The “I Think You Should Leave” star cements his status as a modern comedy genius with writer/director Andrew DeYoung even existing fans of Robinson’s work aren’t prepared for what he’s done with the showstopper of a film What begins with the duo bonding over a short period comes to an abrupt end when Austin says he doesn’t actually want to be friends with Craig after a weird night of drinking singing Ghost Town DJ’s one-hit wonder “My Boo” and boxing in the garage with the boys He’ll desperately try to recreate what he had with Austin and may just destroy both their lives in the process While some of this has been described as an extended version of an “I Think You Should Leave” sketch this does the film a disservice as what DeYoung and Robinson have created together is something all its own Where that show was about more quick editing and often something closer to parody “Friendship” takes its comedy very seriously with each bit breaking apart any expectations you may have for them Spelling out any of these jokes would only take away from how witheringly funny they are but everything from the off-kilter character interactions to a side-splitting punchline involving a certain fast food chain absolutely kills he wanted it to be shot like “The Master.” While “Friendship” isn’t quite on that level but embraces the humorous juxtapositions that come from Robinson’s unrelenting absurdity and the sinister dread of some of the visuals with Rudd and Mara each proving excellent in how they play off of the strangeness being trapped with Craig is like being stuck in a horror film Whether you consider it a satire of the standard type of comedy about dopey dudes who are actually potentially destructive to themselves and those around them or a biting commentary about a distinctly modern crisis in masculinity one thing is certain: “Friendship” is the funniest film of the year by a wide margin Not only does it prove once again that Robinson is one of the most talented comedic voices of his generation but it shows DeYoung is a filmmaker worth seeing with whatever he does next as well You won’t want to become friends with Craig after this but may neither of the maniacs bringing him to life ever change Here’s hoping their collaboration is the beginning of a beautiful friendship “Friendship” hits theaters on Friday Exclusive: BBC presenter warns ‘shared space for national debate’ at risk from platforms that fail to challenge leaders Fawning and partisan podcasts that give politicians hours of unchallenged airtime pose a danger to democracy, Nick Robinson has said as he warned that Britain must guard against going down the same polarised route as US media The BBC presenter said a “nostalgia brigade” pining after confrontational television interviews, in which Brian Walden grilled Margaret Thatcher and Jeremy Paxman took on Michael Howard had lost sight of the real danger in how politicians now used the media He pointed to partisan or obsequious media platforms that risked damaging “a shared space for a national debate” chummy interviews on favoured networks or favoured platforms – the people who want to avoid scrutiny altogether and just broadcast a speech or an interview on YouTube or their social media channel,” he said “Britain could easily go down the route of the United States in which people are shoved into partisan silos It’s a danger not because it’s a threat to the BBC; it’s about democracy Is there a shared space for a national debate People might shout at the radio and television asking: ‘Why didn’t you ask that?’ or: ‘You should have been harder,’ or: ‘Why are you so rude to my guy?’ But you see people who want control over your lives quizzed and questioned who presents BBC Radio 4’s Today programme after years as its political editor said long-form political interviews were not dead he said they needed to adapt to a new media landscape in which politicians could simply ignore hard outings and choose from an array of media platforms that’s the giveaway: somebody I had barely heard of – and I was a proper political journalist The reason Jeremy had to rough up a junior Treasury minister is because other people wouldn’t come on Robinson said his Political Thinking podcast more conversational exchanges with politicians The podcast is to be broadcast regularly on BBC Two at Friday lunchtimes The move reflects a wider trend in which podcasts morph into television with popular shows viewed via streaming services Podcasts have become increasingly influential in US politics. Donald Trump’s three-hour appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast before the US presidential election has now amassed 58m views on YouTube Robinson said he had asked himself whether his more conversational format risked giving politicians a way to avoid the BBC’s flagship interview – the Today programme’s 8.10am slot he said there was no evidence so far that they were dodging it the danger that we’ve all got to be alert to is that you just choose your favoured partisan [outlet],” he said Either you’ve got partisan people who literally just are your cheerleaders or you’ve got creeps – they’re not necessarily your supporters but they just want to be in with whoever’s in power “I get abuse on Twitter: ‘You’re no – insert name of great interviewer.’ It’s not going to be the same again The world has changed … What the BBC is trying to do is to say we can learn from the fact that we’re in a competitive market in which politicians don’t have to appear – that they have stories to tell Robinson also denied there had been a falling out with his fellow Today presenter Emma Barnett after reports that the pair had barely appeared alongside each other this year and we will all present with each other from now on,” he said The 'Queens Court' star tells PEOPLE how her 27-year-old son Nathan Vinson is the Weekend Audience Editor for PEOPLE.com where he oversees PEOPLE's social media channels newsletters and notifications over the weekend He has been working for the brand since 2022 Phillip Faraone/Getty for Kershaw's Challenge Atlanta Falcons rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr pinpoints a CLUTCH fourth-down touchdown fastball to Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts with elite accuracy After a hot start to his NFL career, Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has cooled off the past three seasons struggling to consistently contribute in the offense But when asked this week by the Waterboyz Show podcast crew about Pitts' play Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson said that he believes the time is right for the tight end to see significant growth in 2025 "I'm expecting Kyle to take a big jump," Robinson said Year 2 of understanding what we're trying to do offensively so expecting a lot of good things from Kyle He knows what he needs to work on with the details those are things we talk about with him and (tight ends coach Kevin) Koger talks about with him all the time is those finer details and that next level that he can take as a player can't wait to get on the field with him and that's going to be a lot of fun to see his growth." Taken at No. 4 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft the highest a tight end has ever been drafted in NFL history Pitts has had pressure to produce from the moment he joined the Falcons He initially delivered in a big way, putting together a historic rookie season that featured 68 receptions for 1,026 yards and a touchdown, averaging 15.1 yards per catch and earning a Pro Bowl selection. He became just the second rookie tight end in NFL history to tally a 1,000-yard season But Pitts has not been able to get close to that performance again, recording 1,625 yards in total in the past three seasons and never finishing with more than 667 yards. It certainly didn't help that his 2022 season was hampered by and then cut short by injury, notably a season-ending torn MCL and that Atlanta has switched things up at offensive coordinator and multiple times at quarterback since that first year Despite Pitts struggling to regain his rookie form, the Falcons still picked up his fifth-year option last offseason trusting that their prized young weapon could regain his footing with consistency around him And with Atlanta settling into the second year of Robinson's offensive scheme and hoping to start 2025 with more clarity at QB after Michael Penix Jr.'s late-season ascension the OC believes that time is now for Pitts Adding on motivation for the tight end is his status entering a contract year as he looks to secure that all-important second deal by showing out in 2025. Head coach Raheem Morris has already said this offseason that he wants to see the “best version” of Pitts this year and that the team was working to figure out what was needed to get that out of him With other young contributors Bijan Robinson and Drake London coming off of career years in 2024 adding a resurgent Pitts to the offensive equation could be just what the Falcons need to contend in the NFC South once again Former New York Jets and Cleveland Browns receiver Elijah Moore has played with a trove of quarterbacks in his four-year career The Las Vegas Raiders drafted Montana State's Tommy Mellott in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft The plan is to use the rookie in a variety of ways The Baltimore Ravens on Monday released veteran kicker Justin Tucker who currently is the subject of an NFL investigation into allegations of improper conduct during massage therapy sessions Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams finalized terms on a pact that pays the Super Bowl-winning quarterback $44 million for the 2025 season NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Monday NFL.com keeps you up to date with all of the latest league news from around the NFL Visit NFL.com's transaction hub for a daily breakdown Julian Edelman's place in Patriots history will be officially immortalized in 2025 The longtime New England receiver has been voted into the Patriots' Hall of Fame by fans as its 37th inductee Cleveland Browns linebacker Devin Bush was arrested Sunday on simple assault and harassment charges in Pennsylvania The 26-year old was arrested in Bell Acres in Allegheny County Seattle Seahawks third-round quarterback Jalen Milroe entered the NFL with an enticing athletic