Ron Rivera’s Washington Commanders are booed in a 40-20 loss to the previously winless Chicago Bears

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:01:09 GMT

By HOWARD FENDRICH (AP National Writer)LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — A terrible half is nothing new to Ron Rivera’s Washington Commanders, just in recent weeks. But against the Chicago Bears, a club that hadn’t won a game in nearly a year? And in front of a national primetime audience, to boot?That was too much for some of the home fans to take Thursday night, apparently, and so it came, appropriately, with a soundtrack of boos. In the fourth quarter, a chant of the team’s old nickname — “Let’s go, Redskins!” — broke out.Their defense — supposedly a strength under head coach Rivera, a former Chicago linebacker, and coordinator Jack Del Rio — was unable to do a thing to slow, let alone stop, Justin Fields and DJ Moore, and the Commanders fell into a 24-point halftime hole along the way to dropping their third game in a row, 40-20 to the Bears.This followed a 34-31 overtime loss at the Philadelphia Eagles, seen by some ...

Changing aesthetic preferences, cost considerations, and technological advancements in construction materials make brick facades less popular.Alternatives include stone, rainscreens, fiber cement siding, engineered wood, or brick veneer.Traditional red brick tends to make a home look dated, said Chris Withers, president and co-owner of Old Greenwich Builders.“Brick facades are less popular than they used to be, especially in the Wash Park area,” said Lauren Browne, operations director at Denver-based custom home builder Larsen.Instead, the company sees more demand for stone or painted brick. Cedar accents are also popular.Stone facadesStone facades offer many advantages, including durability, aesthetic appeal, low maintenance, and energy efficiency. They can also last for decades.However, they may be more expensive to install and require additional structural support due to their weight.

NEW YORK (AP) — D’Wayne Wiggins and Timothy Christian Riley didn’t realize that Raphael Saadiq was planting the seeds for a Tony! Toni! Toné! reunion when he arranged a photoshoot earlier this year.“He said a few times before, so we never paid that much attention to it until this fool put up a big-ass billboard in Oakland, and I had to see it through social media,” said vocalist and bass guitarist Wiggins, who wondered if the image was Photoshopped. “I thought someone was playing tricks, morphing our picture.”Saadiq, the lead singer and guitarist of the beloved R&B group, gathered the trio together, free of any outside influence.“I didn’t tell any of the managers or team or anybody because I just wanted it to be us. … I wanted to be in a room where the only power structure was one, two and three,” said Saadiq of his bandmates who are also family: Wiggins is his brother and Riley is their cousin. “We have to be us first before we could talk to anybody because that’s what happened...
