Late kickoff return TDs by Turpin and Thomas spark the Cowboys as they end their 5-game skid
Limited again, 49ers QB Brock Purdy still fighting sore shoulderMaresca led the Foxes to the Sky Bet Championship title last season before joining Chelsea over the summer. Leicester famously toasted their improbable Premier League success in 2016 with an impromptu bash at Vardy’s house. But the venue for last April’s party was not at the striker’s abode, but at Maresca’s house when the players turned up unannounced at 2am. Maresca recalled: “The best present I had from last season was when we got promoted and they arrived at my home. All the team. “This showed the connection between the players; they could go for a party at a different place but they all arrived at my home. It was a fantastic connection and I will always be thankful for them. “I was at home celebrating with my staff and my family and about two o’clock in the morning all the squad was there. We celebrated all together. Last night at Enzo’s 🏡 💙 pic.twitter.com/dqP8BFsDn3 — Leicester City (@LCFC) April 27, 2024 “When I was a player and I won things I never thought to go to the manager’s home. That shows the connection.” Similarly to when they clinched the Premier League crown, Leicester were not actually playing when they found out they were promoted after Leeds lost at QPR. “To be honest I was at home watching the game and when it finished all the staff came over – and later the players,” added the Italian. “They didn’t knock on the door, they were in the garden and knocked on the window. What time did they leave? I don’t remember.” Vardy might not be having a party at the end of this season but he is still banging in the goals at 37 and Maresca rates the striker even more highly than England’s two top goalscorers – Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney. “People don’t realise how good he is,” added Maresca. “I know England have been quite lucky because of Kane and Rooney, this type of striker, they are fantastic. “But Jamie is, if you ask me, the best one.” Maresca returns to the King Power Stadium for the first time with Chelsea on Saturday, but he will be without captain Reece James due to a hamstring problem.
South Korea's president avoids an impeachment attempt over short-lived martial lawCorps Members have been advised to serve as positive agents of development that would bring succour to their host communities. The NYSC Director General, Brigadier General YD Ahmed, gave this charge in his address to Corps Members at Anambra State Orientation Camp, Mbaukwu, and Ebonyi State Orientation Camp in Afikpo. He urged them to study the needs of their host communities, seek support from the residents, and initiate laudable projects that would improve the standards of living of their hosts. This was contained in a statement signed by Caroline Embu, Acting Director, Information and Public Relations. The Director General also warned them against embarking on unauthorized and night journeys but added that they should obtain permission from the NYSC and their employers if it becomes mandatory for them to travel. “Avoid night travelling because of its dangers. Don’t board vehicles by the roadside and ensure you go to designated motorparks to board vehicles while travelling, “he said. General Ahmed further enjoined the Corps Members to make long-lasting friends and relationships during the service year, adding that they should strive to bond together and foster national unity and integration, the reason for which the NYSC was founded. He encouraged them to use the service year to plan for a better future and avoid every form of social delinquencies that could jeopardize their future. While presenting the camp situation report to the Director General, the Anambra State Coordinator, Mrs Blessing Ekene Iruma stated that all the 1,011 Corps Members comprising 412 males and 599 females had voluntarily joined the various camp committees and were participating actively in the day-to-day running of the camp. Similarly, her Ebonyi State counterpart, Mrs Foluke Oladehinde, informed General Ahmed that 535 males and 581 females took the Oath of Allegiance as administered by Hon. Justice Nicholas Nwode on behalf of the State Chief Judge, Hon. Justice Elvis Ngene. “All the Corps Members are well behaved and have adapted to the regimented life in camp,” she said.New on Hulu November 30-Decemer 6: our expert's picks for 6 TV shows and movies coming to Hulu this week

Polls close in Uruguay’s election, with ruling coalition and opposition headed for photo finishPennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro , in a moment suggestive of last year’s fast rebuild of a collapsed I-95 bridge , swooped into Philadelphia Friday to announce he was redirecting $153 million in federal highway funds to SEPTA, averting a significant fare increase planned for Jan. 1. The cash amounts to a fiscal life preserver for the sixth-largest mass transit system in the U.S., after the Pennsylvania legislature failed to pass Shapiro ’s proposal for a longer-lasting increase in subsidies for public transportation.