profile but lingering questions about his accuracy as a passer It's something the rookie is already out to correct The Baltimore Ravens drafted kicker Tyler Loop in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft Longtime kicker Justin Tucker is under investigation for potential improper conduct The Los Angeles Rams remain one of the potential landing spots for star corner Jalen Ramsey Rams head coach Sean McVay didn't downplay the club's interest in a reunion Cornerback was viewed as one of Green Bay’s top long-term needs entering the draft, but the Packers waited until round seven to address the position for the third straight draft taking Tulane’s Micah Robinson with their penultimate pick The 23-year-old spent four years at Furman before transferring to Tulane for his final college season Robinson was not even ranked on the consensus big board he is not a traditional Packers cornerback Robinson is the lightest cornerback Brian Gutekunst has drafted in his tenure one pound lighter than Shemar Jean-Charles whom he admitted after the draft was a significant outlier for them based on how they usually operate Robinson scored a 6.77 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) out of a possible 10 He ran a blazing 4.38 40-yard dash at his pro day He also earned a "good" explosion grade via the vert and broad jumps but had a "poor" grade for size and agility including a short shuttle time which ranked in just the eighth percentile Gutekunst spoke about why he made an exception for Robinson telling the media: “He doesn’t have elite size but his speed and his ability as an athlete to stay with guys the hips and the speed kind of overrode that and made us want to take a shot on him." The jump in competition from Furman to Tulane was a great decision by Robinson, who enjoyed his best college season with the Green Wave in 2024 He had an 80.7 PFF coverage grade and a 90 run defense grade Robinson displayed excellent ball skills in college with seven interceptions in his final three seasons Gutekunst said: “He took a step up from Furman to Tulane and played really As he gets more reps against better competition I think he’s going to continue to improve." It is easy to see the physical tools which attracted the Packers to Robinson on his tape The 4.38 speed is real and allows him to easily run with receivers deep downfield Robinson’s athleticism gets him out of compromised positions makes up for him taking a false step or turning the wrong way and also allows him to take more risks; he can guess on a route and be ready to jump it he can still turn and get back in position in time He shows the ability to trust his speed and not open up too early anticipating a receiver running deep Robinson has the benefit of letting the route play out for an extra tick before having to make his decision Robinson has enough twitch to stop and start with receivers and can also fire downhill towards the ball on routes broken off underneath He looks smooth and comfortable in his backpedal and turns or flips his hips easily enough when required Robinson uses physicality to his advantage in coverage putting his hands on receivers and not letting them get going or squeezing them towards the sideline on go routes Robinson has “great feet," and is able to mirror receivers off the line as well as jam them effectively with a firm punch plastering in tight areas like the red zone often giving opponents a shove at the end of plays He plays with focus and is clearly mentally engaged on every play which helps him stay with corners late in the play on scramble drills or trail routes effectively even when he has to fight through traffic to get them picked up ready to come down in run support and refusing to accept being blocked by receivers He is a willing tackler but also comes to balance especially in the open field when he knows missing the tackle could be catastrophic Robinson has 226 box safety snaps on his college resume showing how he was trusted in run defense and also some potential versatility at the next level There are plenty of tools to work with in coverage but Robinson is not consistent enough in using them at the moment He needs to have more trust in his athleticism as at times he looks jumpy or on edge when in coverage He is too reactive to the eye candy receivers present biting on head fakes or generally buying whatever they sell Receivers in the NFL are smarter than the ones he faced and it will be all too easy for them to manipulate him and get him to do whatever they want Robinson turns the wrong way too often and ends up having to do a full 360 spin to get back in phase His speed and athleticism have allowed him to make up for this so far but whether that will be the case as a professional is a different question Double moves can make him bite very hard and ultimately get beat deep and he can also open up his hips too early which he does not need to do with his speed leaving him vulnerable to routes being broken off underneath Robinson plays a bit too far off at times and allows easy short completions While he is a reliable presence in the run game and he lacks some stopping power in his tackling The transfer to Tulane helped Robinson get exposure against better competition but it is still not an especially high level He also has essentially no slot experience which is not ideal for an undersized corner Robinson has consistently played well against every level of competition he has faced still improved in 2024 while making a step up in class He may hit a ceiling quickly at the NFL level but equally is a worthwhile dart throw in round seven and could continue to increase his level of performance as he gets acclimated to the ultimate step up A veteran industrial real

