Rams looking at first, second downs to fix third-down issuesSome quotations from Jimmy Carter . We have a tendency to exalt ourselves and to dwell on the weaknesses and mistakes of others. I have come to realize that in every person there is something fine and pure and noble, along with a desire for self-fulfillment. Political and religious leaders must attempt to provide a society within which these human attributes can be nurtured and enhanced. — from 1975 book “Why Not the Best?” Our government can express the highest common ideals of human beings — if we demand of government true standards of excellence. At this Bicentennial time of introspection and concern, we must demand such standards. — “Why Not the Best?” I am a Southerner and an American, I am a farmer, an engineer, a father and husband, a Christian, a politician and former governor, a planner, a businessman, a nuclear physicist, a naval officer, a canoeist, and among other things a lover of Bob Dylan’s songs and Dylan Thomas’s poetry. — “Why Not the Best?” Christ said, “I tell you that anyone who looks on a woman with lust has in his heart already committed adultery.” I’ve looked on a lot of women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. This is something that God recognizes I will do — and I have done it — and God forgives me for it. But that doesn’t mean that I condemn someone who not only looks on a woman with lust but who leaves his wife and shacks up with somebody out of wedlock. — Interview, November 1976 Playboy. This inauguration ceremony marks a new beginning, a new dedication within our Government, and a new spirit among us all. A President may sense and proclaim that new spirit, but only a people can provide it. — Inaugural address, January 1977. It’s clear that the true problems of our nation are much deeper — deeper than gasoline lines or energy shortages, deeper even than inflation and recession. ... All the legislation in the world can’t fix what’s wrong with America. ... It is a crisis of confidence. — So-called “malaise” speech, July 1979. But we know that democracy is always an unfinished creation. Each generation must renew its foundations. Each generation must rediscover the meaning of this hallowed vision in the light of its own modern challenges. For this generation, ours, life is nuclear survival; liberty is human rights; the pursuit of happiness is a planet whose resources are devoted to the physical and spiritual nourishment of its inhabitants. — Farewell Address, January 1981. We appreciate the past. We are grateful for the present and we’re looking forward to the future with great anticipation and commitment. — October 1986, at the dedication of the Carter Presidential Library and Museum. War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn to live together in peace by killing each other’s children. — December 2002, Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech. Fundamentalists have become increasingly influential in both religion and government, and have managed to change the nuances and subtleties of historic debate into black-and-white rigidities and the personal derogation of those who dare to disagree. ... The influence of these various trends poses a threat to many of our nation’s historic customs and moral commitments, both in government and in houses of worship. — From 2005 book “Our Endangered Values.” I think that this breakthrough by Barack Obama has been remarkable. When he made his speech (on race) a few months ago in Philadelphia, I wept. I sat in front of the television and cried, because I saw that as the most enlightening and transforming analysis of racism and a potential end of it that I ever saw in my life. — August 2008, commenting on then-Sen. Barack Obama’s candidacy. I think it’s based on racism. There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president. ... No matter who he is or how much we disagree with his policies, the president should be treated with respect. — September 2009, reacting to Rep. Joe Wilson’s shout of “You lie!” during a speech to Congress by President Barack Obama. I’m still determined to outlive the last guinea worm. — 2010, on The Carter Center’s work to eradicate guinea worm disease. You know how much I raised to run against Gerald Ford? Zero. You know how much I raised to run against Ronald Reagan? Zero. You know how much will be raised this year by all presidential, Senate and House campaigns? $6 billion. That’s 6,000 millions. — September 2012, reacting to the 2010 “Citizens United” U.S. Supreme Court decision permitting unlimited third-party political spending. I have become convinced that the most serious and unaddressed worldwide challenge is the deprivation and abuse of women and girls, largely caused by a false interpretation of carefully selected religious texts and a growing tolerance of violence and warfare, unfortunately following the example set during my lifetime by the United States. — From 2014 book “A Call to Action.” I don’t think there’s any doubt now that the NSA or other agencies monitor or record almost every telephone call made in the United States, including cellphones, and I presume email as well. We’ve gone a long way down the road of violating Americans’ basic civil rights, as far as privacy is concerned. — March 2014, commenting on U.S. intelligence monitoring after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks We accept self-congratulations about the wonderful 50th anniversary - which is wonderful - but we feel like Lyndon Johnson did it and we don’t have to do anything anymore. — April 2014, commenting on racial inequality during a celebration of the Civil Rights Act’s 40th anniversary. I had a very challenging question at Emory (University) the other night: “How would you describe the United States of America today in one word?” And I didn’t know what to say for a few moments, but I finally said, “Searching.” I think the country in which we live is still searching for what it ought to be, and what it can be, and I’m not sure we’re making much progress right at this moment. — October 2014 during a celebration of his 90th birthday. The life we have now is the best of all. We have an expanding and harmonious family, a rich life in our church and the Plains community, and a diversity of projects at The Carter Center that is adventurous and exciting. Rosalynn and I have visited more than 145 countries, and both of us are as active as we have ever been. We are blessed with good health and look to the future with eagerness and confidence, but are prepared for inevitable adversity when it comes. — From 2015 book, “A Full Life.”

