    The star player was fined $5,628 by the NFL for mismatched cleats that were not “constitutional team colors,” The Associated Press reported in December. Hurts wore Jordan Brand dark green and Kelly green cleats for the Eagles’ game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

    The Jordan Brand announced at the time it would pay the fine.

    “We’re paying the fine. You can’t ban greatness,” the company wrote.

    Hurts said at the time he was set to wear Jordan Columbia 11s, but the shoes didn’t arrive in time. He said he had the mismatched cleats with him for a photoshoot and added that he liked the look enough to play his next game.

    Hurts also wore mismatched cleats on Oct. 28 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

    Hurts is one of 19 quarterbacks who have been able to get back to the Super Bowl after losing his first start. With a win, he would join Len Dawson, Bob Griese and John Elway as quarterbacks who won the Super Bowl after losing their debut.

  • New Year’s Eve 2024 Google Doodle marks arrival of new year 2025 with striking doodle

    Google Doodle Celebrate New Year’s Eve 2024: Today’s Google Doodle, celebrating New Year’s Eve on December 31, 2024, features a vibrant animated design. The word “Google” is displayed in bold letters against a dark sky, with the central ‘O’ replaced by a ticking clock counting down to midnight.

    “Bust out your sparkles and finalize your resolutions — today’s Doodle celebrates New Year’s Eve! Here’s to a new year that’s shining with opportunity — just like today’s Doodle! Let the countdown begin,” Google Doodle wrote. This Doodle captures the occasion’s festive spirit, adding a sparkle and flair to the celebration.

    Celebrated on December 31, New Year’s Eve marks the final day of the year and the transition into the new one. The day is filled with self-reflection and celebration as people bid farewell to the old year. Though celebrations and festivities vary by culture common themes include gatherings with family and friends, special meals, fireworks, and bonfires.

    The celebration of the new year dates back to ancient Babylonians who were among the first to mark the beginning of a new year, celebrating it during the vernal equinox (around March 20 or 21). However, the Gregorian calendar we use today sets the new year on January 1.

    In Ancient Rome, New Year’s Day was originally observed on March 1. It wasn’t until 46 BCE when Julius Caesar introduced the Julian calendar, that January 1 became the official start of the year. The Gregorian calendar, introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, replaced the Julian calendar and established January 1 as the official beginning of the new year in much of the West. Over time, the celebration of New Year’s Eve became a global event.
