Jimmy Kimmel lashes back at Aaron Rodgers over QB's comments regarding 'Epstein List'

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 07:48:22 GMT

Jimmy Kimmel and Aaron Rodgers have apparently embarked on the latest public celebrity feud.Kimmel, the popular late-night talk-show host, called out Rodgers for comments the former Green Bay Packers star and current New York Jets quarterback made Tuesday during Rodgers' scheduled appearance on ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show." Rodgers' comments were tied to the so-called "Epstein List," the high-profile list of associates of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Supposedly, that list will be released soon.Rodgers was being interviewed Tuesday on McAfee's show when the list was brought up. That's when Rodgers said, "There's a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, really hoping that it doesn't come out."Rodgers' comments appeared to be retaliation for the times that Kimmel has made fun of Rodgers for the latter's stances on the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccines. ‘Hooliganism’: Actor Ian Ziering addresses Hollywood mini-biker brawl Kimmel was not happy with Rodgers' accusations regarding the "Eps...

Joel Embiid returns with seventh career triple-double in 76ers' rout of Chicago Bulls

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 07:48:22 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joel Embiid declined at first to wear a “ Big Energy ” chain before he reluctantly agreed to slip on the gaudy necklace and flexed his muscles for a quick photo at his locker.“The Process” was back — and so were the 76ers.Embiid had 31 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in his return from a sprained right ankle, Tyrese Maxey scored 21 points and Philadelphia beat the Chicago Bulls 110-97 on Tuesday night.“He was moving great. I think his conditioning was less than that,” coach Nick Nurse said. “But that's OK. I think that game was good for him to kind of recondition himself.”Embiid missed all four games on the 76ers’ holiday road trip, and they went 2-2. One of those games was in Chicago just three nights earlier, a 105-92 loss in which the Sixers never led in the second half.Embiid is the reigning NBA MVP for a reason. With the big man back, the Sixers turned this into an early blowout against a Bulls team that had played well recently without inj...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Love it, hate it or yawn at it, Minnesota is set to get a new state flag this spring that echoes its motto of being the North Star State, replacing an old flag that brought up painful memories of conquest and displacement for Native Americans.During the monthslong selection process, some publicly submitted designs gained cult followings on social media but didn't make the final cut. They included: a loon – the state bird – with lasers for eyes; a photo of someone’s dog; famous paintings of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln; and an image of a rather large mosquito.Instead, the flag design adopted in December includes a dark blue shape resembling Minnesota on the left, with a white, eight-pointed North Star on it. On the right is a light blue field that to those involved in the selection process symbolizes the abundant waters that help define the Land of 10,000 Lakes.The new state seal features a loon amid wild rice, to replace the image of a Native American rid...

Some of those tests had expiration dates for February 2023, a whole eight months before they arrived in mailboxes. The reason why you have that lingering cough However, the Food and Drug Administration said the tests were not actually expired, noting that it had extended the expiration dates for more than a dozen at-home COVID test kits.
