Minnesota (6-5, 4-4) lost to No. 4 Penn State 26-25. Wisconsin (5-6, 3-5 Big Ten) lost its fourth straight, 44-25, at Nebraska in a game that was not as close as the score. "Well 1890 is the first time we played this football team coming up and this is what it's all about," Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck said of the rivalry. "And you wouldn't want to have it any other way, being able to end the season with one of your biggest rivals. I know our guys will be ready to go, ready to play." Wisconsin has 22 consecutive winning seasons since going 5-7 under Barry Alvarez in 2001, the longest active streak among Power 4 teams. The Badgers also have played in a bowl game in each of the last 22 seasons, the longest active streak in the Big Ten and third-longest in FBS. Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell is more concerned with the rivalry game than the winning season and bowl streaks. "I'm not downplaying it, I'm not saying it's not important, I'm not saying it's another thing that's on our plate," Fickell said Monday. "But when it gets down to this last week, it's about one thing, it's about the rivalry. It's about preparing to play in the most important game of the year." The Gophers have dropped their last two games after winning four in a row. Minnesota averages 26.6 points per game, while allowing 18.5, 15th-best in the country. Max Brosmer has completed 67 percent of his passes for 221 per game with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. Daniel Jackson is the top target with 69 catches for 802 yards and three scores, and Darius Taylor is the top rusher with 730 yards at 4.8 per carry with nine touchdowns. One week after leading Oregon after three quarters, the Wisconsin defense was shredded for 473 yards and five touchdowns by Nebraska. Braedyn Locke, who took over at quarterback when Tyler Van Dyke suffered an early season-ending knee injury, has thrown at least one interception in eight consecutive games. Locke has completed 56.4 percent of his passes for 180.6 yards per game, with 12 touchdowns and 10 picks. Tawee Walker is the leading rusher with 828 yards at 4.7 per carry with 10 touchdowns. He has failed to reach 60 yards in three of the last four games. Former Wisconsin and NFL standout JJ Watt posted on social media his assessment - and frustration - with the Badgers after the Nebraska game. "Losing happens, it's part of the game. Hearing announcers talk about how much tougher and more physical Nebraska & Iowa are while getting blown out ... that's the issue," Watt wrote on X. "We are Wisconsin. Physicality, running game, great O-Line and great defense. That is our identity." Wisconsin defeated the Gophers 28-14 last after Minnesota had won the previous two meetings. The Badgers have won 7 of the last 10 and lead the storied series 63-62-8. --Field Level Media
Tirelessly year after year, Marta has championed the women's game even when it felt like nobody else did. So when Marta lifted a long-awaited NWSL trophy this weekend, women's football united in the energy-emitting glow of the Brazilian GOAT. Marta has been named FIFA Women's Player of the Year six times and has won three Olympic silver medals. Her genuine love for the game and the freedom with which she plays have wowed and inspired people all over the world. The Brazilian is a special character and a generational talent, and here at Sporting News, with the dust settling on another breathless NWSL season, we are taking the chance to tip our cap to a legend and look back on some of Marta's most wholesome and awe-inspiring moments on and off the pitch. Marta's most heartwarming moments and career highlights NWSL Champions with Marta's mom watching on Marta grew up in an impoverished area of Brazil called Dois Riachos; she was one of four siblings born to a single mother. Now 38 years old, with eight years of playing in the US under her belt, it was only this weekend that Marta played a match on US soil with her mom in the crowd. Tereza travelled all the way to Kansas City from Brazil to watch her daughter play, and would prove to be the soccer legend's good luck charm. Marta finally had her hands on the much sought-after trophy with Orlando Pride . After full-time, Marta and her mother embraced, but the side-to-side shot perhaps illustrates the beauty of the moment best. Just look at what an #NWSL championship means to Marta and her mum, Tereza 🥹🇧🇷 On Tereza's first trip to the USA to watch her daughter play, she claims her first championship after eight years of trying. Football 💜 #NWSLChampionship pic.twitter.com/iEycuF8UT3 Marta and Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw share a moment Touted as Marta's final World Cup, the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand took on added significance for Marta and her nation, Brazil. Led by legendary Swedish head coach Pia Sundhage, who had just guided Brazil to victory in the Copa America 2022, expectations were high. Brazil were drawn into what seemed a simple group, and after a comfortable win against Panama, Brazil lost to France, meaning that only victory against Jamaica would take Brazil through to the knockout rounds. Marta's Brazil huffed and puffed, but they were unable to break through a stubborn Jamaican defence, and the match finished 0-0. Brazil were stunningly knocked out at the group stage for the first time since Marta laced up her boots for her country. It was