In doing so, people are called to self-reflect on their failings and flaws.No matter how you spend the day, it’s a time to atone in your own way, whether in a synagogue or at home. Synagogues hold religious services throughout the day for practicing Jews to come pray introspectively, either askin...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:01:12 GMT

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner accused Patriots quarterback Mac Jones of taking things a little too far by hitting him in his “private parts” during New England’s 15-10 victory on Sunday.With the Patriots facing third-and-1 from the Jets 45 early in the fourth quarter, Jones pushed forward to try to get a first down on a quarterback sneak. He was stuffed by several New York defenders, but kept churning his legs after the whistle blew.Jones — who has been accused of a few dirty plays during his two-plus seasons in the NFL — got into it with several Jets players, and linebacker C.J. Mosley slammed the quarterback to the turf. When Jones got up, Gardner said the Patriots player bumped into him — and the Jets cornerback shoved him after he said he took an inappropriate shot below the belt.“He had got tackled,” Gardner said. “He reached his hand up to try to, like, get me to help him up. And I just moved his hand out of the way. ...

'Iron sharpens iron' when the Texas Longhorns defend in the red zone

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:01:12 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The old sports cliche of a team "bending but not breaking," is of course rooted in a myriad of examples, and the Texas Longhorns defense certainly fits that bill so far this season.Baylor reached the Longhorns' red zone, the area between the 20-yard line and the goal line, six times and came away with only two field goals. Two of the times the Bears advanced the ball that deep in Longhorns territory were from muffed punts, but even when Baylor's offense marched it close, the Texas defense stood tall. Instant Analysis: Texas leaves Waco for final time with resounding victory over Baylor In four games this season, the Longhorns are tied for second in FBS in red zone defense, allowing opponents to score just five out of 10 times. Four of the scores are field goals and the Longhorns are one of just four teams that have yet to allow a rushing touchdown in the red zone. The Longhorns are tied with Michigan and Duke while Syracuse has allowed teams to score in the red zon...
