Manchester City's winless streak grew to six games on Tuesday and in surprising fashion, blowing a 3-0 lead to tie 3-3 with Feyenoord in the UEFA Champions League. In the process, City became the first team in UCL history to fail to win a match after leading by three goals in the 75th minute, per Opta. Though they did not look exactly like their vintage selves by the 75th minute, City put in the work to boast a 3-0 lead. The scoreline reflected their dominance, taking 14 shots and putting seven on target while limiting Feyenoord to two shots on frame at that point. Erling Haaland was poised to be the story of the game with his brace, making him the fastest player to reach 50-goal involvements in the history of the Champions League. Anis Hadj-Moussa's 76th-minute goal, though, was far more than a consolation for Feyenoord. It was both the spark that allowed the visitors to score two more times in the span of 13 minutes courtesy of Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko, as well as a reminder of how much things have come off the rails for City. FEYENOORD COME BACK FROM 3-0 DOWN TO STUN MANCHESTER CITY 😱 pic.twitter.com/HWB2NGMOjN One can easily trace City's downward spiral back to September when Ballon d'Or winner Rodri tore his ACL . It had long been clear that the midfielder was the glue binding Pep Guardiola's tactical strategy together, and it was also obvious that the team would miss him as they looked for a fifth successive Premier League title and their first Champions League title since 2023. Two months since his injury and six games into the longest winless run in Guardiola's career, though, it is also apparent that their woes are not entirely attached to Rodri's absence. City have become somewhat wasteful in front of goal this season, trending in the wrong direction in a variety of ways this season. While their expected goals average is holding steady at 2.2 per game, they averaged more goals (2.6) last season than they are this time around (2.0) despite taking fewer shots per game (18.7 to 20.2). Their decreased production in attack has made the margins of their victory tighter, diminishing the high-scoring tendencies that have made them such a dominant side over the last decade and change. Guardiola's side are also surprisingly reliant on Haaland, whose 15 goals make up 38% of City's goals so far this season. His 38 goals last season only accounted for 26% of City's goals, and he was far from the only one putting up big numbers last season. PFA Player of the Year Phil Foden scored 27 times across all competitions, while Julian Alvarez scored 19 times before moving to Atletico Madrid over the summer. While Haaland is scoring at a similar pace as last season, Foden has just three goals in all competitions so far this campaign and City did little to replace Alvarez. City's slowdown in attack has been worsened by their decreasing defensive ability in recent weeks. They have conceded 18 goals during their six-game winless run, seven of which came in the last few days alone if you include their 4-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday . They have come off sloppy individual errors that have begun to add up – City now average 1.4 goals against per game, a significant increase from the 0.9 goals against they posted last season, which also included a month-long spell with injury for first-choice goalkeeper Ederson. Rodri may undeniably be City's best player, but it feels unreasonable to attribute their regression solely to his absence, even if it plays a major part. Considering the squad composition and the apparent refusal to refresh the squad in the summer, it felt like this season was going to be a last dance of sorts for Guardiola's dominant but aging side. The bet to extend the glory days by one more year, though, is that this particular version of City may have been closer to the end than originally anticipated. Guardiola being Guardiola, there's still a chance he can find tactical solutions to get out of this mess. They may be eight points behind Liverpool in the title race, but that's not exactly irreversible at this stage of the season, and they are still in a strong position to advance to the next round in the Champions League. City being City, they can also arguably lure whichever players they want to Manchester if they feel that's the quickest fix. Whatever the solutions may be, though, they are slowly running out of time to find them. Sunday's clash at Liverpool will offer another progress report on the state of City, but their six-game winless run proves that Guardiola's side struggle in all kinds of games, not only the big ones. This poor run of form is as obvious a sign as any that Guardiola's City, as we know them, just might not work anymore, signaling the end of an era.lodibet 77 com 。

