As property values continue to outpace inflation, property taxes are taking a bigger bite out of homeowners’ wallets. A new analysis from Construction Coverage breaks down property tax rates by state, county, and city to reveal where homeowners have the greatest burden. Click for more. Where Are U.S. Property Taxes Highest and Lowest? A State, County, and City AnalysisWhat a wonderful year 2024 has been for investors. U.S. stocks ripped higher and carried the S&P 500 to records as the economy kept growing and the Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates. The year featured many familiar winners, such as Big Tech, which got even bigger as their stock prices kept growing. But it wasn't just Apple, Nvidia and the like. Bitcoin, gold and other investments also drove higher. Here's a look at some of the numbers that defined the year. All are as of Dec. 20. Remember when President Bill Clinton got impeached or when baseball's Mark McGwire hit his 70th home run against the Montreal Expos? That was the last time the U.S. stock market closed out a second straight year with a leap of at least 20%, something the S&P 500 is on track to do again this year. The index has climbed 24.3% so far this year, not including dividends, following last year's spurt of 24.2%. The number of all-time highs the S&P 500 has set so far this year. The first came early, on Jan. 19, when the index capped a two-year comeback from the swoon caused by high inflation and worries that high interest rates instituted by the Federal Reserve to combat it would create a recession. But the index was methodical through the rest of the year, setting a record in every month outside of April and August, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. The latest came on Dec. 6. The number of times the Federal Reserve has cut its main interest rate this year from a two-decade high, offering some relief to the economy. Expectations for those cuts, along with hopes for more in 2025, were a big reason the U.S. stock market has been so successful this year. The 1 percentage point of cuts, though, is still short of the 1.5 percentage points that many traders were forecasting for 2024 at the start of the year. The Fed disappointed investors in December when it said it may cut rates just two more times in 2025, fewer than it had earlier expected. RELATED STORY | FBI arrests man charged with planning an attack on the New York Stock Exchange That’s how many points the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by the day after Election Day, as investors made bets on what Donald Trump’s return to the White House will mean for the economy and the world. The more widely followed S&P 500 soared 2.5% for its best day in nearly two years. Aside from bitcoin, stocks of banks and smaller winners were also perceived to be big winners. The bump has since diminished amid worries that Trump’s policies could also send inflation higher. The level that bitcoin topped to set a record above $108,000 this past month. It's been climbing as interest rates come down, and it got a particularly big boost following Trump's election. He's turned around and become a fan of crypto, and he's named a former regulator who’s seen as friendly to digital currencies as the next chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, replacing someone who critics said was overly aggressive in his oversight. Bitcoin was below $17,000 just two years ago following the collapse of crypto exchange FTX. Gold's rise for the year, as it also hit records and had as strong a run as U.S. stocks. Wars around the world have helped drive demand for investments seen as safe, such as gold. It's also benefited from the Fed's cut to interest rates. When bonds are paying less in interest, they pull away fewer potential buyers from gold, which pays investors nothing. It's a favorite number of Elon Musk, and it's also a threshold that Tesla's stock price passed in December as it set a record. The number has a long history among marijuana devotees, and Musk famously said in 2018 that he had secured funding to take Tesla private at $420 per share. Tesla soared this year, up from less than $250 at the start, in part because of expectations that Musk's close relationship with Trump could benefit the company. RELATED STORY | Wealthier Americans are driving retail spending and powering US economy That's how much revenue Nvidia made in the nine months through Oct. 27, showing how the artificial intelligence frenzy is creating mountains of cash. Nvidia's chips are driving much of the move into AI, and its revenue through the last nine months catapulted from less than $39 billion the year before. Such growth has boosted Nvidia's worth to more than $3 trillion in total. GameStop’s gain on May 13 after Keith Gill, better known as “Roaring Kitty,” appeared online for the first time in three years to support the video game retailer’s stock, which he helped rocket to unimaginable heights during the “ meme stock craze ” in 2021. Several other meme stocks also jumped following his post in May on the social platform X, including AMC Entertainment. Gill later disclosed a sizeable stake in the online pet products retailer Chewy, but he sold all of his holdings by late October. That's how much the U.S. economy grew, at annualized seasonally adjusted rates, in each of the three first quarters of this year. Such growth blew past what many pessimists were expecting when inflation was topping 9% in the summer of 2022. The fear was that the medicine prescribed by the Fed to beat high inflation — high interest rates — would create a recession. Households at the lower end of the income spectrum in particular are feeling pain now, as they contend with still-high prices. But the overall economy has remained remarkably resilient. This is the vacancy rate for U.S. office buildings — an all-time high — through the first three quarters of 2024, according to data from Moody's. The fact the rate held steady for most of the year was something of a win for office building owners, given that it had marched up steadily from 16.8% in the fourth quarter of 2019. Demand for office space weakened as the pandemic led to the popularization of remote work. That's the total number of previously occupied homes sold nationally through the first 11 months of 2024. Sales would have to surge 20% year-over-year in December for 2024's home sales to match the 4.09 million existing homes sold in 2023, a nearly 30-year low. The U.S. housing market has been in a sales slump dating back to 2022, when mortgage rates began to climb from pandemic-era lows. A shortage of homes for sale and elevated mortgage rates have discouraged many would-be homebuyers.

