Neal Hefti was born one hundred years ago - October 29th 1922, in Hastings, Nebraska, the town where (when l'il Neal was five) Kool-Aid was invented. Unlike Kool-Aid, Mr Hefti was never exactly a household name, but (as you'll know if you heard this week's Clubland Q&A) he insinuated his way into just about every household on the planet with a television set in the Sixties and Seventies. That's to say, he wrote the supergroovy theme for the film and sitcom spin-off The Odd Couple, and he wrote the ingenious theme for the Batman TV show - the one that spawned a thousand jokes: "How does Alfred call Batman in for dinner?" "Dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner Batman!"
That would be more than enough glory for one lifetime, but Hefti was a multi-talent who did a bunch of other stuff brilliantly, too. He was a marvelous film composer and a terrific arranger who played a critical role in the sound of the Count Basie band in the Fifties and Sixties. He scored just two vocal albums, but they're two of the best in the history of recorded sound: Sinatra/Basie and Sinatra And Swingin' Brass, both from 1962. And after that he figured it could only go downhill, so he quit vocal arranging and, despite innumerable offers from all the best singers right up to his death in 2008, never returned to it.
At any rate, that's the way he told it. According to others, he quit because Sinatra wouldn't give him equal billing on the Swingin' Brass album. Apparently, the arranger wanted to call it Hefti Meets The Thin One - a rather lame pun on his name, and the fact that young Frankie, way back when in the bobbysoxer days, had been famously emaciated. Back in the Fifties, there was a whole school of singer/arranger albums so named - Rosemary Clooney records with Nelson Riddle? Hey, why not Rosie Solves The Swingin' Riddle? Still, I can't believe as level-headed a guy as Neal Hefti got so over-invested in a labored contrivance like Hefti Meets The Thin One that he walked out over it. I prefer his reasoning: How could you top those two albums? Best to quit while you're ahead.
The records still sound great. Sinatra And Swingin' Brass is maybe the jazziest album Frank ever made, right from Hefti's jumpin' chart for the all-time great revenge gloatfest number "Goody Goody" through the dissonant brass blast that opens a freewheeling two-chorus "Tangerine" and the ebullient countermelody on "Love Is Just Around The Corner" to the groovily fugue-like "Pick Yourself Up":
If you have the CD version, you'll notice that at the end there's a bonus track, an old Sinatra single called "Everybody's Twistin'". It started out thirty years earlier as a minor Fats Waller hit called "Everybody's Truckin'", one of those dance craze things that never quite clues you in on what the dance actually involves. In this case, all we learn is that up in Harlem someone started "truckin'" and next thing you know it's swept the nation. Flash forward to the early Sixties, and at Reprise Records they're figuring out how to cut themselves a piece of the action on a genuine nationwide dance craze - the twist - and someone remembers "Truckin'" and thinks, "Hey, why not update it to 'Twistin'"?"
As an arranger for Woody Herman and Count Basie, it's fair to say Neal Hefti wasn't doing a lot of twisting and no doubt found Chubby Checker as musically engaging as getting clubbed with a two-by-four for three minutes. But he took Rube Bloom's tune for "Truckin'" and oomphed it up with a driving motif that's twist-esque but totally cool. If you want to know where the dinner-dinner-dinner theme for Batman came from, check out that Sinatra single from four years earlier: Frank and Bruce Wayne sound like twins separated at birth.
"It did not come easy to me," said Hefti of the Batman tune. "I just sweated over that thing, more so than any other single piece of music I ever wrote. I was never satisfied with it." But nobody else seemed to mind. It was one of the most recorded tunes of 1966, and Hefti himself got a hit record out of it. As a composer, he was more than just a TV themesmith. Bart ("Fly Me To The Moon") Howard took one of Hefti's jazz instrumentals, "L'il Darlin'", and turned it into a very swankily sensuous ballad, "Don't Dream Of Anybody But Me". And Bobby Vinton had a big pop smash with "Lonely Girl", which came from the 1965 film Harlow, a biopic of the prematurely deceased Golden Age silver screen platinum blonde siren.
Jean Harlow was one of MGM's biggest stars when she died in 1937, of renal failure at the age of twenty-six. Today she's all but forgotten, and most of the once famous stories about her - always having ice cubes handy to keep her bra-less nipples erect under her gowns, etc - seem to have transferred themselves to that more enduring tragic blonde, Marilyn Monroe. But four decades back Harlow still retained enough luster to merit not one but two Hollywood biographies, both called Harlow, both released in 1965, and both starring Carols in the leading role - Carol Lynley in one, and the more extravagantly lettered Carroll Baker in the other. Hefti scored the Baker version, with Angela Lansbury doing the mother role (though she was only six years older than Miss Baker) and Leslie Nielsen as the Howard Hughes figure. It came out in June 1965. Unfortunately, the other Harlow came out in May 1965. Both flopped. The Lynley version was scored by Nelson Riddle and is hardly his best work. The Baker version, by contrast, is the unlikely source of Neal Hefti's biggest standard song, "Girl Talk":
That's the first vocal release, by Julie London, who had a head's up on the song, being married to the lyricist. Michael Feinstein, who recorded it a few years back, describes it as "the last great male chauvinist song written in the Sixties". By which he means lines like these:
They like to chat about the dresses they will wear tonight
They chew the fat about their tresses and the neighbors' fight
Inconsequential things that men don't really care to know
Become essential things that women find so apropos
But that's a dame
They're all the same
It's just a game
They call it
Girl Talk
Girl Talk...
