NoneDowntown Bryan Lighted Christmas parade comes marching into town ThursdayThe midseason four-game winning streak that lifted the Arizona Cardinals into the playoff picture seemed as though it happened fast. Their subsequent free fall has been even more jarring. The Cardinals could have moved into a tie for first place in the NFC West with a home win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Instead, they were thoroughly outplayed in a 30-18 loss and are now tied for last in the tightly packed division. Arizona has lost three straight and will face an uphill battle to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2021. The Seahawks (8-5) are in first place, followed by the Rams (7-6), Cardinals (6-7) and 49ers (6-7). Even more daunting for their playoff hopes, the Cardinals lost both of their games against the Seahawks this season, meaning a tiebreaker would go to Seattle. Four games remain. “I just told them we put ourselves in a little bit of a hole now, but all you can do is attack tomorrow, learn tomorrow and have a good week of practice,” second-year coach Jonathan Gannon said. There are plenty of reasons the Cardinals lost to the Seahawks, including Kyler Murray's two interceptions, a handful of holding penalties, a porous run defense and a brutal missed field goal. It all adds up to the fact Arizona is playing its worst football of the season at a time when it needed its best. “I’m sure we’ll stick to our process, but we have to tweak some things,” Gannon said. "I have to tweak some things.” It's probably faint praise, but the Cardinals did make the game interesting in the second half while trying to fight back from a 27-10 deficit. Murray's shovel pass to James Conner for a 2-yard touchdown and subsequent 2-point conversion cut the margin to 27-18. The Cardinals had a chance to make it a one-score contest early in the fourth quarter, but Chad Ryland's 40-yard field goal attempt bounced off the left upright. “I thought we spotted them a lot of points there, but then we battled back,” Gannon said. “I appreciate their effort. That was good. We battled back there, had a couple chances to even cut the lead a little more, but ultimately didn’t get it done." Murray's in a bit of a mini-slump after throwing two interceptions in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. He also didn't do much in the run game against the Seahawks, with 16 yards on three carries. The quarterback's decision-making was nearly flawless for much of the season and the Cardinals need that good judgment to return. “I’m not looking at it like I have to try to be Superman,” Murray said. “I don’t think that’s the answer. I just need to play within the offense like we’ve done for the majority of the season. Today, I didn’t. Like I said, throwing two picks puts yourself behind the eight ball.” Said Gannon: “I thought he stuck in there and made some big time throws, though, but he has to protect the ball a little bit better. That’s not just him, that’s all 11. So there’ll be a lot of corrections off those plays." The defense didn't have its best day, but it's not Budda Baker's fault. The two-time All-Pro safety is having another phenomenal season and was all over the field against the Seahawks, finishing with 18 tackles. Baker's energy is relentless and he's the unquestioned leader of a group that has been better than expected this season, even with Sunday's mediocre performance. Left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. had a tough day, getting flagged for holding three times, though one of those penalties was declined by the Seahawks. The second-year player moved from right tackle to the left side during the offseason and the transition has gone well, but Sunday was a step backward. The Cardinals remain fairly healthy. DL Roy Lopez (ankle) and P Blake Gillikin (ankle) left Sunday's game, but neither injury is expected to be long term. 9 — It looks as if the Cardinals will go a ninth straight season without winning the NFC West. The last time they won the division was 2015 with coach Bruce Arians and a core offense of quarterback Carson Palmer, running back David Johnson and receiver Larry Fitzgerald. The Cardinals are in must-win territory now for any chance at the playoffs. They'll host the New England Patriots on Sunday. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Officials say a dozen python snakes were rescued during an animal neglect investigation in northwest Houston on Thursday. Harris County Constable Precinct 1 deputies and the Houston SPCA team learned that a man was keeping the snakes on an apartment balcony in the 4000 block of Watonga Boulevard without a working warming system. The discovery was made after someone reported about 20 ball python snakes, with some dying in the past three months, Pct. 1 said. "Having concerns with the recent cold fronts lowering temperatures and the snakes being left outside on the apartment balcony, Pct. 1 and HSPCA Cruelty Investigators responded by visiting the apartment complex and unit to investigate further," the constable's official said on social media. Pct. 1 deputies said the owner admitted to keeping his snakes on the balcony for months, failing to power the warming system he created. The owner agreed to surrender a dozen snakes, with investigators finding out two of them had died. While assessing the snakes, authorities say their temperatures were so low that a regular thermometer couldn't read them. They had to use an infrared thermometer to find the snakes had dangerously low temperatures. The investigation is ongoing, and the Harris County District Attorney's Office will review the case for criminal charges.Fluence Energy, Inc.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants organization got exactly what it deserved in getting blown out by Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Giants were embarrassed in Sunday's 30-7 loss , taunted by Mayfield after a touchdown run just before halftime. And then they saw their fans walk out on them again when the Bucs extended their lead to 30-0 and sent New York (2-9) to its sixth straight loss.
