when Washington (4-12) fell behind and was in obvious passing situations for much of the second half.
“Early on, when things were balanced, it was one of those things that the situation gave him the opportunity and he performed,” coach Ron Rivera said. “I thought he made some good decisions, threw some really good balls. Obviously there were a couple throws I promise you he would wished he had back, but he did a lot of good things.”
Rivera announced Wednesday the Commanders would be turning to Brissett after pulling Howell from each of the previous two games. Brissett’s hamstring was still tight, according to Rivera, leading to Howell getting the nod instead, with Jake Fromm elevated from the practice squad to back up.
With one game left against Dallas next weekend — one that could decide the NFC East between the Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles — Rivera was not yet ready to say who might start for Washington, which could pick as high as second in the draft.
It’s likely to be Rivera’s final game with the organization after four seasons, with new ownership poised to make major changes. But the veteran coach isn’t ready to give up on Howell having a future in the league.
“I still think he has that opportunity to be that guy,” Rivera said. “I believe he’s a guy that can be very, very good in this league. There’s some things he still has to grow on, obviously, and we can be better and help him, as well.”

Allgeier took five carries for 13 yards and caught his only target for a 75-yard touchdown during Sunday's 37-17 loss in Chicago.
Allgeier handled his fewest rushes in a game this season and fell below 3.0 yards per carry for the first time since Week 7, but he offset it by turning a screen pass from quarterback Taylor Heinicke into the longest play from scrimmage of his two-year career. The score also marked Allgeier's third in the last five contests to push him to a new career best of five TDs. Next up for Allgeier is the Saints' 21st-ranked run defense (122.5 yards per game) in Week 18.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Minutes after rolling to a 27-10 victory at Washington, the San Francisco 49ers watched the final minute of Philadelphia’s game at Arizona together in the visiting locker room.
A loud cheer erupted when the Eagles lost to Arizona in stunning fashion. After Brock Purdy threw two touchdown passes to bounce back from the worst game of his NFL career and results elsewhere fell their way, the Niners clinched the top seed in the NFC and the first-round bye and home-field advantage that comes with it.
“Thank you, Cardinals,” linebacker Fred Warner said. “Back in ’19, it took us winning in Seattle on the very last play of the game to secure the 1 seed, and the fact that we were able to get it with one game left in the season is big.”
Wrapping up the No. 1 seed before Week 18 could be a significant advantage for San Francisco (12-4) after losing Christian McCaffrey to a calf injury against the Commanders. The do-it-all running back left the game in the third quarter after gaining 91 scrimmage yards on 18 touches, and coach Kyle Shanahan thinks it could be a strained calf muscle.
“We think he’ll be all right,” Shanahan said. “I don’t know if he would’ve been able to go next week or not, but we’ll have to find out more (Monday). He was moving around all right on the sideline, so hoping it’s not too bad.”
The Niners got touchdown catches from Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk and a rushing TD from Elijah Mitchell. Purdy, coming off throwing four interceptions in a humbling home loss to Baltimore, was 22 of 28 for 230 yards to reach 4,280 and break Jeff Garcia’s season franchise record of 4,278 set in 2000.
“To be able to come back and get the ball moving, throw it around to the guys and obviously get the offense to flow again and feeling it, it felt good,” Purdy said.
The defense, also looking to atone for some struggles against the Ravens, intercepted Sam Howell twice — once each by Charvarius Ward and Deommodore Lenoir.
Washington (4-12) was not much of an obstacle for the conference’s top team, as Howell added to his NFL lead in interceptions with his 18th and 19th of the season. He was starting only because journeyman Jacoby Brissett was sidelined by a hamstring injury after coach Ron Rivera decided earlier in the week to bench Howell.
“I thought Sam had some really good moments,” Rivera said. “Obviously there were a couple throws I promise you he would wish he had back, but he did a lot of good things.”
The Commanders have lost seven in a row, and as a result of the Cardinals win, could be in line to draft as high as second. While they’re looking ahead to an offseason of change under new ownership, the Niners have their eyes set on a long playoff run.
“We’re going to continue to get better,” Warner said. “We’ve got to make sure we’re our best when our best is needed for when our moment comes.”
HOMECOMING DAY
Former Washington left tackle Trent Williams and edge rusher Chase Young each played his first game back at FedEx Field as a visitor. They walked out of the tunnel and onto the field together for warmups.
Williams was traded to the Niners in 2020 after sitting out the ’19 season because of a dispute with Washington’s front office. Young was sent to San Francisco on Oct. 31 amid reports the coaching staff found him undisciplined and considered his departure addition by subtraction.
Shanahan also spent four seasons as a Washington assistant from 2010-13, working as the offensive coordinator for his dad, Mike. Shanahan said he used to have emotions about facing Washington but that they’re gone now .
“It’s a totally different place here now and different people,” Shanahan said. “Nothing’s personal here anymore. Personal stuff’s gone.”
INJURIES
49ers: Played without injured DT Arik Armstead (foot, knee), S Ji’Ayir Brown (knee), TE Ross Dwelley (ankle), WR Jauan Jennings (concussion) and OT Jaylon Moore (concussion).
Commanders: CB Tarik Castro-Fields left in the first half with a shoulder injury. … CB Christian Holmes was concussed early in the fourth quarter. … RT Andrew Wylie (elbow) was out after being listed as questionable. Trent Scott had a rough, penalty-filled day starting in his place.
UP NEXT
49ers: Host the Los Angeles Rams on Jan. 6 or 7.
Commanders: Host the Dallas Cowboys on Jan. 6 or 7.

McDuffie is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.
McDuffie sustained the injury in the second quarter after taking a hit from teammate Lukas Van Ness on a tackling attempt. McDuffie started at inside linebacker in replacement of De'Vondre Campbell, who is inactive for the second straight game with a neck injury. Eric Wilson and Kristian Welch are candidates for more snaps at inside linebacker alongside starter Quay Walker for as long as McDuffie remains sidelined.

Chark recorded one catch (on six targets) for 18 yards during Sunday's 26-0 loss at Jacksonville.
It was a quiet follow-up to the six-catch, 98-yard, two-touchdown effort Chark put together last Sunday against the Packers. Despite tying fellow wide receiver Adam Thielen for the team lead in targets, Chark wasn't able to do much in a game in which quarterback Bryce Young threw for 112 yards on 32 attempts. Chark now will turn his focus to a Week 18 matchup with the Buccaneers. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/panthers-dj-chark-musters-one-catch-in-week-17/ | 2024-01-01T02:53:50Z |
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Sportsbook director Jay Kornegay is anticipating massive crowds at Westgate’s Las Vegas location this weekend and Monday to bet on the two College Football Playoff semifinal games.
Part of it is timing. Last season’s games were on New Year’s Eve; this season’s are on New Year’s Day.
The other part is the field. Michigan, ranked first by the CFP committee, faces No. 4 Alabama in the Rose Bowl and No. 2 Washington plays No. 3 Texas in the Sugar Bowl.
“We expect the handle to double, possibly triple, what we did last year mainly because the games are being played on New Year’s Day rather than New Year’s Eve,” said Kornegay, Westgate’s vice president of race and sports operations. “Certainly, the participants have huge fan bases.”
Kornegay said the betting increase not only will happen at the Las Vegas book, but at its locations throughout the country. Westgate has books in eight states besides Nevada.
“The volume level is going to be cranked up probably like we’ve never seen it before,” Kornegay said. “So we’re certainly looking for possible records during this year’s playoff games.”
TIDE ROLLS IN
Michigan opened as a 2 1/2-point favorite at Caesars Sportsbook, but the number was bet down to 1 1/2 as Alabama money rolled in. Caesars even moved the line to a pick ’em at one point with about 75% of the bets coming on the Tide.
But the book took a nearly $80,000 wager from a professional bettor on the Wolverines to push the line back to 1 1/2.
“So that tells me Michigan should be a slight favorite in this one,” said Joey Feazel, who heads college football betting for Caesars. “But the public is very heavy handed on the Crimson Tide.”
Westgate has had a similar experience. Michigan also opened as a 2 1/2-point favorite. It got bet down to a point after Tide action came in before the Wolverines moved to 2-point favorites.
“Just based off of history, we know that Alabama money is going to show up,” Kornegay said.
FanDuel Sportsbook, which lists Alabama as a 1 1/2-point underdog, has seen 81% of bets and the handle go on the Tide to win outright and 69% of bets and 75% of the money on them to cover the spread.
THE OTHER SEMI
The betting line for the Texas-Washington game hasn’t seen quite the swings. The Longhorns have typically been 4- or 4 1/2-point favorites.
But like the other semifinal, most of the action is on the underdog.
At FanDuel, 78% of bets and 64% of the handle are on Washington to win outright, and 69% of bets and 72% of money are on the Huskies — 4 1/2-point underdogs — to cover the spread.
GRADING THE FIELD
Feazel is grateful that undefeated Florida State didn’t make the playoff field. The Seminoles scraped by at the end of their season after quarterback Jordan Travis injured his leg Nov. 18.
“Without Jordan Travis, they were really a shell of what they once were,” Feazel said. “ I’d still say Georgia would be better than Texas or Washington if we were to put up a line in a hypothetical matchup. The same as Oregon would be favored over Texas and Washington as well, even though Washington beat them twice.”
That’s not to say he disagreed with how the playoff field was assembled.
“There are games you have to win in order to compete for championships,” Feazel said. “I wouldn’t fault the committee for making the decision in how they do the seeding.”
LOOKING AHEAD
Whichever team wins the Rose Bowl will be favored by FanDuel in the national championship Jan. 8 at Houston.
Michigan would be favored by seven points over Washington and by three over Texas. Alabama would be favored by 6 1/2 points over the Huskies and 2 1/2 over the Longhorns.