By the mid-Sixties, Neal Hefti had somehow become the go-to guy for scoring sex comedies, a thriving genre in those days. Usually they starred Tony Curtis or Jack Lemmon. In Sex And The Single Girl, Curtis plays a tabloid hack attempting to find out whether sexologist Natalie Wood is a virgin. In How To Murder Your Wife, Jack Lemmon wakes up with a helluva hangover and discovers that in the course of his bender he's acquired a spouse. In Boeing Boeing, the definitive air stewardess comedy, Curtis (again) finds himself trying to juggle a hectic schedule of three long-haul trolley dollies. Hefti presumably got these gigs because someone at the studio subscribed to Playboy, noticed the awards for jazz albums and concluded that, if Hugh Hefner's "Playboy lifestyle" equated jazz and sex, Mr and Mrs Moviegoer would, too. Hefti certainly delivered: All three scores swing far more effortlessly than their male protagonists. But, for all that, the music that encapsulates both the era and Hefti's soundtrack to it was actually written for a rather glum period drama. Harlow is set in the Thirties, but nothing about the tune of "Girl Talk" evokes anything other than the swingin' Sixties. Like most of Hefti's best "songs", it's really an incredibly confident, muscular extended vamp, a bluesily seesawing theme of big fat notes. To hear it wailing out on brass and saxes is to enter big band heaven. But even instrumentally it reeks of its time and place. Add the lyric and it's a perfect period piece - "Bewitched", Peyton Place, John Updike's Couples and...
They all meow about the ups and downs of all their friends
The who, the how, the why, they dish the dirt, it never ends...
The lyric is by Bobby Troup, another quintessential figure of the age, both as a Los Angeles nightclub fixture and as the husband to the above-menyioned Julie London, after-hours chantoosie of what my old program director used to call "bearskin rug music". Troup was a singer, pianist, composer and lyricist. His best-known song is "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66", but he wrote lots of others, too. They're neat numbers that give the impression of a man who didn't need to compose for a living but was happy to do so if a cute idea caught his fancy. Troup was a self-contained composer-lyricist, but occasionally he put music to another writer's words - as you can hear when Manhattan Transfer's Cheryl Bentyne did his harrowing ballad "The Meaning of the Blues" on a recent live-performance edition of our Song of the Week. And, likewise, once in a while he put words to another man's music: in this case Neal Hefti's tune grabbed him and he wrote it up. Notice how elaborate his rhyme scheme is:
They like to chat about the dresses they will wear tonight
They chew the fat about their tresses and the neighbors' fight...
As a composer himself, Troup understood that the melodic theme is so weighty you'd be underserving it if you simply waited till the end of the line to rhyme. One consequence is that the lyric winds up both far more detailed in its imagery - "the neighbors' fight" - and far more vivid in its vernacular - "they all meow", "chew the fat", "dish the dirt", etc:
In 1965, Tony Bennett and Jack Jones and everybody else did it with nary a thought. When I was a kid, I was rummaging through my dad's record collection and came across an old Buddy Greco single, with "L-O-V-E" on one side and "Girl Talk" on the other. And it so tickled me I took to slipping it in among the caterwauling rockers when I had chums over:
The girls would listen in horror, aghast that there was ever a time when it would have been acceptable to express such sentiments. The more they objected, the fonder I grew of the number. If you have my cat album Feline Groovy, you'll notice there's a track on there called "The Cats Meow". It's Rossini's "Cats' Duet", which our arranger Kevin Amos felt ought to be included on any CD of cat songs. However, I balked at singing opera, and was still mulling it over when I chanced to hear the original Hefti recording of "Girl Talk" on the radio, and something deep in the orchestration reminded me of the first movement of the Rossini. So in the end we decided to move Rossini into the lounge era - with the third movement as a samba, the second as a jazz waltz, and the first movement as "Girl Talk" sideways. In fact, we even slipped in a line of Hefti's tune plus a single solitary word of Bobby Troup's lyric:
They all meow about the ups and downs of all their friends...
