The Seattle Seahawks will have a new-look backfield in 2026 after losing Super Bowl MVP running back Kenneth Walker to the Kansas City Chiefs. John Schneider’s first move was to sign Emanuel Wilson from the Green Bay Packers on a one-year deal. Shortly after signing with Seattle, Wilson revealed that the Seahawks were his favorite team growing up in North Carolina. So blessed to be here.” He also said that he’s a “downhill physical runner and I have a lot of explosiveness in me.”Evidently, Wilson’s favorite running backs were Shaun Alexander and Marshawn Lynch. Seattle’s got an illustrious history at the running back position, and we can only hope that Wilson plays a part in continuing that tradition.

The cheers were loud and long at the 98th Academy Awards after “One Battle After Another” won best picture. I’ve never seen this before.’”AdvertisementThat’s what makes “One Battle” far less weighty than critics and supporters alike have characterized it as being. In his attempt to make a comedy of errors about an era of terror, Anderson missed the forest for the trees about resistance in Trump’s America. AdvertisementOn the left, Anderson trots out stock characters — the oversexed Black woman revolutionary, Leo’s cuckolded white stoner, doctrinaire newcomers — from a Bob Hope skit about hippies. “One Battle” doesn’t belong in the same conversation as those masterpieces.

The report describes this single factor as “the most catastrophic single-year trade disruption in the history of U.S. wine exports.” Seems bad.

Well, I do believe that the Iranians were actually desperate for a deal. I do believe that they were willing to give President Trump way more than they gave President Obama.

Meanwhile, Iran continues to export oil, with shipments from Kharg Island—the nation’s key energy hub—resuming Sunday after a two-day interruption due to U.S. strikes, according to Kpler data. With no immediate resolution in sight for disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz, market watchers say oil prices are unlikely to ease anytime soon.