Thursday, Irish receivers coach Mike Brown made the trip down to check in on 2026 Texas receiver Brayden Robinson‍ just talking about life,” Robinson said of himself and Brown but just making sure everything is good personally.” Robinson has been a high priority for the Irish for months and even with two commits in the fold at the position for the Irish now with Dylan Faison‍ and Bubba Frazier‍ Notre Dame continues to make it known how valued Robinson is “It feels great,” said Robinson “It feels like I'm still a priority for them The message from the Irish to the 5-foot-8 165-pound speedster has been a consistent one “That they need speed and they feel like with my versatility I can bring a lot to the table,” Robinson said of what he’s heard from Brown.  “He sees me as a true receiver despite me being a shorter guy and stuff like that.” Robinson said he “most definitely” sees what Notre Dame is talking about regarding his on-field fit.  “I've seen how they used Tre Tucker when they were in Cincinnati,” he said referring to the current Las Vegas Raiders receiver who was coached by Brown and Irish offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock in college “That's somebody with a similar playing style as me in the same offense with Coach Denbrock so I don't see why I couldn't.” who has made two trips to South Bend this year was at Miami for a recent unofficial visit.  “Obviously you're in a great city but the people definitely made it more memorable It definitely exceeded my expectations going into the visit.” The Hurricanes definitely opened his eyes and joined the Irish at the top of his board.  “I feel like Miami and Notre Dame are 1A and 1B right now,” he said Robinson will announce his college decision on his mother’s birthday he’ll take official visits to Notre Dame He’s looking to get a feel for more than football on his next trip to South Bend “There's really nothing to see from the football aspect I want to make sure I get the right feel for everything That's what it's going to come down to; just seeing how I vibe around the coaching staff and the players.” Want the latest scoop on the Fighting Irish?

player Atlanta was hoping for But the Falcons still believe Pitts can become an elite complete tight end — and not just a receiver who has tight end size Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson told The Waterboyz Show that in his offense and is continuing to develop a tight end-specific skill set “Kyle is a tight end first,” Robinson said He played with his hand in the dirt more than he had in the past last year We want to continue to develop his tight end skills because we want to split him out to get him away from the core and do some of those things.” Robinson said he and Falcons tight ends coach Kevin Koger work diligently with Pitts to make him the tight end their offense needs “Year Two of understanding what we’re trying to do offensively those are things we talk about with him and Coach Koger talks about with him all the time is those finer details and that next level that he can take as a player can’t wait to get on the field with him and that’s going to be a lot of

State University—to receive an honorary doctorate during the Spring 2025 Commencement One of the few African American women in America to have served as a Chief Information Officer for multiple Fortune 500 companies Robinson’s story is not just one of professional excellence—it’s a testament to purpose in a household where education wasn’t just encouraged—it was expected taught junior and senior English literature they were prominent educators and leaders in their community “They taught me that education was both a privilege and a calling—a tool not only for personal growth “They instilled in me values that have remained my compass to this day: faith in God and an unshakable belief in the power of being a life-long learner.” I gravitated toward math and science classes because they offered a sense of order and discovery,” she recalls Her curiosity found direction thanks to a high school math teacher who recognized her potential “I had a high school math teacher who encouraged me to pursue more advanced studies and who saw in me a future that I hadn’t yet imagined That teacher went on to nominate her for an Early Admissions program at the University of Southwest Louisiana during the summer of her junior year “That was my 1st Computer programming course I was instantly hooked—and that was the moment I realized technology could be my future!” Robinson enrolled at Grambling State University the following year as the institution introduced a dual degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science “It wasn’t lost on me that I didn’t see many people who looked like me in those workspaces,” she says Grambling became a place of personal transformation as well as academic growth Robinson fondly recalls late nights in Adams Hall dorm and the friendships that turned into lifelong family-by-choice relationships She describes being initiated into Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and being elected Delta Iota Chapter President as a defining moment that taught her the power of sisterhood Perhaps most meaningful of all was meeting her husband The two graduated together in 1972 and married that same year has navigated life’s challenges and opportunities with a steadfast commitment to grow and serve Robinson also credits several influential faculty members with helping shape her academic direction and professional future “I had professors who saw me—who pushed me to go beyond what was expected Their belief in my potential was transformative,” she shares “I continue to have profound gratitude to Dr who expected me to better than the day before They wholeheartedly made my exposure to IBM happen.” “I also had classmates who were fiercely intelligent and driven—we inspired each other to dream big The sense of community and collective pride remains significant and continues to exist.” Robinson rose through executive ranks at IBM and RR Donnelley—frequently the only Black woman in the room and often the one leading the conversation She drove multimillion-dollar operational efficiencies and built leadership teams that reflected her core values: excellence “There are many proud moments over the course of my corporate and entrepreneurial career,” she says “That’s the kind of legacy I’m proud of—one built not only on transformation and innovation which leads national work in CIO consulting and technology strategy across sectors from healthcare to higher education “I am exceptionally proud of the company we have built and the capacity we have created to drive focused impact.” or redirect you—but your authenticity is your

“Quarterback” for some time now regularly involved in a majority of the team’s scoring conversions then the man they call “C-ROB” in Connor Robinson has been associated with stinging corner from afar courtesy of his nasty cannon of a step-down launcher when Colorado’s regular season slate concluded and things began to shift into offseason mode 96 had more assists than goals for the third-straight season Which isn’t a knock on his goal-scoring totals by any means as he technically outperformed his 18-goal effort and 55-point (18g 37a) performance from a down 2023-24 session Concluding his 2024-25 campaign with 67 points (23g he ranked third on the team in overall scoring trailing a pair of shifty talents in Lee (95 points) and fellow lefty Will Malcom (81 points) And if you know anything about that pair of producers they tend to like to have the ball in their stick more time than not Robinson trailed only Lee’s 59 helpers when it came to dishing out some help now a new career-best feat for the New Westminster Now above 35 assists in three-straight seasons he’s been viewed (and respected) by opposing defenders as both a finisher and creative passer as he continues to improve his game in Colorado Sharing turf time with the likes of Malcom and Eli McLaughlin for a majority of the season who began the season with a rapid goal-scoring pace alongside company including Zed Williams and Ryan Lee and it truly makes Robinson’s continued production shine that much more Originally acquired by the Mammoth from the Saskatchewan Rush nearly five years ago now he’s effectively put his slow start in Saskatoon in the rearview stringing together four consecutive 55-plus-point campaigns Mammoth fans can stay tuned to coloradomammoth.com and Colorado Mammoth social

rental properties residents may have to walk away from their homes because moving them is prohibitive A manufactured home or mobile home is not a trailer; they can’t just be moved from place to place

sell it and not for use as a mobile home park Homeowners could lose their entire investment.” who has visited the homes to meet with constituents notes that they’re nice places to live as well as being affordable which would have required owners of mobile home parks to notify residents and the Mortgage Finance Authority if they planned to sell the park and give residents a chance to buy the property if they can match price and terms of the third-party offer It passed the House 37-26 and died without being heard by the Senate Judiciary Committee Two other housing bills died without being heard by Senate Judiciary: HB 253 would have expunged old eviction records and HB 339 would have forbidden discrimination based on income source such as vouchers Scores of housing bills also fell along the way It was disheartening to housing advocates because the session opened with great promise for housing Two bipartisan bills I liked took aim at housing supply HB 571 would have incentivized municipalities to reform their zoning codes to encourage construction of affordable housing the Governor’s Office on Housing supported it would have made it easier to build multifamily housing in commercial districts and allowed casitas in residential districts It passed the House but died in a Senate committee The only housing bill to become law was SB 267 which requires landlords to disclose

