New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s Blue Square Alliance Against Hate, a mission aimed at standing up against Jewish hate, announced a new Super Bowl ad ahead of the game this Sunday in Santa Clara, California.

While Kraft is focused on winning another Super Bowl ring for his franchise, he’s also calling on all Americans to stand up against antisemitism and all forms of hate through a new ad entitled “Sticky Note.”

The ad features a young student who is victimized in the halls of his school for being Jewish, with classmates sticking a degrading, antisemitic note on his backpack without him noticing.

It goes on to show a fellow student silently overlaying the hateful sticky note with one of his own, a blue square. The student also places a similar blue square on his chest and proudly walks alongside the Jewish boy.

“For the third straight year, the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate is proud to show up on sports’ biggest stage and speak directly to more than 120 million Americans with an urgent message: Stand up for each other and stand up to hate wherever you see it,” Kraft said in a statement.

“The Blue Square serves as a symbol of unity and solidarity and for sisterhood and brotherhood at a time in which we need it most.”

Blue Square’s state-by-state assessment shows that 58% of American adults believe that antisemitism is not an issue, while only 32% said they would speak up in the face of antisemitism. This was a decrease from a 2023 assessment.

“Hate will not be defeated unless we take it upon ourselves to stand up to it,” Adam Katz, president of the Blue Square Alliance against Hate, said in a statement. “Our mission at the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate is simply that, to inspire Americans to stand up to hate in their own communities, online and wherever they see it. With this ad, we’re reaching hundreds of millions of Americans and encouraging them to take up this collective mission.

“Together, we can defeat hate in America in all its forms.”

Blue Square has had previous campaigns showcasing powerful ads, including its “When There Are No Words” message that had a heavy impact in October 2025.

During last year’s Super Bowl, Tom Brady and Snoop Dogg were among those featured in “No Reason To Hate.” Blue Square also ran its “Silence” ad during the Super Bowl in 2024.

A new Olympic sport is debuting this month at the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics.

Ski mountaineering combines uphill sprinting (on boots and on skis) and downhill skiing. Although the sport on the global stage is relatively new, it has roots dating to the late 19th century.

Something to know about Olympic skimo: it’s fast, with sprint races lasting about 3 minutes.

How it works

Ski mountaineering will have men’s and women’s sprint events along with a mixed relay.

The race works like this: The racers sprint uphill with skins on the bottom of their skis. A skin is a strip of material that allows for traction going uphill. They then run a section in boots before putting their skis back on to traverse another uphill section.

Once at the top, they take the skins off and race downhill. In the men’s and women’s sprint-event format, there will be a qualifying round where 18 racers qualify over three heats. The top three athletes in each heat advance to the semifinals along with three others based on time.

In the semifinal rounds, two advance along with two more “lucky losers,” which sets up the race for medals.

The mixed relay consists of one female and one male racer from each country. Each will complete two ascents and descents. The female athlete begins, then tags her male teammate for the switch. The team that completes all four laps first wins gold.

Who to watch

The current ski mountaineering sprint champions are Swiss racer Marianne Fatton and Spain’s Oriol Cardona Coll. Another favorite is France’s Emily Harrop, who won the test event at the venue last winter ahead of Fatton.

Venues and dates

The races will be staged in Bormio at the Stelvio Ski Center, with the men’s and women’s sprint events taking place on 19 February.

The mixed relay competition takes place two days later.

Memorable moments

The medal winners will be the first in their sport at the Olympics.

Fun facts

There are penalties in the race for things such as disrespectful behavior, unsportsmanlike conduct, technical errors and equipment that’s missing. The penalties range from a disqualification to adding time.

The first ski mountaineering world championships were held in France in 2002. The sport is presided over by the International Ski Mountaineering Federation (ISMF), representing roughly 55 national federations across five continents.

Ski mountaineering was part of the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne. The sport is proposed for the 2030 Winter Games in the French Alps.

Former Premier League manager Tim Sherwood believes Liverpool and Manchester United could still target Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven

Manchester United have been told why they could have a chance of signing Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven this summer. United had a quiet January transfer window with no new signings arriving at Old Trafford, but it could be a different story in the summer.

