Sweet 16: Moore off to strong start at Tabor

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:52:06 GMT

Jeff Moore wasn’t completely sure what to expect when he tossed his name in the ring for the vacant Tabor Academy head football coaching job.It didn’t take long for Moore to be convinced the Marion-based prep school was just what he was looking for.Moore was offered and accepted the job in February. Two weeks into his first season, it certainly appears as though Tabor landed the right candidate. The Seawolves have jumped out to a quick 2-0 record, the mark all the more impressive considering Tabor hasn’t had a winning season (12-28) since joining the Independent School League in 2017.“There were a couple factors that came into me considering Tabor,” said Moore, who was an assistant at UMass last year. “My wife (Brittany) and I visited the school and it was evident that the students and faculty really enjoyed being there. Another reason was my wife and I are from Norton and we would only be 35 minutes away from our families.“Throughout the interview process, Tabor l...

Tim Wakefield, who revived his career and Red Sox trophy case with knuckleball, has died at 57

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:52:06 GMT

BOSTON (AP) — Tim Wakefield, the knuckleballing workhorse of the Red Sox pitching staff who bounced back after giving up a season-ending home run to the Yankees in the 2003 playoffs to help Boston win its curse-busting World Series title the following year, has died. He was 57.The Red Sox announced his death in a statement Sunday. Wakefield had brain cancer, according to ex-teammate Curt Schilling, who outed the illness on a podcast last week — drawing an outpouring of support for Wakefield. The Red Sox confirmed an illness at the time but did not elaborate, saying Wakefield had requested privacy.Drafted by the Pirates as a first baseman who set home run records in college, Wakefield converted to a pitcher after mastering the knuckleball in the minor leagues. Relying on the old-timey pitch that had largely fallen into disuse, he went on to win 200 major league games, including 186 with the Red Sox — behind only Cy Young and Roger Clemens in franchise history.But it was his role in t...

It isn’t just Taylor Swift: Every NFL team has a celebrity fan

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:52:06 GMT

(NEXSTAR) - It’s been a week since Taylor Swift seemingly took the sports world by storm when she attended the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Chicago Bears, sitting alongside Travis Kelce’s mother, invigorating rumors that the pop star and NFL tight end are dating.While Swift appears to be the Chiefs new biggest fan - unless you count the Swifties that will now be tuning in Sunday night when the Chiefs take on the New York Jets in a game she is again expected to attend - she is hardly the first celebrity spotted rooting for an NFL team.Before Swift, Paul Rudd was arguably considered the biggest celebrity rooting for the Chiefs. He even offered a “kegger [party] at mom’s” after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl earlier this year. It isn’t just the Chiefs. Every NFL team has a star supporter.One of Rudd’s “Wet Hot American Summer” co-stars, Bradley Cooper, was at the Super Bowl in February, cheering for another team: the Philadelphia Eagles.

Student loan payments are back after three years: What to know

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:52:06 GMT

(The Hill) - Student loan payments officially resume on Sunday after borrowers were let off the hook for more than three years by a pause initiated during the economic turmoil of the coronavirus pandemic.Despite continued pushback from advocates and concerns about a government shutdown, the Biden administration is turning back on all student loan accounts, and more than 28 million borrowers now have to deal with repayments. “It's a sad day for student loan borrowers and for the country that student loans have to come back on, especially with the threat of a looming government shutdown, potentially on the same day. It's just wild,” Natalia Abrams, president and founder of the Student Debt Crisis Center, said earlier this week. Who qualifies for $0 student loan payments? Back in July, a Life and My Finances survey found half of borrowers say they don’t make enough to afford their student loan payments, while only 22 percent at the time had a plan on how to make their payments.S...
