Task force supports phone bans in schools10 notable books of 2024, from Sarah J. Maas to Melania TrumpPittsburgh Steelers pass rusher T.J. Watt and his wife, Dani Rhodes, are awfully close to having their first child together. T.J. and Dani went on their babymoon during Pittsburgh's bye week. She shared a few photos from their trip on Instagram along with the caption, "Soaking it all in." Unsurprisingly, the former professional soccer player showed off her baby bump. For those unfamiliar with Rhodes and Watt's story, they met when thy were students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. They were both athletes for the Badgers. In 2022, they got married in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. "When I was a little girl I never thought I'd find someone special enough to ever change my last name... But I found him and couldn't be happier to share a name with the man of my dreams," Rhodes said after the wedding. View the original article to see embedded media. Rhodes and Watt announced in September that they're expecting a baby. As you'd expect, they received countless responses from Pittsburgh fans. Before Watt can officially get ready for fatherhood, he'll have to lace up his cleats for a Thursday night showdown against the Cleveland Browns. Watt, the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 2021, is having another productive season with the Steelers. In 10 games, he has racked up 36 tackles, 18 quarterback hits, 7.5 sacks and four forced fumbles. Last month, he became the second-fastest player in league history to record 100 career sacks. It wouldn't surprise us at all if Watt makes a game-changing play this evening against the Browns. Related: J.J. Watt Reacts To His Athlete Wife's Stunning Vacation Photos

PETER WRIGHT’S mind games worked perfectly as he out-psyched Luke Humphries to dethrone the world champion in frenetic fashion. Snakebite, 54, defied the 25-year age gap and produced a masterclass of finishing to win 4-1 in the fourth round of the PDC World Darts Championship and back up his pre-game trash talk . Follow all the action from the World Darts Championship as it happens with SunSport's LIVE blog Humphries , 29, dramatically bombed out of the competition, almost 12 months after he ruled the world for the first time. The world No1 will not defend the Sid Waddell Trophy – Gary Anderson in 2016 was the last man to achieve that feat – after suffering his first defeat in nine successive games on the Ally Pally stage. It spectacularly opens up the top half of the draw and means 17-year-old Luke Littler has an excellent chance to become the youngest world champion in history. Two-time world champion Wright went from his sick bed to the doubles bed and took out exactly 70 per cent of his doubles in the shock result of the 2024/25 tournament. READ MORE IN DARTS The Scotsman, 54, riled the defending world champ pre-game by predicting Raymond van Barneveld would KO him in round three. That never happened, as the Dutchman lost early, but Wright had predicted that he and Barney would then have “the best game you’ve ever seen on the stage”. In response, the Berkshire thrower told his trash-talking foe there would be “egg on his face” if he did not “smash me”.

Wright – who was wearing another snazzy Christmas top – was coughing and spluttering last Friday due to a chest infection but was better this time and did his usual dance on the stage for the fans. He was really up for this one, too, and took a 1-0 lead, the first set that Humphries had conceded at world level since becoming world champion last January. Humphries responded with a 161 in leg one and then produced an under-pressure steal in leg five to level up at 1-1. At the TV break, Wright changed his darts – as he often does – and opened set three with a brilliant 83 before then swapping them back again to move 2-1 ahead with a 96. The crowd sensed the upset was coming and when he moved 3-1 up, there was a TV ad break for the players to regroup backstage. Wright emphatically opened set five with a Bull finish on 88 – Humphries acknowledged that with a fist-bump – and then sealed his best win this year on double eight. On New Year’s Day, Wright now plays No8 seed Stephen Bunting or Luke Woodhouse and that tie will be concluded on Monday. Speaking after his huge win, Wright said: "He didn’t play like he can. I have never had support like this in my life. Thank you. It’s amazing. "I have struggled for form all year. It’s so annoying. I know I can still play darts. I switched to another set there to try and find something. "This crowd, I have never experienced anything like it in the world. Absolutely amazing. "Lucky that I wasn’t playing the Luke Humphries of last year as he was absolutely awesome then. "I am a double world champion. I wanted to win it for the third time. I am not too old. "You only have to play well for two-and-a-half weeks in the whole year. Doesn’t matter what else you do. READ MORE SUN STORIES "This is all that matters. I am in the quarter-finals.
