Exeter winger injured hamstring in trainingFurbank and Genge also doubts for Scotland matchImmanuel Feyi-Waboso has been ruled out of England’s forthcoming pursuit of the triple crown and is a major doubt for the rest of the Six Nations tournament, while Steve Borthwick has fitness concerns over George Furbank and Ellis Genge as his team seek to end their Murrayfield hoodoo on Saturday.Feyi-Waboso pulled out of the 48‑7 victory against Wales 24 hours before kick-off after sustaining a hamstring injury and was replaced by Tom Roebuck. The Exeter winger will be out for “a number of weeks”, ensuring he misses the trip to Murrayfield and the visit of Ireland to Twickenham a week later. He has not yet been ruled out of England’s entire campaign but the chances of him appearing seem remote and he has been left out of the 36‑man squad called into camp on Sunday night.

Hunt backs Turning Point USA’s rival half-time showGoodell stands firm despite Trump-driven backlashGracie Hunt, the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, is throwing her support behind Turning Point USA’s plan to stage an alternative Super Bowl half-time show, a direct counter to the NFL’s decision to feature Bad Bunny at Super Bowl LX.Hunt said in an appearance on Fox News Channel’s The Will Cain Show on Tuesday that she “most definitely” backs Turning Point’s counter-programming effort, spearheaded by Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk. The NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny for the half-time show has attracted strong pushback from many on the right, who object to his criticism of Donald Trump and US immigration enforcement.

By freezing thresholds, Labour is quietly loading the cost of public services on to young graduates, while insisting it has not raised taxes at allThe personal finance expert Martin Lewis upbraided the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, for freezing the threshold at which millions of graduates repay their loans, saying that this was treating student debts like tax. He was right, and Ms Reeves’s defence last weekend made his case for him. She argued that her decision would help to fund a reduction in patient waiting lists. But money used to repay student loans cannot simultaneously fund public services. In economic terms, such charges are taxes in all but name.Mr Lewis’s reasoning was nuanced. He pointed out that freezing the repayment threshold is either a retrospective rewriting of the terms of a private contract or a targeted tax rise on a cohort of young people. Neither, he said, fits Ms Reeves’s claim that the policy is “fair and reasonable”. There are five student “loan” plans in operation covering most postgraduate courses, Scotland and three largely English student cohorts: entrants pre-2012, those between 2012 and 2023, and those post-2023.

On Oct. 2, the second day of the government shutdown, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem arrived at Mount Rushmore to shoot a television ad. Sitting on horseback in chaps and a cowboy hat, Noem addressed the camera with a stern message for immigrants: “Break our laws, we’ll punish you.”  Noem has hailed the more than $200 million, taxpayer-funded ad campaign as a crucial tool to stem illegal immigration. Her agency invoked the “national emergency” at the border as it awarded contracts for the campaign, bypassing the normal competitive bidding process designed to prevent waste and corruption. The Department of Homeland Security has kept at least one beneficiary of the nine-figure ad deal a secret, records and interviews show: a Republican consulting firm with long-standing personal and business ties to Noem and her senior aides at DHS. The company running the Mount Rushmore shoot, called the Strategy Group, does not appear on public documents about the contract. The main recipient listed on the contracts is a mysterious Delaware company, which was created days before the deal was finalized. No firm has closer ties to Noem’s political operation than the Strategy Group. It played a central role in her 2022 South Dakota gubernatorial campaign. Corey Lewandowski, her top adviser at DHS, has worked extensively with the firm. And the company’s CEO is married to Noem’s chief spokesperson at DHS, Tricia McLaughlin.read more

The gruesome finish to the US star’s comeback, at age 41 and with a ruptured ACL, is a reminder of skiing’s unforgiving natureThere was always a version of this story that ended in a single, violent instant. Lindsey Vonn was 13th to push out of the start gate on Sunday in Cortina d’Ampezzo knowing exactly what she was racing with: a fully ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee, a heavy brace wrapped around the joint, and the accumulated wear of a career spent flirting with speed and consequence.Vonn barely made it out of the opening phase of the run.

Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker is the one offensive player who stood out in the first half of Super Bowl LX. So it's no surprise that he's the favorite to be the game's Most Valuable Player.With the Seahawks leading 9-0 at halftime, the MVP odds at DraftKings have Walker first at +110, followed by Seaahawks quarterback Sam Darnold at +210.Walker has 100 yards from scrimmage and has been by far the best offensive player on the field in the first half.It's not over for the Patriots, and quarterback Drake Maye is at +650 to win MVP. He'll need to engineer a second-half comeback for that to happen.An intriguing long shot is Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is at +1800. No kicker has ever won Super Bowl MVP, but no player has ever scored all of the points in a Super Bowl, either. Myers has scored all of the points in the game so far, and if that continues through the second half, the MVP could be his.If Walker wins the award, he'll be the first running back to win Super Bowl MVP since Denver's Terrell Davis in 1998.

