Nick Saban enjoying his resilient Alabama team even if the ride has been bumpy

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Alabama’s season may have aged coach Nick Saban a bit, but he’s not complaining.Nothing has come easy so far for the ninth-ranked Crimson Tide.Alabama eked out a win over Arkansas, sputtered at South Florida, survived the Mississippi game and needed a huge second-half surge to defeat Tennessee on Saturday and jump back into the top 10.All that’s mostly OK with Saban. Or at least it was in the afterglow of that 34-20 victory over the Volunteers, the team’s sixth straight win.“I love it. It’s been great,” Saban said after the game. “The challenges are great. I enjoy coaching this team. That’s not to say that they’re not taking years off my life, but I’m OK with that.”Alabama (7-1, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) went into its bye week as the only SEC Western Division team without a league loss. Next up: hosting No. 15 LSU, the biggest remaining division challenger, in two weeks.The Tide hadn’t really looked like a national contender from start to...

After a summer of Barbenheimer and Beyoncé, can US consumers still afford the holiday season?

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 06:44:17 GMT

Minneapolis (CNN) — Ballpark attendance boomed this summer, Barbenheimer revived the box office and a Renaissance of live performances brought concerts into new Eras.In mid-2023, Americans’ enduring efforts to satisfy post-pandemic cravings for experiences hit a fever pitch.“Everybody went out on tour,” said Keith Gentili, a 55-year-old New Hampshire resident who saw 13 shows this summer, a total that surpassed what he’d see in an entire year pre-pandemic. “It was like a buffet. The buffet was open.”Consumer spending this year remained strong despite high inflation and rising interest rates.But after the summer of splurge, some economists and consumer analysts anticipate that those and other pressures could cause that resilience to buckle — perhaps meaningfully so — during the critical holiday season.However, it also could mean that holiday spending just might look a little different and skewed more toward experiences than it has done in past years.“I think that, rationally, you wou...

What changed for Mac Jones in Patriots’ first game-winning drive in over two years

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 06:44:17 GMT

FOXBORO — Mac Jones’ message to his Patriots teammates during the defining moment of his season was a simple one.“Take a deep breath, and let’s go do it,” the quarterback said as his offense huddled down by three points with 1:58 left in Sunday’s game against the Bills.Jones has been in these situations and came up short too many times in his NFL career. His last fourth-quarter comeback and game-winning drive was over two years ago on Oct. 10, 2021, against the Texans.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Mac Jones delivers signature win with 29-25 comeback victory over Bills New England Patriots | Patriots make another controversial QB change based on Week 7 inactives New England Patriots | Bill Belichick reportedly agreed to multi-year extension with Patriots before season New England Patriots | Sources project value for Patriots’ trade deadline candidates New England Patriots | ...

Trump denies ‘Kraken’ lawyer Sidney Powell ever worked for him

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 06:44:17 GMT

Former President Donald J. Trump on Sunday said Sidney Powell, who pleaded guilty Thursday in the Georgia elections interference case – and agreed to testify against other defendants – was never a part of his legal team.Powell, of “unleash the kraken” fame, pleaded guilty to six misdemeanor charges in connection with the wide ranging criminal conspiracy case centered around the 45th President playing out in the Peach State. On Sunday, Trump used his social media platform to declare that Powell was not his attorney, but rather was serving as legal counsel for his disgraced former National Security Advisory, Michael Flynn.“Sidney Powell was one of millions and millions of people who thought, and in ever increasing numbers still think, correctly, that the 2020 Presidential Election was RIGGED & STOLLEN, AND OUR COUNTRY IS BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF IT!!! Despite the Fake News reports to the contrary, and without even reaching out to ask the Trump Campaign, MS. POWE...

Sweet 16: Foxboro’s Martinelli joins exclusive group

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 06:44:17 GMT

Foxboro head football coach Jack Martinelli experienced a lot of varying emotions late in Friday’s game against Canton.His team was on the verge of making him the seventh coach in state history to win 300 games, but that wasn’t the only thing on his mind. He was thinking of his players and rejoicing in the fact that they could no longer have to worry about doing something for him.“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t know what (the accomplishment) meant,” Martinelli said after the 35-0 victory. “But I was more mindful of the kids at that time. Now that this is off their plates, they can experience their own ride from here on out and not worry about (the 300 wins).”In the middle of a special achievement, Martinelli was more concerned about his players instead of himself. Brad Sidwell has been coaching in the Hockomock League since 1994 at Franklin and now at Taunton. He says Martinelli is a legend both on and off the field.“I look forward to running into him at lea...
