Answers by Brendan Darby, Former NFL Player What does it mean to “put a hat on a hat?” “Hat” is something nearly every football coach says instead of “helmet.” Not really sure why.Tweetable version: Blocking every defender that the blocking scheme calls for.Simple version: “Putting a hat on a hat” does not actually mean “play[ing] hard-nosed football”, it refers to assignments. If everyone’s assignment is correct (meaning they know who they’re blocking when they come to the line of scrimmage), and they’re able to execute on their blocks, the result is almost always positive for the offense and coach is happy that his players “put a hat on a hat”....

Pfeiffer told Politico that “people should take [Sanders] very seriously.” He said that Sanders has very good chances in the states with early primaries and caucuses. “He has a very good shot of winning Iowa, a very good shot of winning New Hampshire, and other than Joe Biden, the best shot of winning Nevada,” said Pfeiffer, noting that these early odds improved Sanders’ chances going forward. “He could build a real head of steam heading into South Carolina and Super Tuesday,” a Tuesday early in the primaries where the most states hold primaries and caucuses....

Ada Tsang Yin-hung, 44, reached the summit of the world’s highest peak in a record-breaking 25 hours and 50 minutes last Sunday, according to Everest base camp’s government liaison officer. This was well clear of the previous record of Nepali Phunjo Jhangmu Lama who had completed the ascent in 39 hours 6 minutes in 2017. “She left the base camp at 1:20 pm on Saturday and reached (the top at) 3:10 pm the next day,” Gyanendra Shrestha told Agence France Presse....

The statement, signed by 19 former federal law enforcement officials, came just before Trump delivered public remarks for the first time since early Wednesday morning, when he prematurely declared himself winner of the general election.

Lawson posted a cryptic message on his Instagram story Monday in which he seemed to call out UNC coach Roy Williams. “Who talks s— about someone who won them a championship …” Lawson wrote in his Instagram story. “(You’re) weird… I got messages from 10 NBA GMs that said it came out your mouth … That’s why I don’t f— with Carolina or support anything y’all do.” “It’s a blessing I don’t open my mouth about s—,” Lawson continued in a second post....

Ranieri responds to Leicester sacking The Dutch youngster is represented by agent Mino Raiola, who has become notorious for making millions out of transfer deals over the past few years. He recently brokered the move which saw Manchester United re-sign Paul Pogba for a world record £89 million and netted himself £24m in the process. If Arsenal have hopes of blooding Malen in the first team then he could be an expensive and difficult player to keep judging by his agent’s previous form....

When To Do a Press Release The first thing you need to get publications to take you seriously is a reason to do an announcement. Immediacy is key—that’s why they call it news. Make sure whatever you’re announcing is attached to something “new” that happened. You’ll want to develop some ongoing relationships with editors who are a priority for your industry and correspond with them directly via email. Spread announcements out by at least a few weeks to maximize coverage or editors will pick and choose which ones to cover....

Not only is that case still unsolved, a lawsuit brought by the victim, Alexander Bradley, against Hernandez has yet to go to trial. As was the case when the civil suit was filed in federal court in June 2013 — a week before Hernandez was arrested for Odin Lloyd’s murder in Massachusetts — Bradley has not pressed charges against Hernandez, but has named him as the shooter in the suit....

Doocy made the comment on the Fox News morning show Fox & Friends as he and his co-hosts interviewed GOP Representative Doug Collins of Georgia. “According to Fox News there are – in the transcript, that we’re gonna see later today, there are a few words in the transcript that will raise eyebrows, but it’s not nearly as bad as the Democrats say,” Doocy said during the segment, after Collins had lashed out at Democrats....

Al Haymon’s goal for Premier Boxing Champions has now become a reality. RingTV.com is reporting that PBC and Fox have agreed to a multi-year deal starting in December. The network will pay PBC in excess of $60 million a year for 10 “championship-level” fights on Fox and an additional 12 fight cards to air on Fox Sports 1.

Trump has insisted repeatedly that the call between him and President Volodymyr Zelensky was “perfect,” and Conway reiterated this White House defense during a Thursday morning segment of Fox & Friends. “The whole world has access to the call,” the Trump aide said. “The transcript was released five weeks ago. It was released so the whole world can see the call.” “Go read the transcript, everyone,” she said, after insisting the call didn’t mention anything about the president’s Democratic political rivals or the 2020 election....

The 90-second advertisement released Saturday warns that violent radical right-wing extremists of the past, including David Koresh and Timothy McVeigh, are now being created by the “angry advocates of division and conspiracy” seen on Fox News and among congressional Republicans. The liberal super PAC ad promoting a “#ResignRepublican” hashtag flashes images of Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and Jeanine Pirro as evidence of today’s “poisonous” conservative voices. The MeidasTouch founders, the Meiselas brothers—Ben, Brett and Jordan—launched MeidasTouch as a blog in March 2020 before turning it into one of the most lucrative, yet somehow controversial, progressive voices amplifying anti-Donald Trump action....
