From Sanders to Sauce, NFL draft fashion evolves over time

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:19:05 GMT

HOUSTON (AP) — Deion Sanders became the NFL draft’s first fashion icon by accessorizing a black and white track suit with loads of sparkling gold jewelry and dark shades when he took the call from the Atlanta Falcons before they selected him fifth overall in 1989.As memorable as Sanders’ draft swag remains, wearing a track suit on draft night or the jean shorts Brett Favre wore would be scoffed at today with top players gathering for a televised event that has become as much runway show as sporting event.While top prospects in this year’s draft like quarterbacks Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson and defensive lineman Will Anderson Jr. prepare their fits for the big night, we look back at some of the most memorable draft night ensembles since the splash by Sanders.

The linebacker rocked a silk shirt, belt and sunglasses by the designer with white slacks as he helped usher in the m...

Pernod Ricard quietly resumes booze exports to Russia 

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:19:05 GMT

BRUSSELS — Pernod Ricard has resumed exports of brands including Beefeater Gin and Jameson Irish Whiskey to Russia, a week after the French spirits giant was forced into U-turn on a decision to restart exports of Absolut Vodka following a backlash in Sweden.Members of parliament in the U.K. are not happy that the iconic London gin, marketed under the slogan “The Spirit of London” is being sold in Russia, while the country continues to wage an all-out war in Ukraine.“Pernod Ricard profiting from an aggressor state responsible for war crimes is shameful,” said Alicia Kearns, Conservative MP and chairman of the foreign affairs select committee, on Tuesday, according to the Daily Mail.  Pernod Ricard was among many firms to stop exports to Russia in the wake of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine last February. “It is as disgusting as it is ironic to return to Russia while others are still getting out,” said Mark Dixon, founder of the Moral Rating Agency, in a statem...

Xi tells Zelenskyy: China won’t add ‘fuel to the fire’ in Ukraine

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:19:05 GMT

BRUSSELS — Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Wednesday reassured President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Beijing would not add “fuel to the fire” of the war in Ukraine and insisted the time was ripe to “resolve the crisis politically.” While Xi’s remarks — as reported by the state’s Xinhua news agency — made no specific reference to international fears that China could send arms to Russia’s invading forces in Ukraine, his words will be read as a signal that Beijing won’t give direct military assistance to Russian President Vladimir Putin.  Xi was making his first call to Zelenskyy more than 400 days into the Russian war against Ukraine, and he suggested that Kyiv should pursue “political resolution” through dialogue — presumably with Russia — to bring peace to Europe.For months, Xi had resisted pressure from the West — and pleas from Zelenskyy — for the two of them to have a direct chat. Instead, he held multiple meetings with the diplomatically isolated Putin...