(AP) — Republican senators pushed back on Sunday against criticism from Democrats that Tulsi Gabbard , Donald Trump's pick to lead U.S. intelligence services , is “compromised” by her comments supportive of Russia and secret meetings , as a congresswoman, with Syria’s president, a close ally of the Kremlin and Iran. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat and veteran of combat missions in Iraq, said she had concerns about Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's choice to be director of national intelligence . “I think she’s compromised," Duckworth said on CNN’s “State of the Union," citing Gabbard's 2017 trip to Syria, where she held talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad. Gabbard was a Democratic House member from Hawaii at the time. “The U.S. intelligence community has identified her as having troubling relationships with America’s foes. And so my worry is that she couldn’t pass a background check,” Duckworth said. Gabbard, who said last month she is joining the Republican Party, has served in the Army National Guard for more than two decades. She was deployed to Iraq and Kuwait and, according to the Hawaii National Guard, received a Combat Medical Badge in 2005 for “participation in combat operations under enemy hostile fire in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom III." Duckworth's comments drew immediate backlash from Republicans. “For her to say ridiculous and outright dangerous words like that is wrong," Sen. Markwayne Mullin, a Republican from Oklahoma, said on CNN, challenging Duckworth to retract her words. “That’s the most dangerous thing she could say — is that a United States lieutenant colonel in the United States Army is compromised and is an asset of Russia.” In recent days, other Democrats have accused Gabbard without evidence of being a “Russian asset.” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, has claimed, without offering details, that Gabbard is in Russian President Vladimir “Putin’s pocket.” Mullin and others say the criticism from Democrats is rooted in the fact that Gabbard left their party and has become a Trump ally. Democrats say they worry that Gabbard's selection as national intelligence chief endangers ties with allies and gives Russia a win. Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat just elected to the Senate, said he would not describe Gabbard as a Russian asset, but said she had “very questionable judgment.” “The problem is if our foreign allies don’t trust the head of our intelligence agencies, they’ll stop sharing information with us,” Schiff said on NBC's “Meet the Press.” Gabbard in 2022 endorsed one of Russia’s justifications for invading Ukraine : the existence of dozens of U.S.-funded biolabs working on some of the world’s nastiest pathogens. The labs are part of an international effort to control outbreaks and stop bioweapons, but Moscow claimed Ukraine was using them to create deadly bioweapons. Gabbard said she just voiced concerns about protecting the labs. Gabbard also has suggested that Russia had legitimate security concerns in deciding to invade Ukraine, given its desire to join NATO. Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri said he thought it was “totally ridiculous” that Gabbard was being cast as a Russian asset for having different political views. “It’s insulting. It’s a slur, quite frankly. There’s no evidence that she’s a asset of another country,” he said on NBC. Sen. James Lankford, another Oklahoma Republican, acknowledged having “lots of questions” for Gabbard as the Senate considers her nomination to lead the intelligence services. Lankford said on NBC that he wants to ask Gabbard about her meeting with Assad and some of her past comments about Russia. “We want to know what the purpose was and what the direction for that was. As a member of Congress, we want to get a chance to talk about past comments that she’s made and get them into full context,” Lankford said.

