Patrick Mahomes: Three games in 11 days "not a good feeling"
Pelicans Have No Interest In Trading Herb JonesNASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans ' most consistent scoring threat in an ugly season now is on the injury report, and that's why they brought back a player for a bit of insurance. Kicker Nick Folk worked through some soreness, making a pair of field goals for Tennessee's only points last week in the Titans' loss to the Jaguars , his longest a 46-yarder. Both Folk and Brayden Narveson were on the field Wednesday during the portion of practice open to reporters, though the Titans listed Folk among six who did not practice. Coach Brian Callahan said it was just some “general soreness" for Folk. But as good as Folk has been this season, he turned 40 last month. So the Titans (3-10) signed Narveson to the practice squad Tuesday after he spent training camp with them in case they need an option Sunday when they host Cincinnati (5-8). “You’re always mindful of it with kickers and that kind of leg soreness," Callahan said. "So he finished the game but was sore. ... He doesn’t do anything on Wednesdays anyway. He’ll try to kick (Thursday), and we’ll see where he’s at. So I don’t really know how to feel about it either way. I just know he’ll kick tomorrow, and then we’ll have a better feel for his status after that.” Folk has an NFL record streak of 85 consecutive field goals made on attempts from less than 40 yards, which included a 39-yarder that put the Titans up 6-0 last week. He ranks 14th in NFL history with 403 field goals and trails Arizona kicker Matt Prater by just four. Prater, who has 407 field goals, currently is on injured reserve. The kicker signed a new deal this offseason after New England traded him to Tennessee in 2023 with Folk going on to lead both the NFL and set a franchise record, making 96.7% of his field goals (29 of 30). Folk has been nearly perfect this season, making all 22 extra point attempts and is 21 of 22 on field goals, including matching his career-long with a 56-yarder earlier this season. Narveson had an impressive preseason for Tennessee, letting Folk focus on preparing for the regular season. The rookie from N.C. State was 6 of 7 on field-goal attempts, including a 59-yarder. He also made a 46-yard attempt as time expired in a 16-15 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. His lone miss was a 58-yarder at the end of the Titans' preseason finale that was nearly returned for a touchdown. He made his first try only to have it nullified because a timeout had been called. Green Bay claimed Narveson when Tennessee waived him at the final roster cutdown. The Packers waived Narveson in October after the kicker missed a league-high five field-goal attempts. “If for some reason he can’t go Sunday, Brayden will be ready to roll in and he’ll kick and do all that,” Callahan said of Narveson. "So obviously it’s nice to have some familiarity with him, and he’s here in case we need him.” Among the Titans who practiced fully Wednesday was quarterback Will Levis . He said after the loss to the Jaguars that he played the second half after getting a shot after aggravating his right, throwing shoulder. He sprained the AC joint in that shoulder early in a win over Miami on Sept. 30 and later missed three games with the injury. “Feel good,” Levis said after a 75-minute practice. “Just going to see how the week goes and see how the body responds, but I definitely feel better than the last time I nicked it up.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

Next year's Sundance Film Festival will feature Jennifer Lopez singing and dancing in Bill Condon’s “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” Questlove exploring the legacy of Sly & The Family Stone and Associated Press journalist Mstyslav Chernov's latest documentary about the war in Ukraine. The Sundance Institute on Wednesday unveiled 87 feature films set to premiere at the 2025 festival, kicking off on Jan. 23 in Park City, Utah. Now in its 41st year, the festival remains a place of discovery for independent cinema and emerging voices. Because of its January timing, it’s also a gathering that arrives alongside the presidential inauguration. At the 2017 festival following Donald Trump’s first inauguration, Main Street was taken over by a lively women’s march full of celebrities. This year, no such plans have been announced. “Sundance as a festival has endured as a place to gather through inaugurations every four years, through different cultural moments and political moments,” said festival director Eugene Hernandez. “We have a program that both engages with the world and also offers at the very same time an escape.” Narrative films and documentaries premiering this year will touch on politicized topics like transgender stories and rights, “stand your ground” laws, incarceration, the right to die and book banning. But Sundance doesn’t program by theme or have mandates about topics, said Kim Yutani, the festival’s director of programming. “I think what you see across the program are stories that are told with real authenticity. There’s an innovative quality to many of these films,” Yutani said. “And the idea of free expression is something that is just as important to us.” Documentaries are always a highlight at Sundance, where the conversation starts and often continues through the year into the Oscar race. Chernov follows his Oscar winning“20 Days in Mariupol” with “2000 Meters to Andriivka,” which looks at a Ukrainian platoon on a mission to liberate a village from Russian occupation. It's a joint project between AP and PBS “Frontline." “Free Leonard Peltier” looks at the Indigenous activist who has spent most of his life in prison since his conviction in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents in South Dakota. In July he was denied parole. Hernandez further spotlighted Barry Levinson and Robert May’s episodic series “Bucks County, USA” about political divides in small town America and the friendship of two teenage girls despite their opposing views. There are also several docs about famous musicians and actors including Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s “SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius),” Shoshannah Stern’s “Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore,” Amy Berg’s “It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley” and Matt Wolf’s “Pee-wee as Himself.” Elegance Bratton also looks at the roots of house music in “Move Ya Body: The Birth of House.” Some performances that may have people talking into the year include: Benedict Cumberbatch in “The Thing with Feathers,” about a father processing the loss of his wife; Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones in “Train Dreams” about a railroad day laborer from the “Sing Sing” writer and director; John Lithgow and Olivia Colman as father and daughter in “Jimpa”; Lopez in Condon’s lush and vibrant musical adaptation; Lily Gladstone and Youn Yuh-jung in Andrew Ahn’s “The Wedding Banquet”; Josh O’Connor in “Rebuilding”; and Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall in “Peter Hujar’s Day,” about New York’s downtown art scene in the 1970s, from Ira Sachs. Over 40% of the films, selected from nearly 16,000 submissions, are directorial debuts, like Rachael Abigail Holder's “Love, Brooklyn” with André Holland. Yutani also highlighted Rashad Frett’s “Ricky,” starring Stephan James as a man trying to rebuild his life post incarceration. Another notable debut is “Sorry, Baby,” which Eva Victor wrote, directed and stars in and Barry Jenkins produced. “There are scenes in this film that I have never seen before,” Yutani said. “It was a real revelation.” Film enthusiasts don’t need to make the trek through the snow to pricey Park City to engage with the festival’s offerings anymore. As with the past few years, about 60% of the program will be available online starting on Jan. 30. Tickets go on sale for individual films on Jan. 16 for the general public and even earlier for members. “It's a really a great opportunity to just get a sampling of what’s to come in the new year for films that will travel far and wide to other festivals or make it into theaters down the line,” Hernandez said. This will be one of the last years that the festival is primarily based out of Park City. Over the past year, the Sundance Institute has been exploring options for host cities starting in 2027. Finalists include Salt Lake City, Utah (with some events still in Park City), Boulder, Colorado, and Cincinnati, Ohio. An announcement is expected in the first quarter of 2025.Caprock Group LLC decreased its stake in shares of Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc.

Where an ice storm is expected in the US in the coming daysJannik Sinner leads Italy back to the Davis Cup semifinals and a rematch against AustraliaTyson Fury is working hard ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk next month, and he has been showing off the results of his efforts so far. 'The Gypsy King' fell to the first defeat of his professional career against the Ukrainian in May, but he will have the opportunity to exact his revenge on the 21st of December when they run it back in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Fury has told his fans to expect a more aggressive approach to the rematch, after admitting he 'got it wrong' in his preparations for the first fight earlier this year. Tyson Fury's professional boxing record (as of 25/11/24) 36 fights 34 wins 1 loss By knockout 24 0 By decision 10 1 Draws 1 "I’ve always been a bad man my whole life, and I’m still one today at nearly 40 years old; a few years off 40, but I like to say that," Fury told TNT Sport. "I’m going to go in there with ‘destroy mode’. Last time I went to box him, I was being cautious. I boxed the head right off him. Let’s talk facts. Anyone can get caught, as we’ve seen in a lot of these heavyweight fights. But this time I’m not going for a points decision. I’m going to knock a m**********r out. "For the first time in years, I’m going in there as a challenger, not a champion. And I believe that I’m better as a challenger, always, because I’ve got that goal of achieving something and it’s giving me a fire underneath." Fury's never been afraid to make big predictions before his fights, but recent images taken from his camp for the Usyk bout suggests that he's taking his shot at redemption very seriously. GIVEMESPORT's Key Statistic: Tyson Fury has won every rematch he has ever had in his career by stoppage. Tyson Fury Looks in Some of the Best Shape of his Career Ahead of Usyk Rematch Fury has enlisted the help of Kevin Lerena, the current WBC Bridgerweight champion, as a sparring partner for the contest. A picture was posted by Lerena of the pair, with Fury looking in impressive shape by his usual standards, with a bulkier upper body and the noticeable absence of a gut. Alongside the striking image, Lerena wrote: "Life in the camp is buzzing. Only a month left until the heavyweight championship fight. The energy in the gym is electrifying. The preparation matches the determination, desire, and will to succeed. We’re working hard during training." Boxing heavyweight Tyson Fury has threatened to burn one of the titles should he ever win it back. A southpaw with a similar stature to Usyk, Lerena is the ideal style of fighter for Fury to work with as he bids to reverse his split decision defeat from earlier this year. This wouldn't be the first time that the Morecambe man has packed on weight for a rematch, either. After drawing with Deontay Wilder in 2018, Fury packed on 17lbs for their 2020 sequel and blasted out 'The Bronze Bomber' in seven rounds. And 'The Gypsy King' is hoping that a similar approach can work against the dangerous Usyk. Fury's coach, Andy Lee, has claimed that his fighter was unable to do any proper sparring ahead of his last outing with Usyk, after sustaining a cut above his right eye before their initial planned meeting. From the looks of the photos coming out of Fury's camp, that won't be an issue this time around. The 36-year-old even shared a defiant message on social media while topless, where he vowed to even the score with Usyk. He declared: "Four weeks to go to the biggest fight of the year. The biggest fight in boxing. Me and Usyk, and I’m coming in hot. I’m coming in hot! Get up, can’t wait. December 21... the belts are gonna be mine again! Get up!" The greatest British heavyweights ever to grace the squared circle have been ranked...