Bowden reeled in his only target for six yards during Sunday's 23-13 win versus the Buccaneers.
Bowden caught a pass for the fifth time in the last six games for the Saints. His one reception marked merely a minor bump in production after the 26-year-old failed to log a target during last week's loss to the Rams. He was also once again overshadowed by top slot receiver Rashid Shaheed, who was back in the fold for the third game in a row after missing time with a thigh injury. The latter wideout logged two receptions on three targets while also handling return duties on both punts and kickoffs. With Shaheed seemingly fully healthy, it's likely that Bowden will keep remain an afterthought in terms of fantasy relevance during the Week 18 matchup versus the Falcons.

Conor McGregor announced Sunday he’s returning to the octagon for a fight against Michael Chandler on June 29 in Las Vegas.
McGregor made the announcement in a video posted to one of his social media accounts.
A UFC spokesperson did not confirm or deny the fight. The 35-year-old McGregor, who hasn’t fought in the octagon since 2021, appeared to be at a restaurant drinking a glass of wine in the video. He said the bout would be in the middleweight (185-pound) class.
“Ladies and gentlemen, happy new year to you all,” McGregor says in the video. “I’d like to announce the return date for myself, the notorious Conor McGregor, the greatest comeback of all time, will take place in Las Vegas for International Fight Week.”
McGregor previously held UFC titles in the 145-pound and 155-pound classes. His last UFC match on July 10, 2021, was a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier after McGregor broke his leg.
McGregor and the 37-year-old Chandler have coached against each other on “The Ultimate Fighter” television series.
Chandler posted Sunday on social media in response to McGregor’s announcement.
“I always said I wanted you at your biggest, your baddest and your best,” Chandler wrote. “185 would look good on me.”

Smith-Njigba gathered in one of two passes for 12 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers.
The target count matched Smith-Njigba's second fewest in a game on the season, but he reached the end zone from 12 yards out to salvage his Week 17. Meanwhile, all of WRs DK Metcalf (eight) and Tyler Lockett (five), TE Noah Fant (six) and RB Zach Charbonnet (five) were targeted on at least five occasions. Smith-Njigba will aim to get back on track Week 18 on the road against a Cardinals defense that has given up the fifth-most yards per target (8.9) to opposing wide receivers on the campaign.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — CeeDee Lamb could only watch from the sideline in the final seconds of the best game of his career, hoping it would be enough for a 16th consecutive home victory for the Dallas Cowboys.
It was, because the Cowboys survived a 2-point conversion fest with Detroit going for the win.
The first of Dak Prescott’s two touchdown passes was a 92-yarder to Lamb, and Dallas stopped the third 2-point try from the Lions after they were penalized when they converted the first with 23 seconds remaining in the Cowboys’ 20-19 victory Saturday night.
On the first conversion try after Jared Goff’s 11-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown, Goff completed a pass to lineman Taylor Decker, but he was ruled to be an ineligible receiver.
The Lions went for 2 again from the 7-yard line and were stopped on an interception that didn’t even reach the end zone, but the Cowboys were called for offsides.
On the final attempt, Goff’s pass to James Mitchell short of the goal line was incomplete, finishing off the Dallas celebration of two-time Super Bowl-winning coach Jimmy Johnson’s induction into the team’s ring of honor at halftime.
“Very stressful,” said Lamb, who had a career-high 227 yards receiving. “But definitely I know my defense had us, and they held it down.”
Lamb’s touchdown was the second-longest pass in club history — behind the 95-yard connection in 1966 between two more ring of honor members in Don Meredith and Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver Bob Hayes.
The NFC North champion Lions (11-5) went for the victory after entering the game with hopes of getting one of the top two seeds in the NFC.
“I told the offense that we were going down, 1:41 left, we’re going to go down and score and then we’re going to go for 2 and finish this game off,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said. “I told them that, and so that’s what we’re doing.”
The playoff-bound Cowboys (11-5) have a shot at the NFC East title, but need division-leading Philadelphia to lose at least once in the final two weeks.
Dallas finished 8-0 at AT&T Stadium for its first perfect home record since the 1980 and ’81 seasons, when the Cowboys had a club-record 18-game winning streak at since-demolished Texas Stadium.
The Cowboys went ahead 17-13 on Brandin Cooks’ scoring catch from Prescott midway through the fourth quarter, and extended the lead to seven on Brandon Aubrey’s record 35th field goal without a miss to start his career.
Goff’s second interception set up Aubrey’s kick, but he led the Lions 75 yards in nine plays to St. Brown’s TD catch.
Goff said Decker, the starting left tackle, reported to officials and Dan Skipper, a backup offensive tackle, did not. Skipper said he didn’t report to an official. Two players can’t report to be eligible receivers on the same play.
“I don’t want to talk about it,” said Campbell, who was visibly angry with referee Brad Allen after the successful 2-point play was negated.
In a pool report, Allen said Skipper reported to him as eligible, but then lined up in a tackle spot that didn’t require him to report. Allen said Decker didn’t report, and that his conversation with Decker was about Skipper reporting.
Video showed Allen and Decker talking before Allen said something to the Dallas defense.
“That conversation is where (Skipper) reports to me, and I then go to the defensive team, and I say to them ‘(Skipper) has reported as an eligible receiver,’ so they will be aware of who has reported,” Allen said in the pool report.
Goff finished 19 for 34 for 271 yards with a TD and two interceptions, and David Montgomery had a scoring run.
“It’s unfortunate, man,” Goff said. “I don’t know if I’ve had this feeling before where you feel like you won and then you didn’t.”
Prescott finished 26 for 38 for 345 yards with an interception.
Lamb broke two of receiver Michael Irvin’s single-season club records from 1995 while also setting career highs with 13 catches in his first 200-yard game.
The third catch broke Irvin’s mark of 111, although it ended up being a turnover when he fumbled into the end zone out of bounds when Dallas was on the verge of a 14-3 lead.
Lamb has temporary taken the NFL receiving yardage lead with 1,651 yards, 10 more than Miami’s Tyreek Hill, who plays Sunday. Irvin had 1,603 yards in 1995.
“I really don’t know where to start,” Lamb said. “Shout out to the defense for bailing us out. I told y’all I’d enjoy it more if we won, and we did.”
Irvin was there to see every catch and yard. He and his fellow Hall of Fame “Triplets” from the 1990s Super Bowl winners — quarterback Troy Aikman and running back Emmitt Smith — greeted Johnson as their former coach joined them in the ring of honor during a halftime ceremony.
Dallas was trailing 3-0 and facing third-and-13 from its 8-yard line in the first quarter when Detroit linebacker Derrick Barnes ran right by Prescott with a chance to sack him just inside the goal line. Cornerback Kindle Vildor fell just as Prescott was throwing deep to a sprinting Lamb, who caught the ball near midfield and cruised to the end zone.
UP NEXT
The teams will play their final regular-season games next Saturday or Sunday.
Lions: Host Minnesota.
Cowboys: At Washington.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — An 18-year-old suspect has been charged with killing an off-duty police officer who witnessed a crime at a North Carolina gas station, authorities said.
Jamere Justice Foster, 18, was charged with felony first-degree murder, misdemeanor larceny and conspiracy to commit larceny following the death of Greensboro Police Sgt. Philip Dale Nix.
Police said Foster stole $83.45 worth of beer from a Sheetz gas station in Colfax on Saturday, Dec. 30, and Nix was shot while trying to confront the suspect.
Another off-duty Greensboro officer and a Guilford County paramedic immediately rendered aid, but Nix died at a local medical facility.
“He was a loving husband, father, son and brother with 22 years of service to the department and this community,” said Greensboro Police Chief John Thompson during a press conference. “We ask for prayers for the family of the fallen officer and our Greensboro PD family.”
Two other people are also facing charges in connection with the incident.
John Walter Morrison, 28, was charged with misdemeanor larceny, conspiracy and felony accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. Zquriah Lepearce Blackwell, 18, was charged with felony accessory after the fact to first-degree murder.
An arrest warrant alleges Blackwell knowingly assisted in Foster’s attempted escape and told him that “they needed to get out of there because he just killed a cop.” Police said Blackwell joined Foster to sell stolen merchandise and talked about destroying evidence, including a gun used in the homicide and a registration plate of the suspects’ vehicle.
Foster and Morrison are being held without bond, while Blackwell is being held on a $500,000 bond. All three suspects are from Winston-Salem.
Police said more charges could come as the investigation continues and that the Winston-Salem Police Department assisted in making the arrests.
Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan called the shooting a “senseless act of violence.”
“I am angry, and I am sad,” she said. “I think those are feelings that are felt throughout this department and throughout this city.”
Police said Nix had many roles during his time with department, including Criminal Investigations Division Detective, Patrol Corporal, Patrol Sergeant, and his most current assignment was as Supervisor of the Family Victims Unit.
He was also the assistant team leader of the Greensboro Police Department’s Honor Guard. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/18-year-old-charged-with-killing-officer-who-witnessed-crime-at-north-carolina-gas-station/ | 2024-01-01T02:54:08Z |
Harris rushed the ball 27 times for 122 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Seahawks.
Pittsburgh's offense was focused on the ground game, as the team attempted 46 rushes as opposed to only 24 passes. As a result, Harris saw a season-high 27 carries, and he also surpassed 100 yards for the first time in the campaign. Harris added to his big day by finding the end zone twice -- first on a nine-yard carry and then from four yards out -- and he now has three touchdowns across the last two games with Mason Rudolph under center. In that same two-game span, he's managed a total of 200 rushing yards, with the only downside to his performances being a total lack of involvement as a pass catcher.

