4 stag derby

4 stag derby NEW YORK (AP) — Daniel Penny chose not to testify and defense lawyers rested their case Friday at his trial in the death of an agitated man he choked on a subway train. Closing arguments are expected after Thanksgiving in the closely watched manslaughter case about the death of Jordan Neely , 30. The encounter between Penny, a white Marine veteran, and Neely, a homeless Black man with mental health and drug problems, has been drawn into U.S. political divides over race, public safety and cities’ ability to handle mental illness and social ills. Penny, 26, has pleaded not guilty. Many criminal defendants don't take the stand, and juries are routinely instructed that they cannot hold defendants' silence — a constitutional right — against them. One of Penny’s lawyers, Thomas Kenniff, noted after court that jurors did hear from Penny, in the form of his recorded statements to police minutes and hours after he put Neely in a chokehold. “Virtually everything he said then is consistent with credible testimony of his fellow passengers," Kenniff said. Penny told police that he wrapped his arm around Neely's neck, took him to the floor and “put him out” because he was angrily throwing things and making threatening comments. Penny said on police video that he hadn't wanted to injure Neely but rather to keep him from hurting anyone else. A number of other passengers testified that they were scared of Neely and relieved that Penny grabbed hold of him. A man who later stepped in and held down Neely's arms, however, told jurors that he urged Penny to let go but that the veteran kept choking Neely for a time. Prosecutors say Penny meant to protect people but recklessly used too much force, overlooking Neely's humanity and making no effort to spare his life. City medical examiners ruled that the chokehold killed Neely. A pathologist hired by Penny's defense disputed that finding . Prosecutors, defense lawyers and the judge are set to meet Monday to hash out jury instructions. ___ This story was first published Nov. 22, 2024. It was updated Nov. 25, 2024 to correct the first name of one of Penny’s lawyers. He is Thomas Kenniff, not Daniel Kenniff.Cardiac Tech breakthroughs transform heart surgery

BOSTON — Forty years ago, Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie rolled to his right and threw a pass that has become one of college football’s most iconic moments. With Boston College trailing defending champion Miami, Flutie threw the Hail Mary and found receiver Gerard Phalen, who made the grab while falling into the end zone behind a pair of defenders for a game-winning 48-yard TD. Flutie and many of his 1984 teammates were honored on the field during BC’s 41-21 victory over North Carolina before the second quarter on Saturday afternoon, the anniversary of the Eagles’ Miracle in Miami. “There’s no way its been 40 years,” Flutie told The Associated Press on the sideline a few minutes before he walked out with some of his former teammates to be recognized after a video of The Play was shown on the scoreboards. A statue commemorating Doug Flutie's famed "Hail Mary" pass during a game against Miami on Nov. 23, 1994, sits outside Alumni Stadium at Boston College. Famous football plays often attain a legendary status with religious names like the "Immaculate Reception," the "Hail Mary" pass and the Holy Roller fumble. It’s a moment and highlight that’s not only played throughout decades of BC students and fans, but around the college football world. “What is really so humbling is that the kids 40 years later are wearing 22 jerseys, still,” Flutie said of his old number. “That amazes me.” That game was played on national TV the Friday after Thanksgiving. The ironic thing is it was originally scheduled for earlier in the season before CBS paid Rutgers to move its game against Miami, thus setting up the BC-Miami post-holiday matchup. Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie rejoices in his brother Darren's arms after B.C. defeats Miami with a last second touchdown pass on Nov. 23, 1984, in Miami. “It shows you how random some things are, that the game was moved,” Flutie said. “The game got moved to the Friday after Thanksgiving, which was the most watched game of the year. We both end up being nationally ranked and up there. All those things lent to how big the game itself was, and made the pass and the catch that much more relevant and remembered because so many people were watching.” There’s a statue of Flutie winding up to make The Pass outside the north gates at Alumni Stadium. Fans and visitors can often be seen taking photos there. “In casual conversation, it comes up every day,” Flutie said, when asked how many times people bring it up. “It brings a smile to my face every time we talk about it.” A week after the game-ending Flutie pass, the Eagles beat Holy Cross and before he flew off to New York to accept the Heisman. They went on to win the 49th Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day. Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie evades Miami defensive tackle Kevin Fagan during the first quarter of a game on Nov. 23, 1984, in Miami, Fla. “Forty years seem almost like incomprehensible,” said Phalen, also standing on the sideline a few minutes after the game started. “I always say to Doug: ‘Thank God for social media. It’s kept it alive for us.”’ Earlier this week, current BC coach Bill O’Brien, 55, was asked if he remembered where he was 40 years ago. “We were eating Thanksgiving leftovers in my family room,” he said. “My mom was saying a Rosary in the kitchen because she didn’t like Miami and wanted BC to win. My dad, my brother and I were watching the game. “It was unbelievable,” he said. “Everybody remembers where they were for the Hail Mary, Flutie pass.” Mike Tyson, left, slaps Jake Paul during a weigh-in ahead of their heavyweight bout, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, in Irving, Texas.

Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Thursday paid tribute to former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto on the 17th anniversary of her assassination, remembering her as a courageous champion of democracy and the marginalised. In a statement issued from the CM House, Shah lauded Bhutto as the Islamic world's first female prime minister, praising her unwavering stance against terrorism and dictatorship. He described her as a symbol of the federation and a tireless advocate for farmers, labourers, and the middle class, stating that her political legacy focused on improving the lives of Pakistan's most vulnerable citizens. The CM highlighted Bhutto's two terms in office, emphasising the positive impact on the lives of the underprivileged. He drew parallels between her bravery and that of her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, stressing her commitment to democracy even in the face of death. Shah condemned her assassination as a tragic attempt to undermine Pakistan's progress and extinguish the hopes of its impoverished population. However, he affirmed that her mission continues through PPP Chairman, who, he said, carries on her fight for social justice.

Guest Opinion: Trump should reform financial watchdogs. Here’s howAbbie Chatfield called the 'female version of Andrew Tate' after she goes on expletive-laden rant about International Men's Day Abbie Chatfield blasted by fans for using Trump election win to promote tour ticket sales By STEPHEN BISSET FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA Published: 23:14, 25 November 2024 | Updated: 23:22, 25 November 2024 e-mail Abbie Chatfield has been slammed as 'toxic' and called the 'female version of Andrew Tate' after she went on an expletive-laden rant about International Men's Day last week. The FBoy Island star, 29, took to Instagram to criticise men who complain they are 'not recognised enough'. 'Isn't it good that International Men's Day was, like, two or three days ago now and haven't heard a peep from them,' Abbie said sarcastically in the clip. 'I've seen some men go "no one does anything for us." Who organises International Women's Day ? It isn't the f***ing men.' Abbie said that International Women's Day was in the public eye because it is women who organise events to recognise it. 'Who's making all the cupcakes, b***h? The women. Who's organising all the morning teas? The women.

Sorry that you can't make a f***ing Betty Croker Packet mix. Figure it out.' Abbie then went on to mock men's mental health and social isolation issues. 'Weaponised incompetence continues through to their own day that all year they go, "when it International Men's Day?" 'We're isolated. Our mental health is draining. We have no community. Nothing fun is ever for us. Even though everything is for them,' she said sarcastically. 'But they finally have a day allocated to them and they can't even organise bloody Paul in the office to make a nice Betty Croker packet mix Brownie and they complain to women about it.' Abbie's post was met with a spirited debate in the comments, with many fans calling the reality star as 'toxic'. 'How toxic is this?' one follower asked, while another chimed in with a similar: 'Wow this is beyond distasteful and disrespectful, why so much hate?

Dubbed the 'King of toxic masculinity ' Andrew is a former kickboxer that gained notoriety for his views, considered by many to be misogynistic and 'far-right'. His controversial comments have seen his expulsion from a range of social media platforms. One continued the sentiment, suggesting that Abbie harboured ill-will towards men. 'Regardless of the context in your post. The fact you posted it showcases your hate for men,' they wrote. It wasn't all negative however, with many fans taking the time to throw their support behind Abbie's controversial statements. 'I had this exact thought the other day. Never heard a peep about it, but come March 8 [International Women's Day], it’s all they’ll be saying,' one follower commented.

