Prior to this week's installment of "Monday Night Football," ESPN personality Jason Kelce talked about his experiences going up against Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs. This wasn't just a random topic to spark conversation about the Kelce family. ESPN's Scott Van Pelt wanted to hear Jason's perspective on sibling rivalries because Monday night's game featured the Harbaugh brothers, Jim and John. They have their respective teams, the Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens, in playoff contention. Even though Kelce has a ton of respect for his younger brother, he admit on national TV that it was "annoying" competing against Travis. "It's annoying is what it is," Jason said. "Because he's so good, that's why. I was only fortunate to be Trav once. When you're out there on the field getting ready to play your brother, there's something about seeing your brother there that you get these flashbacks to being out in the backyard playing football again." "It's annoying. ... They were very good." — @JasonKelce on playing against Travis Kelce and the Chiefs 🤣 pic.twitter.com/poANNqEdgQ Unfortunately for Jason, his squad fell short to Travis and the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. The Philadelphia Eagles had a 24-14 lead at halftime before ultimately crumbling in the final quarter of the big game. Travis Kelce had six receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown in Super Bowl LVII. Immediately after capturing the Lombardi Trophy, he embraced his older brother on the field. Ezra Shaw/Getty Images Last year, Travis talked about defeating Jason in the Super Bowl and how it was such a bittersweet moment. "It was weird, man. It was weird," Travis said . "It was a weird feeling, it was like ... getting the second one was like, 'This is me! I am him! I do this! This is what I [expletive] do!' And then you see your brother and you're like, '[Expletive] I just took that opportunity away from him.' You know how he feels. Because I lost a [expletive] Super Bowl, and that [expletive] sucks. Going into the Tampa Bay Super Bowl, that [expletive] was the worst feeling ever." Despite all the jokes they've made in public, it's clear the Kelce brothers have nothing but love for each other.

The chapter revealed why the male lead came in search of his wife in episode 3 while he was on duty. He received a call from the nurse who looked after Hee Joo's father. The caretaker informed Sa Eon that his father-in-law had gone missing. The presidential spokesperson rushed to the hospital. Though Sa Eon introduced Hee Joo as his wife to the investigation officers, he requested the officers to keep it a secret. Hee Joo could not hold back her tears after experiencing affection from her husband for the first time in three years of their marriage. She cried out loud. Sa Eon looked at her when he heard her make a noise. Tense Encounter Between Father-Son Duo Sa Eon took Hee Joo to a hotel for a small family gathering with his parents. Since the male lead knew his wife was tired, he asked her to rest. Sa Eon went alone to meet his father. The father-son duo had a tense encounter in the hotel room. When Hee Joo entered the room, she saw her husband arguing with his father. Baek Eui Yong wants his son to quit his job as the presidential spokesperson and join him for the election campaign. Sa Eon did not have any interest in the political game. So, he refused to resign from his position as the presidential spokesperson. His father furiously grabbed him by his collar. But the male lead continued to say no to the election campaign. The Mysterious Phone Call Hee Joo called her husband again from the kidnapper's phone. She asked him for divorce and confronted him about their exchange marriage. The female lead could not believe her ears when her husband mentioned a secret agreement between him and her elder sister. She became too curious and started asking him about it. Sa Eon told his wife he met with her sister the previous night of their wedding. They had a secret deal. So, her sister could never become his wife even if she returned. Hee Joo desperately wanted to know about the secret agreement. She called him again the next day. The onscreen couple was separately attending the 70th anniversary celebration of Cheongwoon. Hee Joo was at the rooftop when she called her husband from the kidnapper's phone.

Big Revelation Meanwhile, When the Phone Rings episode 4 featured a flashback scene between the onscreen couple. Sa Eon and Hee Joo struggled when they were young because of their greedy parents.

