(BCN) -- Leaders from the 21 member economies of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation conference assembled for their traditional family photo opportunity, deep within the bowels of San Francisco's Moscone Center Thursday. About 75 photographers from the media along with from official delegations and the White House Press Corp were present to record the event.

That tradition started in 1993 in the United States when then-President Bill Clinton gave attending leaders matching leather flight jackets.Photographers duly recorded the ritual after waiting about 90 minutes.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Dak Prescott is sizzling, and the Dallas Cowboys are winning the games they should win while eyeing a playoff run.The Carolina Panthers are heading toward a sixth straight losing season.The NFC foes are heading in opposite directions and will clash on Sunday in what is expected to feel like a home game for the Cowboys (6-3), even though it will be played at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium.Since Week 8, Prescott leads the NFL with 1,082 passing yards and 11 touchdown passes and ranks second with a 129.4 rating.

Saints coach Dennis Allen pledges to ‘evaluate everything’ during the bye week

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:36:54 GMT

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — When Saints coach Dennis Allen spoke this week about the need to “evaluate everything we’re doing” during New Orleans’ bye week, he didn’t exactly sound like someone whose team has an inside track to the postseason. With seven games left, the Saints’ outlook could be summed up as a mystifying mix of promising prospects and troubling trends.“We’ve been way too inconsistent,” Allen lamented.The Saints (5-5) hoped to enter the bye week on a three-game winning streak and with a sense they were hitting their stride. Instead, they nearly got run out of the stadium in Minnesota, falling behind 27-3 before scoring 16 straight points to make the final score look more respectable.Derek Carr led New Orleans to just one field goal before being knocked out of the game with concussion symptoms. The Saints also lost receiver Michael Thomas (knee) and top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (ankle) to injuries during the game that are not expected to be season ending, Allen said, but we...

Patriots will come out of their bye week with an eye on the future for Bill Belichick and Mac Jones

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:36:54 GMT

For now, the New England Patriots need to figure out who will play quarterback when they return from the bye week.Long term, they have even bigger problems.With the team on track to miss the playoffs for the third time in four seasons since Tom Brady defected to Tampa Bay, Bill Belichick’s job is at stake.Yes, you read that correctly: The six-time Super Bowl champion could be chasing Don Shula’s all-time coaching record from a new sideline next year.Belichick – whose boat is named “Eight Rings” because of the two other NFL titles he won as a New York Giants assistant – is one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. With 330 career wins, including postseason, he needs only 17 more to surpass Shula for No. 1 all-time.That once looked like a sure thing — just a few more 12-win seasons like he routinely racked up with Brady during the team’s string of 17 AFC East titles in 19 years. But his failure to be competitive without Brady, including a 2-8 record this season, means the 71-y...

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Oregon’s Bo Nix has become one of the best quarterbacks in the country this season and has legitimate Heisman Trophy aspirations after leading the nation’s most prolific offense.Arizona State’s coach Kenny Dillingham deserves a big chunk of the credit.Nix and the No. 6 Ducks (9-1) try to keep their Pac-12 championship and College Football Playoff hopes alive when they travel to face Arizona State (3-7) on Saturday. Oregon has won four straight games.Dillingham was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Auburn in 2019 when Nix won SEC Freshman of the Year. Nix broke the program’s freshman records for completions, passing yards and passing touchdowns after being the first true freshman to start a season opener at quarterback for Auburn since 1946.Dillingham would eventually end up at Oregon as the offensive coordinator and its a major reason Nix decided to transfer to the school after the 2021 season. The two had another productive se...
