Bailey Zappe encouraged by TDs in Patriots QB’s best practice of training camp

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:19:18 GMT

FOXBORO — For all the talk about a Patriots quarterback competition this offseason, the hierarchy of passers through four days of training camp couldn’t be clearer.Mac Jones is the top quarterback. He takes the first reps in all team drills. He works with the starting offensive line. The top skill players surround him.Then second-year pro Bailey Zappe takes the next set of reps as the backup while Trace McSorely leads rookies and scout-team players. If that’s ever going to change, then Zappe needs to string together more practices like Sunday’s. Zappe did throw his first interception of training camp when he was picked off by defensive back Jalen Mills on a target to tight end Scotty Washington, but he also went 11-of-13 with four of the better passes thrown so far through four practices.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots extra points: Ezekiel Elliott coveted by Pats playmaker New England Patriots | Patriots training camp Day 5: Matt Judon lim...

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — A British man was freed immediately despite a Cyprus court sentencing him on Monday to two years in prison for killing his wife in their retirement home because he wanted to spare her the pain from her illness. Defense lawyer Nicoletta Charalambidou told The Associated Press that Cyprus Prisons Department authorities tabulated the time 76-year-old David Hunter had already spent in custody since the December, 2021, killing and decided to release him immediately. The court had earlier this month convicted Hunter of manslaughter after accepting testimony that his decision to suffocate his wife Janice was a made on the spur of the moment because he could no longer stand seeing her weeping in pain from a type of blood cancer she feared would develop into full-blown leukemia. State prosecutor Andreas Hadjikyrou told The Associated Press that the court took into account that Hunter, 76, acted “out of love” to save his wife. She was suffering from a blood ailment when...

KHAR, Pakistan (AP) — Hundreds of mourners attended funerals in Pakistan on Monday after a suicide bombing killed at least 54 people at an election rally for a pro-Taliban cleric, carrying caskets draped in colorful cloths to burial sites in the hills.No one immediately claimed responsibility for Sunday’s bombing in Bajur that killed at least five children and wounded nearly 200 people.The attack appeared to reflect divisions between Islamist groups, which have a strong presence in the district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province that borders Afghanistan. It targeted the Jamiat Ulema Islam party, which has ties to the Afghan and Pakistani Taliban.At least 1,000 people, according to police, were crowded into a tent near a market for the rally ahead of fall elections.“People were chanting God is Great as the leaders arrived,” said Khan Mohammad, a local resident who said he was standing outside the tent, “and that was when I heard the deafening sound of the bomb.” Mohammad said...

Myanmar’s military-led government extends state of emergency, forcing delay in promised election

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:19:18 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — Myanmar’s military-controlled government has extended the state of emergency it imposed when the army seized power from an elected government 2 1/2 years ago, state-run media said Monday, forcing a further delay in elections it promised when it took over. MRTV television said the National Defense and Security Council met Monday in the capital, Naypyitaw, and extended the state of emergency for another six months starting Tuesday because time is needed to prepare for the elections. The NDSC is nominally a constitutional government body, but in practice is controlled by the military.The announcement amounted to an admission that the army does not exercise enough control to stage the polls and has failed to subdue widespread opposition to military rule, which includes increasingly challenging armed resistance as well as nonviolent protests and civil disobedience, despite the army having a huge advantage in manpower and weapons.The state of emergency was declared when tro...

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A cargo ship carrying thousands of cars that has been burning on the North Sea for nearly a week was towed Monday to a new location further from the Dutch coast to wait for salvage crews to decide their next steps, the government said.The Fremantle Highway arrived earlier than expected at an anchorage 16 kilometers (10 miles) north of the Dutch islands of Schiermonnikoog and Ameland, thanks to favorable currents, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management said.A salvage team is planning to board the burning vessel “as soon as possible” to carry out an inspection, the ministry added.The ship carrying 3,783 new vehicles, including 498 electric vehicles, from Germany’s Bremerhaven to Singapore has been burning since Tuesday. Firefighters decided not to douse the flames with water for fear of making the nearly 200-meter (656-foot) ship unstable as it floats close to North Sea shipping lanes and a world-renowned migratory bird habitat.A photo ...