NoneBest TV of 2024: A modestly better lineup than usual, but why didn’t it feel that way?
One of my top shows of 2024 actually premiered in 2021. That’s because it took a couple of years for the Australian series “The Newsreader” to make its way Stateside. Alas, it was only legal to stream in the U.S. for a handful of weeks in September and then — pffft! — it was gone before most people had even heard of it. Well, I have great news. The show will be available once again, this time via Sundance Now (accessible through the AMC+ streaming platform), which has licensed the first season. Premiering Dec. 19, it stars Anna Torv (“Fringe”) and Sam Reid (“Interview with the Vampire”) as TV reporters in Melbourne, circa 1986. At the outset, Reid’s character exudes big loser energy, which is such an amusing contrast to his work as Lestat. The show is unexpectedly funny and terrifically Machiavellian in its portrayal of small-time office politics, and I’m thrilled audiences in the U.S. will get another shot at watching it. Overall, 2024 offered a modestly better lineup than usual, but I’m not sure it felt that way. Too often the good stuff got drowned out by Hollywood’s pointless and endless pursuit of rebooting intellectual property (no thank you, Apple’s “Presumed Innocent” ) and tendency to stretch a perfectly fine two-hour movie premise into a saggy multi-part series (“Presumed Innocent” again!). There were plenty of shows I liked that didn’t make this year’s list, including ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” and CBS’ “Ghosts” (it’s heartening to see the network sitcom format still thriving in the streaming era), as well as Netflix’s “A Man on the Inside” (Ted Danson’s charisma selling an unlikely premise) and Hulu’s “Interior Chinatown” (a high-concept parody of racial stereotypes and cop show tropes, even if it couldn’t sustain the idea over 10 episodes). Maybe it just felt like we were having more fun this year, with Netflix’s “The Perfect Couple” (Nicole Kidman leading a traditional manor house mystery reinterpreted with an American sensibility) and Hulu’s “Rivals” (the horniest show of 2024, delivered with a wink in the English countryside). I liked what I saw of Showtime’s espionage thriller “The Agency” (although the bulk of episodes were unavailable as of this writing). The deluge of remakes tends to make me cringe, but this year also saw a redo of Patricia Highsmith’s “The Talented Mr. Ripley” on Netflix that was far classier than most of what’s available on the streamer. Starring Andrew Scott, I found it cool to the touch, but the imagery stayed with me. Shot in black and white, it has an indelible visual language courtesy of director of photography Robert Elswit, whether capturing a crisp white business card against the worn grain wood of a bar top, or winding stairways that alternately suggest a yawning void or a trap. As always, if you missed any of these shows when they originally premiered — the aforementioned titles or the Top 10 listed below — they are all available to stream. Top 10 streaming and TV shows of 2024, in alphabetical order: The least cynical reality show on television remains as absorbing as ever in Season 4, thanks to the probing questions and insights from the show’s resident therapist, Dr. Orna Guralnik. Everything is so charged. And yet the show has a soothing effect, predicated on the idea that human behavior (and misery) isn’t mysterious or unchangeable. There’s something so optimistic in that outlook. Whether or not you relate to the people featured on “Couples Therapy” — or even like them as individuals — doesn’t matter as much as Guralnik’s reassuring presence. Created by and starring Diarra Kilpatrick, the eight-episode series defies categorization in all the right ways. Part missing-person mystery, part comedy about a school teacher coming to grips with her impending divorce, and part drama about long-buried secrets, it has tremendous style right from the start — sardonic, knowing and self-deprecating. The answers to the central mystery may not pack a satisfying punch by the end, but the road there is as entertaining and absorbing as they come. We need more shows like this. A comedy created by and starring Brian Jordan Alvarez (of the antic YouTube series “The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo”), the show has a sensibility all its own, despite a handful of misinformed people on social media calling it a ripoff of “Abbott Elementary.” There’s room enough in the TV landscape for more than one sitcom with a school setting and “English Teacher” has a wonderfully gimlet-eyed point of view of modern high school life. I’m amused that so much of its musical score is Gen-X coded, because that neither applies to Alvarez (a millennial) nor the fictional students he teaches. So why does the show feature everything from Laura Branigan’s “Gloria” to Exposé’s “Point of No Return”? The ’80s were awash in teen stories and maybe the show is using music from that era to invoke all those tropes in order to better subvert them. It’s a compelling idea! It’s streaming on Hulu and