PERTH, Australia (AP) — Making a triumphant return to Perth after a decade, Novak Djokovic led Serbia to a 2-1 win over China at the United Cup on Sunday.
Djokovic, playing in the western Australia city for the first time since the 2013 Hopman Cup, beat Zhang Zhizhen 6-3, 6-2 and then teamed up with Olga Danilovic to clinch the decisive mixed doubles 6-4, 1-6, 10-6 against Zheng Quinwen and Zhang in the Group E match.
Zheng, who beat reigning Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova in her opening United Cup match, had leveled the match 1-1 when she outplayed Danilovic 6-4, 6-2.
Djokovic needed just 74 minutes to beat Zhang as he converted three of the seven break points.
“It’s great to be back in Perth,” Djokovic said afterward. “New Year’s in a few hours so I really appreciate you coming to hopefully celebrate New Year’s Eve with us here on the court. It’s been 10 years since I’ve been in Perth, and this arena is definitely one of the nicest, from inside and outside, that I’ve played in.”
Djokovic said he felt a bit rusty early against Zhang and a “little bit out of rhythm” because of not playing a match for over a month.
“It obviously takes a little bit of time to get the engines going and he was serving well,” he said. “I think the serve was great on my part, whenever I needed to get myself out of trouble, at 15-15 or 30-30 in my service games, I found a good serve.”
China routed Czech Republic in its first match 3-0, but after Sunday’s win Serbia is also in with a chance to advance.
Earlier, former U.S. Open finalist Leylah Fernandez led Canada to a 2-1 victory over Chile in Sydney in its tournament’s opening match.
Fernandez defeated Daniela Seguel 6-3, 6-2 before Nicolas Jarry leveled the Group B tie for Chile by beating Steven Diez in straight sets in Sydney.
Diez had replaced Felix Auger-Aliassime who was rested with a minor knee issue.
Fernandez and Diez then clinched the deciding mixed doubles against Seguel and Tomás Barrios Vera 7-5, 4-6, 10-8 to seal the tie for the Canadians.
“I’m extremely happy with the way I played,” Fernandez said after her win over Seguel. “It wasn’t the greatest match because it is my first match of the season, the nerves, but I’m extremely happy with the way that I was able to manage it.”
In Perth, Great Britain’s Katie Boulter stunned fifth-ranked Jessica Pegula of the United States in Group C, rallying from a set down to win 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.
The Americans drew level when Taylor Fritz defeated Cameron Norrie 7-6 (5), 6-4 to force a deciding mixed doubles match.
Pegula and Fritz then combined for victory over Boulter and Neal Skupski 1-6, 7-6 (4), 10-7 that sealed the tie, 2-1, for the defending champions.
The Americans will qualify for the quarterfinals if they win their final match against Australia. All three teams still have a chance of qualifying if Australia beats the U.S. in the last group match.
Mixed teams from 18 countries are playing in Perth and Sydney in what doubles as a warmup for the Australian Open. The format is a men’s and women’s singles and a mixed doubles.

(The Hill) — Taylor Swift and Beyoncé set the music world on fire in 2023 with massive, globe-spanning tours, and their influence seeped into the world of politics as lawmakers and other political figures named-checked them.
Here are a few of the most noteworthy moments in which the worlds of politics and pop culture converged over the last year.
Jason Aldean and “Try That in a Small Town”

Country singer Jason Aldean’s song “Try That in a Small Town” topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in July despite heavy controversy.
The song faced backlash for both its lyrics, which include lines like, “Cuss out a cop, spit in his face, Stomp on the flag and light it up, Yeah, ya think you’re tough, Well, try that in a small town, See how far ya make it down the road,” and its music video.
The video was filmed in front of a Tennessee courthouse where a Black man was lynched in the 1920s. Country Music Television (CMT) pulled the music video, drawing a negative reaction from Aldean himself on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous,” Aldean said.
Republicans like former President Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) came to Aldean’s defense amid the controversy.
“Jason Aldean is a fantastic guy who just came out with a great new song. Support Jason all the way. MAGA!!!” Trump posted on his Truth Social account.
Beyoncé gets honored on the House floor

The “Formation” singer, who has had a packed year with “The Renaissance World Tour” and the release of a film of that tour, was honored in March on the House floor by Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif).
“I rise today to commemorate the end of Black History Month and the beginning of Women’s History Month by honoring an individual who represents both so well,” Garcia said.
“She’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she’s now and forever the moment,” he added.
Garcia also referred to the “Alien Superstar” herself as a role model who “stood up for voting rights, for feminism, for women and girls, for my community — the LGBTQ+ community.”
“For my generation and so many others, she simply is the greatest of all time,” he continued.

RuPaul helps present the Emmy for outstanding limited or anthology series at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, Sept. 12, 2022, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
The self-proclaimed “queen of drag” had some thoughts on recent anti-drag show legislation that he shared back in March.
In a video on Instagram, the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” host said that bills aimed at drag performances were a tactic to distract from more important issues.
“Hey, look over there! A classic distraction technique — distracting us away from the real issues that they were voted into office to focus on: jobs, health care, keeping our children safe from harm at their own school,” RuPaul said.
“But we know that bullies are incompetent at solving real issues,” the host continued.
“They look for easy targets so they can give the impression of being effective,” he said.
Dylan Mulvaney and the Bud Light backlash

Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney partnered with Anheuser-Busch in April for an advertisement that included her posing with a personalized Bud Light can, which drew negative reactions from conservatives.
Critics called for protests against Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch, while Anheuser-Busch also faced criticism from those who thought it did not fully support Mulvaney.
Singer Kid Rock shot multiple cases of Bud Light with what appeared to be a semi-automatic rifle in an Instagram video.
“F— Bud Light and f— Anheuser-Busch,” he said in the video.
“I’ve been offline for a few weeks, and a lot has been said about me,” Mulvaney said in a video on Instagram and TikTok a few weeks after the backlash. “It was so loud that I didn’t even feel part of the conversation. So, I decided to take the back seat and let them tucker themselves out.”
“But then I remembered that nearly 13 million people at some point enjoyed me enough to hit the follow button on these apps. And I was like wait, wait, wait, I want to talk to those people,” Mulvaney added.

In August, rapper Eminem asked entrepreneur and 2024 GOP presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to stop using his music on the campaign trail through his music licensor, Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI).
The letter from BMI revealed that Ramaswamy’s campaign and BMI had a previous music licensing agreement for the Detroit rapper’s music and came after Ramaswamy sang along to “Lose Yourself” at the Iowa State Fair earlier in August.
“To the American people’s chagrin, we will have to leave the rapping to the real slim shady,” a Ramaswamy campaign statement said.

This year was the year of Taylor Swift, quite literally, as she was recently named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year.”
In a recent NBC News poll, the pop sensation topped a list of celebrities when it comes to net favorability, besting political figures including President Biden, Vice President Harris, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Trump.
Forty percent of registered voters in the poll said that they have a positive view of the millennial icon.

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian, alongside Eric Esrailian, a physician and producer, urged the president to “stop the Armenian genocide” in a September Rolling Stone opinion piece.
“We are Armenian,” the piece read. “We are the descendants of Armenian Genocide survivors, and we do not want to be talking about the recognition or commemoration of yet another genocide in the future.”
Esrailian and Kardashian characterized Azerbaijan’s government as using “starvation as a weapon against the Armenian population” via blockading “the only lifeline between the indigenous Christian Armenians of Artsakh (also known as Nagorno-Karabakh) and the rest of the world.”
“Blocking human rights groups, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the hateful rhetoric accompanying the blockade are signs of genocidal intent,” the piece said.

