What a new offense and new receivers means for Ravens star tight end Mark Andrews | ANALYSIS

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 05:53:40 GMT

The NFL offseason is a lot of things, depending on the team. For the Ravens, it’s been a roller coaster.There were notable departures (left guard Ben Powers, defensive end Calais Campbell), significant additions (wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., offensive coordinator Todd Monken) and, of course, the drama that swirled around Lamar Jackson and the organization before they came to terms on a five-year contract extension that reportedly makes him the league’s highest-paid quarterback per year.Then there’s Mark Andrews.Amid all the ups and downs Baltimore has endured — not just in the past five months, but in the past five years — the steadiest influence has been the tight end it selected out of Oklahoma in the third round of the 2018 draft. Andrews has nearly done it all in his career. He was named an All-Pro in 2021 after a 107-catch, 1,361-yard, nine-touchdown season. He’s led the Ravens in targets, catches and receiving yards in three of the past ...

Business confidence turns pessimistic for the first time since 2020

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 05:53:40 GMT

Business confidence among the state’s employers fell last month to the lowest level seen since the height of the pandemic, according to a recent survey of Massachusetts employers.The Associated Industries of Massachusetts, in its monthly Business Confidence Index, says Massachusetts business owners’ faith in the economy plunged half-a-point in May, dropping from 50.1% to 49.6% and continuing a downward trend that first began in November.And while a half point may not sound like a lot, the move is significant as a reading below 50 indicates a pessimistic outlook.“Massachusetts employers turned pessimistic about the economy for the first time since December 2020 last month as the state economy slowed to a crawl and the Federal Reserve continued to raise interest rates,” the survey reads, in part.The index, taken well ahead of Friday’s unexpected report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing the economy had added a further 339,000 jobs and before President Biden’...

Biden, looking to shore up Hispanic support, faces pressure to get 2024 outreach details right

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 05:53:40 GMT

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Joe Biden vowed in 2020 to work “like the devil” to energize Hispanic voters, and flew to Florida seven weeks before Election Day to do just that. But as he stepped to the podium at a Hispanic Heritage Month event near Disney World, Biden declared, “I just have one thing to say” and used his phone to play part of “Despacito.” It was meant as a salute to the singer of the reggaeton hit, Luis Fonsi, who had introduced Biden and cried, “Dance a little bit, Joe.” Still, the gesture triggered swift online backlash from some Hispanics, who saw it as playing to belittling stereotypes — proof that while outreach is important, failing to strike the right cultural tone can undermine such efforts. “The details actually matter for people because it’s respecting their background, respecting their history, respecting their culture,” said Grecia Lima, national political director of Community Change Action. “It’s not an insignificant portion of what ca...
