SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Even when Penn State quarterback Drew Allar gets some praise, it's usually a backhanded compliment. They say he's a good game manager and stays within himself, or that he doesn't try to do too much. They mention he might not be flashy, but he gives the team a chance to win. And here's the thing about Penn State since Allar stepped under center: The Nittany Lions have won games. A lot of them. Sometimes that's hard to remember considering the lukewarm reception he often gets from fans. "I get it — we have a really passionate fan base and they're a huge part of our success," Allar said Sunday at College Football Playoff quarterfinals media day. "For us, we always want to go out there every drive and end with a touchdown, so when we don't do that, there's nobody more frustrated than us." The polarizing Allar is having a solid season by just about any standard, completing more than 68% of his passes for 3,021 yards, 21 touchdowns and seven interceptions while leading the sixth-seeded Nittany Lions to a 12-2 record and a spot in the Fiesta Bowl for Tuesday's game against No. 3 seed Boise State. But in a college football world filled with high-scoring, explosive offenses, Allar's no-frills performances often are the object of ire. The Penn State offense is a run-first bunch, led by the talented combo of Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen. "If we had a nickel for every time there was a Monday morning quarterback saying some BS stuff, we'd all be pretty rich," offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki said. "I think part of being a quarterback, especially at Penn State but really anywhere, is how you respond to and manage criticism." The 20-year-old Allar has made strides in that department after a trying 2023 season that finished with a 10-3 record. He says that's largely because once fall camp started back in August, he logged off the social media platform X. Allar said negative online experiences wore on him last year, and his phone number was leaked a few times, which added to the stress. He finally realized that controlling outside narratives was impossible, so the best course of action was to eliminate a needless distraction. "I've been more mentally free, as much as that sounds crazy," Allar said. "I think that's been a huge difference for me this year." The biggest criticism of Allar — and really Penn State as a whole during the 11-year James Franklin era — is that he isn't capable of winning the big games. He's 0-2 against rival Ohio State and threw a late interception against Oregon in the Big Ten title game earlier this month, which sealed the Ducks' 45-37 victory. He wasn't great in the CFP's first round, either, completing just 13 of 22 passes for 127 yards as Penn State muscled past SMU 38-10 on a cold, blustery day to advance to the Fiesta Bowl. But the quarterback is confident a better performance — aided by a game that will be played in comfortable temperatures in a domed stadium — is coming. "For me, I just have to execute those (easy) throws early in the game and get our guys into rhythm," Allar said. "Get them involved early as much as I can and that allows us to stay on the field longer, call more plays and open up our offense more. That will help us a ton, building the momentum throughout the game." Allar might be a favorite punching bag for a section of the Penn State fan base, but that's not the case in his own locker room. Star tight end Tyler Warren praised his quarterback's ability to avoid sacks, saying that the 6-foot-5, 238-pounder brings a toughness that resonates with teammates. "He's a football player," Warren said. "He plays quarterback, but when you watch him play and the energy he brings and the way he runs the ball, he's just a football player and that fires up our offense." Now Allar and Penn State have a chance to silence critics who say that the Nittany Lions don't show up in big games. Not that he's worried about what other people think. "I think it's a skill at the end of the day — blocking out the outside noise," Allar said. "Focusing on you and the process and being honest with yourself, both good and bad."

Tampa Bay is scheduled to play 13 of its first 16 games at home and 47 of 59 through May 28, then play 69 of its last 103 games on the road. The Rays are home for eight of 25 games in July and eight of 26 in August. A series scheduled at the Los Angeles Angels from April 7-9 will instead be played at Tampa, Florida, from April 8-10, MLB said Monday. The second series between the teams will be played at Anaheim, California, from Aug. 4-6 instead of at St. Petersburg, Florida, from Aug. 5-7. Minnesota's first series against the Rays will be played at Steinbrenner Field from May 26-28 and the Twins' second will be at Target Field in Minneapolis from July 4-6. The Class A Tampa Tarpons, Steinbrenner Field's usual team, had six home postponements, two cancellations and four suspended games this year from June 21 through their season finale on Sept. 8. Tampa Bay is now scheduled to play its first six games at home against Colorado and Pittsburgh, go to Texas for a three-game series, then return for a 13-game homestand against the Angels, Atlanta, Boston and the New York Yankees. Tropicana Field, the Rays' home since the team started play in 1998, was heavily damaged by Hurricane Milton on Oct. 9, with most of its fabric roof shredded. The Rays cannot return to the Trop until 2026 at the earliest, if at all. AP MLB: https://apnews.com/

These holiday gifts change the game when building fires, printing photos, watching birds and moreSir Cliff Richard wants to bring out his own range of gravy. The 84-year-old singer is famed amongst his loved ones for his “custard-thick” festive sauce, which features two onions fried in olive oil, two chicken, lamb, vegetable and beef stock cubes, as well as boiling water. Cliff recently told My Weekly magazine of his gravy: “Then I add teriyaki sauce, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. “I didn’t read it anywhere, I just made up things I like to taste.” And because of its popularity, the ‘Mistletoe and Wine’ hitmaker would love to see his gravy stocked in supermarkets. He said: “I’m still waiting for some company to offer me a deal! “Paul Newman has his name on all sorts of mayonnaise and salad dressings and he did it for charity. “I’m available... Can you imagine? ‘Cliff Richard’s gravy – probably the greatest gravy in the world.’ “ Cliff serves up his gravy, along with the rest of Christmas dinner, in sunnier climes, spending the 2023 festive season at his house in Barbados and the previous year in Florida. He said: “Warm weather appeals to me and sometimes ‘White Christmas’ comes on. You’re looking out of the window thinking, ‘It’s 98 degrees. It’s not going to happen.’ “ The ‘Saviour's Day’ hitmaker previously admitted he thinks it is “weird” that so many people associate him with Christmas, but he’s happy to make people happy over the festive season. He told Women’s Weekly magazine: “It’s weird, because contrary to popular belief, I do not own Christmas, nor have all my hits been Christmas tracks. “But if people want to think of me at Christmas? Well, I’ll take that thank you. “Christmas is a family time, so if I help to bring warmth to others then I’m happy.”