Israeli airstrikes killed a hospital director at his home in northeastern Lebanon and six others, while at least five paramedics were killed by Israeli strikes in the country's south on Friday, Lebanon's Health Ministry said. The United Nations reported heavy clashes between Israeli troops and Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon. Four Italian peacekeepers were lightly wounded when a rocket, likely fired by Hezbollah, hit their base, the U.N. said. A full-blown war between Israel and Hezbollah erupted in September after nearly a year of lower-intensity conflict. More than 3,640 people have been killed in Lebanon and 15,350 wounded, the majority following Israel’s escalation and ground invasion, the Health Ministry said Friday. In Gaza, Israeli strikes hit Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of the few hospitals still partially operating in the northernmost part of the territory, wounding six medical staff and damaging its generator and oxygen systems, the hospital director said Friday. More than 44,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip, the Health Ministry said. It does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count, but it has said that more than half of the fatalities are women and children. Israel launched the war in Gaza after Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting another 250 . Around 100 hostages are still inside Gaza, at least a third of whom are believed to be dead. Here’s the Latest: BEIRUT — An Israeli airstrike killed the director of a university hospital and six others at his home in northeastern Lebanon, state media said. The strike targeted Dr. Ali Allam’s house near Dar Al-Amal Hospital, the largest health center in Baalbek-Hermel province, which has provided vital health services amid Israel's campaign of airstrikes, the Health Ministry said. State-run media reported that the strike came without warning. The ministry described his death as a “great loss,” and provincial governor Bachir Khodr said in a post on X that, “Mr. Allam was one of the best citizens of Baalbek.” In two separate episodes on Friday, Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed five paramedics with Hezbollah's medical arm, the Health Ministry said, describing it as “war crime.” The militant group provides extensive social services, including running schools and health clinics. In a report published Friday, the World Health Organization said nearly half of all attacks on health care in Lebanon since Oct. 7, 2023, have resulted in fatalities. “This is a higher percentage than in any active conflict today across the globe,” WHO said. In Lebanon, 226 health workers and patients were killed and 199 were injured between Oct. 7, 2023, and Nov. 18, 2024, the report said. The Health Ministry said Friday that 3,645 people have been killed in nearly 14 months of war between Hezbollah and Israel, while 15,356 were wounded, the majority following Israel’s escalation in late September. The death count includes 692 women and 231 children. DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli strikes hit Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of the few hospitals still partially operating in the northernmost part of Gaza, wounding six medical staff and damaging its generator and oxygen systems, its director said Friday. Hossam Abu Safiya said the strikes before dawn Friday hit the entrance of the emergency unit as well as in the hospital courtyard. He said two members of the nursing staff suffered critical injuries. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military. Abu Safiya said the strikes caused damage to the functioning of the generator and disrupted oxygen supplies. The hospital is currently treating 85 wounded, 14 children in the pediatric ward and four newborns in the neonatal unit, he said. During the past month, Kamal Adwan Hospital has been hit several times, was put under siege and was raided by Israeli troops, who are waging a heavy offensive in the nearby Jabaliya refugee camp and towns of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya. The Israeli military says it detained Hamas fighters hiding in the hospital, a claim its staff denies. UNITED NATIONS – Two rockets hit a headquarters of the U.N. peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, injuring four Italian peacekeepers, the United Nations says. U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said the rockets were likely launched by Hezbollah militants or by affiliated groups Friday, impacting a bunker and a logistics area in the southwest headquarters at Chamaa. One of the structures that was hit caught fire, and the blaze was swiftly put out by U.N. staff, he said. According to Italy’s Defense Ministry, some glass shattered due to the explosion, hitting the four soldiers. Dujarric said the four injured peacekeepers were receiving treatment at the medical facility of the mission, known as UNIFIL. “Thankfully, none of the injuries are life-threatening,” he said. Italy’s Defense Minister Guido Crosetto called the attack on the UNIFIL