Whilst this whole FA Cup encounter was scrappy, against dogged third tier opponents, West Ham came away with the win and can now move on the the fifth round – with the draw taking place tonight on TNT. They could then quickly feed Traore or Wilson in behind or recycle possession in the attacking third. The danger is without Pablo, (main pic) apparently now out for the season, Nuno will find himself back-tracking to his default. West Ham surely need to replicate their bold performances with fast flowing attacking football, rather than see Nuno undoing all the hard work by parking the bus. It has never worked for any of his predecessors, and it won’t work for him.

Revenue produced by the personal income tax routinely swings by more than 2 percent of GDP over short periods. The real long-term cost of Trump’s anti-trade tantrum is not the $200 billion or so a year in higher taxes on American consumers and businesses. The main result of Trump’s trade policy has not been a replacement of Chinese imports by U.S.-produced goods but a replacement of Chinese imports by Mexican and Vietnamese imports, as well as a shift away from goods and services offered by those nefarious ... Canadians. Granted, there was a time when a man such as myself would have a collection of hairpieces—but that’s beside the point!

Some American athletes at the Winter Olympic Games have made headlines for political statements, which is nothing new. President Donald Trump, unsurprisingly, criticized skier Hunter Hess this month for a remark he interpreted as critical of his administration. Trump isn’t shy about using the federal government’s purse strings as leverage against institutions he sees as hostile. Yet there is no risk that Trump will threaten the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee’s funding in a political spat, because the group doesn’t receive any federal money. Think the China of today or the Soviet Union of yesterday.

Hall is a 39-year-old former player who was the assistant quarterbacks coach for the Giants last season and the Jacksonville Jaguars coach in 2023-2024. Hall is familiar with Wan’Dale Robinson, who is an impending free agent for the Giants, after a career year. Palmer, who was less accomplished than Robinson at the time, signed a three-year, $29 million contract with the Bills that included $18 million guaranteed. Even if Robinson is retained, the Giants need to add more help to the wide receiver room. Alec Pierce, INDPierce makes sense if the Giants don’t re-sign Robinson, but still want to pursue an expensive wide receiver option.

Today’s statement from the Pima County sheriff is a direct response to so-called “armchair detectives” who have wildly – and sometimes irresponsibly – speculated about suspects in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. “The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple,” Sheriff Chris Nanos said Monday, suggesting that claims to the contrary risk revictimizing the family members. Now that the point has been made publicly, that the family members are not suspects, “let’s hope this puts an end to the reckless and malicious nonsense,” a longtime friend of Savannah Guthrie’s remarked to CNN. There has been a yawning gap between what traditional news outlets have been saying about the Nancy Guthrie investigation and what new-media influencers have been saying. A television journalist prepares to go live outside of Nancy Guthrie's residence in Tucson, Arizona, on Sunday.
