Recently, financial data outlet FinanceBuzz analyzed which U.S. cities have the fewest Christmas events and holiday activities — and some California cities came out seeing green. "Grinch"-green, that is. How rich was the McCallister family in ‘Home Alone’? To decide the ranking, FinanceBuzz scored the U.S.' 50 biggest cities based on a wide variety of holiday-themed factors, including number of department and toy stores, Google Trends searches, and more.

Chiefs missing Toney, McKinnon while Raiders could have Jacobs for Christmas matchup

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:16:49 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs will be missing three major contributors on offense because of injuries, and the Las Vegas Raiders expect to have Josh Jacobs back on the field, when the longtime AFC West rivals meet at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday.The Chiefs on Saturday ruled out embattled wide receiver Kadarius Toney with a hip injury, along with third-down back Jerick McKinnon because of a groin injury and left tackle Donovan Smith, who will miss his third consecutive game with a neck injury.The Chiefs put Skyy Moore on injured reserve earlier this week with a knee injury, so the loss of Toney further depletes a receiver corps that has struggled all season. Toney in particular has had a rough year — among his many drops have been two that were picked off, and his offsides penalty negated a go-ahead touchdown in the closing minutes of a loss to the Bills.Kansas City coach Andy Reid said this week that he expects Richie James, who has played primarily on special teams,...

Arsenal leads the English Premier League at Christmas for the second year in a row after drawing with Liverpool 1-1 at Anfield on Saturday. The challenge for Mikel Arteta is to prove they can go the distance this time after a late collapse ended their title hopes last season. “We have experience of being where we are today. We should be really happy because that shows a lot of consistency for this new group … to lead two years in a row. But that’s it,” the Arsenal manager said. “We are where we want to be right now, both in the Premier League and the Champions League.”Arsenal led for 248 days last season until April, when a 2-2 draw at Liverpool started a slump it didn’t recover from. The Gunners have drawn again at Anfield, but go into Christmas one point ahead of second-placed Liverpool and Aston Villa, third on goal difference.Defending Manchester City will be happy after seeing its three main rivals drop points this weekend. Villa drew with Sheffield United 1-1 on Fr...