Tensions between UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili and Umar Nurmagomedov boiled over ahead of the first UFC 311 press conference. After weeks of ducking allegations and online banter, Merab Dvalishvili will make his first bantamweight title defense against Umar Nurmagomedov in the UFC 311 co-main event next month. The card is headlined by a UFC lightweight title rematch between Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan. Nurmagomedov was immediately named the ‘next man up’ to face Dvalishvili after the latter’s title win at UFC 306. The undefeated Nurmagomedov was briefly linked to another fight in December as Dvalishvili expressed indifference to facing the surging contender. Dvalishvili and Nurmagomedov’s relationship was strictly competitive just a few months ago, but things have taken a dark turn in recent weeks. Threats have swirled between the two bantamweight; adding to the immense hype after the UFC 311 fight announcements this week. Ahead of Dvalishvili and Nurmagomedov’s first promotional appearance before UFC 311, the two bantamweight nearly got after it just weeks before their scheduled fight, before security personnel intervened. READ MORE: I’ve been training with Shavkat Rakhmonov ahead of UFC 310 – this is why Ian Garry will beat him and take his undefeated record Merab Dvalishvili and Umar Nurmagomedov nearly threw hands backstage ahead of UFC 311 presser As you can see in the below clip, Dvalishvili was in the middle of an interview with an MMA media member when Nurmagomedov confronted the bantamweight titleholder. The two fighters exchanged fiery verbal taunts, including Nurmagomedov challenging Dvalishvili to ‘call him’ for a potential face-to-face outside of the venue. Luckily, cooler heads eventually prevailed and UFC security quickly de-escalated the incident. The UFC 311 press conference went on as planned, despite Dvalishvili and Nurmagomedov nearly coming to blows backstage. The beef between Dvalishvili and Nurmagomedov has escalated in recent days after Dvalishvili appeared to offer Petr Yan a title shot following a win at UFC Macau. Nurmagomedov went on a social media tirade in response, further stoking the flames of their adversarial pairing. Dvalishvili also accused Nurmagomedov of lying to fans regarding a rumored fight against Song Yadong. Initially, Nurmagomedov offered to get scheduled for another bout if Dvalishvili anticipated a modest absence from competition. READ MORE: Watch Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill nearly come to blows at the UFC PI after weeks of online taunts Merab Dvalishvil vs. Umar Nurmagomedov is an early 2025 ‘Fight of the Year’ candidate Dvalishvili’s teammate, former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling , has also gotten involved in banter with Nurmagomedov in recent weeks over dodging allegations. Sterling will face Movsar Evloev in a pivotal featherweight bout this Saturday at UFC 310. Things have gotten so personal between Dvalishvili and Nurmagomedov that Dvalishvili briefly hinted at defending the belt during Ramadan , directly impacting Nurmagomedov’s title chances. But, their UFC 311 booking alleviated any concerns the fight wouldn’t come to fruition anytime soon. Dvalishvili vs. Nurmagomedov pairs two of the top UFC pound-for-pound fighters against each other to kick off 2025. Dvalishvili won the belt by defeating Sean O’Malley at UFC 306, while Nurmagomedov cemented himself as the No. 1 contender by defeating Cory Sandhagen earlier this year. It won’t be long until Dvalishvili and Nurmagomedov meet in the Octagon. But in the meantime, the two rivals could potentially get the fight started early just weeks before UFC 311. READ MORE: Alexandre Pantoja pinpoints when Kai Asakura earned a quick ascent to title shot ahead of UFC 310WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden faces a stark choice as he contemplates broad preemptive pardons to protect aides and allies from potential retribution by Donald Trump: Does he hew to the institutional norms he’s spent decades defending or flex the powers of the presidency in untested ways? The deliberations so far are largely at the level of White House lawyers. But the president discussed the topic with senior aides, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss. No decisions have been made, the people said, and it is possible Biden opts to do nothing at all. President Joe Biden speaks Thursday during a tree-lighting ceremony on the Ellipse near the White House in Washington. Biden is taking the idea seriously and has been thinking about it for as much as six months — before the presidential election — but has been concerned about the precedent it would set, according to another person familiar with the president’s discussions who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Pardons are historically afforded to those accused of specific crimes — and usually to those who have already been convicted of an offense — but Biden’s team is considering issuing them for some who have not even been investigated, let alone charged. The president could, if he chooses, issue blanket pardons to specific people whom Trump and his allies threatened to punish. Or he could pardon a broad class of people — not unlike pardons issued to those convicted of federal marijuana offenses or those ensnared in the “don't ask, don't tell” military policies. A federal judge rebuked President Joe Biden's pardon for his son, Hunter, who the president claims was unfairly prosecuted. Either way, he'd be using the powers of the presidency in a new way. Some worry that Trump and his allies, who talked of enemies lists and exacting “retribution,” could launch investigations that would be reputationally and financially costly for targeted people even if they don’t result in prosecutions. Biden already extended a broad pardon to his son, Hunter , who was convicted and pleaded guilty in tax and gun cases. He explained that decision by saying he believed the prosecution of his son was poisoned by politics. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday that Biden plans additional pardons before leaving office, though she would not elaborate on the process. She referenced “changing factors” that motivated the president to pardon his son despite promising he wouldn’t. She said Republicans continued to try to see Hunter Biden investigated for an array of alleged offenses, a rationale that could support additional pardons for Biden aides and allies. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre speaks Friday during the daily briefing at the White House in Washington. It was two weeks ago that one of the president’s closest allies in Congress, Rep, Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, encouraged Biden to pardon his son Hunter. The morning after that conversation, Clyburn told Biden’s staff that he believed the president should also pardon those being targeted by Trump. “I was very forceful in my discussions with him about what I thought he ought to do regarding his son,” Clyburn said Friday. “But I also told them that I thought he ought to go even further, because all the noise about Jack Smith and Liz Cheney and Doctor Fauci and all of that.” Special Counsel Jack Smith has been investigating Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and for accusations he hoarded classified documents at his home. Liz Cheney, a conservative Republican , was the vice chairwoman of the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection and campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris. Fauci, an infectious-disease expert, was instrumental in the government's response to the coronavirus. All raised the ire of Trump. President-elect Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden's decision to pardon Hunter Biden for federal gun and tax convictions, calling it a "miscarriage of justice." Trump highlighted individuals imprisoned for the January 6th Capitol riots, questioning whether they were included in Biden's pardon. Trump suggested he might consider pardoning Hunter Biden during an interview in October, expressing concern over its impact on the country. Hunter Biden's pardon prevents significant prison time, as he faced nearly forty years for gun and tax-related convictions. Clyburn said he told Biden’s team, only half jokingly, that because the Supreme Court already said the president has certain immunities, “let’s give that same immunity to Jack Smith for carrying out his duties and to, Doctor Fauci, Liz Cheney, they were carrying out their duties.” Among those mentioned publicly for possible presidential pardons, there are different sentiments on whether pardons would even be wanted. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi supported the president’s move to pardon his son, but was silent on the speculation that Biden is considering additional pardons for her or others. A top Pelosi ally, Rep. Adam Schiff, the Democratic congressman who led Trump’s first impeachment, panned the idea of pardoning Biden's allies. He says “the courts are strong enough to withstand” the worst of Trump’s threats. “I don’t think a preemptive pardon makes sense,” the incoming senator told NPR recently. “I would urge the president not to do that. I think it would seem defensive and unnecessary,” Schiff said. Several people on President-elect Donald Trump's team are reportedly supporting efforts to make an Edward Snowden pardon happen. Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, the lead manager on Trump’s second impeachment on the charge of inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol, said the speech and debate clause in the Constitution already protects members of Congress from prosecution for participating in their legislative duties. Raskin said figures like Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and John Kelly , Trump's former White House chief of staff, would similarly be protected by the First Amendment. Still, Raskin said the question is, “Should they go through the criminal investigation and prosecution for not doing anything wrong? I think that’s why this whole issue has erupted.” Raksin added that with Trump promising to pardon hundreds of people who assaulted police officers on Jan. 6, “I can hardly fault President Biden for exploring the use of the pardon to protect people from a fraudulent and unjust prosecution.” House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he’s had no conversations with the White House regarding any preemptive pardons for current or former members of Congress.

