panalo 999 DENVER (AP) — So you're the most valuable player of that annual Thanksgiving Day backyard flag football game. Or played tackle football on any level. Or ran track. Or dabbled in basketball. Or toyed with any sport, really. Well, this may be just for you: USA Football is holding talent identification camps all over the country to find that next flag football star. It's “America’s Got Talent” meets “American Idol,” with the stage being the field and the grand prize a chance to compete for a spot on a national team. Because it’s never too early to start planning for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, where flag football will make its Summer Games debut. Know this, though — it's not an easy team to make. The men's and women's national team rosters are at “Dream Team” status given the men’s side has captured six of the last seven world championships and the women three in a row. To remain on top, the sport's national governing body is scouring every football field, park, track, basketball court and gym to find hidden talent to cultivate. USA Football has organized camps and tryouts from coast to coast for anyone ages 11 to 23. There are more than a dozen sites set up so far, ranging from Dallas (Sunday) to Chicago (Dec. 14) to Tampa (March 29) to Los Angeles (TBD) and the Boston area (April 27), where it will be held at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots. The organization has already partnered with the NFL on flag football initiatives and programs. The numbers have been through the roof, with engagement on social media platforms increasing by 86% since flag football was announced as an Olympic invitational sport in October 2023 . The participation of boys and girls ages 6 to 17 in flag football last year peaked at more than 1.6 million, according to USA Football research. “We pride ourselves on elevating the gold standard across the sport,” said Eric Mayes, the managing director of the high performance and national teams for USA Football. “We want to be the best in the world — and stay the best in the world.” Flag football was one of five new sports added to the LA28 program. The already soaring profile of American football only figures to be enhanced by an Olympic appearance. Imagine, say, a few familiar faces take the field, too. Perhaps even NFL stars such as Tyreek Hill or Patrick Mahomes, maybe even past pro football greats donning a flag belt for a country to which they may have ties. Soon after flag football's inclusion, there was chatter of NFL players possibly joining in on the fun. Of course, there are logistical issues to tackle before their inclusion at the LA Olympics, which open July 14, 2028. Among them, training camp, because the Olympics will be right in the middle of it. The big question is this: Will owners permit high-priced players to duck out for a gold-medal pursuit? No decisions have yet been made on the status of NFL players for the Olympics. For now, it's simply about growing the game. There are currently 13 states that sanction girls flag football as a high school varsity sport. Just recently, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles helped pave the way to get it adopted in Pennsylvania. Around the world, it's catching on, too. The women's team from Japan took third at the recent word championships, while one of the best players on the planet is Mexico quarterback Diana Flores . “Could flag football globally become the new soccer? That’s something to aspire to," said Stephanie Kwok , the NFL's vice president of flag football. This type of flag football though, isn't your Thanksgiving Day game with family and friends. There's a learning curve. And given the small roster sizes, versatility is essential. Most national team members need to be a version of Colorado’s two-way standout and Heisman hopeful Travis Hunter. Forget bump-and-run coverage, too, because there's no contact. None. That took some adjusting for Mike Daniels, a defensive back out of West Virginia who earned a rookie minicamp invitation with the Cleveland Browns in 2017. “If a receiver is running around, I’m thinking, ‘OK, I can kind of bump him here and there and nudge him,’” Daniels explained. “They’re like, ‘No, you can’t.’ I’m just like, ‘So I’m supposed to let this guy just run?!’ I really rebelled at the idea at first. But you learn.” The competition for an Olympic roster spot is going to be fierce because only 10 players are expected to make a squad. The best 10 will earn it, too, as credentials such as college All-American or NFL All-Pro take a backseat. “I would actually love" seeing NFL players try out, said Daniels, who's also a personal trainer in Miami. “I’m not going to let you just waltz in here, thinking, ‘I played NFL football for five years. I’m popular. I have a huge name.’ I’m still better than you and I'm going to prove it — until you prove otherwise.” Around the house, Bruce Mapp constantly swivels his hips when turning a hallway corner or if his daughter tries to reach for a hug. It’s his way of working on avoiding a “defender” trying to snare the flag. That approach has earned the receiver out of Coastal Carolina four gold medals with USA Football. The 31-year-old fully plans on going for more gold in Los Angeles. “You grow up watching Usain Bolt (win gold) and the ‘Redeem Team’ led by Kobe Bryant win a gold medal, you're always thinking, ‘That's insane.' Obviously, you couldn't do it in your sport, because I played football," said Mapp, who owns a food truck in the Dallas area. "With the Olympics approaching, that (gold medal) is what my mind is set on." It's a common thought, which is why everything — including talent camps — starts now. “Everybody thinks, ‘Yeah, the U.S. just wins,’” Daniels said. “But we work hard all the time. We don’t just walk in. We don’t just get off the bus thinking, ‘We’re going to beat people.’” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL

