Column: Darnell Mooney is a ‘forgotten piece’ for Chicago Bears offense while DJ Moore on pace to make team history

Published Sat, 28 Dec 2024 04:54:36 GMT

One way for the Chicago Bears to get more out of their passing game, which has been more productive this season with the arrival of DJ Moore, will be to get Darnell Mooney more involved over the final five games.Mooney has mostly been ignored in the passing game, a fact overshadowed to a large degree by the performance of Moore, who has 70 receptions for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns, putting him on pace to join Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery among one of the best seasons in franchise history.Moore has a chance to join Marshall (twice, record 118 in 2012), Allen Robinson, Marty Booker and Matt Forte as the only players in Bears history to catch 100 passes in a season. He also has a shot at eclipsing Marshall’s team-best 1,508 yards from 2012.In no way should the Bears should shift focus away from getting Moore as involved as possible. He has been every bit the difference maker the organization hoped — maybe more — since he was acquired in March in the trade w...

Israel presses ahead with bombarding Gaza, including areas it told Palestinians to evacuate to

Published Sat, 28 Dec 2024 04:54:36 GMT

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli warplanes struck parts of the Gaza Strip in relentless bombardment Saturday, hitting some of the dwindling bits of land it had told Palestinians to evacuate to in the territory’s south.The strikes came a day after the United States vetoed a United Nations resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza, despite its wide support. The vote in the 15-member Security Council was 13-1, with the United Kingdom abstaining.“Attacks from air, land and sea are intense, continuous and widespread,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the council before the vote. Gaza residents “are being told to move like human pinballs – ricocheting between ever-smaller slivers of the south, without any of the basics for survival.”Gaza was at a "breaking point” with the humanitarian support system at risk of collapse, and Guterres said he feared “the consequences could be devastating for the security of the entire region.”Gaza’s borders with Israel an...

A classic scene from 'Elf' was almost scrapped at the request of Macy's, according to the director

Published Sat, 28 Dec 2024 04:54:36 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – Santa doesn’t smell like “beef and cheese” as far as Macy’s is concerned.The 2003 Christmas film “Elf” produced a number of now-classic scenes, including Buddy’s first taste of the “World’s Best” coffee and his attempt to hug a feral raccoon. But arguably the most memorable scene — when Buddy exposes a department-store Santa as an imposter — was almost scrapped before it was filmed.In a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone, “Elf” director Jon Favreau explained that the scene was nearly nixed in order to appease Macy’s, which had offered to let the production film at Santaland inside its flagship location on 34th Street in Manhattan.Macy’s, however, didn’t like the idea of being associated with an “imposter” Santa Claus, according to Favreau. So if “Elf” wanted to film at the Santaland in Macy's, or even mention Macy’s in the movie, the scene had to go.“We had to think long and hard about it,” Favreau told Rolling Stone in 2013. “We ended up filming it in the cafeteria of a ...

ROUND ROCK, Texas (KXAN) – A federal court convicted Friday a Round Rock man of wire fraud, sentencing him to two years in prison.Daniel Akira Mills, 22, participated in a wire fraud conspiracy that involved “SIM card swaps” and defrauding people of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

From social media to managing our finances, they have become essential tools. This can be very helpful, but also comes with many risks,” said U.S. Attorney Jaime Esparza for the Western Dis...

Published Sat, 28 Dec 2024 04:54:36 GMT

(NEXSTAR) — Picking a new restaurant can be intimidating, especially for people who want something they know they'll like. But if you look at most review websites, you might notice most people just don't bother rating chain restaurants.And while review sites, like TripAdvisor, are a wealth of information for discovering great eats from independent businesses, they can also offer insight into which chain restaurants get high marks. What’s Texas’ most popular Christmas song? So in case you've ever wondered, here are TripAdvisor's highest rated chain restaurants in Texas. But first a quick note on the methodology: in order to be considered, a business needed to have at least 10 relatively recent reviews. Because of this, there may potentially be locations that have higher bubble ratings than the top locations listed, however, the volume and date of their ratings may not have met these criteria for inclusion.When possible, we've taken care to highlight restaurants with technically low...
