Published Thu, 06 Feb 2025 06:46:20 GMT

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Patriots took two weeks to decide on a starting quarterback for their Week 12 matchup against the Giants. There was no correct choice to be made.Head coach Bill Belichick ultimately decided to start the same quarterback the Patriots had trotted out all season in Mac Jones, who had barely outperformed Bailey Zappe while the two signal-callers split first-team reps 50-50 over the week of practice following a Week 11 bye, in Sunday’s 10-7 loss to the Giants.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots starter suprisingly active in Week 12 matchup with Giants New England Patriots | Source: Patriots planning to start QB Mac Jones against Giants New England Patriots | Patriots release backup QB before Giants game New England Patriots | Four Patriots players to watch Week 12 vs. Giants include underrated defender New England Patriots | NFL notes: Why Patriots players see 3 ...

‘Hunger Games’ feasts, ‘Napoleon’ comes up short

Published Thu, 06 Feb 2025 06:46:20 GMT

NEW YORK — The Walt Disney Co.’s “Wish” had been expected to rule the Thanksgiving weekend box office, but moviegoers instead feasted on leftovers, as “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” led ticket sales for the second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.Neither of the weekend’s top new releases — “Wish” and Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon” — could keep up with Lionsgate’s “Hunger Games” prequel.

Bruins notebook: Goaltending can’t carry the load forever

Published Thu, 06 Feb 2025 06:46:20 GMT

We are now past Thanksgiving, the traditional NHL demarcation line that supposedly separates the haves and have-nots. If you are in the playoffs by this time of year, history tells us that the odds are in your favor that you’ll be in the playoffs come April.That would suggest that the Bruins, still leading the Atlantic Division by six points, are safely ensconced in the post-season for a shot at redemption from last season’s failure. But one rather larger question remains about this team.Who and what are these 2023-24 Bruins exactly?One thing they are not is a team that can outscore its defensive lapses. In their 14 wins, they’ve kept their opponent to two goals or fewer. In their six losses (three regulation, three overtime) they’ve allowed more than two. The last week was particularly ugly. In going 1-2-1, they gave up 17 goals in the three losses.We should have seen coming the lost weekend in which they allowed a dozen goals in two games. The terrific Jere...

Ticker: Honda recalls select Accords and HR-Vs; EV sales on pace to set record 

Published Thu, 06 Feb 2025 06:46:20 GMT

Honda is recalling select 2023-2024 Accord and HR-V vehicles due to a missing piece in the front seat belt pretensioners, which could increase injury risks during a crash.According to notices published by Honda and the National Highway Safety Traffic Administration earlier this week, the pretensioners — which tighten seat belts in place upon impact — may be missing the rivet that secures the quick connector and wire plate.Regulators say this means that passengers may not be properly restrained in a crash. The NHTSA credited the issue to an error made during assembly. More than 300,000 Accords and HR-Vs are potentially affected.For consumers impacted by this recall, dealers will inspect all cars and potentially replace the seat belt pretensioner assembly at no cost. Those who have already paid for these repairs at their own expense may also be eligible for reimbursement.EV sales on pace to set recordElectric vehicle sales are expected to hit a record 9% of all passenger vehicles in t...
