Insurgents pick up speedThe Texas Longhorns had a scary moment in the second quarter when Quinn Ewers limped off the field due to an ankle injury following a touchdown run by Jaydon Blue. Ewers appeared to be bothered by the injury for the rest of the afternoon, and the offense would rely heavily on the rushing attack. Texas star quarterback would finish the game 20-of-31 passing for 191 yards and two touchdowns. Texas would prevail in a 31-14 win over the Kentucky Wildcats at Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium on Saturday. The victory helped set up a high-stakes matchup between Texas and Texas A&M in Week 14. The game's winner will face Georgia in the SEC championship on Dec 7. The status of Ewers' availability was in doubt for Texas' contest against the Aggies at Kyle Field on Sunday morning. The junior quarterback out of Southlake, Texas underwent a precautionary MRI to determine the severity of the ankle injury. The Longhorns wanted to make sure Ewers did not have structural damage. Per Anwar Richardson of Yahoo Sports, Ewers' diagnosis is a mild ankle sprain. He is expected to start against Texas A&M. Richardson referred to the report as "good news." "Good news," Richardson posted on X. "I’m told Texas QB Quinn Ewers only has a mild ankle sprain and will be good to go for Texas A&M on Saturday." Good news! I’m told Texas QB Quinn Ewers only has a mild ankle sprain and will be good to go for Texas A&M on Saturday. pic.twitter.com/57u7usHq35 Some Texas fans on social media are concerned about Ewers' mobility for Saturday's game. "I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not," wrote a fan in response to the "good news" claim. "A mild ankle sprain, while it won’t have any negative impacts on Quinn’s future, absolutely gives Sark serious concern in playing Ewers on Saturday and beyond. Zero chance he should play with a mild ankle sprain." Nelson Chenault-Imagn Images "That 'minor' sprain sure seemed to impact him in the 2nd half of yesterday's game," posted another. "Hope he is mobile enough to pass well Sat. I don't think we will be able to rely solely on the running game." Related: Texas QB Quinn Ewers Reportedly Undergoing Medical Procedure For Injury

Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save “Barbenheimer” was a phenomenon impossible to manufacture. But, more than a year later, that hasn’t stopped people from trying to make “Glicked” — or even “Babyratu” — happen. The counterprogramming of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” in July 2023 hit a nerve culturally and had the receipts to back it up. Unlike so many things that begin as memes, it transcended its online beginnings. Instead of an either-or, the two movies ultimately complemented and boosted one another at the box office. This combination of images shows promotional art for "Gladiator II," left, and "Wicked." And ever since, moviegoers, marketers and meme makers have been trying to recreate that moment, searching the movie release schedule for odd mashups and sending candidates off into the social media void. Most attempts have fizzled (sorry, “Saw Patrol” ). People are also reading...

Movie review: 'Wicked' is designed to wow and wow again BRUCE R. MILLER “'Glicked' rolls off the tongue a little bit more,” actor Fred Hechinger said at the New York screening of “Gladiator II” this week. “I think we should all band around ‘Glicked.’ It gets too confusing if you have four or five different names for it.” As with “Barbenheimer," as reductive as it might seem, “Glicked” also has the male/female divide that make the fan art extra silly. One is pink and bright and awash in sparkles, tulle, Broadway bangers and brand tie-ins; The other is all sweat and sand, blood and bulging muscles. Both films topped Fandango’s most anticipated holiday movie survey, where 65% of respondents said that they were interested in the “Glicked” double feature. Theaters big and small are also pulling out the stops with movie-themed tie-ins. B&B Theaters will have Roman guards tearing tickets at some locations and Maximus popcorn tubs. Marcus Theaters is doing Oz photo ops and friendship bracelet-making. Alamo Drafthouse is leaning into the singalong aspect (beware, though, not all theaters are embracing this) and the punny drinks like “Defying Gravi-Tea.” This image released by Universal Pictures shows Cynthia Erivo, left, and Ariana Grande in a scene from the film "Wicked." “Rather than it being in competition, I think they’re in conversation,” “Gladiator II” star Paul Mescal said. “This industry needs a shot in the arm. Those films gave it last year. We hope to do it this year.” And the hope is that audiences will flock to theaters to be part of this moment as well. It's a sorely needed influx of could-be blockbusters into a marketplace that's still at an 11% deficit from last year and down 27.2% from 2019, according to data from Comscore. “Competition is good for the marketplace. It’s good for consumers,” said Michael O'Leary, the president and CEO of the National Association of Theatre Owners. “Having two great movies coming out at the same time is simply a multiplier effect.” “Glicked” is currently tracking for a combined North American debut in the $165 million range, with “Wicked” forecast to earn around $100 million (up from the $80 million estimates a few weeks ago) and “Gladiator II” pegged for the $65 million range. “Barbenheimer” shattered its projections last July. Going into that weekend, “Barbie” had been pegged for $90 million and “Oppenheimer” around $40 million. Ultimately, they brought in a combined $244 million in that first outing, and nearly $2.4 billion by the end of their runs. It’s possible “Glicked” will exceed expectations, too. And it has the advantage of another behemoth coming close behind: “Moana 2,” which