worth checking out if you haven’t already. A one-time tennis phenom accuses her former coach of coercing her into a sexual relationship in this British thriller. The intimacy between a coach and athlete often goes unexplored, in real-life or fictional contexts and that’s what the show interrogates: When does it go over the line? It’s smart, endlessly watchable and the kind of series that would likely find a larger audience were it available on a more popular streamer. There’s real tenderness in this show. Real cruelty, too. It’s a potent combination and the show’s third and strongest season won it an Emmy for best comedy. Jean Smart’s aging comic still looking for industry validation and Hannah Einbinder’s needy Gen-Z writer are trapped in an endless cycle of building trust that inevitably gives way to betrayal. Hollywood in a nutshell! “Hacks” is doing variations on this theme every season, but doing it in interesting ways. Nobody self-sabotages their way to success like these two. I was skeptical about the show when it premiered in 2022 . Vampire stories don’t interest me. And the 1994 movie adaptation starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt wasn’t a persuasive argument to the contrary. But great television is great television and nothing at the moment is better than this show. It was ignored by Emmy voters in its initial outing but let’s hope Season 2 gets the recognition it deserves. Under showrunner Rolin Jones, the adaptation of Anne Rice’s novels is richly written, thrillingly inhabited by its cast and so effortlessly funny with a framing device — the interview of the title — that is thick with intrigue and sly comedy. I wouldn’t categorize the series as horror. It’s not scary. But it is tonally self-assured and richly made, rarely focused on the hunt for dinner but on something far more interesting: The melodrama of vampire existence, with its combination of boredom and lust and tragedy and zingers. Already renewed for Season 3, it has an incredible cast (a thrilling late-career boost for Eric Bogosian) and is well worth catching up with if you haven’t already. It’s been too long since the pleasures of banter fueled a romantic comedy in the spirit of “When Harry Met Sally.” But it’s all over the place in “Nobody Wants This,” one of the best shows on Netflix in recent memory. Renewed for a second season, it stars Kristen Bell as a humorously caustic podcaster and Adam Brody as the cute and emotionally intelligent rabbi she falls for. On the downside, the show has some terrible notions about Jewish women that play into controlling and emasculating stereotypes. You hate to see it in such an otherwise sparkling comedy, because overall Bell and Brody have an easy touch that gives the comedy real buoyancy. I suspect few people saw this three-part series on PBS Masterpiece, but it features a terrific performance by Helena Bonham Carter playing the real-life, longtime British soap star Noele “Nolly” Gordon, who was unceremoniously sacked in 1981. She’s the kind of larger-than-life showbiz figure who is a bit ridiculous, a bit imperious, but also so much fun. The final stretch of her career is brought to life by Carter and this homage — to both the soap she starred in and the way she carried it on her back — is from Russell T. Davies (best known for the “Doctor Who” revival). For U.S. viewers unfamiliar with the show or Gordon, Carter’s performance has the benefit of not competing with a memory as it reanimates a slice of British pop culture history from the analog era. The year is 1600 and a stubborn British seaman piloting a Dutch ship washes ashore in Japan. That’s our entry point to this gorgeously shot story of power games and political maneuvering among feudal enemies. Adapted from James Clavell’s 1975 novel by the married team of Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks, it is filled with Emmy-winning performances (for Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada; the series itself also won best drama) and unlike something like HBO’s far clunkier “House of the Dragon,” which tackles similar themes, this feels like the rare show created by, and for, adults. The misfits and losers of Britain’s MI5 counterintelligence agency — collectively known as the slow horses, a sneering nickname that speaks to their perceived uselessness — remain as restless as ever in this adaptation of Mick Herron’s Slough House spy novels. As a series, “Slow Horses” doesn’t offer tightly plotted clockwork spy stories; think too deeply about any of the details and the whole thing threatens to fall apart. But on a scene-by-scene basis, the writing is a winning combination of wry and tension-filled, and the cumulative effect is wonderfully entertaining. Spies have to deal with petty office politics like everyone else! It’s also one of the few shows that has avoided the dreaded one- or two-year delay between seasons, which has become standard on streaming. Instead, it provides the kind of reliability — of its characters but also its storytelling intent — that has become increasingly rare. Nina Metz is a Tribune critic.
