Matthew Stafford’s injured thumb could be a major blow to Rams’ faint hopes of contending this year

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:25:49 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matthew Stafford has an injured thumb, and another season appears to be slipping through the Los Angeles Rams’ fingers.Stafford hurt himself while fighting for extra points on two plays in the Rams’ 40-23 loss at Dallas on Sunday. The Rams didn’t give an official update on his condition early Monday, but a significant absence for their franchise quarterback would seriously imperil any hope of avoiding their second straight losing season under Sean McVay.That’s because the Rams (3-5) have lost two straight measuring-stick games to the Steelers and the Cowboys, two opponents that appear to belong in the playoff race. That’s where the Rams thought they could be last month before they were brought back to reality by the consequences of their offseason roster gutting.Instead, the Rams have lost five of their last seven games, beating only the Colts and Cardinals. They were blown out by the Cowboys, falling behind 26-3 before they had even ...

Even when teams know it’s coming, they’re not stopping Dolphins’ deep passes from Tua to Tyreek

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:25:49 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tua Tagovailoa clutched the ball and dropped back to pass near the 50-yard line as receiver Tyreek Hill blew past double coverage. With two defenders running at full speed but still several steps behind Hill, Tagovailoa launched the ball in Hill’s direction. Touchdown, Miami.A downfield pass from Tagovailoa to Hill is certain to happen at some point each week. Still, it puzzled the Patriots in the first quarter of Sunday’s 31-17 win by the Dolphins. Miami will need its top players to keep performing when it faces the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs this week in Frankfurt, Germany.“Tua did a fantastic job of selling the fake,” Hill said, “the corner and the safety bit up, and the rest was history.”Just as important as the play itself was that it came on a drive after Tagovailoa had thrown an interception.Tagovailoa has made it a point of emphasis to respond better to in-game mistakes, and it was the second time in three games that he had ...

Disney warns that if DeSantis wins lawsuit, others will be punished for ‘disfavored’ views

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:25:49 GMT

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — If Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wins a federal lawsuit in which Disney claims its free speech rights were violated by the Republican leader, the company won’t be the last entity to be punished over supporting a “disfavored viewpoint,” Disney said in court papers on Monday.The First Amendment protects the right of free speech even if it goes against government powers, Disney said in court documents asking a judge to reject DeSantis’ motion to dismiss the entertainment giant’s First Amendment lawsuit in Tallahassee.The Disney lawsuit says DeSantis unconstitutionally revamped and took over Walt Disney World’s governing district in retaliation after Disney publicly opposed a state law banning classroom lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades. The law was championed by DeSantis, who currently is running for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.Before the takeover by DeSantis appointees earlier this year, the district had been contro...

Webb telescope spots never-before-seen feature in Jupiter’s atmosphere

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:25:49 GMT

(CNN) — Jupiter was one of the first targets observed by the James Webb Space Telescope when it initially turned its infrared gaze on the universe in July 2022. After capturing stunning images that surpassed the expectations of astronomers, the space observatory has now revealed a never-before-seen feature in the gas giant’s atmosphere.Researchers used Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, or NIRCam, to take a series of images of Jupiter 10 hours apart, applying four different filters to detect changes in the planet’s atmosphere. Infrared light is invisible to the human eye, and the Webb telescope’s unprecedented capabilities have been used over the past year to spot many newly observed celestial features, such as megaclusters of young stars and unexpected pairs of planetlike objects.The astronomers spied a high-speed jet stream in Jupiter’s lower stratosphere, an atmospheric layer about 25 miles (40 kilometers) above the clouds. The jet stream, which sits over ...

Ticker: Google defends search dominance; Pharmacists start sick-out

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:25:49 GMT

Testifying in the biggest U.S. antitrust case in a quarter century, Google CEO Sundar Pichai defended his company’s practice of paying Apple and other tech companies to make Google the default search engine on their devices, saying the intent was to make the user experience “seamless and easy.”The Department of Justice contends that Google — a company whose very name is synonymous with scouring the internet — pays off tech companies to lock out rival search engines to smother competition and innovation.According to court documents the government entered into the record last week, the payments came to more than $26 billion in 2021, a year in which operating expenses for Google’s parent company, Alphabet, were nearly $68 billion.Google contends that it dominates the market because its search engine is better than the competition’s. “We are working very, very hard for any given query we provide the best experience,” Pichai said. “ThatR...
