Maui stunner: CU Buffs upset No. 2 UConnJohn Legend and Chrissy Teigen ’s daughter Luna is already working on the art of negotiation. The 8-year-old recently noted that she wants her father to budge a little when it comes to possibly owning a cellphone in the near future. However, her parents—who also share kids Miles , 6, Esti , 22 months, and son Wren , 17 months—have a rule in place that she has to be 16 years old before she has one. “Lately, we’ve been getting some good advice about like phones and social media and how dangerous they are, and how we’re not gonna let you have a smartphone until you’re like, 16 years old,” John told Luna who interviewed him for Billboard in a video published Dec. 27. “What do you think of that advice?” Luna was all for it, but suggested that her mom and dad bend a little, asking her dad, “How about we compromise on nine?” The “All of Me” singer simply chuckled at the idea. And while Luna is focused on the idea of having a cellphone, Chrissy recently shared that her and John’s youngest baby girl has another interest . "A few months ago, Esti mysteriously became obsessed with John Cena ," Chrissy captioned her Instagram carousel post Dec. 21. "So I got her more John Cena’s and now she can’t do anything without a John Cena." In the photo dump, Esti is seen playing with a variety of John Cena figures while wearing rose-printed pajamas. At one point, the Sports Illustrated model can be seen asking her baby girl if she "married John Cena" after she tried to put the model's ring on him. The model’s final video also shows Esti trying to type on a kids' keyboard using the action figure's arm, and she didn’t stop there. The adorable tot also used a mini figurine of the Ricky Stanicky star to pet the family dog. And no matter their interests, John and Chrissy are focused on making sure they celebrate all their children. "I think we also try to make sure that we're there for our kids in the moments that really matter and really help shape their personalities and their views in life,” the musician told E! News in April. “We really talk to them about how to be good people." Keep reading for more on John, Chrissy and their adorable family...

Walmart’s DEI rollback signals a profound shift in the wake of Trump’s election victoryIt was a perfect measuring stick for a team still trying to find itself a quarter of the way through a season that isn’t going the way anyone expected. Bring in one of the best teams in the NHL, turn them loose in Rogers Place and let’s see where the inexplicably average stand. Turns out they didn’t stand at all. They got rolled over. They weren’t good enough. And they didn’t play hard enough. The Minnesota Wild schooled them on both counts Thursday. Despite the Oilers getting more gifts than a rich kid whose birthday falls on Christmas, the Wild still beat them for fun in a 5-3 victory that everyone in the place knew was more like 6-1. Minnesota had one goal taken off the board and another disallowed while Edmonton had one goal go in off a Wild skate and another beat Marc-Andre Fleury from 160 feet away. And the game still wasn’t close. There is no sugar-coating it: The gap between the Oilers and the best teams in the league is disturbingly large. Against opponents with winning records, Edmonton has just two wins in 10 tries (2-6-2), beating Calgary and Vancouver and losing to Winnipeg, Calgary, Dallas, Carolina, Jersey, Vegas, Toronto and Minnesota by a combined score of 33-12. “I don’t think we’ve played close to our potential many nights,” said defenceman Mattias Ekholm. “We know we played a lot better hockey (at their peak) last year but in order to get there it starts with the work, it starts with the defensive side of the game.” The sky isn’t falling yet. The Oilers are still hanging around a wildcard spot (10th in Western Conference winning percentage) with 61 games to go. Teams that sit 10-9-2 in mid November can still make it to the Stanley Cup Final. But teams that play like the Oilers are playing right now don’t make it past the first round. “I definitely believe in this team,” said head coach Kris Knoblauch, who has no other choice. “I think we should be better than our record, but it’s a hard game. You need good players, but you need good players working hard. Collectively, we can do more.” That’s the issue right now. In the hard areas of the ice, Edmonton isn’t hard enough. “We talk about that all the time,” said 39-year-old winger Corey Perry, who is third among Oilers forwards in goals this year with four. “The (other) goalies are seeing too many shots and we’re trying to be too cute playing the perimeter game. It just doesn’t work.” Remember at the