The reality star, who told fans she was so upset over the Republican candidate's victory she would be taking a break from social media, took to Instagram a day later to rant against Trump's policies. Abbie posted a photo of her weeping and captioned it: 'Seriously, just been sobbing.' She then promised to take an active stand against those who discriminated against women. 'If you think I was a misandrist before, just wait,' she said. 'Men now have permission to be outwardly sexist. I never want to hear folks act like women are overstating how much the world hates them.'

They allowed an All-Pro running back to leave in favor of paying a QB they cut last week. Now, it looks like they could be without their next choice at signal caller for a divisional Thanksgiving clash with the Dallas Cowboys, as Tommy DeVito suffered an injury on Sunday. DeVito went 21-for-31 for 189 yards with no picks and no TDs in the 30-7 beatdown courtesy of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Along with that loss, DeVito also sustained a forearm injury, which, unfortunately, appears to be to his right forearm — his all-important throwing arm. Giants head coach Brian Daboll stated on Tuesday that DeVito is “not 100 percent” for the TNF showdown. Considering the game is two days away, that feels like a pretty strong indictment of DeVito’s chances. In will step veteran Drew Lock, who was listed as the QB2 all year before DeVito leap-frogged him last week to get the start. Lock has a lot more experience than DeVito, and he has really impressed at various moments in his career. The most recent of these was the heroic comeback win he engineered last year for the Seattle Seahawks. They beat the heavily favored Philadelphia Eagles 20-17 thanks to a perfect 29-yard TD throw from Lock with less than 30 seconds remaining. However, despite the perceived advantages that Lock provides, the fact that the Giants’ first-choice replacement for Jones went down in his first start of the season continued a trend for Big Blue: bad luck. Fans have certainly taken note. With Dallas also trotting out their backup QB in Cooper Rush, the Thanksgiving matchup between them and the Giants could be a real dud. Many have already joked that they’re scheduling their afternoon nap for the 4:30 pm kickoff. Daniel Jones , meanwhile, is attracting interest around the league as a backup after unsurprisingly clearing waivers. Many were praying that Jerry Jones would do the pettiest thing of all time and sign the free agent to play against the Giants this week, but that hasn’t materialized. Many view the Buffalo Bills as a likely landing spot. Jones has a similar play style and body type to starter Josh Allen, so it makes sense. There have also been rumors linking Jones to the Minnesota Vikings, Las Vegas Raiders, and Detroit Lions.

Tributes have been paid to a former BBC football commentator dubbed the "voice of Leicester City" following his death at the age of 85. Neville Foulger, a respected journalist for over half a century, was synonymous with a glory period for the Foxes in the late 1990s through to his retirement in 2004. Among those paying tribute was Geoff Peters, now at TalkSport, who was his colleague and friend for many years at BBC Radio Leicester. He said: "He's been a constant throughout my life... he was a real father figure." Mr Foulger, who lived in Barrow upon Soar, also had spells working in Nottingham, Birmingham and Coventry during his career in journalism. His final game working for the Coventry Telegraph was Coventry City's famous 3-2 FA Cup triumph in 1987 before he moved to Leicester to run a press agency. He then went on to report and commentate on football and cricket at BBC Radio Leicester for many years until he retired. Mr Peters recalled how he was employed by Mr Foulger at his news agency when he was 16 and went on to work with him at BBC Radio Leicester in the mid-1990s. They were reunited again in the press box during Leicester City's fairytale Premier League title-winning run in 2016. He added he was moved by the many tributes on social media from those who listened intently to games over the years. "As a boss he was hard but fair... I owe him lots. Today is a sad day," he said. "I learned so much from him, he was a brilliant journalist. He was a very giving, kind, caring person. "He was a wonderful family man - I saw him earlier this year and he really sparkled when he was talking about his family. "My heart is full of so much love that I could spend so much time with him over the years and learn from him." In a statement, Leicester City said: "We are all saddened to hear of the passing of much-loved journalist, Neville Foulger. "Covering countless City games, Nev commentated on some of the club’s greatest moments across several decades. "Nev was known by many generations as the voice of Leicester City, and will be sadly missed by all who knew him." He is survived by his wife Fran, children David and Anne, and his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