Andrej Stojakovic made 11 free throws to help craft a team-high 20 points, freshman Jeremiah Wilkinson had his second consecutive big game off the bench and Cal ran its winning streak to three with an 83-77 nonconference victory over Sacramento State on Sunday afternoon in Berkeley, Calif. Wilkinson finished with 16 points and Rytis Petraitis 13 for the Golden Bears (5-1), whose only loss this season was at Vanderbilt. Jacob Holt went for a season-high 25 points for the Hornets (1-4), who dropped their fourth straight after a season-opening win over Cal State Maritime. Seeking a fourth straight home win, Cal led by as many as 12 points in the first half and 40-33 at halftime before Sacramento State rallied. The Hornets used a 14-5 burst out of the gate following the intermission to grab a 47-45 lead. Julian Vaughns had a 3-pointer and three-point play in the run. But Cal dominated pretty much the rest of the game, taking the lead for good on a Petraitis 3-pointer with 14:50 remaining. Stojakovic, a transfer from rival Stanford, went 11-for-15 at the foul line en route to his third 20-point game of the young season. Cal outscored Sacramento State 26-17 on free throws to more than account for the margin of victory. Coming off a 23-point explosion in his first extended action of the season, Wilkinson hit five of his 10 shots Sunday. The Golden Bears outshot the Hornets 47.2 percent to 43.1 percent. Joshua Ola-Joseph contributed 10 points and six rebounds, Mady Sissoko also had 10 points and Petraitis found time for a team-high five assists. Holt complemented his 25 points with a game-high eight rebounds. He made four 3-pointers, as did Vaughns en route to 18 points, helping Sacramento State outscore Cal 30-21 from beyond the arc. EJ Neal added 16 points for the Hornets, while Emil Skytta tied for game-high assist honors with five to go with seven points. --Field Level Media

Crypto Lists, a leading website for Bitcoin and iGaming insights, proudly announces a major breakthrough and explains how the industry developed in 2024. Dublin, Ireland, Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The popular review site CryptoLists.com celebrates their latest achievement today, reaching 150 reviews of newly launched Bitcoin casinos. This remarkable milestone underscores the company's dedication to providing comprehensive and timely information for the crypto-gaming community. Markus Jalmerot, Editor-in-Chief at Crypto Lists, commented: "It's been a busier Summer than expected with 58 brands launched, but a slightly slower Autumn than usual. With Bitcoin continuously reaching all-time high, Crypto Lists expects an uptick in new brands being launched in the coming six months, with a peak in March 2025”. He continued: "The high amount of releases in the summer might be due to delayed crypto payment integration systems and anticipation for a coming bull market among entrepreneurs that target crypto users. Next year looks to be a positive one for the crypto space at large, and it will be very interesting to see how that affects the development of new crypto casinos in 2025 in terms of decentralization, anonymity, social media integration, and other features." Among the 579 Bitcoin casino reviews on the site, less than one-third are considered newly launched. Crypto Lists sets itself apart with precise and detailed tracking of casino launch dates and classifies new sites as those launched in the last 12 months. This achievement comes as the crypto gaming landscape continues to evolve. Notable changes include the emergence of new licensing jurisdictions like Anjouan and a shift toward anonymity, with some casinos forgoing traditional licenses. Crypto Lists has also enhanced its reviews by introducing a dedicated KYC section, helping players easily identify what kind of personal documentation and information is required for sign-up. Looking ahead, Crypto Lists anticipates increased acceptance of smaller cryptocurrencies in the igaming space, while an even higher percentage of traditional online casinos is expected to use payment processors to handle crypto deposits. Markus estimates that over 50% of all new online casinos released in 2024 welcome deposits with cryptocurrencies, a strong increase from just two years ago. Meme coins and native tokens for some of the fastest blockchains are on the rise when it comes to deposits and players often use the ones they find overvalued at the time of playing.