a crushing blow, and Marta was clearly devastated after the final whistle. While Marta exiting the World Cup was the big story, Jamaica had simultaneously become the first Caribbean team to make the Women's World Cup knockout stages after extensive disputes with the Jamaican FA over payment and funding, which at one point saw the team almost completely funded by Bob Marley's daughter Cedella Marley. After the game Marta approached Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw embracing her and congratulating the captain of the Reggae Girlz. When Shaw was asked what Marta had said to her responded "She just said that she's watched our journey ever since we qualified, and she credits us because every time we got knocked down, we still get up and keep pushing." Women's World Cup 2007 - Marta inspired Brazil dump USA out The 2007 World Cup was a seminal moment in women's football — more than anything, it represented the true arrival of one of the true greats onto the world stage. Marta had been featured at the World Cup four years earlier, where she had helped Brazil to the quarterfinals. But now she was a little more mature and was playing with a swagger, a street footballer-like magic that it seems only Brazilians have the ability to conjure up. Marta danced her way through to the semifinals with Brazil, where they would face the mighty USA. To this day, the match is a sore spot for fans of the USWNT who may still lament head coach Greg Ryan's unexpected decision to bench Hope Solo in favour of Briana Scurry --- the famous goalkeeper for the ninety-niners who was perhaps at that stage past her best. Marta put on a show in China that night; her goals helped Brazil to a 4-0 win and a place in the World Cup final. Although defeated by Germany in the final, Marta won the Golden Ball, the Golden Boot and the hearts of millions the world over. Humble Marta and her guitar Former England international Anita Asante recently penned a beautiful article for the BBC about her former roommate from her time playing for FC Rosengard, a certain Brazilian called Marta. Asante fondly remembers her time with Marta after joining her in Sweden in 2013, "Marta is such a humble person. She definitely has an aura --- but she would never make anyone else feel she was higher than them. She didn't act like a superstar." The former Lioness also remembers Marta's penchant for bringing her guitar wherever she went, often whimsically playing and singing a tune to herself in Portuguese. Marta's speech that inspired millions It is impossible to distil the essence of a legend into five moments. There are so many more that could have been included from Marta's UEFA Women's Champions League title for Umea IK to her player of the tournament performances at major tournament after major tournament. But part of her brilliance is her ability to inspire future generations without fail. After exiting the 2019 World Cup to hosts France, Marta gave a spine tingling call to arms for young women's footballers around the world. Staring into the camera Marta issued her rallying cry : "It's wanting more. It's training more. It's taking care of yourself more. It's being ready to play 90 plus 30 minutes. This is what I ask of the girls. The women's game depends on you to survive, so think about that. Value it more. Cry in the beginning so you can smile in the end." We have long known Marta as a champion, but Sunday confirmed her time in the NWSL would be complemented by more than one piece of silverware, so I will leave the final words that will warm the hearts of Marta fans everywhere, to the legend herself : “I’ve asked myself why I still play for Orlando after eight years, I’m the only player on this club since 2017. And I’ve had so many questions, but now I have the answer.”Japanese figure skaters Mone Chiba and Shun Sato topped the standings after shining in the short programme at the Grand Prix Cup of China in Chongqing on Friday. Chiba, 19, skating to Donna Summer's "Last Dance", scored 70.86 to edge 0.02 points ahead of Amber Glenn of the United States. Rion Sumiyoshi, also of Japan, was less than half a point behind in third place. In the men's event, 20-year-old Sato delivered an almost flawless routine on the way to a season's best 98.75. That gave him a five-point lead over Mikhail Shaidorov of Kazakhstan ahead of Saturday's free skate. France's Adam Siao Him Fa, reigning champion in Chongqing, came in third with 91.22, after the World bronze medalist landed his signature backflip but fell attempting a quadruple jump. China's Jin Boyang -- a two-time World bronze medallist -- sits sixth after scoring 83.66 in front of his home crowd. In ice dance, European champions and real-life Italian couple Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri were first, leading by three points ahead of Canadians Marjorie Lajoie and Zachary Lagha, followed by Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko of the US in third. Buoyed by their 84.84 points ahead of Saturday's free skate program, the Italian duo look set to improve on their second place at the French Grand Prix earlier in November. In the pairs event, Sara Conti and Niccolo Macii -- also of Italy -- put on a dazzling display to take first place. They are ahead of Germany's Minerva Fabienne Hase and Nikita Volodin, with Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud of Canada at third. The German pair were on course for a massive score before Volodin inexplicably fell during a step sequence. The Cup of China is the final Grand Prix in the 2024/25 series, representing the last chance for skaters to qualify for December's final in Grenoble.Russia missile suspected in Azerbaijani plane crash, Moscow warns against 'hypotheses'