The world's most climate-imperilled nations stormed out of consultations in protest at the deadlocked UN COP29 conference Saturday, as simmering tensions over a hard-fought finance deal erupted into the open. Diplomats from small island nations threatened by rising seas and impoverished African states angrily filed out of a meeting with summit hosts Azerbaijan over a final deal being thrashed out in a Baku sports stadium. "We came here to this COP for a fair deal. We feel that we haven't been heard," said Cedric Schuster, the Samoan chairman of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS). An unpublished version of the final text circulating in Baku, and seen by AFP, proposes that rich nations raise to $300 billion a year by 2035 their commitment to poorer countries to fight climate change. It is up from $100 billion now provided by wealthy nations under a commitment set to expire. COP29 hosts Azerbaijan intended to put a final draft before 198 nations for adoption or rejection on Saturday evening, a full day after the marathon summit officially ended. Sierra Leone's climate minister Jiwoh Abdulai, whose country is among the world's poorest, said the draft was "effectively a suicide pact for the rest of the world". In a statement, Schuster said AOSIS and the group of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) have found themselves "continuously insulted by the lack of inclusion" at COP29. Schuster said that without an inclusive process, "it becomes very difficult for us to continue our involvement here at COP29". But negotiators from AOSIS, the LDCs and wealthy nations met later with the COP29 presidency. "We're doing our utmost to build bridges with literally everyone," EU climate commissioner Wopke Hoekstra said in a statement. "It is not easy," he said. "There is no alternative to do whatever we can." An earlier offer from rich nations of $250 billion was slammed as offensively low by developing countries, which have demanded much higher sums to build resilience against climate change and cut emissions. UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said the revised offer of $300 billion was "a significant scaling up" of the existing pledge by developed nations, which also count the United States, EU and Japan among their ranks. Harried diplomats ran to-and-fro in the stadium near the Caspian Sea searching for common ground. "Hopefully this is the storm before the calm," said US climate envoy John Podesta in the corridors as somebody shouted "shame" in his direction. Panama's negotiator, Juan Carlos Monterrey Gomez, said delegates could not go home without a deal and repeat the failure of COP15 in Copenhagen in 2009. "I'm sad, I'm tired, I'm disheartened, I'm hungry, I'm sleep-deprived, but there is a tiny ray of optimism within me because this cannot become a new Copenhagen," he told reporters. Wealthy nations say it is politically unrealistic to expect more in direct government funding. Donald Trump, a sceptic of both climate change and foreign assistance, returns to the White House in January and a number of other Western countries have seen right-wing backlashes against the green agenda. The draft deal posits a larger overall target of $1.3 trillion per year to cope with rising temperatures and disasters, but most would come from private sources. Ali Mohamed, the Kenyan chair of the African Group of Negotiators, told AFP: "No deal is better than a bad deal." South African environment minister Dion George, however, said: "I think being ambitious at this point is not going to be very useful." "What we are not up for is going backwards or standing still," he said. "We might as well just have stayed at home then." A coalition of more than 300 activist groups accused historic polluters most responsible for climate change of skirting their obligation, and urged developing nations to stand firm. A group of developing countries had demanded at least $500 billion, with some saying that increases were less than met the eye due to inflation. Experts commissioned by the United Nations to assess the needs of developing countries said $250 billion was "too low" and by 2035 rich nations should be providing at least $390 billion. The US and EU have wanted newly wealthy emerging economies like China -- the world's largest emitter -- to chip in. China, which remains classified as a developing nation under the UN framework, provides climate assistance but wants to keep doing so on its own voluntary terms. The EU and other countries have also tussled with Saudi Arabia over including strong language on moving away from fossil fuels, which negotiators say the oil-producing country has resisted. "We will not allow the most vulnerable, especially the small island states, to be ripped off by the new, few rich fossil fuel emitters," said German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. bur-np-sct-lth/givIt's Dana Holgorsen's 'focus on execution' that's impressing Matt Rhule — not just his play callsFrank Seravalli and former NHL goaltender Carter Hutton discuss why veteran goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury could be a valuable member on Canada’s 4 Nations Face-Off roster. Frank Seravalli: So, if you’re talking about experience and I don’t know why he hasn’t been mentioned more, but why wouldn’t Team Canada consider someone like Marc-Andre Fleury as the third guy? Maybe he can help talk to these guys in between games. He keeps everything light. He’s really well-liked and God forbid the wheels fall off with the two guys that you pick. Would anyone feel uncomfortable putting Marc-Andre Fleury in the net? Carter Hutton: No, I sure wouldn’t, Frank. And I brought that up before, I thought Marc-Andre Fleury and Cam Talbot were like my number three. I think for the longest time it’s been Binnington, Skinner and Hill, those were our three guys because of recent success. But, Fleury is a guy who’s going to make the room light practice, he’s going to be able to manage these moments. He is a guy that I think anyone across Canada would be fine if it was the final game and someone got hurt or he had to go in and he was your guy you’d be totally fine with it. Carter Hutton: I also like Cam Talbot because I know he doesn’t have the same resume as him, but at this point, Cam Talbot has the capacity to go in there and play and be in those situations. So those are two guys I look for in that number three situation and they’re guys that if they aren’t starting they’re not going to be undermining anyone, they’re going to be there for the benefit of the team and do whatever they can to try to help this team win.