start of the season when Viktor Arvidsson and Jeff Skinner came to Edmonton, joining Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman as wingmen for and Leon Draisaitl? And the Oilers had the best top six in the NHL? Well, it’s 21 games in and after you get past McDavid and Draisaitl four of the next five leading scorers on this team are defencemen. After McDavid and Draisaitl, the forward with the most five-on-five points is third line winger Mattias Janmark. Arvidsson, who can’t seem to stay healthy, is injured, Skinner has bounced through all four lines already and Hyman and Nugent-Hopkins are a rumour, combining for four even-strength goals (two each) in 41 man games. “Overall, we have to find ways to score goals,” said Knoblauch. “You need skill to do that but you also need some grit, simplifying your game and going hard to the net.” Knoblauch wonders if some of his forwards are getting caught up in the McDavid-Draisaitl hype and forgetting what it takes to score goals when you aren’t one of the best players in the world. “We have incredibly skilled players who can make those plays,” Knoblauch said of his two lead dogs. “And when you’re playing with those guys and you see them doing it, sometimes the other players get mistaken identity and try that extra pass and play on the perimeter rather than shooting for a rebound and getting to the net. It’s little things like that.” It’s a similar theme around Edmonton’s net, where opposing players are setting up shop with very little resistance. “In the defensive zone it’s not being able to close things out and also losing battles around the net, the most important area,” said Knoblauch. “All (Minnesota’s) goals were five or 10 feet away from the blue paint. I don’t think we did enough to get there and defensively we didn’t do a good enough job boxing out.” And, in goal, Stuart Skinner ranks 52nd in the NHL in save percentage out of 60 goalies who’ve played five or more games this year. On a team that can’t score and isn’t committed enough around its own net, this is the last straw. “He’s not playing the level he was last year,” said Knoblauch. “Last year I thought he was one of the top goaltenders and if he had a bad game it was turned around the next night.” But while Skinner hasn’t been good enough, the Oilers are also not an easy team to be a goalie on. “For a goalie to play well we have to be more predictable for him,” said Knoblauch. “What kind of shots are we giving up? Where are they coming from? Taking away the high danger shots. Tonight was not a predictable game for a goaltender to turn his game around.” So the mystery continues. Is this another slow start that’s going to be wiped from the memory banks when the real show up and start tearing through the league? Or is this it? Is this who they are now? E-mail:
NEW YORK — The rumbling buses echoed for blocks on the quiet campus at Fordham University. Nebraska’s sprawling football operation had arrived. This isn’t the typical home team, the FCS-level Rams that just completed a 2-10 season. The Huskers took the practice field on a cold and sunny Thursday afternoon flanked by social-media cameras and a host of staffers. A post-practice grab-and-go buffet line greeted players afterward as they headed the few miles back toward downtown Manhattan and an evening at a high-profile ping-pong club. “Just looking around, spending time with each other,” freshman linebacker Vincent Shavers said of more time in New York City. “I ain’t never did this before with no other team so I’m very happy. I’m grateful for them.” Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” played on the sound system as Nebraska went through workouts two days before the Pinstripe Bowl. The Huskers practiced at Joe Moglia Field — Moglia, a Fordham alumnus, was once the executive advisor to former NU coach Bo Pelini in 2009 and 2010 — on an artificial surface shared also by the Fordham soccer and baseball teams. Baseball’s press box named after another famous graduate, Vin Scully, was only yards away as the visiting Big Ten team went through drills. The gated campus — just a couple blocks away from bustling neighborhood streets in the Bronx — was covered with small piles of snow scattered throughout. Temperatures in the sun felt perhaps in the mid-40s while shady conditions felt closer to 20. New Nebraska assistant coaches Daikiel Shorts (receivers) and Phil Simpson (outside linebackers) spoke with a smattering of reporters afterward along with a few players. Coach Matt Rhule will talk midday Friday as part of a Pinstripe availability before kickoff Saturday at noon eastern time. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
