Adam Thielen reacts to Chad Johnson's very bold tweet about Panthers' WRs
Do the Carolina Panthers suddenly have the NFL's best receiver trio? Well, one former (and very good) wideout thinks that could be the case. Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson certainly knows a thing or two about catching passes. He did so at the highest level for over a decade—notching seven 1,000-yard campaigns, two first-team All-Pro nods, six Pro Bowl selections and a spot in the Cincinnati Bengals Ring of Honor in the process. And Johnson, who has seemingly become a rather staunch supporter of what's cooking in Carolina, tweeted out an interesting thought regarding the Panthers' triplets on Wednesday . . . Part of that trio, veteran Adam Thielen, was asked about Johnson's post after Friday's walkthrough at training camp. "I did see it. Ocho's my guy," Thielen replied. "We had a nice conversation last year in Vegas before the game. I can't remember exactly who was talkin' about us not being a great group. So I think he might've been in on that. So I think he started to see the game and, obviously, at the end of the year and then, obviously, our additions in that room." The end of the year saw the 34-year-old Thielen reel in 40 receptions for 506 yards and four touchdowns over the team's final seven outings. That 2024 season was also the first for first-round pick Xavier Legette, who did flash at times—even despite an overall underwhelming year. As for the "additions," none were bigger, literally, than the 6-foot-4, 219-pound Tetairoa McMillan. McMillan, a consensus All-American at the University of Arizona, was taken by the Panthers with the eighth overall selection of the 2025 draft. So if Ocho is onto something (and quarterback Bryce Young continues to hum), then the Panthers may have themselves a great group after all.

Video shows conductor stopping train, getting out and shooing young U.S. Steel eagle off the tracks
You could say Ocho has some nerves of steel. Ocho, the young eagle who recently fledged the nest at U.S. Steel's Irvin Plant in West Mifflin, was captured on camera sitting right by the tracks, appearing rather undaunted as a train approaches. Video posted by PixCams, which runs a livestream of the nest, shows the train rolling to a stop as Ocho sticks around. The conductor can be seen getting up, and after a few seconds, Ocho finally takes the hint. Ocho flies off and lands on a nearby wire as the train starts to roll again. (Photo: PixCams) Ocho is exploring the world after accidentally fledging the nest last month. One moment Ocho could be seen standing on a branch, raising its wings — and falling. The Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania says eagles in the area usually leave the nest mid-summer and keep returning until their parents kick them out. While it's the sixth season for dad Irvin at the nest, mom Stella replaced Claire, who left the nest late last year. Irvin and Stella laid three eggs, but only Ocho hatched in March. The appropriately-named Ocho is the eighth eaglet to hatch at the U.S. Steel nest. The nest was built along the Monongahela River in 2019, and a wildlife camera has been livestreaming the family since 2021.

Downtown San Antonio date night idea
If you're craving a no-fuss, elevated night out, head to Hotel Havana for a seamless dinner-and-drinks experience. State of play: The boutique hotel houses Ocho, a pan-Latin restaurant helmed by chef Jesse Kuykendall, and the sultry Havana Bar in the basement. The vibe: Ocho feels like dining in a dreamy glass greenhouse overlooking the River Walk with chandeliers, tufted couches — and yes, air conditioning. A few steps away, Havana Bar sets the mood with dim lighting and cozy corners for cocktails and conversation. What to try: At Ocho, start with the ceviche del día ($18) for a burst of brightness. For a main entree, try the Calle Ocho ($42). It's a standout dish — a juicy ribeye with spicy chimichurri, sweet tomato confit, crispy manchego yuca and a cool cilantro crema. Bonus: The rotating zodiac-themed cocktail list is a fun surprise.

U.S. Steel eaglet Ocho accidentally fledges the nest
Ocho, the U.S. Steel eaglet, has fledged the nest. Well ... kind of. Ocho left the nest at U.S. Steel's Irvin Plant in West Mifflin on Tuesday night, but instead of gracefully soaring to the skies, the young eagle tumbled off a branch and fell into the tree below. In a video from PixCams, which runs the livestream of the nest, Ocho is seen standing on a branch before the eaglet raises its wings, steps forward and falls, taking part of the nest down with it. PixCams has been able to spot Ocho, writing on Facebook, "Ocho looks to be in fine condition so no need to worry!" Before the accidental fledge, Ocho has been spending time branching, preparing for flight. PixCams has since posted several videos of Ocho perched on a branch below the nest. It's not clear what's next in Ocho's out-of-nest adventure, but viewers can watch online to find out. (Photo: PixCams/YouTube) The Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania says eagles in the area usually leave the nest mid-summer and keep returning until their parents kick them out. While it's the sixth season for dad Irvin at the nest, mom Stella replaced Claire, who left the nest late last year. Irvin and Stella laid three eggs, but only Ocho hatched in March. The appropriately-named Ocho is the eighth eaglet to hatch at the U.S. Steel nest. The nest was built along the Monongahela River in 2019, and a wildlife camera has been livestreaming the family since 2021. Pittsburgh's eagle nesting season has been full of ups and downs this year. Usually bird watchers also have their eyes on the Hays eagle nest, but it collapsed during a storm last summer and the birds didn't rebuild in the same spot. However, trail photographers later found the eagles upstream across the river, and not only had they built another nest, but they had also hatched two eaglets. The hope is that PixCams can get another camera up there so Pittsburghers can keep up with the newly-renamed Glen Hazel eagles next year.