In June, Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) attended a concert for the pop-rock band Paramore and had a few choice words for his state’s governor, Ron DeSantis (R).
While at the concert in Washington, D.C., Frost was caught on video on stage yelling “f— Ron DeSantis” and “f— facism.”
He later retweeted the video, saying that he “said what I said.”
When Frost came on stage, the band’s lead singer, Hayley Williams, lauded the young House member, who is the first member of his generation in Congress.
“Do you see this? Do you see the future right here?” Williams said.
Jimmy Kimmel pranks ex-Rep. Santos
Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) holds a press conference in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, November 30, 2023.
Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel decided to have a bit of fun with embattled former House member Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) after his ouster.
Santos started selling personal videos on the platform Cameo after he was expelled from the House earlier this month. Kimmel told his show audience that he had ordered videos with prank scripts for Santos to read.
“George please congratulate my friend Gary Fortuna for winning the Clearwater Florida beef eating contest. He ate over six pounds of ground beef in under 30 minutes – which was a new record!” Kimmel wrote in one prank script. “He’s not feeling great right now, but the doctor thinks he will be released from the hospital soon. Please wish him a speedy recovery!”
Santos responded to the prompt in the Cameo video.
“I know you’re feeling a little under the weather, but I hear from a great source that the doctors said you’ll be released from the hospital soon and recover well,” Santos said in a video. “Look, have a speedy recovery, and then enjoy the festivities of the end of the year. Bye.”
Maren Morris says she’s leaving country music

Singer Maren Morris announced in September she would step out of the country genre as a result of the “the Trump years” and their effect on the style of music.
“After the Trump years, people’s biases were on full display,” Morris said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “It just revealed who people really were and that they were proud to be misogynistic and racist and homophobic and transphobic.”
Morris also referenced “Try That in a Small Town” and its popularity with conservatives, saying, “People are streaming these songs out of spite.”
“It’s not out of true joy or love of the music. It’s to own the libs. And that’s so not what music is intended for. Music is supposed to be the voice of the oppressed — the actual oppressed. And now it’s being used as this really toxic weapon in culture wars,” Morris said.
Trump isn’t pleased with Rihanna’s Super Bowl performance

To the excitement of many, superstar and business magnate Rihanna performed at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show.
Former President Trump, who had feuded with the pop star, wasn’t a fan of the “Rude Boy” singer’s performance.
“EPIC FAIL: Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst Halftime Show in Super Bowl history — This after insulting far more than half of our Nation, which is already in serious DECLINE, with her foul and insulting language,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Also, so much for her ‘Stylist!’” he added.
Trump seemed to reference the “Work” singer’s act of spraypainting a car with the words “F**k Trump” back in 2020. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) had pointed the incident out earlier in the week on Truth Social.
“Why is the NFL showcasing this crap? Rihanna SHOULD NOT be the halftime performer!!” Jackson wrote.
Paris Hilton’s advocacy work
Paris Hilton is seen in front of the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, April 27, 2023.
Reality television star Paris Hilton made a visit to Capitol Hill in April to push for a bill to regulate “troubled teen” facilities.
Hilton was joined by Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) and Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) at the Capitol, where they discussed the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act. The bill has the aim of creating federal data collection and reporting standards for the aforementioned facilities, which Hilton said she was a victim of.
“I witnessed and experienced sexual abuse from adult staff as well as endured verbal and emotional abuse daily. I was yelled at, dehumanized, silenced and stripped of any semblance of privacy,” she said.
“When I attempted to tell my parents about the abuse on the phone, staff would stop and immediately hang up the phone and punish me. On top of this, you had no access to the outside doors, no sunlight, no fresh air. These were considered privileges. What I went through will haunt me for the rest of my life.”
Kevin Spacey and Tucker Carlson

Actor Kevin Spacey decided to make an appearance as his character Frank Underwood from the show “House of Cards” in a recent interview on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, with ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The two men discussed their ousters from Netflix and Fox News, as well as the current political environment.
“It is bizarre that they decided to publicly cut ties with me on allegations alone; allegations that have now been proven false because I don’t think there’s any question: Netflix exists because of me,” Spacey said. “I put them on the map. And they tried to put me on the ground.”
Spacey was kicked off the show in 2017 in the wake of facing multiple sexual harassment allegations, even from “House of Cards” crew members.
Judy Blume slams DeSantis

Author Judy Blume slammed the Florida governor over book bans.
“Teachers are under fire, librarians are threatened,” Blume said at Variety‘s “Power of Women” luncheon in April. “They are criminalizing teachers and librarians. It’s not just that they’re threatening their jobs, they’re threatening them.”
“They could go to jail, all because they stand up for the rights of the students they teach. All because they refuse to give in to fear,” Blume continued. “I’ve known librarians who have saved lives by handing the right book to the right child at the right time. And for that one kid, finding themselves in a book can be a lifesaver.”
The author also referred to DeSantis as “a governor who wants to control everything, starting with what kids can think, what they can know, what they can question, what they can learn, and now even what they can talk about.” | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/2023s-top-political-celebrity-moments-2/ | 2024-01-01T02:54:14Z |
Schultz recorded two receptions on four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.
Schultz dominated opportunity for the Texans in Week 16, but he saw his involvement dip in Sunday's win over the Titans. Nico Collins unsurprisingly led the team with eight targets, though Schultz's lack of involvement was concerning in light of the absences of both Robert Woods (hip) and Noah Brown (hip) for significant portions of the game. Fellow tight end Brevin Jordan was also targeted twice and caught the only passing touchdown of the game for Houston, suggesting Schultz's role is likely to remain volatile heading into Week 18 and any potential postseason run. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/texans-dalton-schultz-limited-to-19-yards/ | 2024-01-01T02:54:14Z |
ELDORET, Kenya (AP) — Police in Kenya are investigating the slaying of three-time Ugandan Olympian Benjamin Kiplagat, whose body was found with stab wounds inside his brother’s car on Sunday morning, a local official said.
Kiplagat had been driving the car before his body was discovered in the vehicle on the outskirts of Eldoret, a town located 312 kilometers (163 miles) west of Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, according to Stephen Okal, police commander from the nearby Moiben area.
“This was murder, but we do not know the motive for now,” Okal said.
As a long-distance runner, Kiplagat specialized in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. He represented Uganda in six World Athletics Championships and at the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics.
He reached the semi-finals of the 2012 London Olympics.
Athletics Kenya official Barnabas Korir mourned the athlete’s death.
“We urge the police to speed up investigations and … book his killers,” Korir said. | https://whnt.com/sports/ap-sports/ap-former-ugandan-steeplechase-olympian-benjamin-kiplagat-found-fatally-stabbed-in-kenya/ | 2024-01-01T02:54:17Z |

Taylor Swift and Beyoncé set the music world on fire in 2023 with massive, globe-spanning tours, and their influence seeped into the world of politics as lawmakers and other political figures named-checked them.
Here are a few of the most noteworthy moments in which the worlds of politics and pop culture converged over the last year.
Jason Aldean and “Try That in a Small Town”

Country singer Jason Aldean’s song “Try That in a Small Town” topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in July despite heavy controversy.
The song faced backlash for both its lyrics, which include lines like, “Cuss out a cop, spit in his face, Stomp on the flag and light it up, Yeah, ya think you’re tough, Well, try that in a small town, See how far ya make it down the road,” and its music video.
The video was filmed in front of a Tennessee courthouse where a Black man was lynched in the 1920s. Country Music Television (CMT) pulled the music video, drawing a negative reaction from Aldean himself on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous,” Aldean said.
Republicans like former President Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) came to Aldean’s defense amid the controversy.
“Jason Aldean is a fantastic guy who just came out with a great new song. Support Jason all the way. MAGA!!!” Trump posted on his Truth Social account.
Beyoncé gets honored on the House floor

The “Formation” singer, who has had a packed year with “The Renaissance World Tour” and the release of a film of that tour, was honored in March on the House floor by Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif).
“I rise today to commemorate the end of Black History Month and the beginning of Women’s History Month by honoring an individual who represents both so well,” Garcia said.
“She’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she’s now and forever the moment,” he added.
Garcia also referred to the “Alien Superstar” herself as a role model who “stood up for voting rights, for feminism, for women and girls, for my community — the LGBTQ+ community.”
“For my generation and so many others, she simply is the greatest of all time,” he continued.

Author Judy Blume slammed the Florida governor over book bans.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have grown accustomed to wrapping up the AFC West by the middle of December.
Turns out they’re perfectly fine with clinching it on New Year’s Eve.
Amid an up-and-down season in which the Chiefs have been forced to rely on their defense while their high-profile offense sputtered, Patrick Mahomes and Co. still managed to clinch their eighth consecutive division championship Sunday with a come-from-behind 25-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals — their opponent in each of the past two AFC title games.
Harrison Butker was a career-best 6 for 6 on field-goal attempts, Mahomes had 245 yards passing and a touchdown, and Isiah Pacheco ran for a career-best 130 yards to help Kansas City (10-6) secure the No. 3 seed for the playoffs.
“Obviously, we’re not winning this in Week 12 or Week 13 like before. We had to battle through adversity and find a way to win,” said Mahomes, who went over 4,000 yards passing for his sixth consecutive year as the starter. “Now you’re in the playoffs, it’s one game, single elimination, and I think we can play with anybody.”
The Bengals (8-8), fighting to avoid postseason elimination, led by 10 early but found themselves trailing 25-17 when Butker hit the last of his field goals — a 46-yarder through blustery wind — with 2:59 remaining in the game.
Four of Butker’s six field goals were from at least 43 yards, including his 54-yarder in the first half.
With one last chance, Bengals quarterback Jake Browning hit Tyler Boyd over the middle to convert a long fourth down and get them into Kansas City territory. But back-to-back sacks by George Karlaftis and Chris Jones ultimately dashed their hopes.
Browning finished with 197 yards passing and a touchdown. Joe Mixon ran for 65 yards and had the TD reception.
“Every guy left it all on the field,” Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor said. “It was an emotional game. Physical game. All the things we knew would happen, happened. You have to give Kansas City credit. They got it done down the stretch.”
The Bengals and Chiefs are accustomed to playing high-stakes games when the weather turns frigid, meeting for down-to-the-wire nail-biters in each of the past two AFC championship games. And they are usually accompanied by plenty of trash talk, be it from fans, elected officials or — in the case this past week — players such as Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.
The animosity usually spills onto the field, too. Midway through the second quarter, Chase and Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed got into a heated argument, and eventually a team-wide scrum resulted in offsetting personal foul penalties.
“I just be under people’s skin sometimes, I guess,” Chase said afterward. “Just trash talking. (He) can’t handle it.”
The Bengals jumped ahead 10-7 when an 8 1/2-minute drive resulted in a field goal and a 6 1/2-minute march ended in Mixon’s touchdown catch. Cincinnati then got the ball back when Trey Hendrickson ran right around rookie right tackle Wanya Morris, stripped Mahomes from behind and Sam Hubbard was there to pounce on the loose ball.
Pass interference on Sneed in the end zone set up Browning’s 1-yard TD run.
“It wasn’t the smoothest early,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.
Butker’s first field goal got the Chiefs within 17-10, though, and they had a chance to take the lead when Mahomes saw Marquez Valdes-Scantling wide open on their next possession. But yet another dropped pass — the NFL-leading 40th by Kansas City this season — forced the Chiefs to settle for another field goal to trail 17-13 at the break.
But as the Chiefs’ defense stiffened in the second half, their offense began showing signs of life.
They stuffed the Bengals on fourth-and-1 at the Kansas City 6, then drove 82 yards for Butker’s third field goal. And when the Bengals had to punt again, Mahomes hit Rashee Rice for 67 yards to set up Butker’s chip shot and give the Chiefs the lead. Two more field goals gave them some breathing room in the closing minutes.
“Everybody contributed in this, which I think was great. Nobody gave up hope,” said Reid, whose ninth consecutive 10-win season moved him past the 49ers’ George Seifert for the second-longest such streak in NFL history. “The guys executed well, and that is the most important thing right now, at this time of year.”
INJURIES
Cincinnati WR Tee Higgins left in the second quarter with a hamstring injury. He returned to the game but didn’t have another catch, finishing with one for 19 yards.
Kansas City WR Justin Watson hurt his chest in the third quarter but returned to the game. The Chiefs are thin at wide receiver with Skyy Moore on injured reserve and Kadarius Toney inactive due to a hip injury.