After a first down run by Kenneth Walker to move the chains, Sam Darnold found a pair of downfield completions to move inside the red zone. New England’s defense then held strong from there to force a field goal. [Patriots 0 : 3 Seahawks]New England’s first drive of the day started with three straight touches for Rhamondre Stevenson, including a third-down conversion through the air. After a 12-yard scramble by Maye then set up a 3rd-and-9 after a sack, a blitz off the blindside resulted in a throwaway and punt.Seattle’s next drive started back up at their own 10-yard line. Immediately facing a 3rd-and-6, Darnold escaped a blitzing Jaylinn Hawkins but missed a wide open Jaxon Smith-Njigba downfield forcing a punt.A play-action under center pass out of six their O-line group to Kayshon Boutte started the Patriots next drive with a 21-yard gain. Two straight touches to TreVeyon Henderson then set up a 3rd-and-15, where a Seattle blitz got home again for a sack. New England then punted again.Behind another good punt by Bryce Baringer and coverage by Dell Pettus, Seattle again started inside their own 20. Two run stuffs then set up a 3rd-and-7, where a check down to Barner moved the chains. A big TFL by Craig Woodson and then a pass breakup got Seattle back into a 3rd-and-15 in which Darnold’s pass was incomplete leading to a punt.Second QuarterNew England continued to struggle to move the football on their next drive, as an incompletion to an open Hunter Henry was followed by a third-down run stop on Stevenson. New England punted again.Following a big time pass breakup downfield by Christian Gonzalez, running back Kenneth Walker found the edge to break free for 30 yards. Two plays later, Walker found running room again escaping for 29 more to move inside the red zone. With Seattle then facing a 3rd-and-12, a pitch to Walker went for a loss again thanks to Woodson. New England forced another field goal. [Patriots 0 : 6 Seahawks]With the deficit now six, a long developing second-down sack forced the Patriots into a 3rd-and-17, where a screen to Stefon Diggs went for just five and another punt.Kenneth Walker picked up a pair of first downs to get the Seahawks over midfield. A third down incompletion to Walker then forced a punt by Seattle, which was downed at the 2-yard line.Backed up on their own end zone, Maye converted a big third-down to DeMario Douglas for a nine-yard gain. Back in a third-and-long after a false start by Will Campbell, Maye uncorked one downfield in a muddy pocket that fell incomplete to Mack Hollins.Working over midfield prior to the two-minute warning, Seattle converted a 3rd-and-2 on the ground with 32 seconds remaining. Set up with another 3rd-and-short after using their final timeouts, Darnold’s pass to JSN in the end zone was broken up and nearly intercepted by Gonzalez. New England then held to another field goal.With six seconds left in the half, Drake Maye took a knee.Third quarterNew Englands first drive of the second half followed a similar trend as the first half, as they punted after Maye’s third-down throw was incomplete to a smothered Kayshon Boutte.

Kris Marszalek, CEO and co-founder of crypto and stock trading platform Crypto.com, has bought an expensive website. In this case it's AI.com, valued at one point at $100 million, which will serve as the online home for his new company of the same name. The website launch is being paired with a Super Bowl ad that will air this Sunday.AI.com's main offering is an AI agent that "operates on the user’s behalf — organizing work, sending messages, executing actions across apps, building projects, and more." It's a similar concept to what companies like OpenAI, Anthropic and Google are promising with their own agents and agentic features, and notably lacking in hard details. Users can make multiple agents with AI.com and have them do a variety of tasks — the company's press release mentions trading stocks and updating a dating profile, for example — while remaining permission-based and private. It's not clear if AI.com is offering its own AI models or licensing those offered by other companies, but clearly whatever it offers, both for free and via a planned paid subscription, will be flexible.Like Crypto.com's big push into the mainstream during late 2021 and early 2022, AI.com is arriving at a particularly hype-filled time in the AI industry. Anthropic's Claude Code and Claude Cowork tools have been taken up as evidence that AI might actually make people more productive, so AI.com's decision to push an agent of its own is timely. Of course, after Crypto.com's big Matt Damon ad in 2021, and Super Bowl ad in 2022, Bitcoin prices hit an all-time low in June 2022. Ironically, Marszalek's AI.com is also launching during a particularly nasty "crypto winter" which has lowered the price of Bitcoin to under $66,000, a steep drop from the $127,000 it cost in October 2025. That's not to suggest the AI.com CEO is a groundhog for deflating hype balloons. More likely, it's a sign that the future of AI could be as unpredictable and volatile as cryptocurrency. This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/the-cryptocom-guy-bought-aicom-and-a-super-bowl-ad-234325394.html?src=rss