A few years back, I had a vague idea for an album called Songs For Swingin' Sexists, comprised mostly of tunes from the "Girl Talk" era - such as Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "Wives And Lovers", which poor old Elvis Costello, in order to justify the pleasure he gets from the song, feels obliged to pretend is "ironic". The unironically inclined musicologist Will Friedwald dismisses "Girl Talk" as "a patronizing and chauvinistic lyric", so, if you happen to enjoy it, you generally have to do what Michael Feinstein did and pre-emptively apologize. I saw Buddy Greco sing it in New York in the Nineties and, even though he was more or less oblivious to the sensibilities of the delicate, he felt obliged to add over the intro that "the last time I did this song, three women walked out. Swear to God."
Here's Buddy in 2009, in his eighties, doubling down on the lyric:
In fact, women seem far more relaxed about it than sensitive new men of the Feinstein generation. Ella Fitzgerald and Betty Carter sang "Girl Talk" back when it was first written, and today so do the younger canaries. Dee Dee Bridgewater does a very striking bilingual version, with a French lyric by Claude Nougaro, and Vanessa Rubin just does Troup's "sexist" "politically incorrect" original in a rueful manner, on the assumption that there may just be a bit of truth in it:
As The Washington Post reported of one of her concerts, "The women in the audience let loose long tones of agreement, knowing full well what girls talk about, especially after the age of forty."
Which is just as well, because that slinky, insinuating Neal Hefti tune is too good to lose. "Girl Talk" is a song of the Sixties that waned in the Seventies and then began a long slow climb back into the repertoire. It can be goofy, cocky, patronizing, sexist, and hopelessly dated, but, if you do it right, those last lines are wonderfully warm and intimate and tender:
So baby, stay
And gab away
But hear me say
That after
Girl Talk
Talk to me.
One more, from Frank Sinatra Jr and Steve Tyrell, with a second chorus, with SUVs and cellphones, written (by Junior) to move it into less retro-sexist territory:
Hmm. Think I'll stick with the original. When the last baby boomer dies and the Batman theme eventually fades away, I hope someone somewhere will still be singing "Girl Talk". I wonder if Eartha Kitt's Catwoman ever purred it to Bruce Wayne...

Ducati Diavel V4 v/s Triumph Rocket 3: Which is better?
Italian superbike marque Ducati has taken the wraps off the 2023 Diavel V4. The cruiser comes equipped with updated electronic riding aids and a MotoGP-derived V4 Granturismo engine. The motorcycle goes up against the Triumph Rocket 3, which has also been updated to MY-2023 and features the world's largest engine in a production bike. However, which one is a better choice?
- The cruiser motorcycle segment has been dominated largely by the likes of Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle due to their effortless riding abilities and larger displacement engine.
- However, a shift has been witnessed lately toward sporty cruiser offerings such as the Diavel or the Rocket 3.
- While Triumph Motorcycles opted for its tried-and-tested design philosophy, Ducati has gone all-out with the modern "power cruiser" format.
The Ducati Diavel V4 has a muscular 20-liter fuel tank, a vertically-stacked LED headlamp, split-type seats, an upswept quad-tip exhaust, and a sleek LED taillamp. The Triumph Rocket 3 sports a sculpted 18-liter fuel tank, dual LED headlights, stepped-up seats, side-mounted dual exhaust, and slim LED taillight. Both motorcycles pack a full-color TFT instrument cluster and ride on designer alloy wheels.
The Diavel V4 is powered by a 1,158cc, liquid-cooled, 16-valve, V4 Granturismo engine that generates a maximum power of 168hp and a peak torque of 126Nm. The Rocket 3 draws power from a 2,458cc, inline-triple, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine that churns out a maximum power of 165hp and a peak torque of 221Nm. Both bikes are equipped with a 6-speed gearbox.
In terms of rider safety, both the Diavel V4 and Rocket 3 come equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with cornering ABS, traction control, and riding modes. However, the Diavel V4 has a better overall electronic suite. Suspension duties on both cruisers are handled by inverted forks on the front and a mono-shock unit on the rear end.
In India, the Triumph Rocket 3 ranges between Rs. 19.9 lakh and Rs. 21.4 lakh, while the price of the Ducati Diavel V4 is expected to start from Rs. 22 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom). The Rocket 3 has a bigger engine and a slightly lower price tag. However, our vote goes in favor of the Diavel V4 for overall better looks and electronics package. | https://www.newsbytesapp.com/news/auto/ducati-diavel-v4-v-s-triumph-rocket-3-specifications/story | 2022-10-30T23:21:24 | en | 0.93844 |

Badminton, India's Satwiksairaj-Chirag win the 2022 French Open: Key stats
India's Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty sealed an emphatic win to claim the men's doubles title at the 2022 French Open on Sunday. The 2022 Commonwealth Games gold-winning duo trumped Chinese Taipei's Lu Ching-yao and Yang Po-Han in straight games (21-13, 21-19) in the 49-minute-long final. Notably, it's the pair's first Super 750 title on the BWF World Tour. Here's more.