opens just five days later on the Wednesday before the Thanksgiving holiday. “Glickedana” triple feature anyone? This image released by Paramount Pictures shows Pedro Pascal, left, and Paul Mescal in a scene from "Gladiator II." “These are 10 important days,” O'Leary said. “It’s going to show the moviegoing audience that there’s a lot of compelling stuff out there for them to see.” There are infinite caveats to the imperfect comparison to “Barbenheimer,” as well. “Wicked” is a “Part One.” Musicals carry their own baggage with moviegoers, even those based on wildly successful productions (ahem, “Cats”). “Gladiator II” got a head start and opened internationally last weekend. In fact, in the U.K. it played alongside “Paddington in Peru,” where that double was pegged “Gladdington.” “Gladiator” reviews, while positive, are a little more divided than the others. And neither directors Ridley Scott nor Jon M. Chu has the built-in box office cache that Christopher Nolan’s name alone carries at the moment. The new films also cost more than “Barbie” ($145 million) and “Oppenheimer” ($100 million). According to reports, “Gladiator II” had a $250 million price tag; “Wicked” reportedly cost $150 million to produce (and that does not include the cost of the second film, due next year). The narrative, though, has shifted away from “who will win the weekend.” Earlier this year, Chu told The Associated Press that he loves that this is a moment where “we can root for all movies all the time.” Close behind are a bevy of Christmas releases with double feature potential, but those feel a little more niche. There’s the remake of “Nosferatu,” the Nicole Kidman kink pic “Babygirl” and the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown.” The internet can’t even seem to decide on its angle for that batch of contenders, and none exactly screams blockbuster. Sometimes the joy is just in the game, however. Some are sticking with the one-name mashup (“Babyratu”); others are suggesting that the fact that two of the movies feature real-life exes (Timothée Chalamet and Lily-Rose Depp) is enough reason for a double feature. And getting people talking is half the battle. When in doubt, or lacking a catchy name, there’s always the default: “This is my Barbenheimer.” Associated Press journalist John Carucci and Film Writer Jake Coyle contributed reporting. Last summer, Malibu's iconic blonde faced off against Cillian Murphy and the hydrogen bomb in the unforgettable "Barbenheimer" double feature. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

Thankfully, the field for the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff was set Sunday morning. Had the process lasted another week, it might have ripped the sport apart and pitted conference commissioners against each other in steel-cage matches. Not everything sparked outrage when the CFP selection committee revealed the pairings. Oregon and Georgia were the top-two seeds, as expected. Boise State, champion of the Mountain West, and Arizona State, which won the Big 12, received the No. 3 and 4 seeds, respectively, and will have opening-round byes. Texas, Penn State, Notre Dame and Ohio State will play home games in the opening round. But that’s where the relative peace and tranquility ended. The committee granted the final at-large berth to SMU, not Alabama, and you could instantly imagine smoke billowing from the nostrils of SEC commissioner Greg Sankey. Alabama (9-3) had more quality wins and played a vastly tougher schedule than the Mustangs (11-2) but also had uglier losses than the ACC runner-up. That wasn’t the only flashpoint. Boise State was seeded higher than Arizona State despite a weaker schedule — an outcome that sends the Broncos to the Fiesta Bowl (Glendale) for their quarterfinal game and forces the Sun Devils to play in the Peach Bowl (Atlanta). The debate Sunday was simply a continuation of the past five weeks, which featured athletic directors squabbling on social media, conference commissioners squawking over resumes and the committee chair himself, Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel, seemingly contradicting the stated selection criteria. All of it unfolded under the threat of demolition. Two months ago, executives from the SEC and Big Ten gathered in Nashville to discuss the future of the sport. At the conclusion of the summit, Sankey, the most powerful figure in the sport, told reporters that the CFP process “just has to go incredibly well.” You did not need a master’s degree in political gamesmanship to grasp the meaning. If the SEC and Big Ten were less than satisfied with their allotments of bids and seeds, they would force changes to the selection process. Specifically, the behemoths would grant themselves a truckload of automatic bids, reduce access for the other conferences and, potentially, disband the selection committee altogether. Needless to say, the process did not go “incredibly well” for the SEC. In fact, it could not have gone much worse. In addition to Alabama’s exclusion, Tennessee lost the No. 8-9 seed showdown against Ohio State and will open the playoff in Columbus. Meanwhile, three-loss South Carolina was left out entirely one week after winning at three-loss Clemson, while the Tigers advanced to the CFP with the ACC’s automatic bid. (In the committee’s final rankings, South Carolina was one spot above Clemson.) The repercussions could ripple through the sport for years. Earlier this week, another warning flare went skyward from SEC country when Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne on the social media platform X: The implication was clear: If Alabama’s schedule strength wasn’t rewarded, the Crimson Tide would rethink the merits of playing A-level non-conference games in the first half of September. Alabama faced Wisconsin this season