payout on roulette SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — De'Vondre Campbell's decision to quit on his team in the middle of a game overshadowed the bigger issues for the San Francisco 49ers. An offense that was one of the most dynamic in the NFL during a run to the Super Bowl last season has been just ordinary for most of 2024 and was downright bad in a 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night that just about ended San Francisco's playoff hopes.

"It was quite strange getting dragged into a conversation I didn’t necessarily sign on to be a part of" The Boys actor Antony Starr doesn’t think his character in the show, Homelander, is like Donald Trump . READ MORE: ‘The Boys’ season four review: sweary supes battle electoral dysfunction Season four of Prime Video’s hit show featured some imagery that many compared to Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ campaign and a moment where the character took over America. Starr, however, has dismissed the comparisons calling them “low-hanging fruit” (via Entertainment Weekly ). “Of course, people could make the comparison, and they did. So it was quite strange getting dragged into a conversation I didn’t necessarily sign on to be a part of,” he explained. “I didn’t want the character to be a moustache-twirling villain. It had to be a real person built from the ground up. The other thing is, I really don’t like using the word ‘psychopath.’ I think it’s such a reductive term.” Show runner Eric Kriple meanwhile, said the show reflects social realities as much as many other popular ones. He said: “We’re making this fun-house mirror of what’s going on in culture as much as any show since Veep or The West Wing . It makes me nervous to be in similar company, but we are!” Going back to Homelander, Starr added: “People hate the character, love to hate the character, and then there’s this weird thing where they empathise with the character. It’s really interesting meeting fans, which I do quite a lot. They do really feel like, ‘What the fuck? What’s wrong with me? I love Homelander, but he’s so bad.’ I take that as a signal that we’re going in the right direction, that it’s a bit more challenging for people than just spoon-feeding them.” Recently, Starr described the final season of the show as “bigger” and “deeper” in a new interview. Speaking to Variety, the actor gave an insight into what fans can expect to see from the show’s final season and his character Homelander. Revealing a little of what fans can expect from season five, he explained: “I’ve read into the season slightly, and it not only is bigger, but it’s deeper.” He continued: “The more Homelander gets what he wants, the less happy he is. And that really frustrates him. You can expect a real ratcheting up of stakes and emotion, and ‘The Boys’ really have their work cut out for them.” He also opened up about his creative work with Kripke and discussed how they work together on set. He added: “Eric’s always been very open about any ideas that I’ve had, anything I want to add, subtract. I come in with an idea, he knocks it back or explains why there is something the way it is. It’s a pretty organic interchange. We just kick ideas around. It’s just a great, positive, creative experience.” Kripke was similarly effusive and added that Starr was a “thrill to watch”. He continued: “One of the things that I love about his fearlessness as an actor is he’ll throw himself into a scene not knowing what Homelander’s going to do. And because he doesn’t know, the audience doesn’t know. One of the reasons Homelander is such an unexpected character is because literally Homelander doesn’t know what he’s going to do next.” Meanwhile, back in October, a real-life pop-up version of Vought-a-Burger, the diner featured in The Boys opened in Los Angeles.

OTTAWA—Three key premiers whose provinces generate energy exports dismissed Premier suggestion that Canada should slap punitive tariffs on America or shut off electricity, gas and oil shipments to the U.S. in retaliation for Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs on Canadian products, as Trump shrugged off Ford’s warning. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, Quebec Premier François Legault, and Newfoundland and Labrador’s Andrew Furey said bluntly they do not support Ford’s threat to “cut off their energy” which he said would make Americans “feel the pain.” Ford made the threat after all 13 premiers met the night before with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Canada’s response, and he reiterated it Thursday. However Trump, the incoming U.S. president appeared unmoved by Ford’s tough talk when speaking with a CNBC reporter Thursday on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. “That’s OK if he that does that. That’s fine,” Trump told CNBC, repeating his about the Canada-U.S. trade deficit. “The United States is subsidizing Canada and we shouldn’t have to do that,” Trump said. “And we have a great relationship. I have so many friends in Canada, but we shouldn’t have to subsidize a country. We’re subsidizing more than a $100 billion a year. We shouldn’t have to be doing that.” Alberta’s Smith dismissed throttling Canadian energy shipments as she unveiled Alberta’s own plan to beef up border security with