Deion Sanders is Sports Illustrated's 2023 Sportsperson of the Year

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:07:38 GMT

The photo shoot was progressing the way they often do, becoming a war of wills pitting the perfectionists with the cameras and the lighting and the smoke machine against the impatient subjects arrayed in front of them. Between poses, Deion Sanders was getting fidgety.The coach of Colorado was surrounded by his people: His agent, the school’s chancellor and athletic director, and 99-year-old superfan Peggy Coppom were among the entourage. As the photo crew pored over details, Sanders lobbed one-liners at his sons—social media maven Deion Jr., Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur and safety Shilo. He wrapped his arm around his daughter, Colorado basketball player Shelomi, kissing her on the temple. He bent over to speak so tiny Peggy could hear him. (Peggy is Deion’s match in terms of personality. “I thought I was coming for the Swimsuit edition,” she said.)But eventually, this shoot at Folsom Field needed to wrap so Coach Prime could get back to coaching. “We’re doing one more shot,” he sai...

Von der Leyen floats fiscal rule reform as ‘game changer’ for EU defense build-up

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:07:38 GMT

BRUSSELS — European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen hinted on Thursday that EU countries boosting their defense spending should have that taken into account when calculating whether they are running an excessive deficit.“Our fiscal framework can and should meet two compatible objectives: ensure sustainable public finances, while also supporting member states’ investment efforts in strategic public goods. And this applies also to defense capabilities,” von der Leyen said in a speech at the European Defence Agency. EU rules limit countries to running a budget deficit of 3 percent of GDP, with a public debt ceiling of 60 percent of GDP. But the COVID pandemic followed by the energy emergency is straining public finances at a time when countries are looking to boost their defense spending — potentially falling afoul of the bloc’s rules.“In the [European] Council, there is now broad support to consider increases in defense spending as a relevant factor w...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:07:38 GMT

It’s owls and the Danube vs. Mozart and Picasso in the showdown of the century.The European Central Bank said on Thursday it has boiled down its shortlist for what to put on the next generation of euro banknotes to two themes: “birds and rivers” and “European culture.”The choice, which confirms what POLITICO reported in September, was taken on the basis of two surveys of the public. In one, commissioned by the ECB and conducted by research firm Kantar, “European culture” was the most popular theme, gaining approval from 21 percent of a 23,000-strong sample, followed by rivers (18 percent) and birds (17 percent). The central bank decided to merge the two themes of birds and rivers in the final shortlist. “We wanted to reflect the preference of the survey results as broadly as possible,” an ECB spokesperson said, pointing out that both themes refer “to nature and the environment.”In a broader survey conducted online by the ECB, in which 365,000 people pa...