The Indians were off to a flying 5-0 lead in the first game and extended it to 11-5 by the break. They eventually wrapped up with a 21-13 scoreline. The second game was no different as the Indians raked in an 11-5 lead by halftime. However, the rival world number 25 rival pair staged a classic comeback but eventually fell short 19-21.
In 2019, Satwiksairaj and Chirag became only the second Indian duo to reach the final of a BWF 750 event by getting to the French Open finale. They joined the 1983 French Open-winning pair of Partho Ganguly- Vikram Singh. Satwiksairaj-Chirag, however, had to be content with silver. They failed to overcome Indonesia's Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo. The wait is over now.
Satwiksairaj and Chirag beat local favorites Christo Popov and Toma Junior Popov 19-21, 21-9, 21-13 in R32. The seventh-seeded pair bested Malaysia's Man Wei Chong and Tee Kai Wun 21-16, 21-14 in R16. They overpowered Japanese world number one Yugo Kobayashi and Takuro Hoki 23-21, 21-18. They thrashed South Korea's Choi Sol-gyu and Kim Won-ho in the semis before routing Ching Yao and Po-Han.
Satwiksairaj-Chirag own a 34-8 win-loss record in 2022. Prior to the French Open, the pair exited in the quarter-finals in Denmark Open a few weeks back. They also suffered a semi-final defeat in the World Championships in August. They started the year with an enthralling run at the India Open. However, they followed with second-round defeats at the All-England Open and the Swiss Open.
Satwiksairaj and Chirag are the first Indian men's doubles pair to breach the Top 10 rankings. They are two-time bronze medallists at the Asia Team Championships (2016, 2020). They won silver in men's doubles in the 2018 Commonwealth Games, besides winning gold in the mixed team event. Earlier this year, the pair was crowned winner in the men's team event at the Thomas Cup.
Satwiksairaj and Chirag can now boast of winning four BWF World Tour titles in men's doubles. They emerged winners at the 2018 Hyderabad Open, 2019 Thailand Open, and 2022 India Open before the French Open. The pair had concluded as the runner-up on two occasions (2018 Syed Modi International and 2019 French Open). Besides, they are six-time BWF International Challenge/Series champions. | https://www.newsbytesapp.com/news/sports/badminton-satwiksairaj-chirag-win-gold-in-french-open/story | 2022-10-30T23:21:30 | en | 0.944688 |

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — At least five tornadoes have been confirmed after a severe weather outbreak Saturday along the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast.
No injuries or deaths were reported as damage surveys continued.
The National Weather Service said Sunday that three tornadoes touched down in Jackson County, Mississippi, each with top winds estimated between 100 mph and 110 mph (160 kph and 175 kph).
In Alabama, two weak tornadoes with winds of 72 mph (115 kph) or less were confirmed, one in Theodore and one south of downtown Mobile. Surveyors were still looking Sunday for evidence of tornadoes in Alabama, where multiple funnel clouds were captured on video or in pictures.
A Mississippi twister in Vancleave had a path of 1.25 miles (2 kilometers) damaging trees, a home and some outbuildings. A 2.8-mile (4.5-kilometer) tornado damaged trees in Moss Point before crossing a marsh and Interstate 10. A 1-mile (1.6-kilometer) tornado damaged light poles at a park in Big Point.
Surveyors concluded that damage to Gautier Middle School was caused by straight line winds. Wind damage was also reported farther west in Pass Christian and Diamondhead, Mississippi.
Although tornadoes are rare in most of the United States in late fall and winter, they are more common along the Gulf Coast in those seasons, when cold fronts collide with warm Gulf of Mexico air.
In Alabama, multiple people made images of a funnel cloud crossing a highway that runs across Mobile Bay between Mobile and Spanish Fort. No damage was reported there.
Residents also reported wind damage in parts of western Mobile and in Theodore, southwest of the city. The Theodore tornado tore the roof off at least one house, blowing out windows. Other residents lost fences, trampolines and above-ground swimming pools.
“Opened this front door and the tree tops over there just parted and you could see a funnel not touching the ground, come through I slammed the door got in the hallway with the kids, and in a matter of 30 seconds the ramming and banging and it was gone,” homeowner Matthew McGilberry of Theodore told WKRG-TV on Sunday.
East across Mobile Bay, thousands were without power late Saturday around Magnolia Springs and Bon Secour. However utilities reported that almost all the outages had been restored by Sunday. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/At-least-5-tornadoes-confirmed-in-Gulf-Coast-17545486.php | 2022-10-30T23:22:22 | en | 0.971293 |

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A University of Kentucky student who was studying in South Korea was one of more than 150 people killed when a huge Halloween party crowd surged into a narrow alley in a nightlife district in Seoul, the school said Sunday.