CONTACT: Markus Jalmerot mj-at-cryptolists.comStocks in Bangladesh yesterday stretched their losing streak to two days consecutively as investors grappled with the fallout of Moody's recent downgrade of the country's foreign credit rating. The US-based credit rating agency also revised its long-term economic outlook for Bangladesh from stable to negative. As a result, the market saw thin participation of investors, who cautiously traded selective shares to make short-term gains amid price fluctuations. Like the previous trading session, both the Dhaka and Chattogram bourses witnessed massive sale requests as the investment climate has remained unresponsive. The DSEX, the broad index of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), plunged by 0.98 percent from the day prior to close at 5,146 points, indicating a downtrend in the market. The other two indexes of the country's premier bourse saw the same as the DSES, which represents the performance of Shariah-compliant companies, receded by 0.18 percent to 1,149 points. Similarly, the DS30, which reflects the condition of blue-chip stocks, fell by 0.99 percent to 1,899 points. Out of the 392 issues traded at the DSE yesterday, 110 saw their prices rise while that of 228 closed lower and 54 did not see any movement. The DSE's daily turnover, which indicates the collective value of shares traded, stood at Tk 302 crore, down 16.97 percent compared to the previous day. The banking sector dominated the turnover chart, accounting for 17.84 percent. Block trades, meaning high-volume securities transactions that are privately negotiated and executed outside the open market, contributed another 4.6 percent to the turnover. NRB Bank Limited was the most-traded stock, registering turnover of Tk 15.0 crore. All the sectors that comprise companies with high market capitalisation, which refers to the value of their outstanding shares, posted negative performances, according to BRAC EPL Stock Brokerage. The pharmaceuticals sector experienced the largest loss of 1.79 percent followed by Food and Allied (0.76 percent), banking (0.54 percent), non-bank financial institutions (0.52 percent), telecommunication (0.37 percent), engineering (0.26 percent), and fuel and power (0.14 percent). Sector-wise, information technology, services and real estate, and general insurance were the three that closed in positive territory while ceramics, pharmaceuticals, and textiles became the top three that closed in negative territory. At the Chittagong Stock Exchange (CES), the CSE All-Share Price Index (CASPI) saw a similar trend as it slipped by 1.13 percent to close at 14,419 points. At the CSE, shares of companies like Square Pharmaceuticals, BRAC Bank, BAT Bangladesh, Renata, Islami Bank, Eastern Bank, Robi Axiata, Alif Industries, Al-Arafah Islami Bank and Jamuna Bank suffered losses. Drug maker Square Pharmaceuticals alone contributed 26.56 points to the fall. Investors showed the most interest in shares of Beximco Pharmaceuticals, National Bank, Prime Bank, Genex Infosys, BSRM, Shahjalal Islami Bank, Bangladesh Submarine Cables, Al-Haj Textile, Orion Pharma and Olympic Industries. However, none of these companies saw doubt-digit growth in their share values, with Beximco Pharmaceuticals gaining the most by adding only 1.52 points.