Ruben Amorim left the club at the start of January and was subsequently replaced by Michael Carrick, who was named as United’s interim head coach until the end of the season.

It remains to be seen what plans United will have for the summer transfer window, and the Reds have already been linked with a host of potential targets, particularly in midfield.

However, former Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood has argued why Van de Ven, a centre-back, could be a player of interest to United in the summer, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Speaking to CasinoStugan, Tim Sherwood suggested Van de Ven’s Spurss future hinges on his fitness record, while also explaining why United may not be alone in showing an interest in the defender.

“If he proves his fitness, I think there will be a queue around the block for him,” Sherwood said. “Hopefully Tottenham can keep hold of him but you know what it’s like when a player decides he wants to leave. Unfortunately, if you don’t let him go, you’re left without the money and the player in the end.

“People may be shocked by that but it all depends on who they have as manager in the summer because they’ve got it wrong so many times before and it looks like they have got it right at the moment.

“United are a club that can go from where they have been to the top quicker than most because they’ve got the brand power, the money to do it. They can pay the big wages for the big players.

“They missed the boat before. They could have signed Declan Rice and Harry Kane. Instead, they ended up with seven or eight signings who were alright but mostly very poor.

“They won’t want to miss the boat this time on Van de Ven. He will certainly be at the top of a lot of lists at any number of clubs and Tottenham will have to fight tooth and nail to keep hold of him.

“I think the only real way they keep hold of him is if Micky [Van de Ven] decides that there might be a bright future ahead at Tottenham, and right now they’re down in 14th in the Premier League and out of the running for the two domestic cups. They’re flying high in the Champions League but there are stiffer tests to come in that competition.”

Sherwood went on to explain why United’s bitter rivals, Liverpool, could be another club who have an interest in signing Van de Ven. This is despite the Anfield club agreeing a £60million deal with Rennes for centre-back Jeremy Jacquet on deadline day.

“Is Micky van de Ven to Liverpool off? All Micky has got to do is to prove his fitness between now and the end of the season but that will make it very difficult for Tottenham,” Sherwood said.

“Van de Ven is what I call a hierarchy player, players who when they are fit, they will play. They are the players that fans crave, and Tottenham fans want those top players like Harry Kane.

“When he was fit, you knew he was playing, and they’ve only got one of those players at the moment and that’s Micky van de Ven. If he’s fit, he plays. Other than him, Tottenham’s players are all a much of a muchness.

“I think Tottenham have got more chance of keeping Micky van de Ven than they have of bringing in another one of these players. That is the issue.”

Following their win over Indiana on Tuesday night, USC has won consecutive games and three of their last four, with the lone loss during that stretch a tough one-point game at Iowa.

Holding serve at home against an Indiana team ranked 30th in the NET was huge for the Trojans, a team sitting firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble as February gets rolling.

And the importance of the win over another bubble team was not lost on Eric Musselman, who pointed out in the postgame that given the NCAA Tournament implications and Big Ten Standings, “This game is not worth one game.”

In his first four games with the Trojans, he averaged just 23.3 minutes per game. Getting a full run is a promising sign.

And for a USC team on the bubble, getting production from the talented guard as he finds his stride is huge.

Arenas is a bona fide scorer and playmaker who can create his own shot. Moving forward, opponents will have to pay even more attention to Arenas’s offensive prowess—and that should open things even more on the offensive end for the likes of Chad Baker-Mazara and Ezra Ausar.

Baker-Mazara is another guy who can create space for himself on offense. Ausar is athletic in the front court and has reached double figures in 20 of 23 games, including 12 in a row. Adding another scorer also allows Kam Woods to be a true point guard and really play to his strengths.

With Arenas hitting his stride, the Trojans have a chance to make a lot of noise down the stretch.

The lone East Coast trip remaining is the Penn State/Ohio State combo.

The Nittany Lions have been a disaster this season with just one Big Ten win and nine of their 10 wins on the season being Quad 4 wins. The Buckeyes offer SC a chance to steal a road game against another bubble team, albeit in a tough place to pick up a road win.

SAN FRANCISCO – Ever since their Super Bowl victories in the 1990s, the Dallas Cowboys have been the practical definition of mediocre.

The team has yet to make it to an NFC championship game since it won the 1996 Super Bowl three decades ago, but the top receiver from that team, Michael Irvin, sees the vision.

