The athletic program he took over at Tulane in 2015 was thriving, especially a football program still basking in what was accomplished last season.But when the job as athletic director at Washington came open in August and Dannen became identified in the search process, the thought of making a career-defining move entered his mind.“I then I went through six weeks of nerves about whether I could actually get the job or not,” Dannen said Tuesday.Dannen did get the job, taking over at Washington at a time with major changes on the horizon for the university.

Analysis: Eagles, 49ers clear front-runners in NFC; AFC is more jumbled

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:42:28 GMT

The Eagles and 49ers are the clear front-runners in the NFC while the AFC is jumbled five weeks into the season.San Francisco made the biggest statement so far with a dominant 42-10 win over Dallas on Sunday night. The 49ers (5-0) have been the NFL’s most complete team. They can win behind Brock Purdy’s passing, Christian McCaffrey’s running or by leaning on Nick Bosa and a stingy defense.An offense that’s loaded with Purdy, McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk easily handled one of the league’s top defenses. The Cowboys couldn’t do anything to stop San Francisco. Injuries might be the only thing that can slow down the 49ers. They learned that last season when Purdy, who began the season as the No. 3 quarterback, tore an elbow ligament in the NFC championship game against Philadelphia.The defending NFC champion Eagles (5-0) are still building their identity, but keep finding ways to win despite playing below the standard they set last season on their way to a Super ...

It had been more than 50 years since a woman played on the PGA Tour.And then there was Michelle Wie West, who played eight times on t...

ANÁLISIS | La historia de Israel sugiere que el tiempo de Netanyahu en el poder está contado tras el ataque de Hamas

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:42:28 GMT

(CNN) —  En sus más de tres décadas en política, Benjamin Netanyahu ha acumulado casi tantos apodos como victorias electorales.“El mago”, por su asombrosa habilidad para arrancar la victoria de las fauces de la derrota. “El Rey Bibi” por permanecer en la cima de la política israelí más tiempo que nadie. Y, universalmente, aunque no necesariamente con afecto: “Bibi” a secas. Pero hay otro con el que se deleitaba, y que ahora parece no ser más: “Sr. Seguridad”. ¿Cómo salió todo tan mal?Cronología: así fueron, paso a paso, el ataque de Hamas y la respuesta de IsraelSigue sin estar claro cómo más de 1.000 combatientes de Hamas consiguieron tomar a Israel por sorpresa de una forma tan devastadoramente mortífera, asesinando, como escribió el presidente Isaac Herzog, a más judíos en un solo día que en ningún otro momento desde el Holocausto.Y por ahora, los oponentes de Netanyahu no piden que éste dimita. “No me ocupo ahora de qui...
