Hail Flutie: BC celebrates 40th anniversary of Miracle in MiamiJohnson Controls prices senior notes offering
NASSAU, Bahamas — Scottie Scheffler brought a new putting grip to the Hero World Challenge and felt enough improvement to be satisfied with the result, a 5-under 67 that left him three shots behind Cameron Young on Thursday. Young was playing for the first time since the BMW Championship more than three months ago and found great success on and around the greens of Albany Golf Club, chipping beautifully and holing four birdie putts from 15 feet or longer for his 64. He led by two shots over Justin Thomas in his first competition since his daughter was born a few weeks ago. Thomas ran off four straight birdies late in his round and was a fraction of an inch away with a fifth. The big surprise was Scheffler, the No. 1 player in golf who looked as good as he has all year in compiling eight victories, including an Olympic gold medal. His iron play has no equal. His putting at times has kept him from winning more or winning bigger. He decided to try to a "saw" putting grip from about 20 feet or closer — the putter rests between his right thumb and his fingers, with his left index finger pointed down the shaft. "I'm always looking for ways to improve," Scheffler said. Scheffler last year began working with renowned putting instructor Phil Kenyon, and he says Kenyon mentioned the alternative putting grip back then. "But it was really our first time working together and it's something that's different than what I've done in the past," Scheffler said. "This year I had thought about it from time to time, and it was something that we had just said let's table that for the end of the season, take a look at it. "Figured this is a good week to try stuff." He opened with a wedge to 2 feet and he missed a 7-foot birdie putt on the par-5 third. But he holed a birdie from about the same distance at the next par 5, No. 6, and holed a sliding 6-footer on the ninth to save par. His longest putt was his last hole, from 12 feet for a closing birdie. "I really enjoyed the way it felt," he said. "I felt like I'm seeing some improvements in my stroke." Young, regarded as the best active player without a PGA Tour victory, is treating this holiday tournament as the start of a new season. He worked on getting stronger and got back to the basics in his powerful golf swing. And on this day, he was dialed in with his short game. He only struggled to save par twice and kept piling up birdies in his bogey-free round on an ideal day in the Bahamas. "The wind wasn't blowing much so it was relatively stress-free," Young said. Patrick Cantlay, along with Scheffler playing for the first time since the Presidents Cup, also was at 67 with Ludvig Aberg, Akshay Bhatia and Sahith Theegala. Thomas also took this occasion to do a little experimenting against a 20-man field. He has using a 46-inch driver at home — a little more than an inch longer than his regular driver — in a bid to gain more speed. On a day with little wind, on a golf course with some room off the tee, he decided to put it in play. "Just with it being a little bit longer, I just kind of have to get the club out in front of me and get on top of it a little bit more," Thomas said. "I drove the hell out of it on the back, so that was nice to try something different and have it go a little bit better on the back." Thomas said the longer driver gives him 2 or 3 mph in ball speed and 10 extra yards in the air. "It's very specific for courses, but gave it a try," he said. Conditions were easy enough that only four players in field failed to break par, with Jason Day bringing up the rear with a 75.

The programme uncovered a trove of WhatsApp messages in which Mrs Netanyahu appears to instruct a former aide to organise protests against political opponents and to intimidate Hadas Klein, a key witness in the trial. The announcement did not mention Mrs Netanyahu by name and the Justice Ministry declined further comment. Earlier on Thursday, Mr Netanyahu blasted the Uvda report as “lies”. It is the latest in a long line of legal troubles for the Netanyahus, highlighted by the PM’s ongoing corruption trial. Mr Netanyahu is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in a series of cases alleging he exchanged favours with powerful media moguls and wealthy associates. He denies the charges and says he is the victim of a “witch hunt” by overzealous prosecutors, police and the media.

The Buffalo Bills are 13-3 and have wrapped up the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs, giving them an opportunity to have a de facto bye week against the New England Patriots in Week 18. In the process, Josh Allen has finished the season with 41 total touchdowns, becoming the first player in history to do so in five consecutive years. When asked about his star quarterback and the MVP race after the game, head coach Sean McDermott made it clear who he thinks the award should go to. "Josh Allen is the MVP," McDermott said. "I've been around this league long enough to know. To see MVP's every year for many years and what he has done on this team, in this organization, in this community - and no offense to anybody else - but I've got a hard time believing that someone has done more." Allen had arguably the most efficient season in his career, finishing with a career-low six interceptions on top of his 41 touchdowns. Considering how many people completely wrote off the Bills coming into this season, it is difficult to make the argument that Allen doesn't deserve the award.