Savion Williams rushed for two touchdowns and Josh Hoover threw for 252 yards as TCU pulled away from Arizona in the second half, winning 49-28 on Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas. The Horned Frogs (7-4, 5-3 Big 12) scored touchdowns on five consecutive possessions, starting late in the first half after the Wildcats (4-7, 2-6) pulled within 14-13. Williams carried nine times for 80 yards, scoring on runs of 1 and 20 yards in the first half. Hoover completed 19 of 26 passes, with one touchdown and one interception, before being pulled midway through the fourth quarter when the Frogs were up by 21. TCU took control after leading 21-13 at halftime, going up 35-13 on a 38-yard reception to JP Richardson midway through the third. Arizona kept its hopes alive, ending a 15-play, 75-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Chris Hunter on fourth down on the first play of the fourth quarter. The two-point conversion made it 35-21. But the Horned Frogs responded with another TD drive, capped by a 6-yard run by Cam Cook for a 42-21 advantage. Arizona added a 70-yard fumble return touchdown with one minute to go for the game's final score. Tetairoa McMillan caught nine passes for 115 yards to become the Arizona career leader in receiving yardage with 3,355. He surpassed his receivers coach, Bobby Wade (3,351), at the top spot. The Wildcats' Noah Fifita completed 29 of 44 passes for 284 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, which happened on the game's first snap. TCU promptly scored on a 4-yard run by Trent Battle, and Williams added a 1-yard TD run late in the first quarter for a 14-0 lead. But the Wildcats fought back, getting a 17-yard touchdown reception by Hunter and field goals of 53 and 43 yards from Tyler Loop to climb within 14-13 with 1:55 go before halftime. That's almost how the half ended, but the Horned Frogs converted third-and-18 on the ensuing drive and then gained 24 yards on third-and-25 to the Arizona 20. That set up a 20-yard run by Williams on fourth-and-1 with 13 seconds left for a 21-13 lead. --Field Level Media
Haitian vigilantes deal major blow to gang leader ‘Barbecue’ in furious battle
While Joe Burrow ranks second among current NFL quarterbacks, his performance isn’t translating into team success. The Cincinnati Bengals are currently 4-7, with their playoff hopes hanging by a thread. Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly Stafford, sees the situation and is reminded of her husband’s time in Detroit, where he faced a similar scenario himself. On the recent episode of her podcast, ‘Morning After,’ she talked about the Week 11 matchups and the Bengals’ 34-27 loss to the Chargers made her heart go out to Burrow. “Also, I am a little heartbroken for Joe Burrow,” Kelly said, before sharing how Burrow’s situation reminded her of Stafford’s time in Detroit. “To be honest, it is reminding me of when Matthew played on the Lions for a bit.” Kelly felt empathy for Burrow, as he has the skill set of an elite quarterback but will likely face backlash due to the team’s poor performance this season. Something she seemingly believes Matthew experienced with the Detroit Lions. She further shared that she had even texted her husband about how she “feels” for the young QB, adding, “So I texted Matthew and I was ‘I kind of feel like I feel for him. Because I felt for you in those times.'” Kelly’s words resonated with the majority of fans, who poured their thoughts into empathizing with the quarterback. An internet user even compared Burrow’s situation with the Chargers’ Justin Herbert. However, many NFL fans weren’t convinced by Kelly’s comparison of Burrow to Stafford, believing that the Bengals’ signal-caller is in a different league altogether. Kelly has been candid about Stafford’s time with the Lions and how the negativity surrounding his move to the Rams affected his family. The quarterback played 12 seasons in Detroit, where he managed to lead the team to the playoffs thrice with no postseason