Winless Chargers still have plenty to clean up after OT loss to Titans

The Los Angeles Chargers have only themselves to blame for being winless to start this NFL season.The losses coming by a combined five points doesn't ease the stunning pain of being 0-2.The Chargers blew an 11-point lead Sunday in losing 27-24 to the Tennessee Titans in overtime when Justin Herbert threw for 305 yards and two touchdowns, Joey Bosa had two of the defense's five sacks and Keenan Allen had 111 yards receiving and two TDs.“This is how the NFL works,” Chargers running back Joshua Kelley said. “If you’re not dialed in and locked in the whole game, that’s the difference between 0-2 and 2-0.”The Chargers (0-2) had the ball needing a touchdown to win at the end of regulation only to give up a third sack that forced them to settle for Cameron Dicker's third field goal. And all three of his field goals came on drives where Los Angeles was inside the Titans 12 or closer.They even won the coin toss to get the ball first in overtime.

(CNN) — Cuando el sindicato United Auto Workers convocó una huelga la semana pasada contra General Motors, Ford y Stellantis, una de sus demandas se centró en una idea que circulaba en la periferia de los círculos de reforma laboral.Además de pedir un aumento salarial del 36% y una mayor seguridad laboral, los miembros del sindicato quieren una semana laboral de 32 horas y cuatro días sin recortes salariales.Las propuestas para acortar la semana laboral han cobrado fuerza en los últimos años, y la flexibilidad del trabajo remoto en la era de la pandemia impulsó muchos de estos llamamientos. El uso cada vez más acelerado de la inteligencia artificial en el lugar de trabajo también ha llevado a algunos trabajadores a cuestionar la necesidad de una semana de 40 horas.El senador Bernie Sanders ha sido durante mucho tiempo un firme defensor de una semana laboral más corta.El senador Bernie Sanders se dirige a la audiencia durante una manifestación en apoyo de los miembros en huelga...Diamondbacks sweep Cubs with 6-2 win, pass Chicago in NL wild-card race

PHOENIX (AP) — Ketel Marte homered and Arizona got a great performance from its bullpen as the Diamondbacks defeated the skidding Chicago Cubs 6-2 on Sunday to pass them for the second National League wild-card spot.Arizona completed a three-game sweep and handed the Cubs their fifth straight loss. The Diamondbacks won three of four last weekend at Wrigley Field and finished 6-1 against Chicago this season.The latest victory moved Arizona a half-game ahead of Chicago for the second NL wild card, while the Cubs fell into a tie with Miami for the league’s final playoff spot. Cincinnati is a half-game behind, and San Francisco is two back.Four relievers combined to pitch 5 2/3 scoreless innings for Arizona, giving up three hits and no walks.The Diamondbacks jumped in front with a three-run first inning against rookie left-hander Jordan Wicks (3-1). They loaded the bases with no outs, and Christian Walker blooped one into center for an RBI, though he lost the hit when Corbin Carro...Broncos safety Kareem Jackson ejected for hit on Commanders tight end; defense goes into tailspin

DENVER (AP) — Hard-hitting Broncos safety Kareem Jackson delivered a helmet-to-helmet collision that got him sent to the locker room.It also sent Denver’s defense into a tailspin.Jackson’s second-quarter ejection was the start of a momentum shift as Sam Howell rallied the Washington Commanders from an 18-point deficit to a 35-33 win on Sunday.Denver’s traditionally reliable defense has been unable to protect leads in losing back-to-back home games to start a season for the first time in franchise history.“We have a standard for ourselves,” All-Pro cornerback Pat Surtain II said. “And when we can’t reach that standard, it’s obviously frustrating.”Jackson’s hit drew immediate outrage on social media. The veteran defensive back launched himself at Logan Thomas moments after the Washington tight end hauled in a 4-yard TD pass. Several Commanders took exception and confronted Jackson before being separated. The officials called Jackson for a personal f...Antoni: Biden’s latest attack on American energy is costing you

Want to pay more for energy? If so, President Joe Biden’s new drilling prohibition in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is good news for you. The rest of us, though, are less than thrilled with his efforts to throttle the energy sector. They’re needlessly costing American families an extra $2,400 on their annual energy bills.On his first day in office, Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline and issued what was supposed to be a temporary moratorium on all oil and natural gas activities in ANWR. But now he has canceled all leases and permits there, closing off one of the nation’s most energy-rich areas.This unwise maneuver follows closely on the heels of the administration’s ban on shipping liquified natural gas by rail. By blocking transport of domestic natural gas via additional pipelines and now railroads, the president is simultaneously increasing the nation’s dependence on energy imports, driving up energy prices and increasing countless costs throughout the chemical an...Chicago Cubs swept by Arizona Diamondbacks with 6-2 loss, leaving their playoff hopes in a precarious position

Their worst stretch of play in months could not come at a much worse time for the Chicago Cubs.The veteran team will need to regroup on Monday’s off day following a dreadful 1-5 trip against the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks. Their five consecutive losses culminated with Sunday’s 6-2 defeat, getting swept for the first time in almost three months, sending the Cubs back to Chicago for their final homestand as they desperately try to hold onto their playoff position.The Cubs (78-72) enter Monday tied with the Miami Marlins for the final National League wild-card spot, though if the season ended today, Chicago would be left out because they do not hold the tiebreaker.“They were better than we were in all aspects of the game,” manager David Ross said of the Diamondbacks. “They played better defense, they pitched better, they had timely hitting, they ran the bases better. We got beat all the way around. A bad road trip. Try to wash it on the off ...Serving up a mystery

There’s a new wrinkle in Miss Marple-style sleuthing with AcornTV’s “Mrs. Sidhu Investigates” and that is an Indian auntie with a talent for snooping alongside high-end catering.“I always like to write something about community,” Suk Pannu, the series’ creator and writer of all four 90-minute episodes, said in a Zoom interview from London.Pannu sets “Mrs. Sidhu,” which begins Monday, in Slough, “An industrial town in a beautiful countryside. An underdog, immigrant town which is in the middle of one of the most beautiful areas of Britain,” the affluent Berkshires.Mrs. Sidhu is an ideal snoop, he noted, “Because Indian aunties can always get secrets out very quickly. I was really excited because I come from writing comedy, and a murder mystery is just a wonderful thing for me.”Mrs. Sidhu, a widow with a teenage son, is played by Meera Syal who was in the Pannu-scripted hit “The Kumars at No. 42.” Mrs. Sidhu may be delivering food to what’s often an unlikely crime scene but it is her i...Latest news
