Steelers super bowl rings

With kickoff less than three weeks away, the excitement around the Super Bowl is palpable. The big game often comes with worries about potential increases in sex and labor trafficking because of the influx of visitors and crowds. Experts say this year's host city, Los Angeles, is especially vulnerable because of its proximity to airports and the U.S.-Mexico border and because it has a large immigrant population. But people who work to prevent trafficking every day say the problem needs focused attention year-round, not just during big sporting events. Still, companies are ramping up campaigns to inform people about red flags to look out for regarding possible victims. “We absolutely prepare for big events, whether that’s the Super Bowl, the Olympics, anything that has been going on in our cities. We make sure that we are beefing up operations,” said Carrol Chang, global head of driver and courier operations for Uber. The company is staffing up its public safety … [Read more...] about Companies launch anti-trafficking campaign tied to Super Bowl

9 LOS ANGELES (AP) — For the third straight week, the Los Angeles Rams took a huge early lead. For the second time in those three weeks, they subsequently gave it all away. The Rams (14-5) got away with it in the divisional playoff round in Tampa Bay, thanks to Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp impressively setting up Matt Gay's winning field goal as time expired on their 30-27 victory. “All the adversity and all of the things that we did or, give them credit, they forced some of those plays to get back in the game, (but) I never sensed any sort of panic,” coach Sean McVay said. “I think there was some frustration, which was understandable. But I thought the guys just kept playing. They kept battling. That's what a great team does.” But two weeks before that, the Rams paid for their profligacy in yet another loss to the San Francisco 49ers, who just happen to be their opponent in the NFC championship game this … [Read more...] about Rams on brink of Super Bowl despite struggling to close wins

Even the winning coach, Andy Reid, questions the NFL’s overtime setup. One day after Reid’s Chiefs won the OT coin toss, then marched downfield for Travis Kelce’s 8-yard touchdown reception to end an epic divisional-round game with the Bills, Reid recognized how fortunate Kansas City was to prevail 42-36. “I had a chance to talk with Sean afterward,” Reid said of Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott, “and that I’m sure is something they’re going to look at again, too. ... To make things equal, it probably needs to be able to hit both offenses, both defenses.” That didn’t happen Sunday, and it has not happened much in the playoffs since the rules were adopted in 2010 for the postseason, 2012 for the regular schedule. Under those guidelines for the playoffs: • Teams play 15-minute periods until there’s a winner. • A touchdown or safety on the first possession wins. • If the score is tied after each team’s first possession the next score will win the game. In 11 playoff … [Read more...] about After K.C.’s epic win over Buffalo, NFL overtime rule questioned

9 SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers didn't know if they would even get another chance when they punted the ball away in the final two minutes of the season finale still needing a touchdown to extend their season. Now after mounting that late-game comeback at SoFi Stadium in Week 18 and winning on the road at Dallas and Green Bay the past two weeks, the Niners head back to Los Angeles for an improbable NFC title game appearance against the Rams on Sunday. The road has been far from easy as San Francisco (12-7) needed to force a three-and-out, drive 88 yards for the tying score and win in overtime just to get to the playoffs and then win a pair of nail-biters, including Saturday night's 13-10 win against the Packers just to get back to the title game. Now two years after a fourth-quarter collapse in the Super Bowl against Kansas City, the 49ers are one game away from returning to that stage. … [Read more...] about 49ers’ improbable run leads them back to L.A. to face Rams

TAMPA, Florida, EE.UU. (AP) — Algo que Tom Brady ciertamente debe reconocer mientras se toma un tiempo para decidir sobre su futuro: la alineación de los Buccaneers será muy distinta la próxima temporada, con o sin el ganador de siete ediciones del Super Bowl. Hasta la primavera pasada, los Bucs desafiaron todas las apuestas y mantuvieron a todos sus titulares que los llevaron a ganar el segundo campeonato en la historia de la franquicia, pero en esta ocasión el gerente general Jason Licht y el entrenador Bruce Arians no están en posición de replicar la situación. Primero está Brady, de 44 años, y su decisión de si se retirará o regresará para su 23ma temporada y tercera con Tampa Bay, que fracasó en su intento de convertirse en el primer equipo en casi dos décadas en repetir títulos con la derrota el domingo por 30-27 ante los Rams de Los Ángeles en la ronda divisional. A Brady le queda un año de contrato y ha dicho que quiere seguir jugando hasta sus 45 años o más. Pero … [Read more...] about Con o sin Brady, Bucs se verán distintos en 2022

Of all the disappearing stories in the American consciousness, none has receded from the public eye quite like football concussions. It’s hard to remember now, but less than a decade ago, President Barack Obama said that if he had a son, he would have to think “long and hard” before letting him play football. Stories were published about parents pulling their children from youth and high school football; obituaries were written for the future of the sport. In 2015, Will Smith, one of the biggest movie stars in the world, starred as Dr. Bennet Omalu, the forensic pathologist whose research first linked football with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (C.T.E.), a brain disease that leads to memory loss, erratic behavior and depression. One study found C.T.E. in 110 of 111 deceased N.F.L. players . That alarm seems to have been replaced by a type of theater around concussions. In the first quarter of last night’s thrilling playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City … [Read more...] about We Used to Care That Football Players Got Concussions

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona State has hired former Baltimore Ravens coach Brian Billick as an offensive analyst and adviser to coach Herm Edwards. “I have known Brian since the 1980s and he is a person whom I completely trust,” Edwards said in a statement on Monday. "He has built one of the finest reputations the NFL has ever known, serving as a head coach, an assistant coach and as a respected television analyst. Brian has one of the brightest offensive minds in football today and that is especially why I hired him. He will serve as a valuable resource to our entire coaching staff, but specifically to our offensive staff.” Billick won the Super Bowl with the Ravens in 2001 and led them to three other playoff appearances in nine seasons. He went 80-64 before being fired in 2007. He has spent the past 12 years providing commentary and draft analysis for Fox and NFL Network. He last coached in college at Stanford in 1991.