Anne Gieske, a nursing student from northern Kentucky, died in the crush of people in the Itaewon area of Seoul on Saturday night, University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto said in a statement posted on the school's website.
Gieske was studying in South Korea this semester with an education abroad program, Capilouto said. The university also has two other students and a faculty member there, but they have been contacted and they are safe, he said.
“We have been in contact with Anne’s family and will provide whatever support we can — now and in the days ahead — as they cope with this indescribable loss,” the statement said.
The university is located in Lexington, Kentucky. The school has offered online and phone resources for students who are grieving, including the services of a mental health clinician. The university has nearly 80 students from South Korea, the statement said.
"As a community, it is a sacred responsibility we must keep — to be there for each other in moments of sheer joy and in those of deepest sadness," Capilouto said. “That is what compassionate communities do.”
It remained unclear what led the crowd to surge into the downhill alley, and authorities promised a thorough investigation. Witnesses said people fell on each other “like dominoes,” and some victims were bleeding from their noses and mouths while being given CPR. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/University-of-Kentucky-student-dies-in-Seoul-17545502.php | 2022-10-30T23:23:06 | en | 0.984769 |
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have hired Tampa Bay Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro as their new manager, a person with direct knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Sunday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the club had yet to announce the move.
Quatraro replaces Mike Matheny, who was fired as part of a wide-spread shakeup within the organization after finishing with a 65-97 record for their sixth straight losing season. Quatraro was chosen by Royals general manager J.J. Picollo, who took over as head of the club's baseball operations after the firing of longtime front-office executive Dayton Moore.
Picollo, along with Royals owner John Sherman, had said they wanted a forward-thinking manager who was more data-driven than those of the past. They got exactly that in the 48-year-old Quatraro, who had been the bench coach in Tampa Bay since 2018 and had also been a hitting coordinator and third base coach. He previously worked on manager Terry Francona's staff in Cleveland.
He had been a hot commodity in recent seasons, interviewing with the Mets and A's last season for their manager jobs.

Christopher Bell won his way into NASCAR's championship race, while Ross Chastain used a move more suited for a video game to also advance in Sunday's thrilling regular-season finale at Martinsville Speedway.
Bell had to win to advance to the final four next week at Phoenix Raceway and he pulled it off to give Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota one spot in the finale. Bell also won on the Charlotte Motor Speedway road course in the final race of the second round of the playoffs, so has now twice advanced with victories.
But this win was different.
“Man, I say it all the time, but the driver is just a small piece of the puzzle for these races,” Bell said. "The reason why this car won today is because it was the best car on the racetrack. Adam Stevens, Tyler William, this entire 20 group, they just never give up. When our back is against the wall, looks like it’s over, they show up and give me the fastest car out here.
“I don’t know, man. Words can’t describe this feeling.”
The final four drivers in the Cup Series winner-take-all finale are Bell, Joey Logano, Chase Elliott and Chastain, who bumped foe Denny Hamlin from the championship with his spectacular last-lap scramble.
Chastain pinned his Chevrolet against the outside wall of the 0.526-mile speedway and was sailing at some 70 mph faster than the rest of the field as he went from 10th to fifth to give Trackhouse Racing its first championship appearance.
Chastain credited his video game playing for the dramatic move on the final lap.
“Oh, played a lot of NASCAR 2005 on the GameCube with (younger brother) Chad growing up,” he said. "You can get away with it. I never knew if it would actually work.
“I mean, I did that when I was eight years old. I grabbed fifth gear, asked off of two on the last lap if we needed it, and we did. I couldn’t tell who was leading. I made the choice, grabbed fifth gear down the back. Full committed. Basically let go of the wheel, hoping I didn’t catch the turn four access gate or something crazy. But I was willing to do it.”
Hamlin, while disappointed, was impressed.
“Great move. Brilliant. Certainly a great move. When you have no other choice, it certainly is easy to do that. But well executed,” he said.
Bell passed Chase Briscoe, who also needed to win to advance to the championship, with five laps to go to earn the automatic berth into the championship race. It was Bell who was caught in Bubba Wallace's retaliation of Kyle Larson at Las Vegas and Bell being collected in that crash dropped him to last of the eight drivers.
He knew since then it would take a victory for Bell to race for his first Cup title, and he pulled it off on NASCAR's oldest track.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Justin Fields planted both feet inches from Micah Parsons, and bunny-hopped over the Dallas linebacker who had just recovered a fumble.
The Chicago quarterback wouldn't mind having that moment back.
“It was my fault for just hopping over him,” Fields said. “I should’ve tagged him.”
