CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kevin Harvick’s got little time for nostalgia, even as his stellar career winds down with his final NASCAR playoffs.“I mean, I don’t really go through it like that,” the 2014 Cup Series champion said Thursday. “I think for me, it’s all a last, right?”Harvick, 47, has 10 events left before retiring to the TV broadcast booth where he’ll be an analyst for Fox.Harvick didn’t get weepy about his final drive around Daytona last week or any of the venues he has seen for a final time as a driver.Harvick was a young racer with a bit of an edge when he first raced the Cup Series as the late Dale Earnhardt’s replacement at Richard Childress Racing in 2001. Harvick won in Atlanta just three weeks after Earnhardt’s fatal accident.Back then, Harvick didn’t much care whether anyone on or off the track liked or admired him. He only wanted to win. “I wanted them to think about me all the time when I was in front of them, when I w...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:21:19 GMT

Food ads have long made their subjects look bigger, juicier and crispier than they are in real life. But some consumers say those mouthwatering ads can cross the line into deception, and that’s leading to a growing number of lawsuits.Burger King is the latest company in the crosshairs. In August, a federal judge in Florida refused to dismiss a class action lawsuit that claims Burger King’s ads overstate the amount of meat in its Whopper burger and other sandwiches.But Burger King is far from the only one. Perkins Coie, a law firm that tracks class action suits, said 214 were filed against food and beverage companies in 2022 and 101 were filed in the first six months of this year. That’s a huge increase from 2010, when just 45 were filed.Pooja Nair, who represents food and beverage companies as a partner with the Beverly Hills, California-based law firm Ervin Cohen and Jessup, said waves of class action lawsuits started hitting federal courts a few years ago.Some of the first were fa...

Trump pleads not guilty in Georgia election case, seeks to sever his case

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:21:19 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday and sought to sever his case from some other defendants who are accused along with him of illegally trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee had set arraignment hearings on Sept. 6 for Trump and the 18 others charged in the case. Trump's court filing entering a not guilty plea also waived arraignment, meaning he won’t have to show up for that.The decision to skip an in-person appearance averts the dramatic arraignments that have accompanied the three other criminal cases Trump faces, in which the Republican former president has been forced amid tight security into a courtroom and entered “not guilty” pleas before crowds of spectators. Georgia courts have fairly permissive rules on news cameras in the courtroom, and this means Trump won't have to enter a plea on television.Trump and 18 others were charged earlier this month in a 41-count in...

The team's playoff drought goes back even further. 5 things to know about the 2023 Denver Broncos But this year, with the help of Sean Payton calling the shots from the sideline, the expectations are much higher."Sean Payton's ground-based offensive schemes provide the foundation for fixing Russell Wilson, who's coming off the worst season of his career under Nathanial Hackett, who proved way in over his head as a first-time head coach last year, one who didn't even make it through his first season," an analysis by the Associated Press said. It's not all rosy though."The Broncos have paid hefty prices for both Wilson and Payton, parting with five premium draft picks combined. Without those three first-round and pair of second-round...
