Vikings rookie Jaren Hall will be backup quarterback with veteran Nick Mullens out

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:03:34 GMT

After being inactive for the first month of his career, rookie Jaren Hall will be the backup quarterback for the Vikings on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium. He was thrust into the role with usual backup quarterback Nick Mullens battling a back injury that kept him out of practice this week.Though it’s not likely that Hall will see action at any point — Kirk Cousins is among the most durable quarterback in the NFL — it certainly added another layer to the game plan for the Vikings in their matchup with the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.Asked about Hall this week, head coach Kevin O’Connell praised his development since the Vikings selected him in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.What if Hall has to play for the Vikings against the Chiefs?“That’s where the other guys in the huddle would need to step up,” O’Connell said. “I view that as a huge responsibility for myself with a young quarterback in there,...

Israel declares war, goes after Hamas fighters and bombards Gaza

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:03:34 GMT

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The Israeli government formally declared war Sunday and gave the green light for “significant military steps” to retaliate against Hamas for its surprise attack, as the military tried to crush fighters still in southern towns and intensified its bombardment of the Gaza Strip. The toll passed 1,100 dead and thousands wounded on both sides.More than 24 hours after Hamas launched its unprecedented incursion out of Gaza, Israeli forces were still battling with militants holed up in several locations. At least 700 people have reportedly been killed in Israel — a staggering toll on a scale the country has not experienced in decades — and more than 400 have been killed in Gaza.The declaration of war portended greater fighting ahead, and a major question was whether Israel would launch a ground assault into Gaza, a move that in the past has brought intensified casualties.As many as 1,000 Hamas fighters were involved in Saturday morning’s assault, according to U.S. Se...

After Saturday’s playoff loss, Brandon Hyde called it a “miscommunication.” Gunnar Henderson said Hyde made the call. Aaron Hicks declined to say what the sign was, echoing his manager’s description.So … what actually happened?There was confusion Saturday evening over what happened when Henderson was caught stealing in the ninth inning of the Orioles’ 3-2 Game 1 loss to the Texas Rangers, but Hyde clarified Sunday that Hicks missed a hit-and-run sign. By missing the sign, Hicks didn’t swing at a hittable pitch, leaving Henderson out to dry on his stolen base attempt.“We just missed the hit and run sign there,” Hyde said Sunday. “Hicksey has been wonderful for us this entire season in so many ways. We do put runners in motion, we don’t hit a ton of homers, trying to generate offense a little bit at times. And we bunt, we do the little things.

Expanded plastic ban pushed on Beacon Hill

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:03:34 GMT

Massachusetts could have led the nation in banning disposable food containers made from polystyrene a decade ago, a leader of an environmental advocacy group said as she pitched legislation that has instead stalled on Beacon Hill.More than 10 states and 60 Massachusetts municipalities have passed various bans on polystyrene, which can be made as a hard plastic or foam, said Jess Nahigian, political director of the Sierra Club’s Massachusetts chapter.“Polystyrene is unsustainable, it’s toxic — it is a synthetic petrochemical that doesn’t degrade,” Nahigian said at a Joint Committee on Public Health hearing late last week. “It creates microplastics that we find in our air, our water, our soil, shellfish, etc. It can’t be recycled.”The latest proposals from Rep. Marjorie Decker, the committee co-chair, and Sen. Michael Barrett would apply to single-use disposable products including plates, cups, bowls, hinged or lidded containers, s...