The Cowboys had the touchdown to prove it, a 36-yard return of David Montgomery's fumble by the reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in the third quarter of a 49-29 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott sure thought Parsons was down, having seen the recovery but immediately heading toward offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to talk about the next series.
Except that Parsons got up, thinking he would be celebrating and instead hearing teammates telling him to run. He took off, stumbled near the goal line and rolled in the end zone to give Dallas a 42-23 lead.
Yes, this is the same Parsons who believes the speed in his dynamic pass-rushing ability translates to just about any skill position.
“Honestly, I'm like, 'Geez, I'm going hear this for a while about how he needs to run the ball or be on offense,'” Prescott said.
“I saw the fumble happen, thought it was down, I was running to talk to Kellen to figure out what was coming and then we looked at each other, 'I guess we're staying on the sideline.'”
Montgomery caught a pass, then lost the ball in the open field. Parsons won a race to the ball with safety Jayron Kearse. He had it corralled on all fours when Fields jumped over him.
“We’ve showed multiple times during the course of our situations tape that we show every Friday that you’ve got to touch guys down,” Bears coach Matt Eberflus said. “With every break there in the scrum, when you see that you’ve got to touch him down.”
Parsons is among the fastest players in NFL history to reach 20 sacks, and has already forced five fumbles thanks mostly to his penchant for getting to the quarterback.
His first career takeaway came with star running back Ezekiel Elliott sidelined by a right knee injury. It was also Parsons' first career TD.
“Zeke said I look just like him,” Parsons said. “I think I definitely deserve a rep now. They can’t say they haven’t seen it in the game. So hopefully I get thrown in on a goal-line package or red zone package.”
Fields and Parsons were workout buddies before the 2021 draft, then went one pick after the other starting with the former Ohio State QB at No. 11 to the Bears.
Now the fellow Big Ten alums (Parsons went to Penn State) are linked by one of the strangest plays of 2022.
“You’ve got to touch him, man,” Chicago right tackle Riley Reiff said. “I kind of had an angle at it. I tried making a play. Obviously, I’m not the most athletic guy out in space. But hats off to them.”
Like Prescott, Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy knows what's coming.
“Obviously very excited, but part of me is annoyed because he wants to be on offense already now,” McCarthy said. “I’m going to have a hard time keeping him out of my office.”
Ah, but the coach already has his rebuttal.
“His ball security is awful,” McCarthy said. “So he still needs to focus on defense.”

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Max Verstappen set the Formula One record for wins in a season Sunday at the Mexico City Grand Prix, where he scored his 14th victory to break the record shared with Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel.
Schumacher set the record in 2004, Vettel tied it in 2013 and Verstappen was tied with the Germans for all of one week following his victory last week at Circuit of the Americas. Paired with wins at Miami, Montreal and now Mexico City, Verstappen swept the North American portion of this year's F1 schedule.
The Dutchman retained his F1 world championship with four races remaining in the season, clinched the constructors championship for Red Bull with three races remaining in the season, and has two races left to thoroughly demolish the wins-in-a-season record.
Red Bull has now won nine consecutive races, tying the team record set in 2013. The team has won 16 of 21 F1 races this season with Verstappen and Sergio Perez, winner at Monaco and Singapore.
Lewis Hamilton finished second for the second consecutive week. He might have had a shot at his first win of the season but Mercedes made the wrong call on a tire change that gave Verstappen control.
Perez finished third on his home track for the second consecutive year — earning deafening cheers even though a Mexican driver has yet to win at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
Perez has been mobbed by adoring fans all week in his return. It began with a demonstration run in his hometown of Guadalajara before he arrived at the circuit, where Perez has been swarmed by crowds as soon as he enters the paddock.
He had to use a back route to get to the Red Bull garage each on-track session as drivers and teams complained most of the weekend that the spectators who had purchased paddock access were too aggressive.
But the fans love their native driver and, before the race, Perez took a ride around the track on the back of a convertible Volkswagen. He often held his hand to his heart to show his appreciation to the 120,000-plus fans.
“It's been incredible, honestly,” Perez told the crowd in Spanish after the race. “Thank you for all the support you've given me this weekend. You're incredible, the best fan base. Thank you.”
The three-day weekend sold out in two minutes earlier this year, and the three-day crowd of 395,902 broke the mark set last year of 371,779. F1 also said ahead of the race that it had extended its contract with the race — often voted most popular among fans — through 2025.
The day belonged to Verstappen, who started from the pole and won for the 34th time in his career. He held the lead at the start as Hamilton passed teammate George Russell for second and Perez also made it past Russell.
Hamilton might have raced for the win and was the leader when he pitted and Mercedes chose the harder, more durable tire compound. Verstappen had a softer and faster tire and Hamilton lacked the speed to challenge for the victory.
Hamilton has two more chances to avoid the first winless season of his career.