(iSeeCars) – If you’re currently leasing a car and nearing the end of your lease term, you might be wondering what you should do next. Although new car inventory is rebounding, some new cars are selling above MSRP and car leases are also significantly more expensive than they were pre-pandemic. And while used car prices continue to fall, they are also more expensive than they were before the pandemic.
In light of the current new and used car market, buying out your car lease might be your smartest option. How does the process work and should you buy out your car lease? We have the important answers.
How a Lease Buyout Works
If you’re leasing a vehicle, most finance companies will include a buyout option as part of your lease agreement. Your auto lease contract will state the end-of-lease purchase price based on the car’s residual value, which was estimated when you signed your lease. Leasing companies will often contact you near the end of your lease term to communicate your lease-end options, which will include either the buyout option or returning the vehicle to the dealership.
Residual Value in Today’s Market
Dealers calculate a vehicle’s residual value based on its projected depreciation, and this value is locked in at the beginning of a car’s lease. And if the start of your lease was before the current supply chain issues, your car’s lease buyout price might be well-below current market value. That means that at the end of the lease contract you could purchase your leased vehicle and either sell it for a profit, or you can continue driving your lightly used car at a price well below market value.
Understanding the Value of Your Leased Car
Here’s how you can compare the vehicle’s residual value or buyout amount with its market price. To calculate the market value of the vehicle, you can use pricing tools like the iSeeCars free VIN Check, Kelley Blue Book, or Edmunds. Be sure to check your original contract for extra fees like a purchase option fee to determine the total amount you will be paying for the vehicle.
And be extra vigilant about dealer or finance company “add on” fees that were not specifically called out in your lease contract.
Leased Car Buyout Price: Other Factors to Consider
There are many factors that contribute to the buyout price of your car. This includes the vehicle’s make, model, residual value, and current value. The amount you paid for a down payment will also affect the buyout price.
Additional fees include:
- Buyout Fee/Purchase Option Charge: The leasing company will charge you for opting to buy the car rather than turning it in.
- State sales tax
- Registration fees
Can I Finance My Lease Buyout?
You can finance your lease buyout just as you would a regular used car purchase. The dealership will be eager to offer you financing, but you should also examine outside financing options as you would for a typical car loan. That means comparing interest rates from other lenders including banks and credit unions to see who will give you the best rate on your car lease buyout loan. Some lenders even offer auto loans specifically for lease buyouts. Keep in mind that the shorter your loan term, the more you will save on interest payments, but your monthly payments will be higher. That means you should opt for the shortest loan term you can afford. Also, your credit score will determine your loan rate, so make sure it is in good standing in order to get a competitive rate. If you have a poor credit score, you should consider having a co-signer.
Other Things to Consider
Anyone who has leased a car knows about the extra fees that often come at the end of the car lease. These fees include going over the mileage limits or any excess wear and tear your vehicle may have like scratches or dents. Buying out your lease will get you off the hook for these fees, so if either situation exists with your lease it is yet another reason to buy your car when the lease ends versus returning it.
Some lease agreements offer early lease buyouts which allow you to buy the vehicle before your term expires. Make sure you refer to your leasing agreement to see if you will have to pay extra fees for an early buyout. If there are fees involved, it’s likely a smarter decision to wait until the end of your lease.
Bottom Line
Buying out your vehicle lease can be a lucrative way to save on a lightly-used vehicle in today’s market. You’ll also avoid the low inventory and markups on new cars. What’s more, you can enjoy the savings that come along with buying a used car in today’s market while avoiding the guesswork about how the car was driven and maintained by its previous owner. You can even sell your vehicle to a private seller for a profit if you don’t want to keep driving it. So if you are nearing the end of your lease, you should at least consider purchasing your vehicle instead of taking out another lease or buying a new or used car to replace it.

Bolduc scored a goal on his lone shot in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Penguins.
Bolduc scored the Islanders' only tally midway through the third period Sunday, firing a loose puck past Alex Nedeljkovic for his first goal of the season. The 23-year-old blueliner doesn't offer much offensively (he now has three points through 26 games), though he should see regular playing time while Adam Pelech (upper body) and Ryan Pulock (lower body) are sidelined. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/islanders-samuel-bolduc-nets-first-goal-of-season/ | 2024-01-01T02:54:26Z |

Granite Peak looks to build off colder weather ahead
Granite Peak was closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day due to the warm weather. But since then -- temperatures have been dropping -- which has helped improve the conditions out on the slopes.
WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAW) - Mother Nature hasn’t quite played by the rules for ski resorts like Granite Peak but the colder weather means more opportunities for snowmaking. Granite Peak was closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day due to the warm weather. Since then -- those temperatures have been dropping -- which has helped improve the conditions out on the slopes and brought out skiers.
With 60% of the terrain being open – the crowd turnout has been good so far at the resort.
“We’ve seen really good crowds. Today and yesterday were right on par with where we are around New Year’s every year,” said Granite Peak General Manager Greg Fisher.
The slopes have even brought in visitors from Illinois like one group who were happy to keep their fourth annual trip to Granite Peak alive.
“Granite Peak does a wonderful job of maintaining their mountain and taking care of us, and we can ski all we want. The hospitality is fantastic,” said Chris Warner of Rantoul, Illinois.
The group says making the trek to Granite Peak is always worth it because of how much the resort has to offer for everyone.
“It’s a family affair. you can do it with your family, whether you’re older, whether you’re younger, just bring them up here,” said Kim Devriese of Champaign, Illinois.
Many were eager for the cold weather ahead.
“I’m really excited because a couple weeks ago, I didn’t even know if we were gonna ski at all this year,” said Gordon Diederich of Whitefish Bay.
“I’m excited that there’s gonna be more snow, less ice,” said Henry Diederich of Whitefish Bay.
Fisher says they are excited for the colder weather ahead – and they are hoping to have all the runs open by the end of January.

Chief Justice Roberts casts a wary eye on the uses of artificial intelligence in the federal courts
WASHINGTON (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts on Sunday turned his focus to the promise, and shortcomings, of artificial intelligence in the federal courts, in an annual report that made no mention of Supreme Court ethics or legal controversies involving Donald Trump.
Describing artificial intelligence as the “latest technological frontier,” Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks come just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records, in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
“Always a bad idea,” Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that “any use of AI requires caution and humility.”
At the same time, though, the chief justice acknowledged that AI can make it much easier for people without much money to access the courts. “These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system,” Roberts wrote.
The report came at the end of a year in which a series of stories questioned the ethical practices of the justices and the court responded to critics by adopting its first code of conduct. Many of those stories focused on Justice Clarence Thomas and his failure to disclose travel, other hospitality and additional financial ties with wealthy conservative donors including Harlan Crow and the Koch brothers. But Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also have been under scrutiny.
The country also is entering an the beginning of an election year that seems likely to enmesh the court in some way in the ongoing criminal cases against Trump and efforts to keep the Republican former president off the 2024 ballot.
Along with his eight colleagues, Roberts almost never discusses cases that are before the Supreme Court or seem likely to get there. In past reports, he has advocated for enhanced security and salary increases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts.
Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes, but don’t make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won’t soon replace judges.
At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determines “whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment,” Roberts wrote.
Looking ahead warily to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: “I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI.”