Irvin told Fox News Digital on radio row in San Francisco he recently had dinner with soon-to-be second-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer, and he “love[s] the direction Coach is going in.”

“I love what he’s done with the offense, ’cause we found the offense. Now, we just got to solidify and make sure it gets more consistent. And being able to put up 30, 35 points a game,” Irvin said of the star-studded group that includes Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Javonte Williams.

The defense was the clear weakness throughout this season, but Irvin doesn’t want anyone sleeping on them.

“Now, with Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark up the middle, dude, we got a force coming up the middle of the field. We gotta solidify that defense,” Irvin said.

Then came a bold prediction.

“The Cowboys can be in this game next year. We could be sitting here talking about the Cowboys in this game next year, and I want you to find me and make sure you say to me, ‘You said this. You said, Michael, you said, they could be here.’

“They will be here. I want you to find me.”

Cowboys fans daring enough to ride along with Irvin can do it on Hard Rock Bet, which has had a long-standing relationship with the Hall of Famer.

”It’s home, it’s Florida. I’m from Florida. You look back. I’ve had such a great friendship and alignment with them for so long. I did my Hall of Fame party at the Hard Rock, and, of course, Miami plays at the Hard Rock, so I’m always there with them. There’s a natural partnership,” Irvin said.

Catch and Tame is a tycoon simulator on Roblox in which you throw a lasso to catch animals from different areas of the map. These animals can then be placed at your pen to start generating some income over time. By collecting and using this money, you can purchase better lassos, EXP-gaining food items, and several buildings that’ll help you progress faster.

In this guide, we’ll discuss everything that you must know about this animal-catching game.

Everything that you must know about Catch and Tame

Developed by Manta Games, Catch and Tame allows you to explore a map, throw the Lasso to catch wild animals, Tame them by completing a minigame, and place them on your base to generate income. Here’s everything that’s important to know before you obtain your first animal:

Pen

As you spawn into the game for the first time, you’ll be allotted a pet pen where you can place all your tamed animals. Upon placing, each animal will start generating money with time that you can collect to access several other features.

At the start, you’ll be able to place only eight animals at your base, while this capacity can be increased by upgrading your fence (using the in-game currency) and expanding the base.

Catching and Taming

To catch your first pet, you have to explore the map and search for an animal that falls within your Lasso’s catching power. Next, you have to tap on the Lasso icon, available at the bottom of your screen, and throw it towards the creature to catch it. Once caught, a taming minigame will start in which you have to tap until the meter at the bottom fills up.

Once you’ve tamed the pet, you can move ahead to place it on your pen and start earning money.

Lassos

Near the gate of your base, you’ll find a shop that allows you to purchase Lassos of different strengths. Here’s a list of all the Lasso that you can purchase:

• Basic Lasso
• Rancher’s Rope
• Metal Lasso
• Steelcoil Lasso
• Stormwrangler
• Sunforged Lasso
• Nightveil Lasso
• Voidweave Lasso
• Celestial Tether
• Nebula Lasso
• Fragmented Lasso
• Blackhole Lasso

Buildings

From the shop, you can also purchase some buildings that’ll help you grow faster in this game. Here’s a list of them all:

• Farm House: A farmhouse to store your pets.
• Animal Post: Attach your animals to the post to keep them in place.
• Nursery: Eggs in the nursery hatch 20% faster.
• Trait Machine: Roll for different traits with your pets.
• Legendary Nursery: Eggs in the nursery hatch 50% faster with 10% more luck.
• Cosmic Nursery: Eggs in the nursery hatch 100% faster with 20% more luck and 10% mutation luck.

Food

Feedind food to your animals will help them grow faster by gaining instant EXP. It is another item that you can purchase by accessing the shop near your base. Here’s a list of all the food items that you can purchase:

• Farmers Feed
• Enriched Food
• Hay
• Bone
• Prime Feed
• Steak

Breeding

By tapping on the heart-shaped icon at the bottom of your screen, you can breed two of your pets to obtain an egg. These eggs can then be placed at your base or Nursery to hatch them into rarer animals. You can also tap on the Recipes icon, placed at the left side of your screen, to discover better breeding pairs.
