Cuba: Obama welcome to visit but not to meddle
US President Barack Obama himself called on Thursday for Congress to lift the embargo, calling it the “legacy of a failed policy”. USA regulations still prohibit travel to Cuba for tourism.
“That’s just the situation I’ve been put in”, Mettenberger said Wednesday. He also threw touchdown passes to Nate Washington and DeAndre Hopkins, who had a seven-catch, 117-yard performance.
Relatives of drowned Syrian boy welcomed to Canada
Tima said the rejection was to blame for Abdullah making the risky boat trip that killed his wife and two young sons. She travelled to Belgium, Germany and Turkey, helping give a voice to those displaced by the war in Syria.
PROTECT QB BETTER: Ken Whisenhunt was fired as Titans coach two days after the Texans beat Tennessee 20-6 on November 1, a game when Mettenberger was sacked seven times and hit seven others.
The Titans (3-12) did nothing to hurt their chances at the No. 1 pick in the draft, turning the ball over twice in the first quarter.
And when an untalented team plays with as little life as this one did, the result is painful to watch.
“My confidence and my timing is just not what it needs to be, ” Weeden said.
“Obviously, I’m excited for myself personally, but I’m more excited for this team”, Weeden said.

Hoyer has also been one of the league’s best red zone quarterbacks this year, tossing 13 of his 18 touchdowns from within the opponents’ 20-yard line while not throwing a single interception.
NOTES: Tennessee WR Kendall Wright (knee) and LT Taylor Lewan (concussion) left the game in the first half and didn’t return….
NOTES: Houston LB Jadeveon Clowney left early in the fourth quarter with an injured left foot. Alfred Blue registered just his second 100-yard rushing game of the season, and the ground attack helped take pressure off both of Houston’s quarterbacks. Titans coach Mike Mularkey said earlier this week that Mettenberger should have known not to throw to Douglas even before the ball was snapped.
In their last home game of the season, the team barely missed receiving their first-ever shutout at home by one touchdown by Zach Mettenberger.