It’s true. Doomsday TV has exploded into a genre of its own, captivating audiences with bleak scenarios, moral quandaries, and the steady drumbeat of the apocalypse. It’s everywhere, from zombie-infested wastelands to dystopian societies on the brink of collapse. While these narratives can be thrilling, they also come with some emotional baggage. Let’s explore why we can’t seem to get enough of the end of the world — and why it might not be great for our collective psyche. Doomsday stories tap into something primal: the fear of the unknown. Shows like The Last of Us and Silo allow us to confront existential dread in a controlled environment. Watching Joel and Ellie navigate a brutal, post-apocalyptic world offers a way to process anxieties without actually living through them. But let’s be honest: recent years have sometimes felt apocalyptic enough. These stories often showcase humanity’s remarkable ability to adapt and survive amid the chaos. Whether it’s battling zombies in The Walking Dead or enduring the harrowing survivalism of Yellowjackets , these narratives remind us that people keep going, no matter how bleak things seem. There’s also a strange comfort in stepping away from real-world stress to focus on fictional chaos. The stakes in these stories are high, the drama is gripping, and it’s weirdly satisfying to root for characters battling alien invasions (Independence Day), dodging asteroids (Deep Impact), or rebuilding society ( Designated Survivor ). Nostalgia plays a part, too. Back in the late ’90s, apocalyptic narratives like Millennium thrived on the collective anxiety surrounding Y2K. The fear was almost philosophical — what if our technology turned against us? What if the end really was nigh? When nothing catastrophic happened, shows like 24 shifted the genre to action-packed optimism, where Jack Bauer didn’t just survive — he saved the day. Today’s doomsday narratives feel darker and more fatalistic, reflecting a world grappling with climate change, pandemics, and political instability. It’s no longer “What if?” but “What now?” And it’s so depressing! (No wonder these young kids today are so unhinged! 😉) Doomsday Across Genres Apocalyptic themes have evolved to permeate nearly every genre, each offering a unique take on the end of the world. Science fiction often leads the charge with dystopian worlds that are chillingly plausible. In Silo, humanity survives underground in a society ruled by secrets and strict control. Its exploration of rebellion and the cost of truth resonates with anyone who’s ever questioned authority. Dramas take a more intimate approach, as seen in The Last of Us, where brutal loss is paired with tender human connections. It’s not just about survival; it’s about how love and relationships endure in the worst of times. Horror takes apocalyptic stakes to supernatural heights. Shows like Supernatural blended end-of-time scenarios with demonic battles, creating a genre mash-up that felt larger than life while still grappling with existential dread. Action and thrillers like 24 captured the urgency of averting societal collapse, giving viewers edge-of-their-seat drama while Jack Bauer raced against the clock. Meanwhile, survivalist suspense has found a unique home in Yellowjackets, which strips the apocalypse down to a micro-level. The show’s descent into chaos and madness explores how people create their own doomsday when pushed to the brink, making it just as harrowing as a global catastrophe. The Downsides of All This Doom For all its entertainment value, doomsday TV has its pitfalls. The constant barrage of worst-case scenarios can desensitize audiences to real-world crises. Watching society collapse again and again risks making events like natural disasters or political instability feel like just another episode of The Walking Dead . For some viewers, it can even amplify existing anxieties. The relentless focus on pandemics, nuclear war, and environmental disasters might start as escapism but end up dragging people deeper into their fears about the future (and don’t we get enough of that in the news already?). These narratives can also distort our sense of reality. Shows like Silo , The Last of Us, and numerous others paint such vivid pictures of societal collapse that it’s easy to start seeing the world as far more fragile than it is. Yes, things are messy, but the odds of civilization crumbling overnight? Not as high as these shows might have us believe. What Happened to Hope? Doomsday stories weren’t always this bleak. Earlier apocalyptic tales often left room for optimism. On Independence Day, humanity rallied together to fight back against alien invaders. Disaster films like Deep Impact balance tragedy with a sense of renewal. Remember Téa Leoni’s final moment on the beach with her father? Heartbreaking, yes, but it was also a reminder that humanity endures. Today’s narratives lean hard into nihilism.The Last of Us doesn’t ask, “How do we fix this?” It asks, “How do we survive in what’s left?” That shift reflects broader cultural pessimism, and while it makes for gripping TV, it can also drain viewers. But not every show has succumbed to the gloom. Sweet Tooth offers a refreshing take on the genre. It follows Gus, a boy who navigates a pandemic-ravaged world with a sense of wonder and hope. His journey is filled with moments of kindness and connection, reminding viewers that light still shines even in the darkest times. Why We Need a Balance Doomsday