The NFL single-season rushing record has stood for 40 years, far longer than Saquon Barkley has been on this planet. But now, with two games to play, the Philadelphia Eagles running back is 268 yards from eclipsing the mark of Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson, who set the league record of 2,105 with the Rams in 1984. Barkley, 27, who signed with the Eagles last offseason after spending the first part of his career with the rival New York Giants, is also 162 yards from becoming the ninth player to run for 2,000 yards in a season. The other seven are Adrian Peterson (2,097 with Minnesota in 2012), Jamal Lewis (2,066 with Baltimore in 2003), Barry Sanders (2,053 with Detroit in 1997), Derrick Henry (2027 with Tennessee in 2020), Terrell Davis (2,008 with Denver in 1998), Chris Johnson (2,006 with Tennessee in 2009) and O.J. Simpson (2,003 with Buffalo in 1973). The Eagles finish the regular season with home games against the Dallas Cowboys and the Giants. Dickerson spoke to The Times this week about Barkley, running backs in general, the Rams and the thought of his longstanding record going away: How do you feel about the possibility of Barkley breaking your single-season rushing record? I don’t think he’ll break it. But if he breaks it, he breaks it. Do I want him to break it? Absolutely not. I don’t pull no punches on that. But I’m not whining about it. He had 17 games to do it? Hey, football is football. That’s the way I look at it. If he’s fortunate to get over 2,000 yards and get the record, it’s a great record to have. So the 17 games part doesn’t bother you, even though you set it with 16 games? O.J. Simpson was my favorite player. He went over 2,000 yards in 14 games. It took me 15 games to get to 2,000. I had one extra game to play. Getting to 2,000 is an accomplishment in itself. I got close to that three other times. Do you look at it from the perspective that the record is eventually going to fall? I’ve always said that the one that’s going to last the longest is me setting the rookie record with 1,808. Because you only get one shot at that. You’re only a rookie once. What do you think of Barkley as a back? I like him. But I tend to like big backs. He’s not a big back like I was. He’s elusive, he’s tough, he runs hard, he can catch the ball out of the backfield. I think he’s a great player. I always felt like he’d never reach his potential when he was in New York. You could take Emmitt Smith and put him in Cleveland, and he’d have never been the Emmitt Smith we know now. So it’s location, location, location? Yes. Even myself. If you’d have put me in Cincinnati on a bad team, I’d have never been that guy. Because these bad football teams with no blocking, I don’t care how great you are. If you don’t have the guys in front of you, you can’t do it. And that’s why you go to those lengths to thank your blockers? I saw what [San Francisco quarterback] Brock Purdy did with his offensive line, buying them those Tundras. I got a text from Jackie [Slater, Hall of Fame Rams tackle], “Hey, man, where’s my Tundra?” I told him I was making $175,000 at the time. I could afford about two Tundras and be broke. Will you be tuned in to watch Barkley? I don’t sit down and watch games, except the Rams, and I work for the team. But I’ll have no choice but to keep up with it because I get so many text messages. People blowing up my phone like, “Man, it’s not fair. He gets 17 games,” or, “We’re going to put a hex on him.” Any thoughts on Rams running back Kyren Williams? I like him as a back. He’s able to carry the ball 29, 28, 27 times. That takes a toll on you. I was able to do it, but there’s very few backs that are able to do that. He’s not a real big guy, so that says a lot about him as a player, and what Sean McVay thinks of him. I look at McVay and think he’s done a fantastic job of coaching this team. Do you think McVay should be in the Coach of the Year conversation? Of course he does. He probably won’t get it because they’re going to give it to a coach who’s 15-2 or 14-3. But McVay has a young team, a team that at one point was decimated by injuries. They lost three in a row and weren’t looking good. And right now they’re in position to win the NFC West. What else does it take [to win Coach of the Year]? Back to Barkley, are you surprised the Giants let him go? Let me tell you something. When you look at certain people who run these teams, some of these guys have as much sense as me being the president of the United States. That’s about how much they should be running a football team. In my contract, when the Rams traded me to the Colts, did you know I couldn’t come back to the NFC for five years? They put that clause in there. The Eagles finish the regular season against the Giants. If the record is up for grabs... A real team would be like, “Oh no, you ain’t gonna get that record on us.” But how ironic would it be for him to break the record on them, the team that let him go. A true slap in the face.'I used maternity leave to launch my mug business'
Supporters wave flags as Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris delivers remarks, conceding the election to Donald Trump, at Howard University on Nov 6. I do not claim to know a lot about American politics. For better or worse, my knowledge about the topic is restricted to the names of a few American politicians, how the Electoral College system works, and a handful of policies that lawmakers have tabled over the years. As such, I do not have a strongly informed opinion on the recent elections there, like many others do. However, I have observed that opinions on the matter have been extremely polarising. One’s choice of candidate is often framed as a moral choice. For this reason, debate on the matter often ends up being emotionally charged, leaving both sides feeling hurt and misunderstood. One of my American friends in Singapore commented that such conflicts permanently alter the complexion of relationships. This phenomenon is not unique to the US, and it is timely for us to look at Singaporeans’ tolerance towards diverse opinions. Are we intolerant towards different views? Edelman’s 2023 Trust Barometer Report revealed that 44 per cent of Singaporeans believed the lack of civility and mutual respect then was the worst they had ever seen. Fewer than one in three Singaporeans also said they would be willing to help someone in need if they strongly disagreed with that person. It would appear therefore that we are relatively intolerant. But does it have to be this way? It may be painful to realise that those we care about disagree with opinions we fervently hold on to. However, efforts to weave a stronger social fabric in Singapore begin with the individual. Could we consider seeking to understand differences in opinions and choose to remain civil despite these differences?