base “intolerable.” He reiterated that the Italian contingent remains in southern Lebanon “to offer a window of opportunity for peace, and cannot become hostage to militia attacks.” Dujarric said Friday’s attack was the third on Chamaa in a week and came amid heavy shelling and ground skirmishes in the Chamaa and Naqoura areas in recent days. UNIFIL’s main headquarters is in Naqoura. Friday’s attack follows a rocket attack on a UNIFIL base east of the village of Ramyah on Tuesday that injured four peacekeepers from Ghana. Dujarric said UNIFIL strongly urges Hezbollah and its affiliates and Israel to avoid fighting near its positions, which are supposed to be protected. “We remind all parties that any attack against peacekeepers constitutes a serious violation of international law” and the U.N. Security Council resolution that ended the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war, he said. BEIRUT — Israeli airstrikes hit Beirut’s southern suburbs and the southern port city of Tyre on Friday, after the Israeli army issued several evacuation warnings saying it is targeting Hezbollah sites. The strikes in Beirut came dangerously close to central Beirut and Christian neighborhoods. One strike hit a building housing a gym and medical and beauty clinics, located just meters (yards) from a Lebanese army base. “What is there in the building to target? This attack they carried out on us in this building is a criminal and vile act,” resident Hassan Najdi told The Associated Press. “Because if their intention is targeting Hezbollah, this building has nothing to do with Hezbollah.” Najdi said he purchased an apartment in the building last year but had not yet moved in. He allowed a displaced family to move in and urgently asked them to evacuate after receiving the Israeli warning. The blasts sent plumes of smoke into the air and shattered glass in the vicinity. No casualties have been reported, but the strikes caused damage to nearby infrastructure and a key road connecting central Beirut to its southern suburbs. “We remain steadfast,” said Ali Daher, an employee at a mall facing the targeted building. “Everything that is lost can be replaced, and whatever is destroyed can be rebuilt in (no time).” In Tyre city, the Israeli military conducted multiple airstrikes after a series of warnings, claiming the targets belonged to Hezbollah’s Aziz unit, accusing it of firing projectiles into Israel. The Israeli military carried out other airstrikes across Lebanon, many without warnings, as heavy fighting between Israeli troops and Hezbollah in villages along the Lebanon-Israel border intensified. ROME — Italy said Friday it plans to discuss the arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court over the Israel-Hamas war when it hosts Group of Seven foreign ministers next week. Premier Giorgia Meloni insisted that one point remained clear for Italy: “There can be no equivalence between the responsibilities of the state of Israel and the terrorist organization of Hamas.” Italy is a founding member of the court and hosted the 1998 Rome conference that gave birth to it. But Meloni’s right-wing government has been a strong supporter of Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, while also providing humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza. In a statement Friday, Meloni said Italy would study the reasonings behind the decision to issue arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister and Hamas’ military chief. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Italy respects the ICC and supports it. “But at the same time we are also convinced that the court must have a judicial role, and should not take up a political role.” Tajani will host G7 foreign ministers Monday and Tuesday outside Rome for the final meeting of the Italian G7 presidency. “As far as decisions are concerned, we will take them together with our allies,” Tajani said. During the G7 meetings, “we will talk about this with my allies there, and we will see what to do next.” Another member of the governing coalition, the outspoken Transport Minister Matteo Salvini was more defiant in supporting Israel. “If Netanyahu comes to Italy he will be welcomed,” Salvini was quoted by Italian media as saying. This item has been updated to correct that Salvini spoke of a potential Netanyahu visit to Italy, not Israel. ROME — Four Italian soldiers were slightly injured after two exploding rockets hit the United Nations' peacekeeping mission base on Friday in Chamaa in southern Lebanon, Italy's defense ministry said. Initial information suggested that two rockets hit a bunker and a room of the mission base, damaging the surrounding infrastructure, the ministry said. Shattered glass hit the four soldiers. The incident was the latest in which UN peacekeeping posts have been hit since Israel began its ground invasion of Lebanon on Oct. 1, leaving a number of peacekeepers wounded. Defence