NFL upholds 4-game suspension of Broncos safety Kareem Jackson, costing him $558K in lost wages

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:56:19 GMT

DENVER (AP) — This time, Kareem Jackson caught no breaks from the NFL, which denied his appeal of his four-game suspension for a high hit on Minnesota Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs that came on his third playback from his first suspension.Hearing officer Derrick Brooks, jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA, upheld the punishment handed down a day earlier. Brooks also heard Jackson's last appeal, for an illegal hit on a Green Bay tight end last month, and cut that four-game suspension in half.Jackson will miss games against the Browns, Texans, Chargers and Lions, the last three on the road, before he's allowed to return against New England on Christmas Eve.His suspension comes at a critical time for the Broncos (5-5), who own the league's longest active winning streak at four games as they try to become just the fourth team to reach the playoffs after starting 1-5.

Where can you shop on Black Friday? Here’s what’s open — and when

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:56:19 GMT

Black Friday is almost upon us, when retailers kick off the holiday season with offers meant to get customers in the shopping mood.The term “Black Friday” in relation to shopping the day after Thanksgiving is most often traced to Philadelphia where police had to deal with large crowds who thronged the streets of the city before the annual Army-Navy game and to take advantage of sales. According to the Dec. 18, 1961, issue of Public Relations News, a newsletter, it became customary for police to refer to post-Thanksgiving shopping as Black Friday and Black Saturday because of the headaches they created.Retailers began taking ownership of the term in the late 1980s as the opening bell for the holidays. Of course Black Friday has morphed more accurately into a month of offers that begin in October, when Halloween jack-o’-lanterns are still flickering.A number of stores that were closed on Thanksgiving, including Walmart and Target, reopen early Friday as the holiday shopping seas...

Chicken wings are on Popeyes menu for good

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:56:19 GMT

Popeyes wants to recapture some of the magic from its chicken sandwich debut with a new line of wings.Starting Wednesday, customers will be able to get Honey BBQ wings, Roasted Garlic Parmesan wings and Signature Hot wings at Popeyes locations across the country, along with the Ghost Pepper and Sweet N’Spicy wings that Popeyes says proved popular when they were sold earlier this year. They go for $5.99 for a pack of six.Back in 2019, Popeyes’ chicken sandwich created a frenzy in the fast food industry, prompting a wave of copycats and became a barometer for success.With wings, Popeyes thinks it can rekindle that enthusiasm, at least in part. And, chicken sandwich aside, it’s a good time to get into the wings game, with cheap eats gaining ground as some customers rein in spending.Wings are here to stayOver the past few years, Popeyes has brought wings to the menu on a limited-time basis. But customer interest has earned the items a lasting place on the menu, Sami Siddiqui, presi...

EU risks coming back empty-handed from China summit

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:56:19 GMT

The European Union and China are so far not planning to issue a joint statement following their much-anticipated summit in December, two European diplomats and an EU official told POLITICO. Although no decision has officially been taken yet, the lack of joint diplomatic commitment would lay bare deepening rifts between the two sides, after the European Commission launched an investigation into subsidies for made-in-China electric vehicles and as it eyes other sectors such as medical devices and wind energy.Since China is hosting the summit, Beijing is supposed to propose the first draft, one of the diplomats said, echoing common practice in international diplomacy (the diplomat, like others in this piece, was granted anonymity to speak freely about the summit). But with only two weeks to go to the gathering and no draft yet in sight, it looks increasingly unlikely that the two sides will arrive at joint commitments by then.European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Euro...

European lawmakers give green light to ‘model’ NZ trade deal

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:56:19 GMT

Lawmakers in the European Parliament on Wednesday signed off on the bloc’s free trade agreement with New Zealand, heralded as Brussels’ gold standard for making its trade deals greener. “This is the most modern agreement that we as a European Union have concluded,” German MEP Daniel Caspary of the center-right European People’s Party, who led work on the deal in the Parliament, told reporters ahead of the vote. “We want to ensure that in the future such high standards will be complied with across the board,” he said, arguing that the agreement should be a “model” for other deals. MEPs approved the agreement by an overwhelming majority of 524 votes in favor, 85 against and 21 abstentions. Brussels and Wellington signed the deal — the first free trade agreement to include the EU’s ambitions on sustainability — in early July. In economic terms, the agreement is relatively small for the EU, but it represents a symbol...

Which modern-day politician is most like Napoleon?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:56:19 GMT

“The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemy’s” — Napoleon Bonaparte, French military commander and political leader. “My, my, at Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender” — Abba, Swedish military historians.All our political leaders want power (whether they admit it or not), but few will manage to secure even a fraction of that achieved — for good or ill — by Napoleon Bonaparte, the subject of a new blockbuster movie out this week. But which of our current crop of leaders — and some from the not-so-distant past — can match up to Napoleon? To find out, we have come up with an entirely non-scientific ranking system, in which we take several of Napoleon’s more famous characteristics to see who best lives up to him.Emmanuel MacronSeriously? If anyone can be described as the modern incarnation of Napoleon, it’s France’s current empe...

Callahan: The Patriots can beat the Giants without a quarterback Sunday

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:56:19 GMT

FOXBORO — As Bill Belichick leads the Patriots in a dance around questions about their starting quarterback this week, here’s one to stop the music: what does it matter?Mac Jones is broken. An intact Bailey Zappe throws interceptions into triple coverage. I have argued for Malik Cunningham to start Sunday, but the fact an undrafted rookie who’s spent most of his NFL career playing receiver represents a compelling option is perhaps most damning.Let’s skip all the reasons how or why the Patriots reached a dead end at quarterback. They live here now. At least for two more months, this is their street.The Giants, of course, are next-door neighbors. After injuries to veteran quarterbacks Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor, undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito jumped from practice-squad intern to full-time starter. DeVito, who couldn’t hold down the starting job at Syracuse, still lives in his childhood home, where his parents do his laundry and cook his food.Not even Mama DeV...