However, Sa Eon was unaware of Hee Joo's ability to talk until he watched the dashcam footage. He did not know that she could speak. When the presidential spokesperson went to the police station to make a report about his father-in-law's missing case, he briefly interacted with the investigation officers. The police officers told Sa Eon how she started screaming the other day. The male lead checked the footage from the dash cam. He saw her asking the police officers to stop the car. Sa Eon went helpless and furious at the same time. Will he continue to trust his wife? The viewers eagerly wait for the next episode to see the outcome of this big revelation .HAVRE – Hunter numbers were down, big game numbers were below average, and upland bird harvest was mixed, according to the final report from the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Havre check station. “Hunter numbers at the check station were the lowest we have seen since 2015,” noted Havre-area biologist Scott Hemmer, who manages the station. Hunters who stopped at the check station (1,657) were down 18% from 2023, and 7% below the long-term average. Mule deer brought through the check station totaled 370 for the year, which was down 31% from last year and 32% below the long-term average, and the lowest seen since 2015. Mule deer doe harvest was down the most at 59% below the average, while buck harvest was 21% below average. Reduced mule deer doe harvest was expected this year with fewer antlerless mule deer licenses issued and restrictions on antlerless mule deer harvest on public land. For the year, 118 white-tailed deer were brought by the station, which was 21% lower than 2023, and 23% below the long-term average. "Hunter reports were variable throughout the region, but most indicated lower numbers of deer this year,” Hemmer said. “Some hunters reported seeing decent numbers of antlerless deer and young bucks, but fewer older bucks.” The 150 antelope checked was slightly lower than 2023, and 39% below the long-term average. The general season ended on Nov. 10. “Most antelope hunters reported improved numbers of antelope seen compared to recent years,” Hemmer said. “Although the number of antelope checked was still low, hunter success was still fair.” For the year, 19 elk were recorded, which is 24% below last year and 51% below the long-term average. A reduction in elk harvest, particularly from Missouri Breaks hunting districts, was expected due to fewer antlerless elk licenses issued for those districts in response to below objective elk populations. For the eight weeks the check station was open, the pheasant harvest of 719 birds was about the same as last year, and near the long-term average. Sharp-tailed grouse (122 birds) harvest was 25% below last year’s total, but only 4% below the long-term average. Gray (Hungarian) partridge harvest (100) was below last year’s banner year, but still well above the long-term average. “Reports from the western half of the region generally indicated considerably better upland bird numbers than the past several years,” Hemmer noted. “Reports from the eastern half of the region indicated that although bird numbers were still fair, they were down from the last couple years when numbers were better than average.” Duck harvest (65) was down slightly from last year and slightly above the long-term average. The station was open for eight weekends from Oct. 12 (the opener of general antelope and pheasant) through Dec. 1 (the end of the deer/elk general season). Biologists gather a lot of valuable information and biological data on game animals brought through check stations. The harvest data FWP collects at check stations represents a real-time partial representation of the regionwide harvest. FWP subsequently conducts a telephone survey throughout the winter to estimate hunting and harvest levels throughout the region and across the state.
Kane limps off as Bayern rescue draw at Dortmund
A year is too short a time to assess a government’s performance, but it is still long enough to ascertain its commitment to fulfil its promises. The first Congress government in Telangana led by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy rode on the back of six guarantees , with a focus on widespread corruption allegations against Mr. Reddy’s predecessor, K. Chandrashekar Rao, who was perceived as being inaccessible and lording over a family-run fiefdom. The guarantees were directed at women, farmers, youth, and the elderly, aiming to enhance disposable incomes, social securities, and to provide employment. They range from providing ₹2,500 a month for women who are heads of below-poverty-line families, to doubling retirement pension for the disabled, and the poor among the elderly. A year on, some of these measures implemented include free public transport for women and increased medical insurance cover per family of up to ₹10 lakh, as well as fiscally expensive decisions such as 200 units of free power per household and writing off farmers’ loans up to ₹2 lakh. Some of the unfulfilled measures include raising input support for farmers from ₹10,000 annually — provided by the predecessor Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government — to ₹15,000, and filling two lakh government job vacancies. The government has cited a fiscal crisis caused by the Chandrashekar Rao government as the reason for this. Days after Mr. Reddy was sworn in on December 7, 2023, his government released a “white paper on the State’s finances” , which detailed a “more than ten times” jump in Telangana’s debt from ₹72,658 crore to over ₹6.71 lakh crore under the 10 year-long reign of the BRS, and that debt servicing alone constituted more than a third of the State’s budget, leaving “very little fiscal space” to implement the Congress guaranteed welfare measures. Since Mr. Reddy rode to power on the popular sentiment of familial corruption, judicial commissions have been set up to probe financial malfeasance in projects ranging from the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme to the power purchase agreement with Chhattisgarh. Mr. Reddy has also accused the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Union government of giving the State short-shrift in tax devolutions and the implementation of centrally funded projects. One promise that Mr. Reddy has worked on is the conduct of a caste census. While it has run into controversy, with complaints of a duplication of information provided to the earlier government, the outcome of the survey and the changes to reservations in government jobs and employment are being keenly watched. Mr. Reddy’s hurdles are daunting, but what appears to be lacking is a transparent plan and a candid admission on what to expect, given the situation, over the next four years.