Minister Guido Crosetto called Friday's attack “intolerable.” He said he will try to speak to the new Israeli Defense Minister to ask him “to avoid using the UNIFIL bases as a shield.” Crosetto said the conditions of the four Italian soldiers “did not cause concern.” He reiterated that the Italian contingent remains in southern Lebanon “to offer a window of opportunity for peace and cannot become hostage to militia attacks.” Italy’s Premier Giorgia Meloni on Friday said she learned about the new attack with “deep indignation and concern.” Meloni reiterated that “such attacks are unacceptable,” renewing her appeal for the parties on the ground “to guarantee, at all times, the safety of UNIFIL soldiers and to collaborate to quickly identify those responsible.” GENEVA — The World Health Organization says nearly half of the attacks on health care in Lebanon have been deadly since the Middle East conflict erupted in October last year, the highest such rate anywhere in the world. The U.N. health agency says 65 out of 137, or 47%, of recorded “attacks on health care” in Lebanon over that time period have proven fatal to at least one person, and often many more. WHO’s running global tally counts attacks, whether deliberate or not, that affect places like hospitals, clinics, medical transport, and warehouses for medical supplies, as well as medics, doctors, nurses and the patients they treat. Nearly half of attacks on health care in Lebanon since last October and the majority of deaths occurred since an intensified Israeli military campaign began against Hezbollah militants in the country two months ago. The health agency said 226 health workers and patients have been killed and 199 injured in Lebanon between Oct. 7, 2023 and this Monday. JERUSALEM — Israel’s new defense minister said Friday that he would stop issuing warrants to arrest West Bank settlers or hold them without charge or trial — a largely symbolic move that rights groups said risks emboldening settler violence in the Israeli-occupied territory. Israel Katz called the arrest warrants “severe” and said issuing them was “inappropriate” as Palestinian militant attacks on settlers in the territory grow more frequent. He said settlers could be “brought to justice” in other ways. The move protects Israeli settlers from being held in “administrative detention,” a shadowy form of incarceration where people are held without charge or trial. Settlers are rarely arrested in the West Bank, where settler violence against Palestinians has spiraled since the outbreak of the war Oct. 7. Katz’s decision was celebrated by far-right coalition allies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. National Security Minister and settler firebrand Itamar Ben-Gvir applauded Katz and called the move a “correction of many years of mistreatment” and “justice for those who love the land.” Since Oct. 7, 2023, violence toward Palestinians by Israeli settlers has soared to new heights, displacing at least 19 entire Palestinian communities, according to Israeli rights group Peace Now. In that time, attacks by Palestinian militants on settlers and within Israel have also grown more common. An increasing number of Palestinians have been placed in administrative detention. Israel holds 3,443 administrative detainees in prison, according to data from the Israeli Prison Service, reported by rights group Hamoked. That figure stood around 1,200 just before the start of the war. The vast majority of them are Palestinian, with only a handful at any given time Israeli Jews, said Jessica Montell, the director of Hamoked. “All of these detentions without charge or trial are illegitimate, but to declare that this measure will only be used against Palestinians...is to explicitly entrench another form of ethnic discrimination,” said Montell. BERLIN — A German official has suggested that his country would be reluctant to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court. The ICC’s warrants for Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant put Germany, a staunch ally of Israel, in an awkward position. The government said in a statement Friday that it is one of the ICC’s biggest supporters, but “at the same time, it is a consequence of German history that unique relations and a great responsibility connect us with Israel.” The government said it takes note of the arrest warrants and that “we will examine conscientiously the domestic steps.” It said that any further steps would only be an issue if a visit by Netanyahu or Gallant were “foreseeable.” Government spokesperson Steffen Hebestreit was pressed repeatedly at a regular news conference on whether it would be conceivable to arrest an Israeli prime minister. He replied: "It’s hard for me to imagine that we would carry out arrests in Germany on this basis.” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov on Friday refused to comment on the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others, saying that the court's rulings are “insignificant” for Russia, which doesn’t recognizes the court’s jurisdiction. The ICC last year issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and a number of other top Russian officials, accusing them of war crimes in Ukraine. The Kremlin has brushed off the warrants, saying that in Moscow’s eyes they’re “null and void.” Asked if the ICC warrants for Netanyahu and others can help resolve the tensions in the Middle East, Peskov said: “Well, in general, the actions of the ICC are unlikely to help anything. That’s the first thing. And secondly, we don’t see any point in commenting on this in any way, because for us these rulings are insignificant.” DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Large crowds of displaced people crammed themselves in front of a bakery in the Gaza Strip for the second day in a row, desperate to get their share of bread after bakeries closed for five days due to a flour shortage and the lack of aid. “I am a 61-year-old man. This is the third day that I have come to Zadna Bakery and I still cannot get bread ... I have children to feed,” said Majdi Yaghi, a displaced man from Gaza City. The price of a small bag of pita bread increased to $16 by Friday, a stark increase from about 80 cents last month. A bag of pasta now costs $4 and a small bag of sugar costs nearly $14. That has left many Palestinian families surviving on one meal a day and reliant on charitable kitchens to survive. In Khan Younis, women and children lined up at the al-Dalu charitable kitchen for bulgur, the only food available at the makeshift charity. One of the workers there, Anas al-Dalu, told the AP that they cook ten pots every day of either rice, beans, or bulgur. But that hardly fills the need for the thousands of people displaced in the area. “The charity here is in a difficult situation. It is a drop in the ocean, and there is no aid or charities. There is nothing," said Nour Kanani, a displaced man from Khan Younis. “It is a crisis in every sense of the word. There is no flour, no charities, and no food.” BEIRUT — Israeli troops fought fierce battles with Hezbollah fighters on Friday in different areas in south Lebanon, including a coastal town that is home to the headquarters of U.N. peacekeepers. A spokesperson for the U.N. peacekeeping force known as UNIFIL told The Associated Press that they are monitoring “heavy clashes” in the coastal town of Naqoura and the village of Chamaa to the northeast. UNIFIL’s headquarters are located in Naqoura in Lebanon’s southern edge close to the border with Israel. “We are aware of heavy shelling in the vicinity of our bases,” UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti said. Asked if the peacekeepers and staff at the headquarters are safe, Tenenti said: “Yes for the moment.” Several UNIFIL posts have been hit since Israel began its ground invasion of Lebanon on Oct. 1, leaving a number of peacekeepers wounded.First Flying Electric Ferry in the U.S. is Coming to Lake TahoeFrom Charles Town: Trump, through threat of tariffs, has gotten the attention of our nation’s antagonists — everyone from Mexico to Canada over borders, China and Russia on trade and threats of war, including Ukraine issue, and Iran. Now, all the manufactured legal issues are dismissed, ending the unconstitutional “lawfare” that has cost taxpayers over $50M. If Trump can get all this accomplished before inauguration, think of what is to come. From Charles Town: Where is Harris? Hawaii on extended vacation? Walz is MIA. After over spending on election bid, campaign workers are being summarily dismissed without pay. The DNC union will not be paying severance packages. Donors are refusing to bail the DNC out, because they lost, catastrophically. Does this mean the financial collapse of the Democrat political machine?

Get ready for price increases on goods from Mexico and Canada. He promises a 25% tariff on all imports from them. You think vehicles are expensive now, just wait. Who’s going to harvest fruits and vegetables, when he deports all the immigrants? Not Americans. Food costs are going to be out of sight. From Martinsburg: Tom Homan, President-elect Trump’s pick for “border czar,” says he is willing to use extra-judicial processes to put Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (D) in jail. That is funny. However, it is not the way patriotic and law-bidding Americans talk. How would Homan like it if other Americans were to threaten him and his family with extra-judicial processes that would permanently affect all of their lives? Unlike Trumpers, real Americans believe in the freedoms and liberties defined by the U.S. Constitution. From Martinsburg: When will the citizens be given an update on the asbestos abatement at the public library on the square? We were originally told it would be closed for a year, and it doesn’t look as though they’re making any progress whatsoever.