seasons Pitts now rolls into another training camp where yet again there are more questions than answers Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson feels he's got some form of a solution but only if Pitts can find his own sweet spot and master year two within the offensive system The Falcons Podcast: Spotify | Apple Pods | iHeart "I'm expecting Kyle to take a big jump," Robinson told reporters last week Year 2 of understanding what we're trying to do offensively “He knows what he needs to work on with the details those are the things we talk about with him and (tight ends coach Kevin) Koger talks about with him all the time is those finer details and that next level that he can take as a player can't wait to get out on the field with him and that's going to be a lot of fun to see his growth." Pitts impressive 1,000 yard rookie season seems a distant speck in the rear view mirror these days Yet to find Robinson still stressing the importance of Pitts embracing making his own improvements especially when it comes to fundamentals and techniques makes it all sound like it's more than a little past due any player playing on his fifth-year option shouldn't need to be reminded that there needs to be far better levels of consistency to his play The 24-year-old is in a contract year and has more to play for than ever Reason being, after San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle once again reset the tight end market, it would probably mean a big payday looms for Pitts if he rediscovers his rookie form in 2025. OverTheCap projects the franchise tag for tight ends to jump to just over $16 million in 2026 The Falcons made history when they made Pitts the highest drafted tight end of all time with the No. 4 overall pick in 2021 There’s still time to see a positive return on general manager Terry Fontenot’s first draft pick and Falcons fans are hoping the fifth year is the charm KEITH CUMMINGS The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Sports Illustrated or its affiliates All picks and predictions are suggestions only and not a guarantee of success or profit crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Anthony Jerome Grier Sr.  A Celebration of life will be held on Saturday Pastor of the Pinehill Missionary Baptist Church in Phoenix will Officiate and serve as the Eulogist.  Burial will follow at Macon Memorial Park Cemetery Grier leaves to cherish his loving memories: three sons other relatives and friends.  Public viewing will be held on Friday from 5:00PM until 8:00PM at the Funeral Home located 3275 Pio Nono Avenue Get the best experience and stay connected to your community with our Spectrum News app. Learn More The city of Syracuse is mourning the loss of former Common Council President Van Robinson.  Garland Funeral Home confirmed Robinson's death saying he passed away after a long illness.  Robinson served the Syracuse Common Council for nearly two decades.  Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh released a statement following the news of his death saying Robinson played a critical factor in the decision to take down the Interstate 81 viaduct:  “A soft voice and patient way belied Van Robinson’s immense strength and steely determination," Walsh said in a statement "He demonstrated those traits in his service to our nation in the U.S and his tenure as a Common Councilor and Council President His determined vision was a critical factor in the decision to take down the Interstate 81 viaduct when his presence was needed at pivotal occasions for Syracuse Syracuse is a better city because of Van’s service and sacrifice the Robinson family and all those who loved Van.“ who invited Morrison to be his guest at last year's State of the Union address “Van Robinson represented the very best of Central New York," Schumer said in part He was a true trailblazer and history maker a leader who dedicated his life to building a more equitable and just Syracuse for all I would visit Van at the NY State Fair’s Pan-African Village that he helped create and I would seek his advice; his teachings guided me when I was a young senator and continued to do so when I became leader of the Senate." “My heartfelt condolences to Linda Brown Robinson and all the members of Van’s family," Onondaga County Controller Marty Masterpole said in a statement I had the honor to work alongside him on the Syracuse Common Council and he has been a role model to every elected official in Syracuse.  Van was a true gentleman I always enjoyed his company and will miss him dearly." "Van Robinson was a giant in Syracuse—more than a trailblazer and a fierce advocate for justice," Legislator Charles E "I’ll never forget him showing up at my door in a snowstorm He believed in me before I believed in myself His legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched My heart is with Linda Brown-Robinson and their family Syracuse has lost one of its finest."

