Much was made about Michigan's attempted flag planting after its 13-10 win over Ohio State in Columbus in Week 14. Players from both teams met in an altercation at midfield, resulting in the use of pepper spray by the police, and the Big Ten fined each school $100,000 for their role in the incident. That seemed like the end of it, until Wolverines coach Sherrone Moore was shown on the jumbotron at the Michigan men's basketball game against Iowa on Saturday. Moore took one last opportunity to needle Ohio State. In the first half, the game ops team at Crisler Arena pointed the camera at Moore, and he did the rest. Moore fired up the crowd before pretending to plant a flag. Sherrone Moore hypes up the faithful Michigan crowd and emphatically plants an imaginary flag. The crowd liked it, to say the least. pic.twitter.com/xbakn2pxsn Moore addressed the flag-planting fracas immediately after the game last weekend, saying emotions got the best of both sides. He also admitted Michigan could have handled the situation differently. "Our guys, I did see they had the flag," Moore said. "Guys were waving it around, and their guys charged us. There was emotion on both sides, and it can't happen. Rivalry games get heated, especially this one. This is the biggest one in the country. We gotta handle that better." Clearly, Moore wasn't quite ready to put the win or the beef to bed just yet. That was probably a good thing for the Michigan basketball team, which needed every bit of energy the Crisler Center had to offer. The Wolverines pulled out an 85-83 win over the Hawkeyes thanks to Roddy Gayle Jr.'s game-winning bucket with just three seconds left.Overhauls of 'heritage brands' raise the question: How important are our products to our identities?Starbucks Corp. stock rises Wednesday, still underperforms market

By KEVIN FREKING WASHINGTON (AP) — National defense would see a 1% increase in spending this fiscal year under a Pentagon policy bill that also gives a double-digit pay raise to about half of the enlisted service members in the military.

Here’s how China plans to fight back The measure is traditionally strongly bipartisan, but not this year as some Democratic lawmakers protest the inclusion of a ban on transgender medical treatments for children of military members if such treatment could result in sterilization. The bill is expected to pass the House Wednesday and then move to the Senate, where lawmakers had sought a bigger boost in defense spending than the $895.2 billion authorized in the compromise measure before them. Lawmakers are touting the bill’s 14.5% pay raise for junior enlisted service members and a 4.5% increase for others as key to improving the quality of life for those serving in the U.S. military. Those serving as junior enlisted personnel are in pay grades that generally track with their first enlistment term. Lawmakers said their pay has failed to remain competitive with the private sector, forcing many military families to rely on food banks and government assistance programs to put food on the table. The bill also provides significant new resources for child care and housing. “No service member should have to live in squalid conditions and no military family should have to rely on food stamps to feed their children, but that’s exactly what many of our service members are experiencing, especially the junior enlisted,” said Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. “This bill goes a long way to fixing that.” The bill sets key Pentagon policy that lawmakers will attempt to fund through a follow-up appropriations bill. The overall spending tracks the numbers established in a 2023 agreement that then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached with President Joe Biden to increase the nation’s borrowing authority and avoid a federal default in exchange for spending restraints. Many senators had wanted to increase defense spending some $25 billion above what was called for in that agreement, but those efforts failed. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., who is expected to serve as the next chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the overall spending level was a “tremendous loss for our national defense,” though he agreed with many provisions within the bill. “We need to make a generational investment to deter the Axis of Aggressors. I will not cease work with my congressional colleagues, the Trump administration, and others until we achieve it,” Wicker said. House Republicans don’t want to go above the McCarthy-Biden agreement for defense spending and are looking to go way below it for many non-defense programs. They are also focused on cultural issues. The bill prohibits funding for teaching critical race theory in the military and prohibits TRICARE health plans from covering gender dysphoria treatment for children under 18 that could result in sterilization. Rep. Adam Smith of Washington state, the ranking Democratic member of the House Armed Services Committee, said minors dealing with gender dysphoria is a “very real problem.” He said the treatments available, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy, have proven effective at helping young people dealing with suicidal thoughts, anxiety and depression. “These treatments changed their lives and in many cases saved their lives,” Smith said. “And in this bill, we decided we’re going to bar servicemembers’ children from having access to that.” Smith said the number of minors in service member families receiving transgender medical care is in the thousands. He said he could have supported a study asking medical experts to determine whether such treatments are too often used, but a ban on health insurance coverage went too far. He said Speaker Mike Johnson’s office insisted upon the ban. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, called the ban a step in the right direction, saying “I think these questions need to be pulled out of the debate of defense, so we can get back to the business of defending the United States of America without having to deal with social engineering debates.” Smith said he agrees with Roy that lawmakers should be focused on the military and not on cultural conflicts, “and yet, here it is in this bill.” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic leader, said his team was not telling Democrat how to vote on the bill. He said he was still evaluating the legislation as of Wednesday morning. “There’s a lot of positive things in the National Defense Authorization Act that were negotiated in a bipartisan way, and there are some troubling provisions in a few areas as well,” Jeffries said. The defense policy bill also looks to strengthen deterrence against China. It calls for investing $15.6 billion to build military capabilities in the Indo-Pacific region. The Biden administration had requested about $10 billion. On Israel, the bill, among other things, includes an expansion of U.S. joint military exercises with Israel and a prohibition on the Pentagon citing casualty data from Hamas. The defense policy bill is one of the final measures that lawmakers view as a must-pass before making way for a new Congress in January. The Senate is expected to take up the legislation next week. It then would move to President Joe Biden’s desk to be signed into law.

As the 49ers head to Green Bay to play the Packers, the status of their quarterback is up in the air. Brock Purdy has been dealing with a shoulder injury all week, making it unclear if he will play Sunday. Purdy has started every game this season and is the only quarterback to throw a pass for the 49ers in 2024. San Francisco faces a crucial game against the Packers, as the 49ers are fighting for playoff positioning in the NFC. If Purdy can't go on Sunday, it would be a huge loss. Here is the latest on his status ahead of Sunday's game. NFL HQ: Live NFL scores | Updated NFL standings | Full NFL schedule Is Brock Purdy playing this week? Purdy will miss this week's game against the Packers, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan announced Friday. The game will mark the first time this year that Purdy will not start at quarterback. Shanahan said he was "surprised" by Purdy's lack of progress throughout the week. BREAKING: Brock Purdy (shoulder) ruled OUT vs Packers. Kyle Shanahan says the lack of progress throughout the week “surprised him and surprised us.” pic.twitter.com/FzQxpY5QAl Purdy popped up on the 49ers injury report with a right shoulder injury after playing the entire Week 11 game against the Seahawks. While it is unclear when Purdy first suffered the injury, head coach Shanahan called him "day-to-day" on Monday. From there, Purdy was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, as the quarterback had to leave practice Thursday after participating to start. On Friday, Purdy did not practice at all, which was a precursor to San Francisco ruling him out. WEEK 12 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/ST | Kickers 49ers QB depth chart Rank Name No. 1 Brock Purdy No. 2 Brandon Allen No. 3 Josh Dobbs Allen is behind Purdy on the depth chart and in line since Purdy's injury is too serious for him to play. The well-traveled veteran has started nine games in his NFL career and has 10 touchdowns and six interceptions. Behind Allen is Dobbs, who has more recent starting experience, having started 12 games just last year between the Cardinals and Vikings. In his 2023 season, Dobbs threw for 2,464 passing yards with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Allen has spent the year as the primary backup, so he will ascend to start on Sunday. Dobbs will most likely be the backup, but he has more starting experience than most third-string quarterbacks typically have.