wins. However, after being traded to the Rams in 2021, he went on to lift the Lombardi Trophy in his debut season. Kelly recounted how in the Rams’ first matchup against Detroit on the road, the home fans booed not only Stafford but also Kelly and their daughters. On her podcast, the QB’s wife shared that while she wasn’t especially surprised at her husband getting the fans’ wrath, it was certainly shocking when she and the kids became the target. “My girls and I are not playing the game,” said Kelly. “I know that my girls are not getting booed. I am, and I can handle it. But when I have my girls next to me, there’s something to be said of like, maybe not?” Matthew Stafford has proved his mettle in the NFL ever since his switch to Los Angeles, even earning the tag for “ the throw of the year ” in this season’s game against his former home. As for Burrow, the quarterback has become a legitimate contender for the MVP race, but he needs to convert his QB prowess into wins and secure a playoff berth to silence the critics.Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler is determined to find the "right solution" for Evan Ferguson amid reports the striker could leave on loan during the January transfer window. Republic of Ireland international Ferguson has been restricted to just two Premier League starts for the Seagulls this season. The 20-year-old, who missed Friday evening's 0-0 draw with Brentford due to an ankle issue, has made a further 10 substitute appearances in the top flight, scoring once. Hurzeler insists he is "really happy" to have Ferguson at the Amex Stadium but suggested the player's future is being discussed. "At first, I think he needs to get back on the pitch," Hurzeler said of Ferguson ahead of Monday's trip to Aston Villa. "The rumours, I won’t discuss them in public. "I think it’s very important the player knows our idea, that we know the idea from the player and then it’s most important to be honest with each other, to find the right solution for the club and in the end also for the player. "I’m really happy that Evan is in our squad and I’m hoping that he will be back on the pitch as soon as possible." In Ferguson's absence, Brighton's winless run was stretched to six league matches by a frustrating stalemate against the Bees. Five of those results have come against teams in the bottom half of the division, with the Seagulls dropping from second spot to mid-table amid the poor run. Hurzeler, who has masterminded wins over Manchester United, Tottenham and Manchester City since succeeding Roberto De Zerbi in the summer, has mixed feelings about his first half a season in English football. "When we look at the games we had, for sure we should be disappointed because we have other ambitions," said the 31-year-old German. "We want to finish the games with different results. "But in the end we know that it will be a process, we had a lot of changes in the summer. We have a really, really young squad and therefore we have to give them time. "We know that a process is not always linear. You will do a process in waves and then you have to work hard for it and that’s why there are pros and cons where you can say there was a good half-season or a bad half-season. "We just try to focus on the process, try to improve, try to be more consistent in the way we get results and then I’m quite positive we will play a good second half of the season." Unai Emery's Villa sit only two points above Brighton as they balance domestic duties with their Champions League exploits. "They had also a tough period, now they are getting more and more back to shape," Hurzeler said of Villa. "They had some great games already in the Champions League, they have a clear style of play. "Emery has a big impact on Aston Villa’s philosophy, they have great individual players. "I heard a lot about the atmosphere there so it will be a great opportunity for us to improve and to show our identity."Boys and Girls Bowling preview, 2024-25: Everything so far with more to come