Friday currently a member of the New Orleans Pelicans in the National Basketball Association (NBA) completed his degree in General Studies online through the College of Professional Studies (CPS) This marks the first time that a CPS student will deliver the student address at Villanova’s Commencement ceremony Robinson-Earl joins Admiral Samuel Paparo ’87 CLAS who will address the Class of 2025 as the University’s Commencement speaker and receive the degree of Doctor of Military Science “I absolutely love the Villanova community and everything they've done for me,” Robinson-Earl said “And I'm glad that I can be in this position to be in front of all of them and be able to give a speech that means a lot to me.” “It is an exciting moment for the College of Professional Studies to have one of our students selected to speak at Commencement especially a student like Jeremiah Robinson-Earl who embodies the dedication and thoughtfulness of our CPS students,” said Christine Kelleher Palus Dean of the College of Professional Studies despite the demanding schedule of a professional athlete but to also write and deliver a speech worthy of being chosen to be shared with the Class of 2025 shows a true love for his education and for the Villanova community.” Robinson-Earl initially came to Villanova in the fall of 2019 as a first-year student he made his mark on the Men’s Basketball program Robinson-Earl was the 2019-2020 BIG EAST Rookie of the Year and the 2020-2021 BIG EAST Player of the Year he chose to enter the NBA Draft and was selected as the 32nd pick he’s spent time with the Oklahoma City Thunder and New Orleans Pelicans continuing his studies with CPS throughout his career “We have a crazy traveling schedule and we're doing a lot: playing games (there’s) a choice of whatever you want to do in your spare time I was able to maximize the opportunity I had Part of Robinson-Earl’s comfort in taking classes online came from experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic He was a freshman in the spring of 2020 when his basketball season was abruptly canceled and student-athletes had to adjust to a new He credits the Villanova community atmosphere for making that transition smooth we were able to rearrange our plans and be able to accommodate for those circumstances especially with something as drastic as COVID,” he said “Nobody had ever been through anything like that.” as an inspiration throughout his life and a major reason he continued his education “In a single parent household with me as her only child she's been there for the whole ride,” Robinson-Earl said “She has been able to help me out along this journey As a representative of the College of Professional Studies Robinson-Earl will showcase the non-traditional pathways toward a degree he feels a shared experience with anyone pursuing an education while managing different commitments in their lives “I think everybody's journey is different,” he said “As long as you realize the importance of (a degree) when the timing matches up with the opportunity you can maximize the full potential of that.” Robinson-Earl’s time in the public eye would seem to prepare him for the spotlight with experience delivering a commencement address at his high school Yet he’s aware that his speech at Villanova's Commencement Weekend is a much taller task something I do on any normal single day is playing basketball in front of a bunch of fans and on TV there's a lot of people watching but this is something completely different,” Robinson-Earl added “I want to be able to step outside of my comfort zone and calm the nerves knowing that this message that I've built is from the heart instead of me trying to just read the speech I’ve written.” “I want to make an impact on others graduating who have been in the same circumstances that I went through as well.” Jeremiah Robinson-Earl's speech, along with the entire Villanova University Commencement ceremony, will be available to be livestreamed on Friday John Robinson `25 had no intentions of applying to Grinnell College when he was in the midst of his college search was already attending Grinnell and Robinson preferred to do his own thing “She kept pushing that I apply,” Robinson said and I had already written all my applications and I could just submit it.” So Robinson joined the ranks of other sibling duos at Grinnell — this duo Robinson picked the sport up at eight years old what drew Robinson to Grinnell was the opportunity to participate in its 3-2 engineering program where students can earn both a Bachelor of Arts degree from Grinnell and an engineering degree from a university affiliated with Grinnell Robinson was also interested in Grinnell’s open curriculum “That’s really what I wanted out of the college experience,” he said “Just to experience a bunch of different things and try out a lot.”  “It turned out to be kind of everything that I wanted here,” he added Robinson said he was always more of a STEM person always encouraged him to keep taking STEM classes for job opportunities But when Robinson came to Grinnell and enrolled in his tutorial with Karla Erickson professor and department chair of sociology titled I/Robot: The Social Life of Machines (and Humans) but he said it actually turned out to be rather sociology-centered Robinson ended up taking Introduction to Sociology with Erickson after a little pushing After taking Erickson’s introduction class Robinson decided he would declare a sociology major along with his physics major “That kind of really filled in the rest of my academic needs,” Robinson said of his sociology major and sociology just gave me a really big canvas for thoughts that I had or any social issue — race Robinson considered dropping the physics major Enrolled in zero physics courses for spring 2023 Robinson said his semester that he did take off from the physics major was wonderful he missed the problem sets and the rigor in STEM courses convinced him to take at least one more physics course with her — Mechanics “I took this class with her and she was like “So I guess it was both of my advisors being like After enrolling and completing Rodriguez’s course Robinson was on board for completing the physics major again He named Mechanics as one of his more influential classes he has taken here at Grinnell Robinson has played on the men’s golf team for all four years been involved with the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee worked at the campus bookstore and led Men of Color Empowered and Engaged Robinson also spends much of his time performing He has taken percussion lessons with the same instructor He also taught himself how to play guitar one summer Robinson even started a rock band with fellow golf team player Kevin Carpenter `25 called The Back Nine a reference to the final nine holes in an 18-hole golf course and I’ve done a lot of music performances here,” Robinson said “But I don’t think I knew exactly what a quarter note and a half note was fully He said he was often writing in the letters of the music notes on his sheet music but now he can read sheet music with more ease than when he first started Robinson still plans to pursue mechanical engineering though he did have to drop his plans to complete the 3-2 engineering program due to his semester off from physics courses Robinson will attend graduate school for mechanical engineering very likely at the University of Minnesota The Independent Student News Site of Grinnell College CN (NYSE: CNI) has announced

Wilson landed a high score of 15.47 Robinson's score was anything but spectacular—he landed a 7.06 neither of which came close to his opponents' numbers This loss comes just days after Robinson rose to No. 3 in the WSL Championship Tour rankings After his unfortunate results at Gold Coast Pro This wasn't the ideal outcome for Robinson but not every competition is meant to have a positive result "Heat 1 was all about the two former CT surfers making a case for their returns," the WSL wrote on social media "Julian and Morgan escaped elimination and looked to be in fine form taking out Jack and proving their surfing is still absolutely world class."

