(AP) — In some sports, playing three games in 11 days would be considered a lull in the schedule. Football is different — although this type of stretch is becoming more common in the NFL. “I just kind of put myself in a basketball perspective. Those guys play back to back, so I guess there’s a little merit behind us quote-unquote complaining about it, but they are playing 82 games," Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton said. “MLB players are playing 162 games, and we have 17, and we’re trying to fight them to go to 18 right now. I think it’s good in a sense that we’ll see who is most prepared down the stretch, and it’s really challenging for teams — everybody that’s involved.” The Ravens are one of the five teams that are about to go through a three-game, 11-day stretch. The Ravens, Chiefs, Steelers and Texans are playing Sunday, the following Saturday and then the Wednesday after that on Christmas. Chicago has a game this coming Monday night, then plays the following Sunday before a Thursday game on Dec. 26. Before this season, 21 teams in the Super Bowl era had played three games in 11 days, according to Sportradar. In 2024 there are nine stretches like that on the schedule. In addition to the five teams above, four others have already gone through a three-game, 11-day period. The Jets, Seahawks, Saints and Cowboys all had Monday-Sunday-Thursday runs like the Bears are about to face. The Jets and Cowboys managed to go 2-1 during those stretches, but the Seahawks and Saints went 0-3. “Try to win the first one, rest, try to get your body back how it should be,” Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson said. “If it’s not 100 percent, try to get it close as possible — just get ready to play football. That’s all.” For Baltimore, the easiest game of the three is in theory the first. As of Thursday afternoon, the Ravens were favored by 16 points at the New York Giants this weekend, according to BetMGM Sportsbook — but Baltimore has already lost to last-place teams like the Raiders and Browns this season. So the Ravens need to be careful not to overlook the lowly Giants. After the trip to New Jersey, Baltimore returns home to face Pittsburgh in a game that figures to be vital to the Ravens' AFC North title hopes. Then there's a road game against AFC South-leading Houston on Christmas. “The big picture is, ‘All hands on deck.’ We’re focused toward playing our best game so far on Sunday,” coach John Harbaugh said. “We’re going to need to do that, and that’s what we’re training and preparing to do. We have a plan for the three-game stretch, and that plan starts with Sunday.” The Ravens played on Christmas last year too, but that was on a Monday, so it wasn't that big a change in the schedule. If there's one factor in Baltimore's favor this season, it's that the Ravens had their open date last week — immediately before their rugged three-game stretch. But that meant Baltimore was among the last teams to have a week off. And the Ravens started earlier than almost anyone else, having been part of the NFL's opening game against Kansas City. “We reported to camp earlier than everybody else for that Thursday night game, and I think KC had their bye a little while ago,” Hamilton said. “I guess we had the longest stretch, continuous, of anybody else. It’s just going to be that much better at the end of it all, when we do what we need to do, and we can look back on that and say, ‘We did that, and we came out and won these three games.’” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have had a busy offseason. They were involved in the Juan Soto sweepstakes and signed Blake Snell. They however have not been able to bring back one of their key free agents and may need to replace him if he leaves. Newsweek's Zach Pressnell suggested that the Dodgers could pivot to Chicago White Sox' centerfielder Luis Robert Jr. to replace Teoscar Hernández. He proposed this trade that brings Robert to Los Angeles: Dodgers receive: outfielder Luis Robert Jr. White Sox receive: right-handed pitcher Bobby Miller, shortstop Joendry Vargas and outfielder Kendall George Robert started 100 games for the White Sox in 2024 and hit 14 home runs. He had a significant drop-off from his All-Star campaign in 2023. However, playing for a historically bad White Sox team could have played a role in that. In 2023 he played 145 games, hit 38 home runs, had 80 RBIs and a .857 OPS. Robert signed a six-year, $50 million extension with the White Sox in 2020. After 2025 he has two seasons with a $20 million club options. If he plays to his potential and stays healthy, that might actually be a bargain. Hernández was great for the Dodgers playing on his one-year deal. He hit a career-high 33 home runs and was named an All-Star. He became a fan favorite and was key in their World Series title. However, if they cannot agree to a deal with him, someone else will surely pay him what he wants. More MLB: $260 million All-Star hints at Yankees trade on social media

Researchers from a local university are conducting a community-led research project to map the drug crisis in Surrey. Michael Ma, PhD and Tara Lyons, PhD from Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) are working with the Surrey Union of Drug Users (SUDU) to highlight "the lack of specific research on Surrey’s toxic drug supply crisis, harm reduction and the regulation of people who use drugs," notes a KPU news release Tuesday (Dec. 10). Surrey had the second-highest number of drug overdose deaths in the province for the first nine months of 2024, according to the B.C. Coroners Service . Gina Egilson, a board member at SUDU, said, "Surrey's losing more and more people to toxic drug overdoses, with at least four to five people dying every week." “There's a deep urgency to improve the system through more support and resources in Surrey. This research will be an empowering skill-building opportunity that will help guide SUDU's advocacy." In an October article for Oxford University Press , Ma noted that the majority of research on overdoses in B.C. is focused on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, even though most overdoses have occurred in Vancouver, Surrey and Victoria. “For too many years there hasn't been enough focus on the escalating drug crisis in Surrey,” Ma said. “So we want to try to build more capacity and support in Surrey through resources, funding and infrastructure.” The project will draw from people with lived experience of substance use, who will take an "active role as participants and collaborators in the research," notes the KPU release. “This research is just not for pure scholarly academic reasons. It’s a community development project that has a research component. It can be leveraged for social action to generate new social, economic and political policy that could benefit people who are suffering, being misunderstood or being under-researched,” Ma said. Pete Woodrow, a board member at SUDU, said, “I've never seen this kind of collaboration between people of lived experience and established researchers." “It not only creates a bridge of understanding between two groups that would not normally have contact, it also gives us an opportunity to gain a greater handle on where services are most needed. So often the intent of help falls short or misses the mark due to the lack of a proper map of marginalized population.” Lyons added, “We don’t see people as objects of study in the work we're doing. They're experts who are guiding the kind of questions we're going to ask and how we will communicate the information.” A $339,159 grant from the College and Community Social Innovation will help fund this project.Trump invited China's Xi to his inauguration even as he threatened massive tariffs on Beijing

Ange Postecoglou believes Tottenham's 1-1 draw at Rangers will prove to be a "really important point" in the context of their Europa League campaign. Spurs were indebted to a 75th-minute leveller from substitute Dejan Kulusevski and, while they remain outside of the top eight places in the league phase of the competition, Postecoglou's injury-hit group are ninth ahead of games against Hoffenheim and Elfsborg in January. "I thought we worked our way back into the game and scored a good goal. Big save by Frase (Fraser Forster) at the end and in terms of our European season, a really important point," Postecoglou told TNT Sports. "It's fair to say we're in a bit of a struggle. Being down on numbers, the players understand that a lot of them, we're asking for a lot of repeated efforts and it takes its toll, but we hung in there tonight, which was important. "The next round of European games are not for a while, which will help us for sure. I think when we look back, it will be an important point for us." Spurs turn their attention to Sunday's trip to Southampton, which is followed by a Carabao Cup quarter-final at home to Manchester United before Premier League leaders Liverpool visit on December 22 to round off a packed 10-day period. Postecoglou added: "It's a big week for us this week. Southampton on Sunday is a massive game away and then we have Carabao Cup quarter-final at home against Man United and then Liverpool. "It is a great week for us to build into. Thankful tonight everyone got through unscathed and we'll focus on Sunday now."