Determining value is difficult, and so it’s no surprise the Super Bowl MVP award usually goes to quarterbacks. From Super Bowl 1 to 59, 34 of the 60 MVP award winners were quarterbacks. And just to clarify, there were 60 winners in the first 59 games because Harvey Martin and Randy White split it in Super Bowl 12.One notable fact is that a kicker or punter has never won the MVP award. The only special teams player to win the award was Desmond Howard at Super Bowl 31. Although he played wide receiver, Howard won the award because of his work as the Packers’ kick returner. The Patriots had cut the Packers lead to 27-21 in the third quarter, but then Howard ran back the ensuing kickoff for a 99-yard touchdown to secure the game.There have been some notable performances by punters and kickers, but it’s never been enough to secure the award. Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri had two game-winning field goals, but Tom Brady won the award in both games.In Super Bowl 53, New England punter Ryan Allen had an outside shot at the award in the Patriots 13-3 win over the the Rams. He had five punts that averaged 43 yards, and dropped the Rams inside their own 20 three separate times. Given that Julian Edelman finished with 10 receptions for 141 yards, it’s not surprising he took home the MVP award.The Seahawks and Patriots are facing off in Super Bowl 60. Michael Dickson gets a lot of love for his work as a punter, and Jason Myers has been an important cog for Seattle. Maybe the drought ends in 2026?

NBC's "Saturday Night Live" has long skewered Trump and other political leaders in its sketches.NBC/Will Heath/NBC via Getty Images"Saturday Night Live" is back with Bad Bunny hosting."SNL" has a history of mocking political figures, including Trump.Some late-night comedians, however, have recently faced backlash for their political satire.Fans tuning into the premiere of "Saturday Night Live" are likely accustomed to the comedy sketch show's unapologetic approach to political satire.Cast members have mocked everyone from former US President Barack Obama to Russian President Vladimir Putin. President Donald Trump, who once called the show "unwatchable," has been the subject of many sketches.The late-night show landscape, however, is more perilous this time around.Last month, ABC suspended "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after Kimmel joked about Trump's response to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.The suspension came after Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr criticized Kimmel and suggested the network should take action against the show during an interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson.Trump, who appointed Carr as FCC chairman, has repeatedly criticized Kimmel and other late-night show hosts on Truth Social.ABC suspended "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in September.Randy Holmes/Disney via Getty ImagesSoon after, Nexstar, an ABC-affiliate, said it would "preempt" the show "for the foreseeable future." Another affiliate, Sinclair, also suspended the show from its stations.While Trump and members of his administration praised the decision, many politicians and celebrities said it was a troubling infringement on freedom of speech and the long tradition of late-night hosts lampooning American leaders. Some customers of Disney, which owns ABC, canceled their Disney+ subscriptions and Disney-themed vacations in response.The Kimmel cancellation, along with broader political tensions, has reverberated beyond just the entertainment industry. Public relations experts told Business Insider that CEOs are declining press and other speaking opportunities, even on seemingly benign topics, for fear of irking the White House. They said company leaders are also being extra cautious about what they write online and in internal communications.While ABC and its affiliates have since lifted the suspension of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," all eyes are now on "Saturday Night Live" to see if the half-century-old comedy show tackles the subject of Kirk's murder, the resulting fallout from Kimmel's routine, or any number of other hot-button subjects that have arisen in Trump's second term.And as if there wasn't enough potential for the show, which will also debut a number of rookie cast members, to wade into hot water, Bad Bunny is scheduled to host.The NFL announced this week that the Puerto Rican superstar would host the NFL Super Bowl Halftime Show in February, drawing criticism from some corners of Trump's base.Conservative commentator and former Fox News host Megyn Kelly called the decision an affront to MAGA."You tell me whether this is an active middle finger to all of MAGA and the right wing by putting this guy, who likes to dress in women's dresses, and who hates the United States so much he won't come here because he's worried about ICE raiding his concert, as our Super Bowl entertainment," Kelly said.Bad Bunny cited concerns over Trump's immigration crackdown as one reason for only holding shows in Puerto Rico, and not the rest of the US.Representatives for NBC did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.Read the original article on Business Insider

When WWE 2K26 launches in March, it will introduce one major change to a feature that's been core to the franchise for years. DLC packs are no longer being offered for sale, as publisher 2K instead implements a battle pass system for unlockables throughout the game. The change has rankled a fair number of WWE games fans who think they now have to work for the DLC in addition to paying for it. In reality, it's a very different story.

Sue Miller suggests that there are diplomatic and practical steps that could make us all much saferSimon Tisdall is absolutely right (China is leading the charge to nuclear Armageddon – and Starmer barely noticed, 1 February). From our prime minister to the person in the street, no one is talking about nuclear weapons, yet nuclear weapons states are busy modernising their arsenals and, in China’s case, increasing the numbers. Treaties supposed to limit nuclear proliferation have failed or are failing. Concern about this in civil society is minimal, and in parliament only a few of us address it as a matter of urgency. I can understand that climate change, AI, Gaza and Ukraine are all issues of pressing and immense concern.In recent decades, the incidence of false alarms has brought the world to the brink of nuclear war more than once. The nuclear-non proliferation treaty review conference will take place in April this year. The last two NPTs have largely failed; this time world leaders, including our prime minister, must ensure that at the very least the trajectory is changed from the current one. Continue reading...
