Time is running out. Quickly. It may already have. Sloppy early and overwhelmed late, the Falcons were run over by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second half of a 41-17 loss on Sunday that dropped Atlanta to 1-4 and left coach Dan Quinn scrambling for answers. “Truth is, the second half clearly we missed the standard that we uphold for one another today,” Quinn said. “We completely missed our mark....
Atlanta let an early double-digit lead slip away before holding on at the Los Angeles Coliseum, setting up a showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles in next week’s NFC divisional round. The Falcons, who famously blew a 28-3 in last season’s Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots, jumped out to a 13-0 lead as Devonta Freeman scored early in the second quarter with some help from center Alex Mack....
According to NFL.com, owner Arthur Blank has an “optimistic tone,” despite Atlanta’s blowout loss to Houston last week. The 53-32 rout dropped the Falcons to 1-4. The report noted, according to sources familiar with the situation, Blank wants to see progress over the next couple of weeks before the team’s Week 9 bye “or changes could come,” with the fifth-year coach as one of them. Per the report: Quinn, who is also serving as Atlanta’s defensive coordinator, is working with a new coaching staff this season....
Team owner Arthur Blank instead issued a press release Friday (via NFL.com) in which he preached patience with and confidence in continuity with the pair, despite the Falcons’ seven losses in their final nine games and disappointing 8-8 record: “My commitment to our fans is to put the best possible product on the field each year. No one is satisfied with an 8-8 record, but I am very pleased with the direction of our team under the leadership of Dan Quinn and confident in his long-term approach....
According to Atlanta general manager Thomas Dimitroff, the tag was applied just to keep the avenues open to signing Grady to a long-term extension. “As we have said since the end of the season, getting a deal done with Grady is our priority,” Dimitroff said. “Applying the franchise tag to him does not change that in any way. Our aim is for Grady to be an integral part of our plan for many years to come and this allows us to extend our negotiating window....
If all this sounds terribly silly, it’s for a good reason. “Moonlight” attempts to drape a cop show over an Anne Rice-style gothic framework, and totally fails. It succeeds with laughs, though. It is, hands down, the funniest show of the new fall season. All the humor is unintentional, but it’s hard to totally pan a show that packs as many gut-busting moments as “Moonlight,” whether it means to or not....
8 Mile Eminem makes his screen debut in this semiautobiographical tale of a young man struggling to rap his way out of a damaged background in Detroit.

Confidential”) at the helm, a breakthrough performance from Brittany Murphy as the hero’s girlfriend, and Kim Basinger as his trailer-trash mom, the emphasis is on authenticity....
The following list will present sound strategies for every mini game. There are over twenty in all, though some of them are compacted into one entry because a similar strategy is effective for several races and team modes. 13 Races The race modes come in many different forms, but one constant rule ensures survival: never try to be in front or in the crowd. Some races require an element of trial and error, so it is better to leave people in front to figure out the right path and follow behind....
Fall Guys is so popular in fact that it is (at the time of this writing) in the top 5 games with the most viewers on Twitch, pushing Minecraft to number 5 and booting Call of Duty and its Warzone battle royale mode to the number 6 spot. That popularity has of course had some unintended side-effects, as the game ended up having some rather large server-troubles over the weekend due to the unexpected number of players....
Fortunately, it doesn’t require anything too complicated. All players need to do is earn ten Crowns and the costume is theirs. Fall Guys players can even choose to only wear the top half of the costume and have Godzilla run around in striped pants or a rainbow tutu, as demonstrated in a video put out on Twitter. RELATED: Fall Guys Survey Reveals Players’ Favorite Rounds While this isn’t Fall Guys’ first crossover costume (last month it received a costume based on Sonic the Hedgehog), it speaks volumes of the game’s popularity that Mediatonic managed to land a collaboration involving arguably the most iconic movie monster of all time....
According to the New York Times, Biden signed 17 executive orders, memorandums and proclamations on his first day in office. Such actions included requiring masks to be worn on all federal property and by all federal employees, preventing undocumented immigrants from being left out of the census count, stopping the construction of the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and re-entering the Paris climate accord. One of the issues Biden did not address with his executive actions is stimulus checks....

Citizens in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson were said to have voted overwhelmingly in favor of joining—results the U.S. State Department and democracy advocates described as a “sham.” However, following Putin’s decree and signing on September 30, 2022, of annexation documents, there is still dispute over just how much of these regions Russian forces hold on to. The Claim Multiple tweets sent ahead of Putin’s decree to recognize the annexation of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson, on September 30 claim that Russia does not have full control over the regions it wants to bring under its control....
The Claim A tweet with more than 11,000 likes at the time of writing stated that Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody treatment for COVID-19, known as REGEN-COV, costs the U.S. government $2,100 per dose. Trial lawyer Max Kennerly flagged the cost of REGEN-COV doses when replying to tweets from former congressman Allen West, who is running to be Texas governor. West tweeted about the treatment after receiving it and wrote: “I can attest that, after this experience, I am even more dedicated to fighting against vaccine mandates....

An Andrews ad claims an editorial described Lautenberg as “doing nothing” in the midst of rising oil and food prices. The editorial actually hauls the entire New Jersey congressional delegation –including Andrews–on the carpet for not bringing enough of New Jersey residents’ tax dollars back to the state. The same Andrews ad accuses Lautenberg of hiding “his profits from the millions he invested in Big Oil.” But Lautenberg’s holdings in energy and natural resources, according to his most recent Senate disclosure form, account for less than 1 percent of his multimillion-dollar fortune....
