Callahan: J.C. Jackson trade a no-brainer for the Patriots, so what’s next?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:30 GMT

Bill Belichick has a problem.He’s under a time crunch.Where does he turn?The same time and place he has since the Patriots dynasty was a pre-teen: his past.Last January, after overseeing the worst offense of his tenure, Belichick re-hired Bill O’Brien. Before O’Brien arrived, Belichick replaced Josh McDaniels — another returned offensive coordinator — with retread assistants Matt Patricia and Joe Judge. And years before the offensive coaching carousel began in Foxboro, several Prodigal Patriots — from Deion Branch to Patrick Chung, Jamie Collins, LeGarrette Blount and Kyle Van Noy — returned home.So when Belichick stared at the cornerback-sized hole in his depth chart Wednesday, his best course, of course, was to trade for a familiar face: J.C. Jackson.Jackson returns to New England 18 months after signing a massive free-agent deal with the Chargers, who couldn’t unload him fast enough. Los Angeles agreed to pay most of Jackson’s remaining $9.33 million...

Bedbugs are making France anxious ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:30 GMT

PARIS (AP) — They creep, they crawl, they feast on your blood as you sleep. They may travel in your clothes or backpacks to find another person worth dining on — on the subway, or at the cinema. Bedbugs go where you go, and they have become a nightmare haunting France for weeks.The government has been forced to step in to calm an increasingly anxious nation that will host the Olympic Games in just over nine months — a prime venue for infestations of the crowd-loving insects.Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne called a meeting of ministers for Friday to tackle the bedbug crisis. The country’s transport minister, Clement Beaune, met this week with transportation companies to draw up a plan for monitoring and disinfecting — and to try to ease what some have called a national psychosis inflamed by the media.“There is no resurgence of cases,” Beaune said, telling reporters that 37 cases reported in the bus and Metro system and a dozen others on trains proved unfounded — as did viral vid...

Trump’s lawyers seek to postpone his classified documents trial until after the 2024 election

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:30 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have asked a judge to postpone his classified documents trial until after next year’s presidential election, saying they have not received all the records they need to review to prepare his defense.The trial on charges of illegally hoarding classified documents, among four criminal cases the Republican former president is facing, is currently scheduled for May 20, 2024, in Florida. In a motion filed late Wednesday, Trump’s lawyers urged U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to push back the trial until at least mid-November 2024. The presidential election is set for Nov. 5, 2024, with Trump currently leading the GOP field in the months before the primary season.The defense lawyers argued that a postponement was necessary because of scheduling conflicts — another federal trial is scheduled for March 2024 in Washington, and one of Trump’s attorneys, Christopher Kise, is also representing him in an ongoing civil ...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:16:30 GMT

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Ugandan security forces on Thursday briefly detained opposition figure Bobi Wine and foiled a planned street demonstration by his supporters who intended to welcome him at the airport.Wine, a singer and former lawmaker whose real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, was driven under police escort to his home outside Kampala after his arrival from a trip abroad, police said.Wine’s political party said he had been unlawfully detained at the airport.“The cowardly regime has arrested our President upon arrival at Entebbe Airport,” Mathias Mpuuga, the leader of the opposition in parliament, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, referring to Wine. “We set out to receive him today, but the panicky regime security could not even allow him into immigration.”Ugandan police frequently detain opposition figures in “preventive arrest” measures they say are necessary to preserve public order. Opposition rallies are rarely allowed in the East African country. Wine...

LONDON (AP) — Scottish authorities have signed an extradition order for an American fugitive accused of faking his own death to avoid a rape charge in Utah.In response to a freedom of information request, the Scottish government on Thursday said an extradition order for the man local officials refer to as Nicholas Rossi had been signed on Sept. 28. The government provided no other information.The suspect has fought a prolonged court battle to prevent his return to the United States since he was arrested in December 2021 at a Glasgow hospital, where he was being treated for COVID-19. Rossi, who insisted he was an Irish orphan named Arthur Knight and had never set foot on American soil, repeatedly appeared in court in a wheelchair using an oxygen mask and speaking in a British accent. The government signed the order after Judge Norman McFadyen of Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Aug. 2 ruled that the suspect could be extradited, saying he was “as dishonest and deceitful as he is evasive and...