Twitter backer knocks billions off its value after Musk’s outburst
By James Warrington
An investor in X, formerly called Twitter, has written down the value of its stake by $US2.85 billion ($4.2 billion) after its owner Elon Musk told boycotting advertisers to “go f--- yourself”.
Fidelity, which helped Musk buy the company for $US44 billion ($65 billion) in 2022, now believes it is worth 71.5 per cent less than at the time of purchase.
The US investment giant had already slashed the value of its investment by 65 per cent at the end of October but deepened the discount in November. It came in the same month that Musk launched a tirade against advertisers.
Speaking at a New York Times conference, Musk claimed a boycott by advertisers was going to “kill” the company, adding, “If somebody is going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go f--- yourself.”
Apple, IBM and Disney are among the major brands to cut ties with the social media platform, amid concerns about lax moderation under Musk and the billionaire’s freewheeling personal style.
Fidelity’s valuation cut, which was first reported by Axios, gives the company a notional value of just $US12.5 billion and suggests X has lost $US2.85 billion of worth in the eyes of Fidelity in just four weeks.
The investment group, which contributed more than $US300 million to Musk’s takeover, does not disclose how it values privately held companies. Other shareholders may value their stakes differently.
However, X’s own internal share plan for staff valued the company at just $US19 billion in October – less than half the sum Musk paid for it.
X has undergone a turbulent period under the ownership of the Tesla billionaire. The debt-fuelled takeover has left the company struggling to break even and Musk has slashed thousands of jobs and introduced subscription fees in response.
Worsening the debt crisis is the reluctance of advertisers to work with the platform since the takeover.
X is believed to have lost 60 per cent of its advertisers after the takeover amid concerns brands were appearing alongside harmful material.
The European Commission has opened an investigation into the company over its alleged role in disseminating propaganda relating to terrorist group Hamas.
Musk has also been accused of personally promoting antisemitic and racist conspiracy theories, although he has insisted he is against antisemitism of any kind.
Linda Yaccarino, who replaced Musk as chief executive in June, has been scrambling to revive revenue and has staged a charm offensive with advertisers in a bid to win back trust.

DETROIT (AP) — Trent Frederic scored twice, Charlie Coyle had the go-ahead goal and the Boston Bruins beat the Detroit Red Wings 5-3 on Sunday.
Boston forward Pavel Zacha scored an empty-net goal in his 500th regular-season game.
Jake DeBrusk also added an empty-netter and Charlie McAvoy had two assists for the Bruins, who have won three straight. Jeremy Swayman made 25 saves.
Boston beat New Jersey at home Saturday night.
“We have a tough travel with a 5 o'clock game, but we had really good energy and it was nice to pull that one off,” Frederic said. “Call it a little bit of a gutsy win.”
Jake Walman scored his third goal in two games for Detroit. Ben Chiarot and J.T. Compher had the Red Wings' other goals, and Alex Lyon stopped 23 shots.
“We did some quality things tonight,” Detroit coach Derek Lalonde said. “You look back, we easily could have won that game. Probably our most complete 60 minutes from start to finish in a while. It just came against a team with a very slim margin of error to be successful.”
The Atlantic Division opponents split their four-game season series.
Frederic scored his first goal of the game with 51.8 seconds left in the first period. David Pastrnak flicked the puck out of his own zone as Frederic got behind Detroit's defenders. Frederic backhanded the puck over Lyon's left shoulder.
“Pasta hit a nice little 60-degree wedge shot to me, and I was a little slow, so all I had was the backhand,” Frederic said. “I was lucky to get that over his shoulder.”
Frederic crashed into Lyon, who was checked out by the team's trainer but remained in the game.
Frederic's second goal and ninth of the season came at 4:25 of the second. He skated in along the right boards and wristed a shot that whistled through Lyon's pads.
“I think he’s playing faster," Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said. ”He’s underrated as to how great a skater he is, and now he’s going north consistently instead of delaying, which he did a lot. He’s opening up space for himself and he’s got great hands."
Walman notched his ninth goal this season at 13:01. He lifted a shot from the left circle over Swayman's shoulder.
Chiarot scored his third goal later in the period from the slot to tie it at 2. Boston's challenge of goalie interference was denied.
Boston regained the lead at 3:52 of the third. McAvoy passed the puck to Coyle, who scored his 13th goal from the slot.
DeBrusk's empty-netter came with 2:01 remaining. Following a Boston penalty, Compher scored on a rebound with 1:22 left.
Detroit had gone 0 for 5 on the power play before Compher's goal.
“I thought we had chances,” Compher said. “It wasn’t perfect tonight. You’re judged on goals and we weren’t able to capitalize early in the game.”
Zacha's empty-netter with 24 seconds to go clinched the Bruins' victory.

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Freshman guard Kanaan Carlyle scored 25 points, Spencer Jones added 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting and Stanford surprised No. 4 Arizona 100-82 in a Pac-12 matchup Sunday.
Andrej Stojakovic scored 16 points and center Maxime Raynaud had 12 points and seven rebounds for the Cardinal (6-6, 1-1), who made a school-record 16 3-pointers in the victory.
Caleb Love led Arizona (10-3, 1-1) with 23 points and center Oumar Ballo added 12 points and seven rebounds.
The victory was Stanford’s first over a ranked opponent since beating Arizona last season and its eighth over a ranked team since 2020.
“I think this will absolutely be the peak moment of this season for 2023,” Stanford coach Jerod Haase said. “For 2024, we’re going to start from scratch and see new peaks and new highs. Usually I tell them to enjoy the win until midnight. This time I told them they could enjoy this one for the rest of the year.”
Stanford raced to an early lead, scoring the first seven points. After Ballo made a layup to bring the Wildcats within a point at the 6:56 mark of the first half, Stanford went on a 21-7 run for a 43-28 lead with under three minutes left in the first half.
The Cardinal got a big boost from both of its freshman guards off the bench in the first half. Carlyle scored 13 of his 25 points in the first half while making all four of his 3-point shots. Stojakovic scored nine points and grabbed two rebounds.
Haase praised his young players and said they were a big part of the win.
“(Kanaan) was fearless out there,” Haase said. “With Kanaan and Andre, their eyes are full of wonder and excitement. I think we can all feed off that.”
Arizona struggled to find a its rhythm in the first half, shooting 41.2% from the field and 25% from long distance.
Stanford led 44-35 at halftime.
Stanford’s hot shooting continued in the second half. Jones scored 11 of the Cardinal’s first 16 points after halftime.
Arizona closed within 11 points at 80-69 when Ballo made a second-chance layup with just over seven minutes left in the game.
A layup by Jones gave Stanford a 95-75 lead with 2:57 left in the second half for its largest advantage of the game.
The win could give Stanford a huge confidence boost as it will go on a three-game trip against UCLA, USC and Oregon State in the coming weeks.
“The people in the locker room all believe what we can do,” Stojakovic said. “We knew we were able to accomplish a win like this. We had a couple games not go our way, but I think this one was finally the game to show that we are one of those teams and we can make a lot of noise in the Pac-12.”
The Wildcats, who are third in the country in fast-break points per game (18.67), were held to just six points in transition by Stanford. Arizona made just seven of its 26 3-point shots and allowed Stanford to make 58.1% of its shots.
“They outplayed our guys,” Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd said. “I don’t care who it was, they outplayed us.”

Mumbai: The bull-run in Indian financial markets is likely to continue in 2024 as foreign interest remains robust, with heavy buying expected in both equity and debt markets, several analysts and industry watchers said.
India's inclusion in the JPMorgan emerging market debt index will boost investments in government debt, while attractive valuations will keep funds flowing into the share market.
"I expect shares to see inflows of around Rs 2,49,570 crore ($30 billion) in 2024, with front-loading in the January-March quarter," Andrew Holland, CEO of Avendus Capital Public Markets Alternate Strategies in Mumbai, said.
"For 2024, earnings growth would be around 15 per cent, and the index would also grow around 15 per cent from where it ends in December."
Overseas investors bought Indian shares worth net Rs 1,72,203 crore ($20.7 billion) in 2023 until December 28, the highest since 2020, while their net debt purchases stood at $8 billion, according to data from National Securities Depository.
India's benchmark BSE Sensex rose 19 per cent in 2023, while the wider Nifty 50 gained 20 per cent, with both indexes hitting record highs in late December, because of upbeat economic data and companies' performance, traders said.
The Federal Reserve's pivot towards rate cuts has also buoyed emerging markets, they added.
Banks, information technology firms and metals will lead India's stock rally, with some push from defense and renewables, Andrew Holland said.
Sreekanth Nadella, MD and CEO at financial management firm KFintech expects foreign inflows in healthcare to trigger outperformance in that sector.
Financials, which have been lagging, could also attract higher flows, Nadella added.
Meanwhile, India's bonds will be boosted as JPMorgan adds some government securities to its emerging market index from June.
"We are positive on India into the next year as foreign inflows will pick up on the back of bond index inclusion," Jean-Charles Sambor, Head Emerging Markets, Fixed Income at BNP Paribas Asset Management, said.
India's 10-year benchmark bond yield was down 15 basis points in 2023, following a 143-basis-points rise in the previous two years.
Though the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is unlikely to start cutting rates until April-June, investors expect bond yields to fall on rate cut hopes.
The 10-year bond yield could fall to 7 per cent over the next six months, Sampath Reddy, Chief Investment Officer at Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance, said.
The Indian rupee will continue trading sideways as the RBI could absorb a bulk of the inflows, traders said.
The rupee declined for a sixth year in a row in 2023, with its volatility hitting near 20-year lows on the back of persistent central bank intervention, they added. | https://www.deccanherald.com/business/markets/indian-shares-bonds-seen-rallying-in-2024-on-continued-foreign-inflows-2-2831016 | 2024-01-01T02:54:30Z |

Describing artificial intelligence as the “latest technological frontier,” Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks come just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records, in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
“Always a bad idea,” Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that “any use of AI requires caution and humility.”
At the same time, though, the chief justice acknowledged that AI can make it much easier for people without much money to access the courts. “These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system,” Roberts wrote.
The report came at the end of a year in which a series of stories questioned the ethical practices of the justices and the court responded to critics by adopting its first code of conduct. Many of those stories focused on Justice Clarence Thomas and his failure to disclose travel, other hospitality and additional financial ties with wealthy conservative donors including Harlan Crow and the Koch brothers. But Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also have been under scrutiny.
The country also is entering an the beginning of an election year that seems likely to enmesh the court in some way in the ongoing criminal cases against Trump and efforts to keep the Republican former president off the 2024 ballot.
Along with his eight colleagues, Roberts almost never discusses cases that are before the Supreme Court or seem likely to get there. In past reports, he has advocated for enhanced security and salary increases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts.
Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes, but don’t make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won’t soon replace judges.
At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determines “whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment,” Roberts wrote.
Looking ahead warily to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: “I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI.”

