NAPA, Calif. (AP) — Justin Thomas scuffled through an uneven afternoon with a 3-under 69 in his return to the PGA Tour following a lengthy layoff, leaving him six shots off the lead Thursday in the first round of the Fortinet Championship.Thomas, the former No. 1 player in the world who was a captain’s pick for the Ryder Cup, had hoped to clean up his game in a final tune-up, but wasn’t nearly as sharp at Silverado Resort as he hoped.Playing for the first time since finishing 12th at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Aug. 6, Thomas made four birdies and worked around a bogey on the par-4 ninth. He was tied for 20th, chasing Lucas Herbert, the leader after a 6-under 63.“Sometimes after some time off it’s hard for me to get back into it but I didn’t feel very competitively rusty,” said Thomas, who hit three of 14 fairways. “I was very engaged and focused on what I was doing. I just wasn’t exactly doing it how I wanted to.“I was managing my game. It’s exactly w...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:19:54 GMT

Catholic Memorial coach John DiBiaso reached out to an old friend in order to help find a new opponent.With the prospects of not having a game in back-to-back weeks, DiBiaso had a conversation with his former assistant Tony Gulla, who suggested looking in Florida (where he is currently an assistant coach and guidance counselor). One thing led to another and the Knights were able to land a game against Cardinal Newman Friday night in West Palm Beach.“We looked in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and couldn’t find a game.” DiBiaso said. “Tony said there is a site in Florida where they listed teams looking for a game and we found Cardinal Newman.”Cardinal Newman (2-0) opened its season with one-sided wins over Monsignor Pace (42-17) and Belen Jesuit (41-0). Luke Warnock has completed 28-of-36 passes for 481 yards and seven touchdowns, while Jaylin Brown (20 carries for 133 yards) and Xanai Scott (nine carries for 53 yards) are the top rushers.

‘Scrapper’ a gritty but touching tale of impoverished childhood

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:19:54 GMT

Kino Lorber release “Scrapper” is a throwback to the “kitchen sink” dramas of the UK’s late 1950s early-1960s New Wave period. The film is a gritty at times, low-budget, social reform-minded entry about a, yes, scrappy 12-year-old girl named Georgie (appealing, non-professional Lola Campbell). Left alone in her council flat since the death of her young mother, Georgie has been pretending to live with a non-existent uncle named, ahem, Winston Churchill.She has spent her days hanging out with her slightly older friend Ali (Alin Uzun) and watching videos of her mother on her phone and crying. Out of the blue, a tall, thin young man appears in her tiny backyard, a genie out of a bottle, claiming to be her father Jason (long-necked Harris Dickinson, the male model of “Triangle of Sadness”). This stranger, a 30-year-old man-child with the hair around the top of his head dyed white, making him resemble a marsupial, claims to have been in Spain, working spots popular with Brits and le...

Modern English ‘Long in the Tooth’ – and proud of it

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:19:54 GMT

If you made love or got married to Modern English’s post-punk classic “I Melt With You,” guess what: You were missing the point. Though it seems like a nice song about sex, frontman Robbie Grey reveals that it really has a darker meaning.“It was initially written as an antinuclear song,” he said this week. “We were thinking of two people melting together as the world explodes. And that’s probably what you’d do if the world was ending, you’d want to be with the person you love. Everybody has their own interpretation, but it started out about making love as the bomb drops.” But he doesn’t mind if people have a softer interpretation. “I’m a sexual person, and I enjoy pursuing the art of sex with my wife,” he says. “And we’re not the kind of band that hates the fact that we had a very popular song. It makes the concerts more fun — I don’t even have to sing it, the crowd does it for me. And it pays all our bills.”Having toured extensively in recent years, Modern English plays the H...

Franks: CNN poll shows almost any Republican can beat Biden

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:19:54 GMT

The good news for former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley is that if the election for president were held today, she would clearly beat Biden — by six points.The bad news for her is that nearly every one of her top Republican challengers – except for former President Donald Trump – would also beat Biden, though just narrowly. It is early, however.For Republicans who have as their top priority winning in November 2024, this is all very good news. Despite Trump getting all the media attention and just one GOP debate (without Trump), Trump is near the bottom of GOP presidential candidates in hypothetical head-to-head contests against Biden.Want to win, GOP? If so, it is becoming very clear what should happen. Trump supporters should switch their support in the primaries to the best candidate who can win the White House.Being the best Republican candidate among Republicans does absolutely nothing for America and little for Trump.