new provincial sheriff patrol teams to allay Trump’s border concerns. “Under no circumstances will Alberta agree to cut off oil and gas exports,” Smith said. “We don’t support tariffs. I don’t support tariffs on Canadian goods, and I don’t support tariffs on U.S. goods, because all it does is make life more expensive for everyday Canadians and everyday Americans,” Smith said. “Instead, we’re taking a diplomatic approach, and we’re meeting with our allies in the U.S. We’re making the case for Alberta oil and gas to be part of the solution to energy affordability, to energy security and to, generally speaking, North American defence security as well,” she said. Ford reiterated the notion of cutting off Canadian energy exports to the U.S. right before Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador unveiled a blockbuster new $225-billion hydroelectricity , one those two provinces touted as key to Canada’s renewable energy commitments. The deal replaces a scorned decades-old contract due to expire in 2041, and requires Quebec to pay 30 times more for thousands of kilowatt hours of power generated from the Churchill Falls plant. It will also see the two provinces develop new hydro power projects along the Churchill River, and generate 2,400 more megawatts for Quebec. Legault called it an “extraordinary” deal for Quebec that means Labrador hydroelectricity will ramp up from a 17 per cent share of Quebec’s supply to 50 per cent. Furey said the agreement “changes everything.” “It is a fair deal for both parties. It’s a good commercial deal that recognizes the ills of the past and creates a new path forward for Newfoundland and Labrador, while allowing Quebec some certainty moving forward. So Premier Legault did show us the money,” Furey quipped. So it was no surprise when both premiers immediately dismissed any call to shut off energy exports to U.S. markets. “These tariffs will have significant impact on families and macro economies on both sides of the border. We hope it is just bluster. We’re preparing as if it is not. There will be no winners in a trade war,” Furey said, echoing Smith’s pledge. “Certainly from Newfoundland and Labrador’s perspective, we have no interest in stopping the flow of oil and gas, our incredibly valuable and now well-sought-after-world-class oil and gas to the United States. Nor do we now have any interest in stopping export of any electrons that could be produced in Labrador to the Northeastern seaboard.” Legault said he met Trump in Paris last weekend, “and he told me very clearly that we can avoid those tariffs if we do what needs to be done with the borders.” “He doesn’t want to see any more illegal immigrants coming from Canada to U.S. So I think the best choice right now for Mr. Trudeau is to very fast table a plan with money, with the number of people, to better secure the border. I think we have to do that. It’s a lot better than getting 25-per-cent tariffs starting on Jan. 21. So I prefer that than starting a war and stopping sending energy to (the) United States.” The Alberta premier said her new measures, which include sheriff patrol teams, and a “red zone” within two kilometres of the Alberta-Montana border, had been in the works since 2023 and would have been implemented even without Trump’s tariff threat. Steve Verheul, Canada’s former top trade negotiator, has suggested that Canada could put export levies on key Canadian goods like oil and agricultural commodities, saying it would quickly drive up the cost of fuel and food to American consumers, and could be used as leverage to negotiate a “broader exemption across all the sectors” that may be hit by Trump’s tariffs. Smith dismissed that, too, as a “terrible idea.” Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said Thursday he also intends to beef up border security using provincial conservation officers and spend more on overtime for RCMP officers at the border. Kinew did not directly answer whether he would restrict electricity exports, but Kinew said Manitoba is drafting a list of potential retaliatory tariffs in order to protect Canadian jobs at risk from Trump’s tariffs. He said Canada must show “how are we going to stand up for the ag industry? How are we going to stand up for our energy industry and the manufacturing industry here in Manitoba? So we have to make sure that our response is comprehensive,” he said. But at Queen’s Park, Ford did not walk anything back. He said he’s “sending a message to the U.S.” not to impose tariffs on Canadian goods or else — as a “last resort” — Ontario will strike back. “We power 1.5 million homes,” Ford said Thursday, referring to the electricity Ontario supplies Michigan, New York and Minnesota. “If they put on tariffs, it’s going to be unaffordable for Americans to buy electricity,” the premier said, noting his province alone does about $500 billion in annual two-way trade with the U.S. and nine million American jobs depend on trading with Ontario. “Just like if they put tariffs on the 4.3 million barrels of oil that Alberta is shipping down to the U.S. — if you put 25 per cent increases, every barrel of oil, every gallon of gasoline (goes up) by $1,” he said at Queen’s Park. Ford said that “along with the federal government, all the premiers are putting a list together” of American goods that could be targeted with counter-tariffs. “We can’t just roll over as we’re being under attack and hurting our families and our jobs.” Trudeau on Monday said Canada would to Trump’s threat to impose a 25-percent surcharge on all Canadian and Mexican products on his first day in office to force the two border countries to “stop” illegal immigration and fentanyl from entering the U.S. But it is far from clear what American products the Liberal government would levy counter-tariffs on. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said only that several premiers said critical minerals and metals needed by the U.S. should be on any “robust” Canadian retaliatory tariff list.Gretchen Walsh takes her swimming world records tally to 7 this week in BudapestBills defense looks to get physical to rebound against Lions' top scoring offense

Ollie Schniederjans and a LIV rules official assessing Schniederjans' lie on Friday. LIV Golf/YouTube If you were trying to identify the Next Big Thing in 2015, Ollie Schniederjans would have been on your short list. Until he wasn’t. All of which helps explain why this week Schniederjans is playing golf halfway across the world on a quest to land a new home with LIV Golf , where purses are $25 million and last season only seven players made less than $2 million. Joining Schniederjans at the LIV Golf Promotions event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, were 92 other hopefuls, only one of whom — the winner of the 72-hole event — will earn entrée to LIV for the 2025 season (though the top 10 finishers, including ties, will earn full exemptions into the Asian Tour’s 2025 International Series). We say were because after Friday’s second round at Riyadh Golf Club, the field was whittled down to 20 golfers who will play 36 holes on Saturday to determine the champion. Trimming a field down to a round number typically requires a playoff, and this event was no exception. On Friday, six entrants — Schniederjans among them — finished 36 holes tied for 20th at three under, meaning a sudden-death playoff was necessary to determine which one of those players would advance. When Schniederjans and MJ Maguire were the only players to birdie the first playoff hole — the 396-yard par-4 18th — the 6-for-1 playoff quickly became 2-for-1, which is how it stayed when Schniederjans and Maguire replayed 18 and made matching birdies again. On their third go-around on the home hole (fourth including regulation), Maguire found the fairway, but Schniederjans did not; after carrying the water, his ball settled into a sandy waste area roughly 30 yards short and right of the green. His lie looked wicked — his ball nestled up against the crusty collar of rough on the far side of the sand — and it was wicked, especially given the magnitude of the approach shot Schniederjans was facing. Bad break? Nope, quite the opposite, actually, because Schniederjans was about to get free relief from an unusual rule. Thanks to a local rule instituted by LIV this week to prevent players from hurting themselves when faced with precarious shots like this one, Schniederjans was permitted to identify his nearest point of relief — in this case, the light rough outside the waste area — and drop his ball within a club-length of that spot. “It’s a short enough shot that he wouldn’t really hurt himself, but you can’t take that into account when you’re designing the local rules,” LIV Golf analyst Jerry Foltz said on the broadcast. Su-Ann Heng, LIV’s on-course reporter, called the ruling “a huge break,” later adding of the drop, “MJ is looking pretty closely at it, too.” Schniederjans’ break got even better when during his drop procedure, his ball twice rolled out of the relief area, meaning he was permitted to place his ball on a perfect lie. “Every once in a while, the rules work to your advantage,” Foltz said. To which Heng said: “If you’re MJ, though, I’m sure you’re a little bit disappointed.” Schniederjans didn’t catch his approach as cleanly as he would have liked, leaving himself about 10 feet for birdie. Maguire’s attempt from the middle of the fairway also left little to be desired as it ran 20 feet by the hole from where he failed to make 3. Then it was Schniederjans’ turn: hole the putt and advance to Saturday’s 36-hole finale, or miss it and play a fourth playoff hole. As Schniederjans’ ball rolled toward the cup, there was never a doubt. Bingo . Asked about the ruling after the round, Schniederjans said, “I was assuming I was getting relief, but I hadn’t been in that spot all week. That was obviously a great break.” Of course, for Schniederjans, there is still much work to be done. Thirty-six holes and 19 players still stand between him and a chance to prove himself in LIV’s big-money showdowns in 2025. But that chance is something Schniederjans desperately wants. “I’ve been through a lot,” he said Friday evening as dusk settled over Riyadh Golf Club. “I want to play against the best players in the world again. I think I’m coming back to I’m fully healthy. I just want to prove myself again and get that opportunity.” Latest In News Golf.com Editor As GOLF.com’s executive editor, Bastable is responsible for the editorial direction and voice of one of the game’s most respected and highly trafficked news and service sites.
