West Fargo Sheyenne stymies Fargo Shanley to return to Class A volleyball championshipNBC color commentator Cris Collinsworth is blocking out the haters - quite literally - amidst growing calls for his firing . While making an appearance on the latest episode of ‘The Dan Patrick Show,’ Collinsworth revealed that he’s learned to stop checking social media following ‘Sunday Night Football’ games that he covers. “Negative. No, no, no - I do not,” the 65-year-old asserted. “Well, of course [I used to]. When I first got on social media, I had four followers. And my kids told me that I had to sign up, so I signed up. “After the game, I was sitting there, and I had four people. So, I said hello to all of them. I went back on, ‘Hey, how you guys doing?’ I thought that’s what social media was. I had no idea. And they’re like, ‘Dad, no.’ ‘You just get on.’ And then they started showing me how to do it.” NFL makes cryptic statement as fans fear Netflix technical issues on Christmas Day Aaron Rodgers faces bleak New York Jets reality as Davante Adams problem highlighted It didn’t take long for Collinsworth to recognize the dangers of social media. While the majority of his online interactions have been positive, the former NFL wide receiver conceded that every so often a rude exchange leaves a sour taste in his mouth. “The thing that I’ve found in our business is that generally, people are very, very nice,” he added. “We travel all over the country, we go in, they want to talk to you... But it’s still that one in 50 that goes, ‘Hey, aren’t you Cris Collinsworth?’ And I go, ‘Yeah.’ And, generally, the first question is: ‘Why do you hate the...’ whatever their favorite team is. Then, it’s something along the lines of, ‘Honestly, I think you suck.’ Follow us on X for the best and latest in sports news “And it hits you like a ton of bricks because you’re so used to people being so nice and coming up and being friendly and saying nice things. And the rest of the day, you’re walking around, kicking the can down the road; you’re like all bummed out.” Over the weekend, Collinsworth received a flurry of harsh comments on the heels of the Cowboys’ 26-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . On more than one occasion, the longtime NBC host attempted his best rendition of Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott's signature “Here we goooo” call - prompting many viewers to voice their displeasure on social media. “Please fire Collinsworth we can’t take it anymore. I’ve had this game muted since the 1st quarter,” one X user wrote, with another adding: “@SNFonNBC please for the love of --- fire Chris Collinsworth. He is so bad, I have this game muted because he won’t stfu. Majority of Americans agree...” A third asked, “Can we fire Collinsworth as viewers? How did he ever get this gig?” Collinsworth, to his credit, has achieved no shortage of success over a decorated broadcasting career that’s spanned nearly four decades. Since first joining HBO's ‘Inside the NFL’ as a reporter back in 1989, he’s gone on to win 17 Sports Emmy Awards while additionally being inducted into the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame. **Want to watch more live sports?

Irish premier Simon Harris has said Fine Gael will gain seats in the General Election despite a further fragmentation of Irish politics. Fine Gael won 35 seats in the 2020 election, but 18 of those TDs did not seek re-election in Friday’s poll. An exit poll puts the party’s support at 21%, a fraction of a percentage behind the main opposition party Sinn Fein. Mr Harris, the outgoing Taoiseach, was elected with 16,869 first preference votes, well above the quota. He celebrated with his wife Caoimhe, his parents Bart and Mary, his sister Gemma and his political team at the count centre in Greystones, Co Wicklow. Ahead of his re-election, Mr Harris told reporters he was “cautiously optimistic” about the election result and said it was “clear that my party will gain seats”. “It’s also clear that Fine Gael will top the poll in at least 10 constituencies, many more than we did the last time, that we will gain seats in constituencies where we haven’t had seats in many years, like Tipperary South and Waterford, and that we will add second seats in other constituencies as well,” he said. “I think the people of Ireland have now spoken. We now have to work out exactly what they have said, and that is going to take a little bit of time.” In one of the five consecutive broadcast media rounds he did from the Greystones count centre, he said there were a lot of areas where there were “straight shoot-outs” between Fianna Fail and Fine Gael for final seats. He described the Sinn Fein vote as “pretty significantly down”, the Fianna Fail vote as “marginally down” and the Fine Gael vote as “static” compared with its 2020 vote. He said it was “a very close, a very competitive election” and that “we haven’t seen a Sinn Fein surge or anything like it”. He said: “It was predicted by many that I would become the Taoiseach for a brief period of time, take over from Leo Varadkar, and then have to rebuild my party from the opposition benches as Sinn Fein led a government. “We don’t know what’s going to happen on government formation yet, but that is now looking less likely than it was.” He acknowledged that it was “a very difficult day” for the Green Party and paid tribute to their work in the coalition government, alongside his party and Fianna Fail. “Definitely, politics in Ireland has gotten much more fragmented,” he said. Fine Gael minister Helen McEntee said that her party’s campaign had been “positive”. “The feeling on the doors was very much that people were relatively happy with the government,” she said on RTE Radio. “It will come down to the last seats and it will come down to transfers,” she said of the final result, adding that Fianna Fail and Fine Gael were performing better than the exit poll estimated.Harris dismisses ‘project fear’ approach to Sinn Fein