Allegheny County Council member proposes tax-hike compromise as deadline approaches

Bishop Amat got the splash hire it wanted, naming one of its all-time greats, Kory Minor, to be its next head football coach on Monday, the school announced through a press release. “Coach Minor shares the vision of Bishop Amat’s administration and athletic department to elevate the program to new heights,” Bishop Amat president Richard Beck wrote. Minor graduated at Bishop Amat in 1995 and was recruited by Lou Holtz to Notre Dame, where he played from 1995-98. He was a seventh-round draft pick in the 1999 NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers and played 30 games in four seasons for the Carolina Panthers. While at Bishop Amat Minor was one of the top linebackers in the country, and named to the school’s Hall of Fame. Minor won a CIF-SS Division 1 championship with Amat in 1992 and his 1994 squad was ranked No. 1 in the country before a loss to Mater Dei in the Division 1 championship game. Minor, who played with other Amat greats like Daylon McCutcheon and Ralph Brown II, had 20 1/2 sacks his senior year and was named the USA Today defensive player of the year. Former coach Steve Hagerty resigned last month after 17 years at the school . Hagerty’s team’s won five league championships and he finished with a 118-6-1 record. But back-to-back losing season’s for the first time in Amat history steered Hagerty to walk away, saying, “I no longer believe I’m the guy.” Amat was 2-8 this past season and missed the playoffs. “Steve Hagerty is a phenomenal man,” Minor said. “He mentored many kids who have gone on to do big things. I’ve got big shoes to fill, but we’re going to get to work.” Hagerty’s decision to leave opened the door for Minor, who has long coveted this opportunity and who Bishop Amat targeted immediately. “It’s crazy, my mom has been praying for this for 20 years, she’s so excited,” Minor said. “For me it means a lot. I went to Amat as a young man and the community of Amat, the coaching staff at Amat and the administration all prepared me. I left my senior year as a man and that got me ready for Notre Dame in many aspects.” Minor’s only stint as a high school coach came at St. Margaret’s Episcopal in San Juan Capistrano, where he coached five seasons and led them to four CIF-SS playoff appearances , including the Division 9 championship game in 2021. Minor stepped down following the 2022 season. This past season Minor coached the freshman football team at Charter Oak, where his son Julian Minor was a freshman on the team. Minor said he will leave it up to his son Julian whether he stays and Charter Oak or transfers to Bishop Amat to join him. But Minor admitted, even while at St. Margaret’s where he got his first taste as a high school head football coach, he always hoped this day would come. “For sure, I wanted it to be the right time, and it was the right time and the whole process was seamless,” Minor said. “I’m thankful, honored and have had alumni and friends blowing me up around the country. I’ve got coaches calling me, texting me who want to come play for me and be part of this. I just fee like this was all part of God’s plan.” Bishop Amat is not the powerhouse that Minor remembers in the 1990s. Amat’s last championship came in 1995 and the closest they came since to a Division 1 title was in 2014, when it reached the semifinals. “I’ve been watching, I know what’s been going on here, we’re a proud football family and we talk,” Minor said. “We will get it right, I know we will. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t meant to be. We will have some growing pains but I think we can get back to the 90s when Amat was standing room only.” During the interview process with Bishop Amat’s administration, Minor said they talked about the financial commitment and the commitment from administration that would be necessary to surround himself with a staff and be able to attract players that could lift Amat to its storied past. “We had those conversations (with the administration) and every time is was like ‘Kory we know and Kory we Know.’ That’s why we wanted you,” Minor said. “It’s going to take all of us working together and having the same goals to turn this around.” Minor said the next steps of putting together a staff and vision for his players is what he is relishing. But he also knows the rebuild will not be easy. “Anything that’s worth doing well is challenging, it’s not supposed to be easy,” Minor said. “I’m going to surround our players with coaches that are great men of character, integrity and inspire, that is what produces winning, and that is what it was like when I was here. “That is a culture that’s proven over and over again. I’m a Lou Holtz guy, he was about builders of men. Three words on that statue at Notre Dame that read ... trust, commitment and love. Those three things powered our success, and it’s on us to pass that along to our young players because it’s about them.” In Minor’s conversations with alumni and friends, they all want the same thing. “We’re proud, we know what it takes, and what it could look like when we get there,” Minor said. “When Bishop Amat is rolling, there is no better place to be in the San Gabriel Valley.”