and has booked upcoming series with Florida State, Ohio State and Notre Dame. Those could be in jeopardy. Why risk the loss when the benefits of scheduling the game are limited? And if Alabama cancels marquee matchups, other SEC schools will assuredly follow — potentially sapping the sport of must-see intersectional duels that energize the September competition calendar. Asked on ESPN about the non-conference scheduling issue, Manuel, the committee chair and Michigan’s athletic director, offered the following: “I would just say, you need to schedule the games you feel are best for your team and your fan base.” Given the unprecedented nature of the season — with the expanded playoff and engorged conferences — there was no reason to expect a smooth ride from early November, when the first CFP rankings were released, through selection day. Related Articles But the gaffes, misreads and contradictions by the 13-person committee were frequent and severe. Head-to-head results, schedule strength and quality wins were shoved to the background as the committee, loaded with former coaches, prioritized win-loss record. It was as if the coaches were collectively channeling their inner Lou Holtz — the former Notre Dame coach was the ultimate sandbagger — and determined a 74- point win over Western Illinois (by Indiana) was equivalent to a 15-point win at Texas (by Georgia). “One of the things we really need to do,” said Nick Saban, the ESPN analyst and former Alabama coach, “is (recognize) all wins are not the same as the other wins.” There were risks to selecting Alabama over SMU, as well. Had the committee excluded the Mustangs following their loss to Clemson in the ACC championship — on a walk-off field goal, no less — the decision would have undermined the credibility of conference title games. “The committee is going to lose no matter what they do,” ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit said. But just as not all wins are created equal, neither are all losses. Alabama’s out, the SEC is seething and major changes are coming to the CFP as a result.Trump has flip-flopped on abortion policy.

Article content The losses keep piling up for the Toronto Blue Jays. On the field, there were 88 of them during a disastrous and disheartening 2024 to cap off a colossal two-year plunge into the basement of the American League East. Off the field, there was another spectacular swing and miss on a generational free agent, losing out on Juan Soto a year after a similar much-hyped failure in a bid to land Shohei Ohtani. And up next, perhaps the biggest misfire yet for the front office braintrust of general manager Ross Atkins and team president Mark Shapiro, which is truly saying something if it ends up happening. If the Jays let Vlad Guerrero Jr., get to free agency 11 months from now — which seems more like a certainty by the day — the current iteration of the franchise may never recover. Sure, after losing out to Soto — who signed that epic 15-year, $765-million US deal with the New York Mets on Sunday — the Jays can regroup and make re-signing Guerrero a priority. But even if the team did re-sign its star first baseman, who is about to enter his age 26 season, Vladdy would be a fool to accept nothing but an insanely rich offer. And Vlad Guerrero Jr. is no fool. As one of the top young hitters anywhere, he’s well-regarded by superstars around the game and loves being in their company. And watching the frenzy in which owners are spending on free agents these days, he knows it will soon be his turn. The indifference by the Jays to let it get to this point — mixed in with a losing visit to an arbitration hearing a year ago — is as baffling as it is blundering. By shopping at the very top of the market the past two off-seasons while presumably ignoring Guerrero, the Toronto front office is now at acute risk of letting the player long seen as the face of a winning franchise get away for nothing. Think about it: Owner Rogers Communications was reportedly willing to bid more than $1 billion Canadian in its futile bid for Soto while saving the Guerrero business for later. How can it not insultingly erode whatever loyalty Vladdy might have for the team and a city he professes to love? There’s never been any doubt that he will be handsomely paid, but with each passing day, there’s less guarantee it will be by the only big league franchise he’s ever known. Guerrero’s payday isn’t likely to be in the Soto stratosphere, but let’s start the projections with eight figures (likely with a five as the first digit) and a minimum of 10 years. If Jays management had any hope of extending Guerrero before his free-agent showcase season, good luck with that now. Guerrero knows the money is coming, whether it’s from Toronto or a long list of suitors that would woo him a year from now. He also must know that a bet-on-himself season as Soto just did, will be the way to go. Given the tenor of negotiations with the Jays and the money other stars are getting, why would he do otherwise? On one hand, the team’s public stance on Guerrero has been muted. (To be fair, there’s little transparency about much from Atkins, who prefers a vague answer to just about anything regarding his team, so we really don’t know how much the franchise values its star slugger.) On the other, it’s certainly well-known that, for two off-seasons now, the Jays have helped drive up the price for both Ohtani and now Soto after being armed to discharge obscene amounts of Rogers cash. What good is it, though, if you have clearance to spend the dough but can’t get what you want for it? To be fair, now that the Soto deal has mercifully been completed, the doors to free agency 2025 should swing wide open at the winter meetings down in Dallas. Fittingly, Jays fans must be bracing themselves for the next round