Packers’ Season Ends with 49ers’ Block Party in NFC Divisional Playoffs - Sports Illustrated
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers spoke to the media following Green Bay's divisional round loss to San Francisco.
Subscribe to the Packers More Packers NFL #GreenBayPackers #Packers #NFL GREEN BAY, Wis. – Special teams, the Green Bay Packers’ weakness all season, has sent them into the bitter cold of the offseason.
For the fourth time, Aaron Rodgers’ Super Bowl dreams were extinguished by the San Francisco 49ers. In previous years, it was Colin Kaepnerick and Raheem Mostert. On Saturday, it was Jordan Willis and Talanoa Hufanga combining to shock the Packers. Robbie Gould’s 45-yard field goal on the final play ended Green Bay’s season.
With the Packers nursing a 10-3 lead with 4:41 remaining, Willis blocked Corey Bojorquez’s punt. Nobody could find the ball in the snow other than Hufanga, a rookie from USC, who scooped up the loose ball and returned it 6 yards for the tying touchdown.
The Packers’ ensuring possession, like so many before them, went nowhere. The 49ers then drove the field for Gould’s field goal. Deebo Samuel’s 9-yard run on third-and-7 was the back-breaker. On the field goal, Gould struck the ball and immediately sprinted forward toward the end zone, his arm in the air, his index finger raised.
The 49ers celebrated a remarkable victory. The Packers trudged off the field following yet another blown opportunity to win the franchise's 14th world championship. Every playoff loss stings. This one might sting a bit more, with the Packers having homefield advantage, their beloved winter weather and a relatively healthy roster. Everything was in their favor, and none of it mattered.

Louie Anderson, Emmy Winning Comedian, Has Died At 68 louie anderson dead louie anderson died
Louie Anderson, the iconic Emmy-winning comedian, actor and game show host, died Friday in Las Vegas after battling cancer, his publicist confirmed to Variety. He was 68.
A seasoned stand-up with a career spanning over four decades, Anderson broke through as a comedian in 1984 when he performed a set on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.” From there, he performed a comedy special on Showtime in 1987, made regular TV appearances on late-night shows and appeared in movies such as “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” in 1986 and “Coming to America” in 1988.
In 1995, Anderson produced, created and starred in the Fox original animated series “Life With Louie.” Like much of Anderson’s stand-up, “Life With Louie” was based heavily on his experiences growing up in Saint Paul, Minn., in a large family of 11 children. The comic voiced a fictionalized version of his eight-year-old self in the show, winning two Daytime Emmys for performer in an animated program. The show ran from 1995-1998. In 1996, he created and starred in “The Louie Show,” a short-lived sitcom on CBS that was canceled after six episodes. In 1999, Anderson was the first host for the third revival of the hit syndicated game show “Family Feud,” leaving the show after four years in 2002.
In recent years, Anderson garnered acclaim for his performance in the FX original comedy series “Baskets.” The show, which premiered in 2016 and ran until 2019, starred co-creator Zach Galifianakis as professional clown Chip Baskets, who worked in the local rodeo of Bakersfield, Calif. Anderson portrayed Chip’s overbearing mother Christine in all four seasons of the show, and he received an Emmy for outstanding supporting actor for his work in the first season. He would receive two further nominations in 2017 and 2018.
Recently, Anderson reprised his “Coming to America” role in the 2021 sequel “Coming 2 America” and appeared in a guest role in Season 3 of the HBO Max original series “Search Party.” Since 2017, he has been a regular panelist on the game show “Funny You Should Ask.”
Anderson is survived by his two sisters, Lisa and Shanna Anderson louie anderson dead louie anderson died

New Doomsday Clock announcement coming Thursday. Here's how to watch
Since 2020, the hands of the Doomsday Clock have sat at 100 seconds until midnight. With the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists making their 75th-anniversary announcement Thursday morning, how close are we to doomsday in 2022?
The Doomsday Clock was established in 1947 as a way for the scientific community to show world leaders and the public how close humanity is to annihilating ourselves. The purpose was to bring awareness to the threats in the hopes that leaders would make the world safer and thus move the hands of the Clock back.
In the early years of the Clock's timeline, the primary threat was nuclear war. It stood at 7 minutes to midnight its first year. As tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union worsened in the two years following, the Clock ticked forward to 2 minutes to midnight. From the 1960s through the 1980s, nuclear treaties and peace agreements between the world's nations allowed the scientists tracking world threats to move the hands of the Clock back. By 1991, they stood at 17 minutes to midnight — the furthest from doomsday that we've been since the start of the Cold War.
Two added threats have been considered in the years since. The first is the worsening threat of anthropogenic climate change. The second is the impact of disruptive technologies, which are eroding trust in our institutions through the spread of misinformation and disinformation. Taking these into account, along with the continued threat of nuclear war, has caused the Clock's hands to move closer and closer towards doomsday.

How to get free at-home Covid-19 test kits mailed to your door
As of Tuesday, you should be able to order free Covid-19 at-home test kits through a new federal government website and have them mailed to your door — although the site might have some bugs.
Announced last December as part of a larger Biden administration initiative to combat surging Omicron cases, over 500 million test kits — later upped to 1 billion — have been made available to all Americans.
How to get free test kits in the mail
From the first batch of 500 million test kits, there will be a limit of four test kits per household. It’s not yet clear what the limits might be for a second batch of 500 million test kits. Delivery is expected to be between 7-12 days, according to a White House statement.
Orders can be placed by visiting Covidtests.gov, which launched Tuesday ahead of the initial target date of Wednesday, Jan. 19. To submit an order, you’ll only need to provide a name and mailing address, although you can also include your email address if you want updates about the status of your order.
However, users on social media are reporting a bug in which people in the same apartment building are being rejected as duplicates, despite living in separate units. White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed the launch was in a beta phase and warned that bugs were to be expected, in a press briefing on Tuesday.
All orders in the continental United States will be sent through First Class Package Service. Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. Territories, and Army, Navy and diplomatic post office addresses will be sent through Priority Mail.
You can also get your kits reimbursed through insurance
As of January 15, the cost of up to eight at-home Covid-19 tests per month will be covered by your private health insurer. Additionally, test kit costs are now covered by insurance if they’re part of a clinical assessment by a health-care provider, which would give you eight free tests per month, plus whatever number of tests a doctor asks you to take. More information on that can be found in this CNBC Make It article.
Free in-person tests are also available in over 20,000 U.S. Department of Health & Human Services health centers, or are otherwise available through local and state government programs. More information about your Covid testing options can be found here.

How climate change is transforming Colorado's ski industry
Drew Van Patter’s Epic Local Pass isn’t getting much air time this season.
Van Patter, a 32-year-old Fort Collins snowboarder who moved to Colorado five years ago but has frequented the state's ski areas since he was 10 years old, hit the slopes for the fourth time this season in early January.
Like most ski areas in Colorado this season, the runs were icy. Throughout the state, a day of skiing this season has often meant a day spent dodging the grass and rocks peeking from a threadbare blanket of snow.
“It was probably the worst day I’ve had since I lived in Colorado,” Van Patter said of his runs at Breckenridge Ski Resort.
Recent storms offered life support to many of the state's snow-starved ski areas, but as of early January, Colorado's snowpack was lower than it had been in 30 years. Last year was the state’s second-warmest year ever.