Javon Small scored 31 points to rally West Virginia to an 86-78 overtime upset of No. 3 Gonzaga in the opening round of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, Wednesday in Nassau, Bahamas. The Mountaineers (4-1) trailed by 10 points early in the second half and by five in the final minute. But over the final 19 seconds of regulation, Tucker DeVries scored five straight points to send the game to overtime. In the extra session, Small scored five points and West Virginia held Gonzaga to a single field goal, which came after the outcome was decided with 19 seconds left. Amani Hansberry added a career-high 19 points and eight rebounds for West Virginia, which advances to the semifinals Thursday against another surprise first-round winner, Louisville, which stunned No. 15 Indiana. Braden Huff scored 19 points and Khalif Battle added 16 points for Gonzaga (5-1) which settles for a consolation-round game Thursday against Indiana. Nolan Hickman tallied 13 points. Ryan Nembhard delivered seven points and 12 assists for the Bulldogs. Huff put Gonzaga in position to win when he made three hook shots in the final 2:34 of regulation as the Bulldogs turned a one-point deficit into a 69-66 lead. Two free throws by Nembhard expanded the lead to 71-66 with 25 seconds left. But DeVries followed with a 3-pointer from the top of the key and then made a mid-court steal and drew a foul with 5.9 seconds left. His two free throws sent it to overtime. The Mountaineers never trailed in overtime. Sencire Harris wrapped it up with a steal and a breakaway slam that put West Virginia up 84-76 with 26 seconds left. Battle, a transfer from Arkansas, scored eight points in a span of 90 seconds late in the first half as the Bulldogs took control on their way to a 39-31 lead at the break. Gonzaga earned its biggest lead early in the second half when Graham Ike scored inside with an assist from Nembhard to make it 43-33. But West Virginia responded with a 17-2 run, fueled by Small as he hit two 3-pointers and two layups. Hansberry drained a trey and DeVries grinded for a putback layup to give the Mountaineers a 50-45 lead with 12:26 left. DeVries finished the game with 16 points and four blocks. --Field Level MediaSysco's SYY short percent of float has risen 14.68% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 14.65 million shares sold short , which is 3.36% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.05 days to cover their short positions on average. Why Short Interest Matters Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. Short selling is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises. Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish. See Also: List of the most shorted stocks Sysco Short Interest Graph (3 Months) As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Sysco has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted. Comparing Sysco's Short Interest Against Its Peers Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis. According to Benzinga Pro , Sysco's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.32%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers. Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.

Robinson will be available to play when the Rams (5-6) visit the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Rams coach Sean McVay said Wednesday. “I think he does understand the severity of this, and how lucky we were that nobody was injured,” McVay said. “I do believe that he's remorseful. We are going to let the legal process take place. The league has a process as well.” Robinson was arrested early Monday morning after California Highway Patrol officers observed a white Dodge sedan driving over 100 mph on the 101 freeway in the western San Fernando Valley, a few miles from the Rams’ training complex in Woodland Hills. The driver, who identified himself as Robinson, had “objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment,” the CHP said in a statement released to The Associated Press. Robinson spoke to the team and expressed remorse about his arrest, McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford said. “I think it was a bad decision he made,” McVay said. “I don't think that makes him a bad person, and I do believe this is something that, with the words that he said, our guys will learn from it, and hopefully nobody is ever going to repeat something like this. Let it be a learning opportunity, and a fortunate outcome that nobody was injured.” Robinson has 26 receptions for 384 yards and a team-leading six touchdown catches while starting all 11 games in his second season with the Rams . He caught a TD pass in the Rams' 37-20 loss to Philadelphia several hours before his arrest. The nine-year NFL veteran has served as a capable No. 3 option for Stafford behind star receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Robinson spent his first six NFL seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, winning a Super Bowl ring in February 2020, and spent one year with Baltimore before joining the Rams last year. “Let this be a lesson to all of us,” Stafford said. “We're lucky with the result that came of it, to be honest with you, that nobody was hurt or injured. I know that D-Rob is a great person. I love being around him. Love him as a teammate. ... I'm just trying to support him, help him out any way I can.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL
What's next for retired cycling great after golden year
Leftist women are virtually throwing their bras at alleged United Healthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione in a fit of sexual mass hysteria that’s taking over social media — and it can be traced to years of denigrating masculinity. Following Mangione’s December arrest at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, he instantaneously became a progressive sex symbol, dubbed a “ prettier Jesus ” and “ too fine to get the death penalty ,” amidst much more explicit discourse . His Brooklyn jailhouse mailing address has even gone viral . When he pleaded not guilty to first degree murder charges in a New York courtroom on Monday, seats reserved for members of the public were occupied almost entirely by young women reportedly there to support the 26-year-old. More yet lined up outside with posters reading “Free Luigi.” Sure, some women in the past have inexplicably swooned over killers like Ted Bundy and Richard Ramirez. But the scale and intensity of Mangione madness is unparalleled. That’s because he’s tapped into a mass sexual frustration that’s been waiting to explode. After years of harping on toxic masculinity, shaming men and stiff-arming chivalry, some women on the left seem to have fixated on Mangione because he represents a sort of masculinity they are finally allowed to celebrate — one that is coded as politically acceptable. Murdering someone in cold blood is the most “toxic” form of masculine aggression imaginable ... unless, apparently, it’s allegedly done in the name of being anti-corporate and anticapitalist. Sure it’s hypocritical, but it makes sense on a psychological level. A generation of young women have been taught to demonize men and stifle their natural desire for the male-female dichotomy in their lives. In walks Luigi, the pinnacle of masculinity, both in terms of his aesthetics and his actions: a heteronormative frat boy with a strong jawline who allegedly committed coldblooded murder in the most brash manner possible. He’s catnip for repressed, anti-capitalist ghouls who are able to hide behind their critiques of the insurance industry — and behind their Covid-era masks, lest you try to figure out who his courthouse fans were. If leftist women are damsels in distress, held captive by the insurance industry and pricey healthcare system, Mangione is their knight in shining armor: fighting on their behalf, slaying the enemy, taking up arms to defend their cause. This feminine angst is even manifested in the form of frilly “Deny, Defend, Depose” panties, the phrase Mangione allegedly scrawled on the bullets used to ruthlessly murder Brian Thompson. Anti-capitalists are sticking it to the man by shelling out $35 for a single pair. Mangione fans can also snag a cropped tee of his mug framed in a heart with the phrase “but daddy I love him” — a Taylor Swift reference — printed in hot pink. It’s all an expression of a feral desperation for a masculine force, a sexual fantasy so twisted that these women have almost forgotten that the slain enemy is no dragon, but rather a father leaving behind two sons. After shaming the masculinity out of the men around them, ultra-feminists are left with no choice but to grasp at an exaggerated fantasy of gallantry in the form of Mangione, because, when healthy expressions of masculinity and femininity get suppressed, unhealthy extremes get fetishized. This is no mere theory. While young women today are outspokenly progressive on gender dynamics in public, a very different story is playing out behind closed doors. Privately, they are demanding en masse that their sexual partners choke them during sex. In fact, a full two-thirds of college girls — perhaps the most progressive sampling possible — report having been choked during intercourse. Young women insist that they are just as powerful as men in day to day life and yet, in the bedroom, they are turned on by handing their sexual partner the power to kill them. Because, when women are conditioned to believe that holding a door and offering a subway seat are misogynistic slights, a suppressed desire for natural gender dynamics will express itself in some other way. Clearly, third-wave feminism has left women with a distorted relationship with masculinity: It’s something to be disparaged in its healthy forms, and fetishized in its depraved extremes. That’s because young women have been taught to deny nature by emasculating their partners and suppressing their longing for the yin to their feminine yang. They drove masculinity out of their lives, and now they miss it, whether or not they even consciously know it. Enter a good-looking alleged killer whose motive aligns with their politics , and you have a sexual sensation on your hands. In our age where masculinity is toxic, vigilantism is fetishized.CabinPulse Launches Remote Monitoring Solution for Cabin Owners, No WiFi Needed 11-21-2024 10:28 PM CET | Industry, Real Estate & Construction Press release from: ABNewswire CabinPulse provides robust monitoring capabilities without requiring WiFi connectivity, ensuring that properties remain protected at all times.