Pierre Gassly, meanwhile, earned another two penalty points for running Lance Stroll wide off track and the Frenchman is now one penalty point away from a one-race suspension.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — David Robertson walked off the mound after retiring Miami’s Miguel Rojas in April 2019. He wouldn’t throw another big league pitch for nearly 2 1/2 years.
He was a big bucks bust, his elbow shot less than a month into a $23 million, two-year contract with the Phillies. One surgery, a trip to Japan and three teams later, he’s wearing those high socks on a World Series mound, closing for Philadelphia at age 37.
“Very happy to end up back here in Philly,” he said. “I felt like my first go-around here did not work out well for me or the team. I blew out seven games in and was never able to really show what I could do or be able to help out the club.”
Robertson smiled as teammates filed by him to exchange hand slaps following Friday night’s opener. Robertson got the save for getting the final three outs in a 6-5, 10-inning win, retiring Aledmys Díaz on a game-ending groundout but only after allowing runners to reach second and third. He lived up to the “Houdini” nickname he earned with the New York Yankees, where he succeeded Mariano Rivera as closer.
“He had a tendency to get in trouble and then work his way out of it,” said Phillies manager Rob Thomson, a Yankees coach from 2008-17. “But that’s who he is. He’s got a really calm demeanor and a slow heartbeat and he conveys that throughout the bullpen, so he helps a lot of the younger guys. A lot of guys are going through troubles, he can help them through it.”
A Birmingham native who attended the University of Alabama, Robertson was drafted by the Yankees on the 17th round in the 2006 amateur draft and reached the big leagues two years later. He was a middle reliever during the 2009 title run, getting wins in the Division Series and League Championship Series and making a pair of scoreless appearances against the Phillies in the World Series as the Yankees won the title.
Robertson didn’t return to the Series until this year.
“I feel like a real part of the team,” he said. “In 2009, it was my second year in the league and there was so many superstars on that team that I just tried to kind of stay in the background and enjoy it, but I don’t remember as much of it.”
In his 14th big league season, Robertson has 57 wins and 157 saves. He became a late-inning reliever in 2011, earning his only All-Star trip, was promoted to primary setup man in 2012 and then closer when Rivera retired after the 2013 season. After one year in the role, Robertson left for a $46 million, four-year contract with the Chicago White Sox.
He was dealt back to the Yankees in July 2017. Even on a high-profile team, he was relatively anonymous away from the ballpark, riding the subway to Yankee Stadium wearing a hoodie.
When the contract expired, he became a free agent again and signed with the Phillies. Shut down 2 1/2 weeks into the season with what initially was diagnosed as a strained flexor tendon, Robertson had surgery Aug. 15 with Dr. James Andrews.
“I definitely had a rough road coming back from that injury. I had a little bit more complicated than just the Tommy John. I had flexor repair, as well,” Robertson said. “So my timeline was a lot longer than most people. And I was 34 years old when I had surgery, so it took me a little bit of time to get back. In my mind that wasn’t done, I just needed it that amount of time to get my elbow right to be able to pitch.”
He spent much of 2020 rehabbing, and was shut down after a setback in August. His Phillies contract over, he promised USA Baseball executive director Paul Seiler he would play for the U.S. Olympic team under Mike Scioscia. Robertson had two saves as the Americans won the silver medal.
“It was so hot over there. And even coming from Alabama, the humidity over there was something I hadn’t experienced in a long time,” Robertson said. “You’re playing in 100 degrees with 100% humidity on AstroTurf, and the game was so fast. They had it sped up faster than anything I’ve ever seen. And no fans in the seats, so you could hear everything.”
He signed with Tampa Bay a little more than a week after the Olympics, pitched six times for Triple-A Durham and was back in the majors on Sept. 1, 2021. He pitched 12 regular-season games and three in the Division Series. Then in January, he reached a $3.5 million, one-year deal with the Chicago Cubs that would earn him another $1.6 million in bonuses.
Batters had just one hit in their first 34 at-bats against him this season. With Chicago out of contention, the Phillies acquired him at the trade deadline on Aug. 2 for minor league right-hander Ben Brown.
“He was one of the best relief pitchers in the game of baseball at that point,” Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said. “He’s pitched in big moments in a big market. So we thought if we were going to acquire somebody that can pitch at the back end of the game, he’d feel very comfortable to do that.”
Robertson had six saves in nine chances with a 2.70 ERA for the Phillies and finished the season with 20 saves in 28 chances and a .173 opponents’ batting average along with a 2.40 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. He averaged 93 mph with his cutter, close to his pre-surgery peak.
Then he opened the playoffs by getting the win with a perfect eighth inning against St. Louis in the Wild Card Series opener. He missed the Division Series after hurting his right calf while jumping to celebrate Bryce Harper's home run in the clinching win over the Cardinals.
It took 13 years for Robertson to make it back to baseball’s biggest stage, and he’s enjoying the moment.