Reps call for resolution to political crisis in South KoreaBOULDER, Colo. — A 72-year-old lifelong Colorado fan with end-stage kidney failure waited to the side of the field in his wheelchair for Travis Hunter and the rest of the Buffaloes. One by one, players strolled over and signed a football for Riley Rhoades, his face lighting up with each signature. Standing close by and taking in the scene was Jeremy Bloom. He's become a wish facilitator for older adults. Bloom, the former Colorado wide receiver and Olympic freestyle skier, started the Wish of a Lifetime foundation in 2008, which has made thousands of aspirations turn into reality for older adults. The list of granted wishes range from taking veterans back to the beaches of Normandy to helping late-in-life authors publish a book. He's staged concerts for musicians, assisted some in daredevil feats such as jumping out of an airplane and even lined up a meeting between an Olympic medalist and former President Barack Obama. For Rhoades, his wish was simply to return to Folsom Field again, the place where he used to have season tickets but hasn't attended a game since 2004. "Everybody has somebody in their life —a grandparent, friend, neighbor — at that age where you wish you had more resources to help," said Bloom, whose college career was cut short two decades ago when the NCAA denied his reinstatement to play football and still ski professionally after receiving endorsement money to fuel his Olympic dreams. "Nothing can compare to seeing someone else's eyes light up because you helped make their dream come true." Granting wishes The foundation is a tribute to his grandparents. But the concept began to take root when he was a teenager. He was in Japan for a World Cup freestyle skiing competition when a woman tried to hop on a crowded bus. There was no room, but everyone in front rose from their seats to make space. That stuck with him, along with seeing these acts of kindness for older adults all over Europe and Asia as he traveled. An idea formed — bring that same level of appreciation to the United States, with a wish-granting element. Bloom's organization has been a charitable affiliate of AARP since 2020. Special moment It was the yearning of Rhoades that brought the two of them to Folsom Field last weekend. Rhoades, who had season tickets at Colorado for 27 years, wanted to see the Buffaloes in person after watching the team's resurgence on television. A few years ago, Rhoades, who was born with spina bifida, was diagnosed with end-stage renal failure. Being among the 54,646 fans Saturday stirred up plenty of emotions for Rhoades, as he watched the 16th-ranked Buffaloes (8-2, 6-1 Big 12, No. 16 CFP) beat Utah. Colorado remains in the race for not only a conference title but a spot in the College Football Playoff. "It's just great to be back here again," Rhoades said as he pointed out the section where he used to watch games. "It's just ... so cool." For Bloom, the success that coach Deion Sanders has brought to the program means more reunions with teammates as they pass through town. "I've been through many years where nobody comes to visit," Bloom said. "It's fun that Boulder has become the epicenter of college football." Paying athletes Leading the way for Colorado this season have been quarterback Shedeur Sanders and two-way star Hunter, who's the Heisman Trophy frontrunner. But what particularly pleases Bloom is that Sanders, Hunter and the rest of college football players are able to finally profit through name, image and likeness. In his day, Bloom got caught in the NCAA crosshairs for wanting to play both sports and to have sponsors in one (skiing) so he could fund his Olympic aspirations. How time have changed. "I'm just really grateful that this generation of athletes gets to monetize their skills and ability," said Bloom, who finished sixth in moguls at the 2006 Winter Games in Italy. "It's the right thing." He's thrown his passion into fulfilling wishes such as learning ballet, riding in a Formula 1 pace car or taking a flight in a fighter jet. He's also helped reconnect families and friends, including a reunion for a trio of centenarian sisters who hadn't seen each other in more than a decade. This granted wish has stuck with Bloom: A person in Alabama wasn't able to travel after being diagnosed with end-of-life emphysema. So he asked for postcards to be sent, just to learn what made someone's town so special. He received 2,000 postcards from 26 different countries. "There's no end to the things that they've done for us in the world," Bloom said of older adults. "We're one of the organizations that reminds them that their dreams still do matter and that we still appreciate them and we cherish them."Roche commences tender offer for all shares of Poseida Therapeutics, Inc. for $9.00 per share in cash, plus a non-tradeable contingent value right for up to $4.00 per share in cash
