Will Travis Kelce be latest player Bill Belichick tries to ‘neutralize’ in Patriots-Chiefs?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:31:19 GMT

FOXBORO — Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce should be preparing for a frustrating day at the office Sunday as he gets set to face off against a Bill Belichick-coached Patriots defense.Belichick openly acknowledged that the Patriots had a plan to “neutralize” edge defender T.J. Watt and wide receiver George Pickens in last week’s 21-18 win over the Steelers. It worked. Watt was held to just five tackles and one tackle for loss while facing off mostly against right tackle Mike Onwenu. Watt did get injured on the first play of the game but was on the field for most of the contest. After the game, he was diagnosed with a concussion but has since cleared protocol. Pickens caught just five passes on six targets for 19 yards.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots impending free agent open to re-signing this offseason New England Patriots | Patriots reportedly down two offensive starters at Thursday practice New England Patriots | 98.5’s...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:31:19 GMT

By JAKE OFFENHARTZ (Associated Press)NEW YORK (AP) — A Manhattan jury will soon decide if Jonathan Majors is guilty of assaulting his girlfriend following two weeks of clashing narratives about whether the rising Hollywood star was the aggressor or victim during a chaotic struggle in the backseat of a car.The court case has centered on allegations brought by Grace Jabbari, a 30-year-old British dancer who said the “Creed III” actor struck her on the side of the head, twisted her arm behind her back, and squeezed her finger until it broke during a dispute last spring. In closing arguments that ended before lunch on Thursday, an attorney for Majors portrayed Jabbari as a compulsive liar who concocted a story of an abusive relationship as revenge after catching her boyfriend of two years texting another woman.The 34-year-old actor, who did not testify during the trial, dabbed his eyes with a tissue as his attorney, Priya Chaudhry, implored the jury to “end this ...

REVIEW: finestkind is a crime drama of the finest kind

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:31:19 GMT

Crime dramas are a genre older than the medium of film. The genre’s tropes are a good way of heightening tension, taking a situation and making the stakes much more dire very quickly. When characters we like are worried about the law, the audience worries about them. Tommy Lee Jones as Ray, Toby Wallace as Charlie, Jenna Ortega as Mabel and Ben Foster as Tom in Finestkind streaming on Paramount+, 2023. Photo Credit: Miller Mobley/Paramount+With his latest film finestkind, director Brian Helgeland (the director of Legend and A Knight’s Tale) makes a fantastic crime drama out of a setting not terribly well-represented in modern filmmaking, commercial fishing boats. This film is about two half-brothers played by Ben Foster (from Hell or High Water) and Toby Wallace (from the Royal Hotel) who begin to reconnect as the latter joins up with the former’s commercial fishing crew. But as the two continue to work together, the times turn tough and the two find themselves hav...

Virginia court revives lawsuit by teacher fired for refusing to use transgender student’s pronouns

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:31:19 GMT

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A lawsuit filed by a Virginia high school teacher who was fired after he refused to use a transgender student’s pronouns was reinstated Thursday by the state Supreme Court. Peter Vlaming, a former French teacher at West Point High School, sued the school board and administrators at West Point High School after he was fired in 2018. A judge dismissed the lawsuit before any evidence was heard in the case. But the Supreme Court overturned that ruling and said the lawsuit can proceed to trial.Vlaming claimed in his lawsuit that he tried to accommodate a transgender student in his class by using his masculine name and avoiding the use of pronouns, but the student, his parents and the school told him he was required to use the student’s male pronouns.Vlaming said he could not use the student’s pronouns because of his “sincerely held religious and philosophical” beliefs “that each person’s sex is biologically fixed and cannot be changed.” Vlaming also said he wou...

OTTAWA — Legislation that lifts GST charges off rental developments and amends the country’s competition law has passed in the Senate and is poised to become law.Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland introduced the legislation this fall in response to growing concerns about housing and affordability in the country.The federal government is lifting GST charges off rental developments to incentivize developers to build more purpose-built rentals, a segment of the housing supply that experts say is in very short supply.The legislation also aims to boost competition in the country by giving new powers to the Competition Bureau.It will be empowered to compel information from companies to conduct market studies and block collaborations that stifle competition and consumer choice.It would also eliminate the “efficiencies defence” in the Competition Act, which allowed for anti-competitive mergers to be approved in cases where the efficiencies generated offset the competitive ...