Neal Maupay: Whenever I’m having a bad day I check Everton score and smileJalen Johnson scores 28 to lead the Hawks over the Heat 120-110The EU has officially adopted USB-C as the common charging standard. EU consumers can now use a single USB-C charger for smartphones, tablets, cameras, headphones, gaming consoles, and other devices. In 2022, the European Parliament and member states approved a law requiring all small and medium-sized portable devices sold in the EU to use USB-C charging ports. EU charging directive tackles fast charging and unbundled bricks The USB-C requirement is just the beginning of the EU’s new charging rules. The directive also regulates fast charging, separates charging bricks from retail devices, and mandates better labelling. These changes aim to simplify life for gadget users in the EU, if implemented effectively, The Verge reports . The directive’s broad scope affects both consumers and businesses, as it applies to all devices the EU defines as radio equipment—products designed to send or receive radio waves for communication or location purposes. The regulation covers devices like phones, tablets, cameras, headphones, earbuds, portable speakers, gaming consoles, e-readers, keyboards, mice, and navigation systems that use wired charging and support up to 100W power delivery. For example, the 350W PlayStation 5 is exempt, while the 6W Nintendo Switch is included. Laptops are the exception, with compliance required by April 28, 2026. Some areas remain unclear, as drones aren’t listed and may not fit into other categories like digital cameras. The European Commission plans to monitor market trends, fragmentation, and technological advancements to keep the list of devices updated and relevant. The directive doesn’t cover wireless charging, but the European Commission aims to harmonize standards to avoid market fragmentation and reduce environmental impact. Despite some uncertainties, most consumer tech in the EU must now have a USB-C port. However, this only applies to the device side, as charging brick connections are not included. New EU charging rules expected to save millions and reduce waste Anna Cavazzini, chair of the European Parliament’s Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, described the new rules as a major step toward consumer convenience and environmental responsibility. The directive aims to reduce the tons of waste generated by discarded chargers each year and save EU households an estimated €250 million by cutting unnecessary charger purchases. The Parliament also plans to monitor how manufacturers adapt to the changes. Devices without USB-C ports that are already in circulation can still be sold in the EU if they are placed on the market for the first time before December 28th. The EU defines “placed on the market” as when a manufacturer or importer first supplies a product to a distributor or end-user. The European Commission notes that manufacturers, importers, and distributors need time to use any rights they have under existing national or EU rules, such as selling stock made under previous standards. One of the upcoming challenges is how the common charging solution will be enforced . This responsibility lies with individual member states, as they are in charge of market surveillance, The Verge points out. Each country can use measures like fines and product withdrawals to enforce compliance, with the issue now being how these bodies will manage the influx of inexpensive tech from outside the EU.Analyst Predicts When Edmonton Oilers Will Call Up Top Prospect Matthew Savoie

However, few visitors know that in the place that these businesses occupy today, as well as the Siglo XXI Convention Center and the Great Museum of the Mayan World, there existed decades ago a powerful emporium dedicated to the exploitation of what was considered the “green gold” from Yucatán: the henequén plant. At the heart of the Yucatecan henequen industry, the Cordemex Company (National Cordelería de México) was for decades a symbol of the economic power of the state of Yucatán. Founded in 1960 as part of an effort to modernize henequen fiber production, this state-owned company quickly became the main driver of an industry that had been the pride and sustenance of the region since the 19th century. However, Cordemex’s fate would be as impressive as its rise: it went from an emporium of national importance to a vestige of the past in a matter of decades. Cordemex was born in the context of government efforts to revitalize the henequen industry, which by the mid-20th century was facing serious challenges due to growing competition from synthetic fibers such as nylon and polypropylene. The company operated a huge processing plant north of the city of Mérida, equipped with cutting-edge technology for its time. Its facilities allowed not only the massive production of ropes, bags and other henequen derivatives, but also the generation of jobs for thousands of Yucatecans. During its glory years, Cordemex not only boosted the local economy, but also established Yucatán