of well-placed rumours that the team is “in” on (name players X, Y and Z here.) Trouble is, there are plenty of other big-spending teams out there willing to do the same and those players will want to land with franchises that are proven winners, or at least look that way. That, of course, circles back to Guerrero, a player widely regarded as a superstar and the home-grown Toronto talent that the team promised it would build World Series contenders around. With his future uncertain, the attractiveness for other big names to come to Toronto lessens noticeably, especially given the overall dearth of organizational talent. For his part, Guerrero has enthusiastically, and regularly, stated that he would love to be a Blue Jay for life. He might even mean it. But for it to happen, he’s going to get paid and he’s not going to accept a home-town discount. Instead, he continues to see his market grow stronger and the prospect of heading to free agency that much more enticing. So what does all of this mean for the Jays front office now? Unlike last year, when the non-Ohtani options were meek and the returns pitiful in terms of high-end impact, Atkins needs to strike big. Being “in” on the big guns is getting old in a hurry and giving the Jays an unflattering reputation in the marketplace. And each failure to significantly improve the roster via free agency or trade exposes another weakness. In the early days of their tenure, Atkins and Shapiro promised they’d be a successful draft-and-develop team. How has that worked out for them? Worse, they are now in danger of losing one of the true development success stories that remains. rlongley@postmedia.com X: @longleysunsportIn this episode of Microsoft Weekly, we look at Recall arriving to more devices in the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft reiterating the importance of TPM 2.0 for modern computers, Windows 11 version 24H2 arriving to more users, some new known bugs, app updates, and more.

NoneFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Republican senators pushed back on Sunday against criticism from Democrats that Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump’s pick to lead U.S. intelligence services, is “compromised” by her comments supportive of Russia and secret meetings, as a congresswoman, with Syria’s president, a close ally of the Kremlin and Iran. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Illinois, a veteran of combat missions in Iraq, said she had concerns about Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s choice to be director of national intelligence. “I think she’s compromised,” Duckworth said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” citing Gabbard’s 2017 trip to Syria, where she held talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad. Gabbard was a Democratic House member from Hawaii at the time. “The U.S. intelligence community has identified her as having troubling relationships with America’s foes. And so my worry is that she couldn’t pass a background check,” Duckworth said. Gabbard, who said last month she is joining the Republican party, has served in the Army National Guard for more than two decades. She was deployed to Iraq and Kuwait and, according to the Hawaii National Guard, received a Combat Medical Badge in 2005 for “participation in combat operations under enemy hostile fire in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom III.” Duckworth’s comments drew immediate backlash from Republicans. “For her to say ridiculous and outright dangerous words like that is wrong,” Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Oklahoma, said on CNN, challenging Duckworth to retract her words. “That’s the most dangerous thing she could say — is that a United States lieutenant colonel in the United States Army is compromised and is an asset of Russia.” In recent days, other Democrats have accused Gabbard without evidence of being a “Russian asset.” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, has claimed, without offering details, that Gabbard is in Russian President Vladimir “Putin’s pocket.” Mullin and others say the criticism from Democrats is rooted in the fact that Gabbard left their party and has become a Trump ally. Democrats say they worry that Gabbard’s selection as national intelligence chief endangers ties with allies and gives Russia a win. Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat just elected to the Senate, said he would not describe Gabbard as a Russian asset, but said she had “very questionable judgment.” “The problem is if our foreign allies don’t trust the head of our intelligence agencies, they’ll stop sharing information with us,” Schiff said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Gabbard in 2022 endorsed one of Russia’s justifications for invading Ukraine: the existence of dozens of U.S.-funded biolabs working on some of the world’s nastiest pathogens. The labs are part of an international effort to control outbreaks and stop bioweapons, but Moscow claimed Ukraine was using them to create deadly bioweapons. Gabbard said she just voiced concerns about protecting the labs. Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Missouri, said he thought it was “totally ridiculous” that Gabbard was being cast as a Russian asset for having different political views. “It’s insulting. It’s a slur, quite frankly. There’s no evidence that she’s a asset of another country,” he said on NBC. Sen. James Lankford, another Oklahoma Republican, acknowledged having “lots of questions” for Gabbard as the Senate considers her nomination to lead the intelligence services. Lankford said on NBC that he wants to ask Gabbard about her meeting with Assad and some of her past comments about Russia. “We want to know what the purpose was and what the direction for that was.
