Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:05:17 GMT

Armani Williams is unlike anyone else in the world of NASCAR, where speed is the name of the game. For Armani, the racetrack is more than a passion; it’s his happy place, fulfilling a lifelong dream that started in childhood. “I say more of a happy place, because, you know, it’s something I’ve always dreamed of as of being a kid was to be a race car driver so, just being able to get in the car, strap those belts, putting the helmet on and then let’s get ready to go,” expressed Armani. Armani proudly embraces his unique position in the sport as the first diagnosed driver with autism, a condition that has never held him back from pursuing his love for racing. “People with autism, including myself, we have this special ability to have a laser-light focus on things that catch your interest,” explained Armani. “So, when it comes to me being in a race car, because everything happens so fast, you gotta have great levels of concentratio...

LONDON — A senior U.K. civil servant who worked closely with Boris Johnson turned on WhatsApp’s controversial disappearing messages function in a group used by government figures, weeks before the then-prime minister announced a public inquiry into the coronavirus pandemic.

Column: Dropped passes. Missed tackles. Bad penalties. Costly turnovers. Chicago Bears fall flat in another prime-time blowout.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:05:17 GMT

Over the next several days, the Chicago Bears will spend significant time looking for answers, trying to better explain and interpret all that went haywire Sunday at SoFi Stadium. They will study film, engage in meetings and push for as many corrections and fixes as possible. But in the process, they will also look in the mirror and see what the rest of the football world witnessed on the “Sunday Night Football” stage in Week 8, which is an inconsistent and error-prone team that couldn’t stay competitive and was throttled from start to finish by the Los Angeles Chargers.Sunday’s final score was 30-13. But it really wasn’t that close with the Chargers taking the lead for good midway through the first quarter, extending their advantage to 17 points by halftime and coasting through the second half.Inside a glum visitor’s locker room, the Bears were again left to process their disappointment. It wasn’t just that they suffered their sixth loss in...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:05:17 GMT

The Ravens made life more difficult than it needed to be but came away from Arizona with an unsightly 31-24 win thanks to red zone efficiency, a pair of interceptions and a dominant performance by nose tackle Michael Pierce.Here are five things we learned from the game.The Ravens reverted to sloppier ways, but they’re in the top tier of a messy leagueThe Ravens began their day with an illegal contact penalty that kept the Cardinals moving toward an opening touchdown. They ended it with their guts churning thanks to Nelson Agholor’s unsuccessful effort to pull in an onside kick.In between those anxious moments, they did plenty to nurture a 1-6 foe’s hopes for an upset. An offense that moved freely a week earlier in demolishing the Detroit Lions, 38-6, spent much of the afternoon driving tentatively.It would be overstating to say the Ravens courted disaster. Their defense — well, Pierce the one-man wall to be more precise — smothered the Cardinals on a pa...