Xi meets Chinese diplomatic envoys to foreign countries
Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, meets with Chinese diplomatic envoys to foreign countries, who are in Beijing to attend this year's work conference for overseas envoys, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, capital of China, Dec. 29, 2023.

BEIJING, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday met with Chinese diplomatic envoys who are in Beijing to attend this year's work conference for overseas envoys.
Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made an important speech during the meeting.
Xi commended the significant achievements of China's diplomatic work in the new era. He asked the envoys to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress, the spirit of the Central Conference on Work Relating to Foreign Affairs, and the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, especially the Thought on Diplomacy.
Xi urged the envoys to correctly understand the international environment and historical mission of China's diplomatic work in the new era and new journey, hold high the banner of building a community with a shared future for humanity, and constantly open up new prospects for major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics.
Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, was present at the meeting.
In his speech, Xi said over the past few years, the spread of COVID-19 and the escalating oppression and containment of China by external forces have posed special challenges to China's diplomatic work, bringing special tests to the envoys.
On behalf of the CPC Central Committee, Xi greeted and thanked the envoys and all diplomatic personnel for their hard work.
Xi stressed the need to adhere to the centralized, unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, carry forward the valuable experience of China's diplomacy in the new era, enhance cohesion, exert combat effectiveness, overcome all difficulties and obstacles, and win new and greater victories.
The just-held Central Conference on Work Relating to Foreign Affairs analyzed the current international situation and external environment for the period to come and made clear the goals and directions, guiding principles, strategic arrangements, and basic tasks of China's external work, Xi said, calling on the envoys to earnestly implement the decisions and arrangements of the conference and make new achievements with a more energetic spirit.
Firstly, Xi urged the envoys to stay true to the founding mission and be loyal to the Party.
Xi stressed that the envoys must enrich their minds with the CPC's innovative theories, sharpen their eyes to distinguish right from wrong, and always keep to the correct political direction.
The envoys must have a deep understanding of where the supreme interests of the CPC and the country lie and understand and implement the foreign work principles and policies of the CPC Central Committee well, Xi noted.
Over 1.4 billion Chinese people are strong supporters of China's diplomatic work. The envoys should take "diplomacy for the people" as their commitment and pass on the warmth of the CPC Central Committee to every overseas Chinese citizen, Xi said.
Secondly, Xi emphasized that the envoys should strengthen their sense of responsibility and be pioneers in their endeavors.
It is necessary to strengthen diplomatic capacity building and be firm in taking practical and pragmatic measures, to be alert and clear-sighted, and to make more practical moves around serving the overall situation and solving problems, Xi said.
The envoys must be good at making friends widely and deeply, and winning people's hearts should be done at different levels. The envoys should also use international language and methods to tell China's stories well, connect China with other countries, and let the world understand China in the new era better, he said.
Thirdly, Xi pointed out that the envoys should be brave enough to defend national interests.
It is necessary to enhance confidence, maintain a clear strategy, maintain bottom-line thinking, and resolutely safeguard China's sovereignty, security, and development interests, he said.
The envoys must strengthen strategic planning and make good use of the magic weapon of the united front, Xi said, adding that they also need to make good use of multilateral mechanisms and rules to gain understanding and support from the international community.
Fourthly, Xi noted that the envoys should adhere to self-revolution and promote full and rigorous Party self-governance.
The envoys should take strict steps to improve Party conduct and enforce Party discipline, put discipline and rules ahead, and build a diplomatic iron army loyal to the Party, brave in taking responsibility, daring to fight and good at fighting, and strict in discipline, Xi said.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, attended the conference and delivered a speech.
He urged the envoys to thoroughly study and understand Xi's important speech and the spirit of the Central Conference on Work Relating to Foreign Affairs, deeply understand the great theoretical innovation and far-reaching significance of Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy, take Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy as a guide, overcome difficulties, forge ahead, and constantly open up new prospects for major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

DENVER (KDVR) — A Colorado woman accused of killing two of her children was arrested in the United Kingdom on Saturday, according to police.
Kimberlee Singler, 35, is suspected of killing her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son and attempting to kill her 11-year-old daughter in Colorado Springs.
On Dec. 19, police said they responded to a 911 call reporting a burglary at an apartment complex at around 12:30 a.m. and found the the bodies of the two deceased children.
Officers also located Singler and her 11-year-old daughter at the scene. They were both injured and taken to hospitals for treatment, according to Colorado Springs Police Department spokesperson Ira Cronin.
Singler’s injuries were minor. The 11-year-old girl was hospitalized for a few days and then released. She is recovering well physically in Colorado Springs. Cronin said he could not release details about how the children or Singler were injured.
Police said the initial report of a burglary was unfounded.
Singler was initially cooperative with police investigating the homicides and alleged burglary. She went missing after the probe, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
“In the initial stages of the investigation, we were treating her as a victim of a burglary,” Cronin told the Associated Press.
On Dec. 26, investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Singler on multiple charges, including multiple counts of first degree murder, child abuse and assault.
The children’s deaths came amid an ongoing legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, according to court filings. Court hearings had been scheduled for next month.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts’ desperation heave was intercepted to seal the Eagles’ fourth loss this month and one that meant so much more.
Philadelphia’s shot at the top spot in the NFC? Gone. The bye and home-field edge goes to the 49ers. The NFC East crown? Once in their grasp, the Eagles now need help from — yikes, Washington — to win a second straight division title.
The team that opened December 10-1 and looked like a favorite to return to the Super Bowl unraveled Sunday with a 35-31 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and now faces the grim reality of opening the playoffs on the road.
“We’ve got to get things fixed,” coach Nick Sirianni said. “And we’ve got to get them fixed fast.”
Where to start is the hard part.
James Conner ran for a 2-yard touchdown with 32 seconds remaining and Kyler Murray threw three TD passes for Arizona, which rallied from a 15-point deficit.
Former Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon returned to Philly and got his biggest win yet in his first season as Arizona’s coach. Granted, there haven’t been many of them for the Cardinals (4-12).
The Eagles (11-5) could have won the NFC East with wins against Arizona and the New York Giants next week. Now, Dallas can win the division with a win next week at Washington.
The Eagles could still earn the No. 2 seed with a win at the Giants and a Cowboys loss.
“Man, I’m not worried at all but there’s a lot to learn from a game like this,” defensive end Brandon Graham said.
Maybe he should be concerned. The Eagles have played more like a team bound for a quick playoff exit than one that could make a second straight trip to the Super Bowl.
There was plenty of blame to go around: a discombobulated offense that included indecisive play-calling late in the game, a running game that never got going and a defense that couldn’t get off the field.
The series of blunders included Sirianni running out of timeouts on the Eagles’ final drive and a late-game first-and-20 (because of offensive holding) that saw the Eagles run twice and try a short pass that only got them 5 yards.
“We’re in the playoffs. Lot of teams want to be in the playoffs,” Sirianni said. “We can still do some things here.”
Murray finished 25 of 31 for 232 yards and got stronger as the game progressed, overcoming a 99-yard pick-6 by Sydney Brown early in the second quarter. Conner rushed for 128 yards on 26 carries.
“With everything that’s happened, a lot of disappointment this year, a lot of tough losses,” Murray said. “But trying to finish the season off the right way.”
The Cardinals rallied from a 21-6 halftime deficit on the strength of Murray’s two TD tosses in the third quarter that tied the game at 21-all.
Hurts put the Eagles ahead in the fourth with his third TD pass of the game, a 9-yarder to Dallas Goedert.
Normally, that would be enough to win a game at the Linc. But Philly’s defense couldn’t hold on. Cornerback Kelee Ringo was flagged for pass interference and the Cardinals used the extra 29 yards to help tie game 28-28 with 5:26 left. Murray hit Michael Wilson for a 5-yard TD.
Jake Elliott kicked a 43-yard field goal with 2:33 left to give the Eagles their last lead.
Murray had plenty of time to move the Cardinals into scoring position. He hit Greg Dorch for a 36-yard gain that brought Arizona to the Eagles 5 and set up Conner’s decisive score.
The Cardinals finished with 449 yards of offense and scored touchdowns on all four possessions in the second half.
Gannon certainly had reason to gloat — his successor, Sean Desai, already had his play-calling duties stripped during this morbid stretch and turned over to Matt Patricia. No matter who is calling the shots this month, the Eagles’ defense has been steamrolled. The Cardinals rushed for 221 yards and never punted.
“We still have everything in front of us,” Hurts said.
FAST PHILLY START
The Eagles at last made solid use of 34-year-old receiver Julio Jones, signed in October to provide some depth.
The seven-time Pro Bowl selection had just seven catches for 27 yards and two touchdowns entering the game. He wasn’t supposed to be a top target, of course, not with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith both topping the 1,000-yard receiving mark this season.
Jones caught a 12-yard TD pass in the first quarter and had a 22-yard TD with 16 seconds left in the second.
Hurts’ three TD passes brought his total to a franchise-record 38 touchdowns this season. He had already set an NFL QB record with 15 rushing touchdowns. Hurts in 2022 and Randall Cunningham in 1990 both accounted for 35 TDs for the Eagles.
DEFENSIVE GEM
Brown, a rookie safety out of Illinois, circled under a pass from Murray at the Eagles 1-yard line and streaked down the sideline, then zig-zagged into the end zone to give Philly a 14-3 lead. Brown reached a top speed of 21.52 mph and traveled 126.7 total yards on the 99-yard return, per Next Gen Stats.
FAKE OUT
The Eagles used a fake play off the tush push to get a first down. Hurts lined up under center on third-and-1 and flipped the ball to Kenneth Gainwell, who threw a 17-yard pass to Smith. Hurts found Jones for the 22-yard TD on the next play.
INJURIES
Cardinals CB Garrett Williams left with an ankle injury, and OL D.J. Humphries suffered a knee injury.
UP NEXT
While the Eagles try to finish strong against the Giants next weekend, the Cardinals will try to play spoiler to another playoff contender, hosting the Seattle Seahawks.