as one of the largest producers of natural fibers in Mexico. The company came to dominate the national and international market, exporting its products to dozens of countries and serving as the main buyer of henequen from the region’s farms. For many, Cordemex represented the modernization of the henequen legacy, adapting a centuries-old tradition to the demands of a global market. To house the company’s workers and their families, the Cordemex subdivision was built in 1967, at the exit to Progreso. This was one of the first modern housing developments in Mérida, with 418 houses designed for workers. It included basic services, recreational areas and cultural spaces, reflecting the importance that the company had for the community. This subdivision soon became a vibrant neighborhood directly connected to the factories by infrastructure such as the first pedestrian bridge in Mérida. The beginning of Cordemex’s decline began in the 1980s, when competition from synthetic fibers, cheaper and easier to produce, intensified irreversibly. Furthermore, the lack of technological innovation and the high production costs of the state company hindered its competitiveness in the international market. Added to these factors were political decisions that negatively affected the industry, such as trade liberalization and the privatization of strategic sectors, which left the company in a critical situation. Finally, in the 1990s, Cordemex closed its operations, marking the end of an era for the henequen industry and for thousands of workers who depended on the company. The collapse of Cordemex not only represented an economic loss, but also a symbolic blow to Yucatán’s henequen pride and identity. After the closure of Cordemex, its gigantic facilities were left unused for several years. However, with the urban growth of Mérida, the company’s old factories and land were reused for new purposes. Part of the land was transformed into commercial and residential areas. Today, Cordemex is a rapidly developing area north of Mérida, home to modern shopping centers, housing developments, and entertainment venues. Although Cordemex no longer exists, its name lives on in the neighborhood that carries its legacy. For many Yucatecans, it represents a reminder of a time when henequen was the axis of the region’s economy and identity. Its history is a reflection of the challenges of modernity and how traditional industries can disappear in the face of technological and economic changes. The Cordemex subdivision has maintained its identity as a consolidated neighborhood. Despite the challenges, its residents continue to organize and celebrate community events that reinforce their shared history, as occurred on the 50th anniversary of the subdivision in 2017. Cordemex was not only a symbol of henequen’s greatness but also a lesson in the importance of adaptation and innovation in a constantly changing world.

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Tanner McKee’s first career NFL touchdown pass was thrown to a Philadelphia Eagles fan named Patrick. OK, McKee actually threw the 20-yard TD to Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J Brown, who — in a momentary lapse of reason — chucked the souvenir football into the Lincoln Financial field stands. Uh-oh. “I felt so bad,” Brown said, “because I threw it so far.” McKee, a sixth-round pick out of Stanford in 2023, is a career third-string QB who had never played a regular-season snap until he was pressed into emergency duty Sunday against Dallas. Jalen Hurts did not start because of a concussion and Kenny Pickett — who ran and threw for a TD in the Eagles’ 41-7 win — was knocked of the game with injured ribs. That opened the door for the 24-year-old McKee to play in a game in which the Eagles clinched the NFC East. He did his part — including the 20-yard strike in the third that made it 34-7. The celebration was temporarily muted when he realized his ball — a milestone keepsake for any player — was somewhere in the stands. Little did McKee know the ball was coming back to him. Eagles fans kicked off a bit of a relay with the ball once they realized its significance to McKee. The fan who caught the ball was promised a jersey from Brown. He sent the ball to one fan, who passed it to Eagles security chief “Big” Dom DiSandro to hand to another Eagles employee to Brown and finally to McKee. Souvenir secured. “I appreciate whoever gave the ball back,” McKee said. “(Brown) was like, ‘I’m sorry, bro. I got the ball back.’ So, yeah, it was good. He made a great play, and obviously a great catch.” It was Brown’s throw that needed work. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Brown stripped off and signed his game jersey and handed it to a fan named Patrick as a thank-you for returning the football — all while fans chanted “E-A-G-L-E-S!” around him. “We’ve got great fans here,” Brown said. McKee needed more room on the trophy shelf — he threw a second TD pass in the fourth quarter. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL Advertisement Advertisement
