PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi believes he should be judged by his nine years of work with the Panthers, not a brief soundbite following a blowout loss to Notre Dame in which he openly questioned the talent of his roster.Narduzzi came under fire both internally and externally for a comment he made following the 58-7 setback to the then-No. 14 Irish that added another difficult moment to the worst season of his largely successful tenure.“I’ll go back, as a football coach you lose a lot of good players from a year ago and you think as a coach you’re going to replace them and obviously we haven’t,” Narduzzi said Saturday. “Again, it starts with me. I didn’t do a good enough job coaching today. Put it on me and we’ve got to make plays.”The Panthers went 9-4 in 2022, winning the Sun Bowl.

Not too scary

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:33:20 GMT

We have some weather changes on the way, for Halloween and beyond. These won’t be anything “too frightful” but rather keep our weather interesting for the rest of the week. The Halloween holiday will be a hot one across south Florida. We’ll remain on the sultry side of an approaching front with temperature highs getting close to 90-degrees on Tuesday afternoon. It’s worth noting that Miami had a high of 89º on Monday (so we’ve been seeing temperatures build higher). It will also feel muggy ahead of the boundary, but that won’t stick around too much longer. By Wednesday morning, a weakening cold front will push south and provide some relief. A big cooling event for us? No, not by a long shot. Temperatures are forecast to fall about 5 to 7-degrees both for daytime and nighttime readings. What you’ll notice more than anything, though, will be the wind surge following the boundary. Winds will increase Wednesday with gusty condit...

Her Hatred of President DONALD J. TRUMP is so great that she has been diagnosed with a major, and incurable, case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME,” the former president said Monday via his Truth Social platform.Trump was indicted by a grand jury on four charges after an investigation by Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team allegedly showed he was at the center of efforts to subvert the will of the voters following his defeat by...

‘Slap in the face:’ Boston veterans still fuming at City Council over budget cut

The measure “honoring all those who served our country” is aimed at helping to mend a relationship that remains strained by last June’s budget vote.Flynn said residents, veterans and military families across the city and country were “shocked and extremely disappointed” at the “disrespect” shown by many members of the City Council, who voted to cut $900,000 from a budget that broadly supports low-income veterans and their families.“The sacred oath that we have made to veterans has been negatively impacted by the vote of the City Council to cut $1 million,” Flynn, a U.S. Navy veteran, told the Herald. “But I a...