NYT ‘Connections' Hints And Answers For Friday, May 9
Find the links between the words to win today's game of Connections. Looking for Thursday's NYT Connections hints, clues and answers instead? You can find them here: Hello, Connectors! The happiest of Fridays to you all. I am afraid I have to admit that I have an entirely new obsession. Last weekend, I did something I almost never do: I went channel hopping for a while to find something to watch. As soon as I landed on Canada's version of ESPN: The Ocho, a familiar but strange sport caught my eye. Long-time readers will be aware that I'm a big fan of football (the one you actually play with your feet most of the time). I'm a Scot, it's in my blood. OmegaBall is a fascinating variant of that. It's played on a circular pitch with three teams and three goals instead of two. Here's how it works: My jaw dropped, because I'd never heard of OmegaBall before. I watched my first ever match and it was a lot of fun. It's very fast paced, and at least in the match I watched, there were tons of goals scored. It helps that players have two different goals to shoot at. At one point, I saw a goalkeeper score directly like it was nothing. That's a very rare occurrence in standard football. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder I'm excited to watch more OmegaBall, especially with the European football season wrapping up in the next couple of weeks. Before we begin, we have a great little community on Discord, where we chat about NYT Connections, the rest of the NYT games and all kinds of other stuff. Everyone who has joined has been lovely. It's a fun hangout spot, and you're more than welcome to hang out with us. Discord is also the best way to give me any feedback about the column, especially on the rare (or not-so-rare) occasions that I mess something up. I don't look at the comments or Twitter much. You can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes. Today's NYT Connections hints and answers for Friday, May 9 are coming right up. Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT's website or Games app. You're presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part. There's only one solution for each puzzle, and you'll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them. Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one. The purple group often involves wordplay. Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you're incorrect, you'll lose a life. If you're close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you're one word away from getting it right, but you'll still need to figure out which one to swap. If you make four mistakes, it's game over. Let's make sure that doesn't happen with the help of some hints, and, if you're really struggling, today's Connections answers. As with Wordle and other similar games, it's easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats. If you have an NYT All Access or Games subscription, you can access the publication's Connections archive. This includes every previous game of Connections, so you can go back and play any of those that you have missed. Aside from the first 60 games or so, you should be able to find my hints via Google if you need them! Just click here and add the date of the game for which you need clues or the answers to the search query. Scroll slowly! Just after the hints for each of today's Connections groups, I'll reveal what the groups are without immediately telling you which words go into them. Today's 16 words are... And the hints for today's Connections groups are: Need some extra help? Be warned: we're starting to get into spoiler territory. Today's Connections groups are... Spoiler alert! Don't scroll any further down the page until you're ready to find out today's Connections answers. This is your final warning! Today's Connections answers are... That's a 73-game winning streak for me now. I would have had a perfect game if not for a couple of silly errors. Here's how I fared: 🟦🟦🟨🟦 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟪🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Lots of words related to light today, that's interesting. The DIM SUM reference on the top line was fun too. I thought PRODUCT, DIFFERENCE, CONTRAST and QUOTIENT would make sense together, but I was one away from a group. Of course, SUM should have been in there instead of CONTRAST. That squared away the blues. I was one away again on my next guess of DIM, VAGUE, FAINT and SHADE. Looking around at the other words, REMOTE made the most sense instead of SHADE. I was thinking of them in terms of having a very small chance of success rather than distant memories. It felt weird to have a 50/50 shot between the yellow group and purple group. They both seemed pretty straightforward. I took a gamble but I got the yellows first. That left the surprisingly straightforward purples for the win. That's all there is to it for today's Connections clues and answers. I'll be back with you all here on Monday. In the meantime, you can check out my weekend editions of this column in my newsletter, Pastimes. P.S. We're rolling into to the weekend, so let's go with a very fun and silly song to get the party started. I've long loved "Danger! High Voltage" by Electric Six. It's a funny, funky disco rock track with backing vocals from none other than Jack White. I can't think of any other song that rhymes "gates of hell" with "Taco Bell." The video is very silly too, but maybe a little too racy for this website, so let's go with an audio-only version: Have a great day! Stay hydrated! Call someone you love! Please follow my blog for more coverage of NYT Connections and other word games, and even some video game news, insights and analysis. It helps me out a lot! Sharing this column with other people who play Connections would be appreciated too. You can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes.
