The Jets might be improved. But they still can’t intercept a pass.

The Jets might be improved. But they still can’t intercept a pass.

Three weeks into the NFL season, after suffering two losses by a combined 10 points, New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn held his index finger and thumb inches apart to illustrate how close he felt his team was to a breakthrough. “How do we close that gap?” Glenn said Sunday in Detroit, after a loss to the Lions that left the Jets 1-2. “I challenge myself, I challenge the staff, I even challenge the players on let’s identify a couple things that we need to improve on and let’s make sure that we hone in on those things.” One area isn’t hard to find: No team has been worse at intercepting passes in NFL history than the Jets. The league’s record-setting interceptionless streak grew to 20 games during New York’s Week 3 loss at Detroit. New York last picked off a pass on Jan. 5, 2025, when it recorded two. Ever since, the Jets’ defense has faced 608 passes with nary a pick to show for it. “That’s hard to do,” former NFL coach Jon …

​Winning tip: History, buns and Italianate porticoes in Münster In an often overlooked corner of Germany, near the Dutch border, Münster is an absolute gem. Covered porticos will convince you you’re in northern Italy, gothic churches will remind you you’re in Mitteleuropa and the buns from Zeit für Brot will insist you’re in heaven. Nature-lovers can take in the Botanical Gardens and relax by the Münstersche Aa river. Those of a historical bent can peek into the room where the Treaty of Westphalia was signed in 1648 and mull the report card of nation states in the nearly 400 years since. But really, it’s a great place just to drop-anchor and lose a few days.Jeremy Germany’s highest railway bridge, near Düsseldorf Photograph: Hackenberg-Photo-Cologne/Alamy In the verdant countryside near Düsseldorf, the 129-year-old Müngsten Bridge, the country’s highest railway bridge, rises 107 metres above the River Wupper.

Newsom signs ‘ghost ticket’ ban, but critics say StubHub got a pass

Newsom signs ‘ghost ticket’ ban, but critics say StubHub got a pass

Published by Sam Flores

California is taking action against the sale of “ghost tickets.” Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday signed Assembly Bill 1349, bipartisan legislation that targets the live-event ticketresale market. “Ghost tickets,” also known as speculative tickets, are concert and sports tickets that resellers list before they actually have them. The new law bars sellers from advertising, listing or selling tickets they don’t possess or have the legal right to receive, unless the event’s presenter or venue allows it. It’s intended to address persistent complaints from consumers about the practice. “Buying a ticket shouldn’t come with hidden risks or unfair practices,” Newsom said on X. The law prohibits using software to get around ticket limits, queue and presale restrictions. It restricts websites and ads designed to make resellers look like authorized ticket sources. Sellers in violation could face misdemeanor charges and penalties. But Newsom signed the bill with reservations. In a statement, the governor said the measure appears to take “an uneven approach allowing select ticket sellers to avoid certain obligations under the bill.” He urged the bill …

Jackson’s Pass, Alert Timeout Call Lead to Loop’s 56-Yard Field Goal as Ravens Beat Cowboys 34-31

Jackson’s Pass, Alert Timeout Call Lead to Loop’s 56-Yard Field Goal as Ravens Beat Cowboys 34-31

Published by Sam Flores

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Lamar Jackson used his big right arm and a little bit of quick thinking to lead the Baltimore Ravens to one of their shortest and most memorable drives in franchise history. Jackson completed a 27-yard pass to Zay Flowers and alertly called a timeout with 1 second left, setting up Tyler Loop’s 56-yard field goal to cap a stunning 7-second drive that gave the Ravens a 34-31 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in Brazil. “Everyone was on the same timing,” Jackson said of the final drive. “The line did a great job protecting, Zay ran a great route and I just had to deliver the baby. He caught it and as soon as he got down, I was like ‘Please see me ref!’” The Ravens (2-1) and Cowboys (1-2) put on a entertaining show in front of an announced crowd of 72,792 during the NFL’s third game in Brazil and first in the city of Rio de Janeiro, engaging in a back-and-forth contest that featured plenty of big …

Years before his CNN and Politico ban, Trump yanked my press pass

Years before his CNN and Politico ban, Trump yanked my press pass

Published by Sam Flores

Early morning chaos reigned at the White House on Thursday. In the pre-dawn hours, federal District Court Judge Timothy Kelly granted CNN, Politico and MS NOW a temporary restraining order allowing them to regain access to the White House after Donald Trump had unceremoniously yanked their press passes last Friday. But the Secret Service and White House officials initially refused access to those reporters as the work day began, even as Trump allowed entry to Chinese state media, telling them they were friendlier than the independent Washington press corps. Sitting In evident defiance of a court order, (he never stands for anything, unless it’s to bow to an authoritarian leader) Trump appeared ready to risk an acute constitutional crisis. By noon he had backed down.  So by my count that leaves First Amendment attorney Ted Boutrous, who represented the news organizations, 5–0 when pitching against Donald Trump. That’s one hell of a legacy. If I leave a legacy, I hope it’s for something as well done.  I imagine Donald Trump wishes the same thing. But …

Create a Custom Pass in the Wallet App on iPhone

Create a Custom Pass in the Wallet App on iPhone

Published by skeptic

In iOS 27, Apple’s Wallet app lets you create custom passes for things like event tickets, gift cards, loyalty cards, and more. Here’s how it works. If you have a ticket for an event and there’s not a digital version available for the Wallet app, you can create one using the physical pass you have. The same goes for other cards, like a membership card, for example. The Wallet app can use ‌Visual Intelligence‌ to scan your card, and it will match it to a template with corresponding fields that you can tweak before adding it to your Wallet. Alternatively, you can create the pass manually, choose a template (“Membership,” “Event,” or “Custom”) and then adjust the color and other details. All you need to do then is scan the barcode or QR code from your physical pass. Each template includes relevant information like name, location, or admission type. There are 12 background colors to choose from, or seven custom backgrounds for categories like theater, music, sports, and movies. Fields can be added or removed …