“Pretty good adrenaline rush there,” he said the day after getting the Series save. “It turned into a tough inning there, but it always is tough to get those final three outs.”

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Za'Darius Smith had three sacks to help Minnesota's defense hang on against Kyler Murray, and the Vikings beat the Arizona Cardinals 34-26 on Sunday for their fifth consecutive victory.
Dalvin Cook rushed for a season-high 111 yards and a touchdown and Kirk Cousins passed for two scores and ran for another for the Vikings (6-1), who stayed unbeaten at home in coach Kevin O'Connell's rookie year.
Murray passed for 326 yards and a season-high three touchdowns, including a one-handed grab for a score by DeAndre Hopkins with 47 seconds left in the second quarter, but he threw two second-half interceptions that proved costly for the Cardinals (3-5).
The Vikings went 31 yards in four plays for a touchdown after the first one, a dangerous heave by Murray under pressure from his own end zone.
The second pick, a throw way behind Zach Ertz, came on the drive right after Cousins hit K.J. Osborn on third-and-2 from the 5 for a 34-26 lead. That was set up by a fumbled punt return by Greg Dortch at his 25.
Hopkins had 12 catches for 159 yards in his second game back from suspension, Rondale Moore had seven receptions for 92 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown, and Murray's always-dangerous ability to leave the pocket kept an active Vikings defense honest all game.
But the Cardinals crossed midfield on each of their last three possessions over the last half of the fourth quarter while trailing by one score and never got closer than the 37.
Former Cardinals linebacker Jordan Hicks dragged down Eno Benjamin just short of the marker on fourth-and-4 to turn the ball over with 2:39 left. Out of timeouts on their last drive, Murray was sacked by Smith at the 44 with 10 seconds remaining. Then Harrison Phillips brought him down for a big loss on the last play to end the game.
The Vikings have won all 11 matchups in Minneapolis since the Cardinals moved to Arizona in 1988.
FACE IT
Greg Joseph, who missed an extra point for the second straight game, has missed five consecutive field goals at U.S. Bank Stadium. His 56-yard attempt on the final snap of the first half was so low it hit Cardinals nose tackle Leki Fotu in the facemask.
RIDING HIGH
Jared Allen donned a cowboy hat and rode a black horse onto the field at halftime for his induction ceremony for the club’s Ring of Honor. Fans received a fake mullet attached to a headband in tribute to Allen, a three-time All-Pro defensive end in six seasons with the Vikings from 2008-13.
INJURY REPORT
Cardinals: LG Max Garcia (shoulder), who started last week after Justin Pugh's season-ending knee injury, and LT D.J. Humphries (back) were inactive. OLB Dennis Gardeck (ankle) sat out for the second game in a row, RB James Conner (ribs) missed his third straight game, C Rodney Hudson (knee) was sidelined for a fourth consecutive game.
Vikings: Ross Blacklock replaced Jonathan Bullard (illness) at the base DE spot. ... DE Dalvin Tomlinson (calf) left in the third quarter.
UP NEXT
Cardinals: Host Seattle next Sunday, their first of three straight games against NFC West foes.
Vikings: Visit Washington next Sunday, the first trip there for Cousins to face his former team since coming to Minnesota in 2018.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Norton Healthcare is working on developing a community-catered plan for a hospital in west Louisville.
Soon to be Louisville's newest hospital, Norton West Louisville Hospital will be located at the corner of 28th Street and West Broadway in the Parkland neighborhood. it's the first new hospital being built in west Louisville since the U.S. Marine Hospital closed in 1933.
For several months, Norton Healthcare conducted surveys, receiving feedback from residents. Much of the focus on the survey included what community members hoped to see come out of the new development.
The hospital will have 20 inpatient beds, a 24-hour emergency department with 15 beds, four operating rooms, lab services and a chapel.
Officials say more than 4,000 surveys were collected from May 19 to Sept. 1, and the results are in.
"We were able to really gain information that was valuable to us, this survey was a pretty comprehensive survey and we did that because we wanted to make sure that we captured all elements of an individuals experience, what barriers they are facing to make sure the data that we have heard, and we have had in the past is still consistent," said Renee Murphy, Norton Healthcare Senior VP of Communications.
There will also be a primary care, OBGYN care and specialty care clinics inside the hospital.
Goodwill Industries of Kentucky will also open its Opportunity Campus in late 2023, and construction began last month. There will be financial services, child care, job training, an onsite cafeteria, expungement services and mentoring all under one roof. Construction began last month.

- Neighbors excited for new hospital and Goodwill HQ in west Louisville
- Construction begins on Goodwill Opportunity Campus, Norton Hospital in west Louisville
- Norton Healthcare plans $70 million hospital at Goodwill Industries' West End 'Opportunity Campus'