Embiid scores 31 in triumphant NBA return for 76ers

President Joe Biden has granted a pardon to his son, Hunter Biden , who was facing sentencing for two criminal cases. The decision marks an unprecedented reversal, as President Biden had previously—and repeatedly—promised not to use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. “Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” the 82-year-old stated on Sunday, Dec. 1. “I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice,” Biden added. “I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.” Hunter, 54, had been facing potential years in federal prison due to multiple charges related to gun possession and tax fraud. The pardon, described as a “full and unconditional pardon” in the executive grant of clemency, has sparked backlash, particularly from the GOP. President-elect Donald Trump called the decision “an abuse and miscarriage of justice.” As news of Biden’s pardon unfolds, here’s a look back at Trump’s own pardons from his first presidential term and more, below. What Is a Pardon? A federal pardon is a power granted to the president of the United States under Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. This clemency power allows the president to pardon all federal criminal offenses, except those related to impeachment. Acts of clemency encompass amnesty, reprieves, commutations, and pardons—the most extensive form of relief. A full pardon absolves the individual from punishment and reinstates their civil rights, such as the right to vote, run for office, and serve on a jury. How Many Pardons Did Trump Issue in His First Term? During his four years in the White House, from January 20, 2017, to January 20, 2021, Trump issued a total of 237 acts of clemency, which included 143 pardons and 94 commutations. Who Did Trump Pardon? Some of Trump’s most high-profile pardons include: Steve Bannon Lil Wayne Kodak Black Jack Johnson Michael Flynn George Papadopoulos Roger Stone Albert Pirro Paul Manafort Charles Kushner The full list of individuals pardoned by Trump can be found on the Department of Justice website here . Who’s Requesting Pardons for Trump’s Second Term? Some of the individuals requesting pardons for Trump’s second term include: Proud Boys leader Joseph Biggs: Currently serving a prison sentence after being convicted of seditious conspiracy for his involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot. Netflix’s Tiger King star Joe Exotic: Sentenced to 21 years in prison for his role in a murder-for-hire plot against Carole Baskin and charges of animal abuse. Former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder: Found guilty of leading a racketeering conspiracy and accepting $60 million in bribes connected to FirstEnergy Corp., resulting in a 20-year prison sentence. TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley : Sentenced in November 2022 after being convicted of defrauding community banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans, and are both serving a combined 19-year sentence. Rapper Boosie Badazz : Arrested during a traffic stop for possession of a firearm shortly before performing in San Diego, California. The original case was dismissed on July 12, but new charges—including drug dealing—were brought against him on July 19, linked to the initial case.Human Rights Watch on Monday that Ethiopian authorities immediately reverse the suspension of three human rights organizations–the Centre for the Advancement of Rights and Democracy (CARD), the Association for Human Rights in Ethiopia (AHRE), and Lawyers for Human Rights in Ethiopia (LHR)–so that they can freely operate. The respective organizations have been served suspension letters by the Ethiopian Authority for Civil Society Organizations since November 14, which has seen their activities grind to a halt on the basis that the organizations were politically biased and undermining the country’s national interest. LHR’s operations were for allegedly “failing to maintain political neutrality, acting beyond its designated purpose, and engaging in actions detrimental to the country’s interests and public welfare,” while CARD’s operations were suspended on for a “lack of political neutrality” and for engaging in “activities deemed contrary to the interests of the country.” Each organization has categorically denied the allegations and expressed a commitment to the suspension. One course of objection is that the Authority did not follow the correct procedures under the by failing to provide written notice that they were breaching the law.

The actions of the Ethiopian Authority for Civil Society Organizations mark a concerning and lack of accountability in Ethiopia amidst the ongoing conflicts in the Tigray, Amhara, and Oromia regions. Deputy Africa Director Laetitia Bader says, “[t]he government’s latest assault shows that Ethiopia remains among the most inhospitable places to criticize government actions and promote human rights.” HRW has called for an immediate reversal of the organization’s suspensions and for the international community to actively reject the government’s escalating crackdown on fundamental human rights.
