Why does the NFL have a 2-minute warning? It wasn't always about ads

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:04:14 GMT

(NEXSTAR) — Whether you’re an avid football fan or just tuning in to spot your favorite celebrity, you may find yourself puzzled by the twice-a-game two-minute warning. If you’re unfamiliar, the two-minute warning is an automatic timeout that occurs during NFL games. It happens when the game clock hits the two-minute mark at the end of the second and fourth quarters. After the two-minute warning, certain clock running rules also take effect. So why is it called ‘football’? But why does the NFL stop the game and change some rules with just a few minutes left in the half?As you may have guessed, the two-minute warning does offer another opportunity for commercials, which of course have monetary value. It also has value to teams, who view it as a bonus timeout, former NFL quarterback Rich Gannon told the Los Angeles Times in 2016.Despite its modern benefits — more ad time and an extra break — the two-minute rule once served a more necessary purpose. What are NFL players wearin...

Netanyahu blames security agencies for intelligence failure, then pulls back

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:04:14 GMT

A social media post by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashing out at military and security chiefs for allowing a deadly Hamas attack on October 7 was promptly deleted on Sunday after triggering negative comments, many from Israel’s own war cabinet.As the post on X unleashed a wave of furious reactions by high-ranking Israeli security officials, exposing deep internal divisions, Netanyahu published a new post saying: “I was wrong.”“The things I said following the press conference should not have been said and I apologize for that,” he wrote. “I give full backing to all the heads of the security arms. I am strengthening the Chief of Staff and the commanders and soldiers of the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] who are at the front,” he added in the post. Netanyahu has drawn public criticism for refusing to take any responsibility in not preventing Hamas’ assault earlier this month, when the militant group killed more than 1,400 people and took ...

Trade talks collapse between EU and Australia

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:04:14 GMT

Last-chance negotiations on a trade agreement between Australia and the European Union have fallen through, Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell said on Sunday. “Unfortunately, we have not been able to make progress,” Farrell said in a video statement after informal discussions between Canberra and Brussels. “Negotiations will continue and I am hopeful that, one day, we will sign a deal that benefits both Australia and our European friends.” The talks, held on the sidelines of a meeting of G7 trade ministers in Japan, were seen as a last-ditch attempt for the two sides to bridge remaining gaps.“The European Commission regrets the lack of progress made during talks in Osaka today. Our negotiating teams made good progress in recent weeks, including in the days leading up to the Osaka meeting. There was optimism that a deal was within reach,” a spokesperson for the EU executive said.“However, ministerial discussions in Osaka did not see the sa...

In Myanmar, a Facebook post deemed inflammatory led to an ex-minister’s arrest

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:04:14 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — A former high-profile Myanmar army officer who had served as information minister and presidential spokesperson in a previous military-backed government has been arrested and charged with spreading false or inflammatory news, a statement from the current military government said Sunday.In a statement sent to journalists, the military’s information office said 64-year old Ye Htut, a retired lieutenant colonel, was arrested for violating Section 505(A) of the penal code, a provision called “incitement,” for writing and spreading false news on his Facebook social media account.His arrest came the same month a Myanmar military tribunal sentenced two high-ranking generals to life imprisonment after they were found guilty of high treason, accepting bribes, illegal possession of foreign currency and violating military discipline.Those sentences appeared to be the harshest so far for the senior members of the military’s administrative bodies that were set up after the army se...

Israeli media, also traumatized by Hamas attack, become communicators of Israel’s message

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:04:14 GMT

When 85-year-old Israeli woman Yocheved Lifshitz was released from Hamas captivity last week, she was warmly welcomed home. Then she began to speak.Addressing reporters from a wheelchair at a hospital, Lifshitz described a harrowing experience in Hamas captivity but also said she had been fairly treated. Israeli media instantly seized on that nuanced portrayal as a blow to the country’s messaging that Hamas are savages.A flurry of op-eds, social media posts and on-air discussion by Israeli journalists counseled Israeli officials how to manage further hostage releases to ensure Israel’s narrative was being effectively communicated.The episode brought into focus the dual role played by Israeli media following Hamas’ devastating Oct. 7 attack on southern Israeli communities and the war that it set off. Beyond their traditional function as journalists, Israeli reporters are also in many ways acting as public advocates on behalf of the Israeli war effort, showing how deeply the tra...

Son of Canadian hostage in Gaza: “Military actions don’t solve anything”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:04:14 GMT

OTTAWA — The son of a Canadian woman believed to be among those held hostage by Hamas in Gaza wants the world to push for an end to the fighting and says he fears Israel’s escalating offensive could end all chance of bringing his mother safely home. Yonatan Zeigen’s mother, Vivian Silver, is one of an estimated 229 hostages taken by Hamas during its bloody Oct. 7 rampage in Israel.Hamas fighters breached Israel’s defences and stormed into nearby towns like Silver’s, gunning down civilians and soldiers in a surprise attack that killed at least 1,400 people.Since then, Israel has drastically limited electricity and food in the territory, and this weekend has ramped up air and land assaults ahead of an expected full-scale invasion of the densely populated territory.Zeigen says Silver raised him to believe that peace is the only way to solve the decades of conflict in the Middle East, and he’s worried that hostages will die if there is a ground invasion.Zei...