Read our Privacy notice Countdown star Rachel Riley has hit out at former host Anne Robinson after she criticised her on-set behaviour Former Weakest Link host Robinson, 80, presented the Channel 4 game show for just one year there were several reports that she was feuding with Riley It was claimed that Riley, 39, considered “walking away” from the show due to rising tensions with Robinson, which allegedly created an “awkward and uncomfortable atmosphere” on set While the pair were initially complimentary of each other, Riley soon admitted she hadn’t “done much bonding” with Robinson Robinson called out Riley for “distracting” her by talking in the background while she was interviewing the show’s contestants In a recent interview with The Telegraph but said: “Rachel was a bit talkative when I was interviewing the contestants but once we shut her up it was fine.” Riley has now addressed Robinson’s comments saying at the Women’s Football Awards last week: “If Anne needs to mention me for publicity then good luck to her.” The Sun reports Riley as saying: “I have the same opinion of her as most people do.

Robinson became notorious for her scathing remarks directed at contestants when she presented BBC series The Weakest Link from 2000 to 2012. Her signature presenting style was controversial, with some fans finding her jibes hilarious and others believing the “Queen of Mean” went too far with her comments. In January, Robinson explained that she decided to take a more brutal approach after meeting “real quizzers” and learning they were “ruthlessly competitive” and ready to criticise one another. Reflecting on her stint on the show in an interview with The Oldie last year, Robinson said that she would “never be able” to behave in the same way if she was presenting the show now. “You’d never be able to say all that now,” she claimed. “Half of it would be stamped out. I always thought the contestants would feel short-changed if I were nice.” Join thought-provoking conversations, follow other Independent readers and see their replies govt and politics"},{"score":0.646576,"label":"/society"},{"score":0.626444,"label":"/family and parenting/children"},{"score":0.601249,"label":"/news"},{"score":0.597374,"label":"/family and parenting/parenting teens"},{"score":0.590537,"label":"/society/dating"},{"score":0.558125,"label":"/law Written by RotoWire Staff Robinson (undisclosed) is expected to be available for Game 1 against Washington on Tuesday Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports Robinson returned to Monday's practice after sitting out sessions on Friday and Saturday 12 shots on goal and 22 hits in five games during Carolina's first-round series versus New Jersey Robinson will probably be on the fourth line in Tuesday's matchup Receive emails when new obituariesare published to our website Each of our funeral homes offers a complete range of services in tastefully decorated Professionally trained and licensed staff members stand ready to provide sensitive caring service and strive to exceed the expectations of each and every family.Our communities are wonderfully diverse in religious beliefs Our staff truly appreciates these differences and our training includes heartfelt understanding and respect for the special needs of all whom we serve Hartford | Windsor | Poquonock | Granby | Suffield | South Windsor | Rockville | Vernon | Avon© Carmon Community Funeral Homes | Funeral Home Website Design By Frazer Consultants & TA Your browser may not work with certain site.