(NEXSTAR) – There’s a first time for everything. But if you’re Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, sometimes there are several “first times” for the same thing.
Last weekend, Johnson shared a video to his social media accounts which purportedly documented his “first ever @innout burger experience.”
“Rolled up in my pick up and tried to be cool af with my order,” Johnson captioned the posts, which he shared just before Christmas. “But I didn’t know the lingo, didn’t know who to pay, where to pay, didn’t know s—,” he wrote.
The video, at just over two minutes long, appeared to show Johnson visiting two different locations for two separate “cheat day” meals. He was also recognized at both drive-thrus, and stopped to take pictures with staff.
Many viewers lauded Johnsons for being so gracious and approachable during his visits, while others suggested he try some of their favorite In-N-Out menu items on his next cheat day.
Some, however, seemed quite skeptical that Johnson had never visited In-N-Out before — especially because they had seen him do it.
“This is a lie,” one Twitter user claimed. “Back in 2020 you did a video of you saying this is the first time I’ve ever had In-N-Out burgers.”
Indeed, Johnson has at least made other visits to In-N-Out over the years, though not necessarily in 2020, like the Twitter user claimed. As first reported by TMZ, and later confirmed by his own Instagram activity, Johnson has eaten at, or at least been to, In-N-Out burger on two other occasions.
In 2017, Johnson posted a photo of himself at the drive-thru window of an In-N-Out, claiming he’d “never been” before. But it’s possible he didn’t actually eat anything, as he said he was merely picking up food for his family.
Then, in 2022, Johnson shared a video of that day’s “cheat meal” — two In-N-Out Double-Doubles, two orders of fries, and an icy glass of tequila — claiming it was the “very first time” he’s ever tried the chain’s food. (In the video, he acknowledged that he’s been to In-N-Out drive-thru before, but only to pick up food for other people.)
All three times he’s posted about In-N-Out, Johnson also indicated that he intended to go back.
“Thank you In and Out for being awesome and I’ll see ya down the road,” he wrote in his latest video post.
Some of his fans, meanwhile, were left confused as to why Johnson might misrepresent his fast-food past.
“What a strange lie to tell,” one Instagram user remarked. “Especially when his previous visit to In N Out was immortalized on social media. Like what was his goal here?”
Johnson has not yet issued any comment on his previous social media posts, nor whether he intends to clear the air before his first-ever visit to In-N-Out sometime in 2026. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/fans-call-out-dwayne-the-rock-johnson-for-claiming-to-try-in-n-out-for-the-first-time-this-is-a-lie/ | 2024-01-01T02:54:38Z |
Eller tallied a pair of goals in Sunday's 3-1 victory over the Islanders.
Eller opened the scoring early in the first period, burying a feed from Jansen Harkins on the rush, before capping the scoring with an empty-netter in the third. The 34-year-old Eller came into Sunday's matchup with just one point in his last 15 games. He's up to six goals and 11 points through 35 games in a middle-six role with Pittsburgh this season. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/penguins-lars-eller-scores-twice-in-win/ | 2024-01-01T02:54:38Z |

Reflecting on a decade of Xi Jinping's inspiring New Year speeches as 2024 approaches
(People's Daily Online) 15:11, December 31, 2023
Since late 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping's New Year addresses have accompanied hundreds of millions of Chinese people on New Year's Eve every year.
Over the past 10 years, Xi Jinping's New Year addresses have consistently highlighted a spirit of striving. Relevant remarks in his addresses, including "only hard work will make dreams come true" and "happiness is achieved through hard work", still inspire many people today.
People's Daily Online has released 10 posters to revisit these inspiring words. As 2024 approaches, let's embark on a new journey together, one filled with glory and ambition.

PGA Tour seeks extension on commercial deal with Saudis, private investors
(AP) - The PGA Tour believes it has made enough progress with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf to extend their negotiations into next year for a new commercial deal that would include a U.S. investment group and the European tour.
Commissioner Jay Monahan sent a memo to players on Sunday afternoon, just seven hours before the deadline to finalize the deal that was set in the June 6 framework agreement.
The PGA Tour board unanimously agreed three weeks ago to negotiate exclusively with Strategic Sports Group, a consortium of American-based professional sports teams owners led by Fenway Sports Group.
Monahan said the tour has made “meaningful progress” with SSG and provided the group with all the information it requested.
“As we move forward in our discussions, we are focused on the finalization of terms and drafts of necessary documents,” Monahan said.
Far more complicated are the negotiations with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the financial supporters of the rival LIV Golf League which lured away Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka in 2022, and most recently Masters champion Jon Rahm earlier this month.
Monahan described conversations with PIF and the European tour as “active and productive.”
The framework agreement was to expire Dec. 31, though it included language that the deadline could be extended if all parties agreed. “We are working to extend our negotiations into next year based on the progress we have made to date,” Monahan said in his memo.
Monahan said the goal for 2024 was to reach agreements with SSG, PIF and the European tour to bring them in as minority co-investors in the for-profit PGA Tour Enterprises.
“These partnerships will allow us to unify, innovate and invest in the game for the benefit of players, fans and sponsors,” Monahan said.
Under the framework agreement, PIF Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan would have a seat on the PGA Tour board. The agreement also included PGA Tour Enterprises doing an “objective, empirical-driven evaluation” of LIV and to determine if team golf can be integrated into the PGA Tour and European tour.
It also was to determine a “fair and objective” process for LIV players who might want to return to the PGA Tour or European tour, which is said to be a sticking point because of the players who turned down Saudi riches to remain on the PGA Tour.
The PGA Tour season begins Thursday at The Sentry on Maui, the first of eight “signature” events with a $20 million purse and limited field. LIV Golf already has announced the bulk of its 2024 schedule and $20 million purses. It starts the first week of February.

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Prairie Rose Wellbriety is hosting a powwow to celebrate the New Year without drugs or alcohol.
The event is held to help those who are struggling with sobriety as well as to incorporate traditional teachings into the recovery process.
“Whenever we started our group, we’d seen the amount of momentum it picked up right away. Because things like this powwow, you see all the people here, the numbers that keep coming through the door. This isn’t just our idea,” said Ben Eagle Feather, the president of Prairie Rose Wellbriety.

FLORENCE, S.C. (WBTW) — NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough has died at 84 after a long illness.
Yarborough died early Sunday morning at McLeod Hospice in Florence, South Carolina, according to his family.
NASCAR Chairman and CEO Jim France released a statement following Yarborough’s death:
“Cale Yarborough was one of the toughest competitors NASCAR has ever seen. His combination of talent, grit and determination separated Cale from his peers, both on the track and in the record book. He was respected and admired by competitors and fans alike and was as comfortable behind the wheel of a tractor as he was behind the wheel of a stock car. On behalf of the France family and NASCAR, I offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Cale Yarborough.”
During his career, Yarborough won 83 races, tying Jimmie Johnson for sixth on the all-time NASCAR Cup Series list. He’s also just one of two drivers to win three consecutive championships, winning 1976, 1977 and 1978.
Yarborough operated Cale Yarborough Honda in Florence. He grew up in Sardis, South Carolina, just a few miles from Timmonsville. He was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2012.
He retired from racing in 1988, and he later became the first Republican elected to the Florence County Council since Reconstruction. He was re-elected his next term as a Democrat. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/nascar-legend-cale-yarborough-dies-at-84/ | 2024-01-01T02:54:44Z |
Ferraro (upper body) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Avalanche.
Ferraro was hurt in the first period on a heavy hit. The 25-year-old has four assists over his last five games. If Ferraro can't play Tuesday versus the Red Wings, Marc-Edouard Vlasic or Kyle Burroughs could rejoin the lineup. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/sharks-mario-ferraro-sustains-upper-body-injury/ | 2024-01-01T02:54:44Z |