TV will always have a place in our cultural imagination. It helps us process fears, explore resilience, and grapple with big questions about humanity’s future. But maybe the pendulum should swing back toward stories that leave us with more than existential dread. Give us more Designated Survivor, where rebuilding is possible, or Sweet Tooth, where hope thrives in the ruins. Let’s bring back that early 2000s optimism — the idea that even when the world ends humanity finds a way to start again. Remember 9/11? Granted, thousands lost their lives that day, but we carried on. Why? Because we’re resilient. History has shown this to be true. From world wars to economic collapses, history has proven time and again that resilience is part of the human spirit. We adapt, rebuild, and keep moving forward. It’s a reminder that while challenges may feel insurmountable at the moment, humanity has always found a way to persevere. So, what do you think? Are you all in for the doom and gloom, or are you ready for a break from apocalyptic despair? Let’s hear your thoughts — what’s your favorite doomsday TV show, and does it leave you feeling hopeful or just plain drained? Drop your picks (and your survival tips) in the comments, and let’s start a conversation about whether it’s time for TV to balance the end of the world with a little more optimism. After all, if the apocalypse is coming, wouldn’t you rather go out with a smile?Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey, listed as questionable due to a shoulder issue, is expected to play Monday night against the visiting Baltimore Ravens, NFL Network reported. McConkey missed practice on Thursday and was limited on Friday and Saturday. Star linebacker Khalil Mack, who was questionable because of a groin injury and was a limited participant, also is expected to play, according to the report. The Chargers (7-3) made several moves Monday ahead of the game against the Ravens (7-4), placing tight end Hayden Hurst (hip) on injured reserve, activating cornerback Deane Leonard (hamstring) off IR, signing cornerback Eli Apple from the practice to the active squad, and elevating linebacker Caleb Murphy and safety Tony Jefferson for game day. McConkey, 23, has started nine of 10 games and has 43 receptions on 63 targets for 615 yards and four touchdowns. The Chargers drafted the 6-foot, 185-pound McConkey in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Georgia. Mack, 33, is a three-time first-team All-Pro, an eight-time Pro Bowl selection and the 2016 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. He has started the nine games he has played and has 26 tackles and 4.5 sacks this season. For his career, Mack has 617 tackles, 106 sacks, 141 tackles for loss, 178 quarterback hits, three interceptions -- two returned for touchdowns -- 32 forced fumbles and 13 fumble recoveries in 160 games (159 starts). He has played for the Raiders (2014-17), Chicago Bears (2018-21) and Chargers. Hurst, 31, has started two of seven games in his first season with the Chargers. He has seven receptions on 12 targets for 65 yards. A first-round pick (25th overall) by Baltimore in the 2018 NFL Draft out of South Carolina, Hurst has 202 receptions for 1,967 yards and 15 TDs in 86 games (41 starts) for the Ravens (2018-19), Atlanta Falcons (2020-21), Cincinnati Bengals (2022), Carolina Panthers (2023) and Chargers. Apple, 29, has two tackles in three games this season, his first with the Chargers. The 10th overall selection in the 2016 draft, Apple has 383 career tackles and six interceptions in 101 games (82 starts) for the New York Giants (2016-18), New Orleans Saints (2018-19), Panthers (2020), Bengals (2021-22), Miami Dolphins (2023) and Chargers. Leonard, who turned 25 last Tuesday, has four tackles in four games this season.

The Eagle's 2024 Top 10 News Stories, No. 8: College Station tackles housing crisisFormer President Bill Clinton was admitted Monday to Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C., after developing a fever. The 78-year-old was hospitalized in the “afternoon for testing and observation,” Angel Urena, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, said in a statement. “He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” Urena said. Clinton, a Democrat who served two terms as president from January 1993 until January 2001, addressed the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer, and campaigned ahead of November’s election for the unsuccessful White House bid of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris . In the years since Clinton left the White House, he’s faced some health scares. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery after experiencing prolonged chest pains and shortness of breath. Clinton returned to the hospital for surgery for a partially collapsed lung in 2005, and in 2010 he had a pair of stents implanted in a coronary artery. We have launched our year-end campaign.

In 2021, the former president was hospitalized for six days in California while being treated for an infection that was unrelated to COVID-19, when the pandemic was still near its height. An aide to the former president said then that Clinton had a urological infection that spread to his bloodstream, but was on the mend and never went into septic shock, a potentially life-threatening condition. The aide said Clinton was in an intensive care section of the hospital that time, but wasn’t receiving ICU care.
