NFL owners set to vote on wild new kickoff rule: Here's everything you need to know about the proposal
cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-owners-set-to-vote-on-wild-new-kickoff-rule-heres-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-proposal/
Quick Glance: New NFL Kickoff Format to Promote Increased Returns
- The NFL has approved a change to the kickoff format to encourage more returns. Kickoffs will have a different appearance starting next season as the league's owners have given the green light to the hybrid kickoff model.
- With the new rule, kickers will continue to kick off from their own 35-yard line, while the other 10 members of the kicking team will be positioned at the opposing team's 40-yard line.
- The fresh kickoff rule was designed to promote more returns and reduce injuries on kickoffs, taking inspiration from the XFL's kickoff rule.
- The NFL will implement the new kickoff rule on a one-year basis, with the option to either extend or abolish the rule in 2025, and has also approved other rule changes like moving the trade deadline back by one week to the Tuesday after Week 9.
Israel-Hamas war: UN will vote on US resolution declaring Gaza cease-fire is imperative
apnews.com/article/united-nations-us-vote-gaza-ceasefire-resolution-f6453803b3eacc9fbaa2ce5a025e2a94
Quick Glance: Russia and China Veto US Cease-Fire Resolution
- Russia and China vetoed a U.S.-sponsored UN resolution on Friday calling for an immediate and sustained cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza to protect civilians and enable humanitarian aid for over 2 million hungry Palestinians.
- The resolution reflected a shift in U.S. stance, diverging from much of the world's push for an unconditional end to the fighting.
- While the resolution would have been officially binding, it would not have stopped the fighting or released hostages, but it would have increased pressure on Israel as its closest ally aligns more with global calls for a cease-fire.
- The Security Council had passed two resolutions on the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, but none had called for a cease-fire.

Quick Glance: Appeals Court Decision Reduces Trump's Bond in Fraud Case
- In the New York civil fraud case, it was determined that Donald Trump and his co-defendants now have 10 days to post a $175 million bond, compared to the original $464 million.
- The late ruling from a panel of state Appellate Division judges, all appointed by Democratic governors, represents a significant victory and relief for the former president.
- Trump's legal team had previously stated that obtaining the larger bond was practically impossible. The court's decision also temporarily prevents the New York Attorney General's office from enforcing the judgment.
- Additionally, the court imposed a stay on the part of the initial judgment that restricted Trump from acting as a public officer of a company, as well as prohibitions on other individuals, although not all of Trump's requests were granted.
