So how do your favorites pair up in this gridiron/slasher mash-up?So some people out there think that horror fans and NFL fans are two totally different subcultures. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Heck, go to any Raiders game and you’ll see scores of people in the crowd dressed up like Michael Myers, Chucky and Pinhead — even on Christmas Day. Despite what some know-nothings might tell you, there’s definitely a lot of overlap between horror fans and pro football fans. In fact, there’s so much overlap that you could argue that each and every team in…

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger dismissed current Gov. Gavin Newsom’s argument that the proposed redistricting in the state was temporary, calling the notion “total fantasy.” “I think when he — when they say this is temporary, there is no such thing. I mean, the longest programs are government programs that are temporary. Okay, just remember that if this is a tax program or if it is the redistricting program, anything that is temporary with government is permanent,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union,” responding to a clip of Newsom touting his Proposition 50 legislation that would reshape congressional…

Following the Miami Dolphins’ worst loss of the season, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa cited his lack of height for not being able to target his receivers downfield, saying “you don’t just want to throw it blindly.” Well, that’s exactly what he did in his latest outing — and it resulted in his best performance of the season.

Struggling with feeling good enough can all at once be both a lifelong struggle and also something you tend to forget about on a day-to-day, conscious level. So instead of being aware of how your low self-esteem impacts your life, you may be prone to moving from one self-esteem crisis to the next. This is exhausting and all-consuming, so much so that you may lose sight of how your self-esteem might be what is perpetuating your unhappiness. Feeling not good enough, like you don’t quite measure up or you don’t belong, or that you need to dupe people into thinking…

SAN ANTONIO — The Nets are tanking this season in hopes of landing a transformational talent in next year’s draft. They didn’t have far to look to see just what that can do for a franchise. The scoreline will say the Nets lost 118-107 to the Spurs at the Frost Bank Center. But really, they lost to Victor Wembanyama and Dylan Harper. Once again, the Nets dug themselves a huge hole — this time 26 points — before storming back to take a fourth-quarter lead. But they couldn’t hold it. Nets guard Cam Thomas, center, drives against San Antonio Spurs…

Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo have been attached ever since they were drafted by the Giants — Dart in the first round, Skattebo in the fourth — earlier this season. And their bond only grew when the rookie duo helped give the Giants a spark once Dart took over the starting quarterback spot following an 0-3 start to the season. So it was no surprise to see Dart’s emotional reaction to Skattebo going down with an apparently serious right ankle injury when he was hit while attempting to make a catch in the second quarter Sunday against the Eagles in…

Family estrangement is often misunderstood and stigmatized, leaving many who’ve chosen it hesitant to share their experiences with others. When they can talk, they choose safe and capable people to engage with. Would you like to be one of these people? If so, consider the following guidance. Do Not Focus on Your Beliefs Avoid saying: “But they’re your family.” “Family is everything.” “You only get one father/mother/grandparent.” Someone who has chosen estrangement does not need to hear your thoughts or feelings about family. They have heard it before from others or society, and yet they are estranged. Instead, consider being…
