Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:03:12 GMT

The NFL on Monday brought the hammer down on Broncos safety Kareem Jackson, suspending him for four games without pay for a series of unnecessary roughness penalties.The latest in a string of hits that have drawn penalties and fines came Sunday against Green Bay when Jackson hit Packers tight end Luke Musgrave high.Jackson made contact shoulder pad to shoulder pad, but also got the crown of his helmet across Musgrave’s facemask.Regardless of the helmet-to-helmet contact, too, Musgrave was ruled to be a defenseless receiver because he had not yet turned into a runner after the catch.In informing Jackson of his suspension, NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan wrote, “On the play in question, you delivered a forceful blow to the head/neck area of a defenseless receiver, when you had the time and space to avoid such contact.

Striking actors, studios to resume talks Tuesday

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:03:12 GMT

It's been more than 100 days since actors joined writers in striking against movie and television producers, and while writers are back to work, the actors have yet to reach a deal. But that's not to say it's a hopeless situation.SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers are set to resume discussions on Tuesday. An impasse led to a halt in talks earlier this month.The most daunting issue appears to be revenue sharing from streaming, something studio executives have rejected. Another issue that's proven contentious is the use of artificial intelligence. Specifically, SAG-AFTRA is worried studios will enable the "reuse of actor likenesses using cutting-edge rendering technologies" without compensating the performers for what would have been more work in the past, Variety reports.Americans generally support the strikers, but that public sentiment has thus far not been enough to bring the sides together.It remains to be seen if the time away from the negotiat...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:03:12 GMT

Californians know better than to dream of a white Christmas, but many Golden State residents might not need to bust out a coat this holiday season. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released its predictions Thursday for the next three months, showing most of California is in for above-average temperatures through the end of the year. A large swath of the country, seen on the map below, is shaded in orange, indicating a higher probability of above-average temperatures between November and January. Far northern California is most likely to see a warm winter. The Bay Area has a 40% to 50% chance of above-average heat, while most of Southern California has a 33% to 40% chance. The parts of the U.S. most likely to be unseasonably warm are New England and the Pacific Northwest, which is consistent with the El Niño pattern we're expecting.El Niño can also make for a wet winter in California, especially the southern half of the state. However, this year the rain chances ar...
