He _____ his homework yet

• hasn't finished
• didn't finish

In colloquial English, I don't think #2 is wrong. Suppose one asked the question: "Did John finish his homework yet?" An appropriate answer might be, "No, he didn't finish his homework yet." Perhaps a purist might say that the word "yet" precludes option 2, but I think this is a little too "pure" for most native speakers.

Number 2 sounds bad to me, for the reasons Trisia stated. Perhaps I'm in the minority of AE speakers, but I never say "did . . . yet?" or "didn't . . . yet."

anothersmith and Dimcl, So, you've never said to anyone, "Didn't you eat yet?"* I'm surprised. In my neck of the woods, it would sound pompous to say, "Haven't you eaten yet?" to family members, for example. *And "Did you eat yet?" (which sounds like "Jeet yet?") is the pure Pittsburghese that I learned in the cradle!

Dimcl said: No, absolutely not, Joelline. In fact, I've heard it when in the U.S. and cringe every time (Waitress: "Did you know what you want to eat?" ). Nothing personal, but.... arrgghh! Click to expand...

Thank you all So... if I want to use "yet" in my sentence, then I have to use past perfect. I have only one problem (which is only mine). I thought that present perfect is for something that happened in the past and I don't care when exactly it happened (for example, I've eaten in this restaurant before). But I guess I'm wrong (according to Trisia's explanation) and I will read about it later. Thank you.

• Something that hasn't happened yet = the kids finished eating
• something that still goes on = they're still not finished with their meal.

Perhaps the source that says option no. 2 is wrong is British. "He didn't finish his homework yet" is not BE, though it may become standard before long through the copying of US practice.

Texas Longhorns' Steve Sarkisian Has 'An Idea' How to Approach Upcoming Transfer Portal Window

Texas Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian is making sure he and the staff do their homework ahead of next week's new transfer portal window.

• Author: Zach Dimmitt

In this story:

AUSTIN -- The Texas Longhorns' success of last season was a blessing and a curse for coach Steve Sarkisian and staff, as the bright lights allowed the team's top players to receive tons of attention from NFL scouts and depart for the draft as a result.

The Longhorns have had no choice but to reload through the portal, and reload they have. Texas has added receivers like five-star Alabama transfer Isaiah Bond and Houston transfer Matthew Golden along with UTSA edge Trey Moore and Clemson safety Andrew Mukuba, to name a few. Eight total transfer additions so far this offseason has given Texas the No. 7 portal class in the country, per 247Sports' rankings.

Texas Longhorns wide receiver Isaiah Bond during football spring practice.

Ricardo B. Brazziell/American-Statesman

The spring transfer window for FBS begins on Tuesday, April 16 and ends two weeks later on April 30, giving the coaching staff another chance to add depth. When speaking to the media on Tuesday, Sarkisian didn't reveal his plans but admitted he has "an idea" for how the Longhorns will approach the new portal window.

“I have an idea, internally,” Sarkisian said. “We’re gonna have some real discussions as a staff here in the next week or so, because I want to coach the guys that we got. I do think we’ve got a really talented team.

"Got great depth on this team, it’s incredible right now that we’re two-spotting everything and we’re four-deep at every position, which is great that we’re able to do that. Naturally, I don’t know if I’m necessarily going to the portal to say we’ve got to get something, but I’m sure as we’ll monitor there will be some decent players that go in, and then do they fit us."

During the run to the College Football Playoff this past season, Sarkisian put an emphasis on culture and leadership, which arguably played the biggest factor in Texas' success just two years removed from a 5-7 season. He admitted that it can be a challenge recruiting the portal due to the short time you have to getting to know the person, not just the player, but that's not stopping him from keeping the program's culture intact as priority No. 1.

"One of the challenges with the portal which we touched on a week ago, is how do you get to know the player, not just what’s on tape, but the person," Sarkisian said. "We try to do our best around here not to sacrifice character for talent, meaning yeah he’s a really good player, but maybe some of the off-the-field issues don’t match up with the player. We’ve got such a good culture right now and I think that’s part of the reason why we win. We just want to make sure that we do our homework on anybody that we bring into the program this late in the game.”

No one would be surprised if the Longhorns add a name or two from the portal during the upcoming window, but any incoming player wouldn't be integrated in time to be able to play in the Orange-White Spring Game on Saturday, April 20.

O.J. Simpson, legendary football player and actor brought down by his murder trial, dies at 76

LAS VEGAS (AP) — O.J. Simpson , the football star and Hollywood actor acquitted of charges he killed his former wife and her friend in a trial that mesmerized the public and exposed divisions on race and policing in America, has died. He was 76.

The family announced on Simpson’s official X account that he died Wednesday of prostate cancer. He died in Las Vegas, officials there said Thursday.

Simpson earned fame, fortune and adulation through football and show business, but his legacy was forever changed by the June 1994 knife slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman in Los Angeles. He was later found liable for the deaths in a separate civil case, and then served nine years in prison on unrelated charges.

Goldman’s father, Fred, and his sister, Kim, released a statement acknowledging that “the hope for true accountability has ended.”

“The news of Ron’s killer passing away is a mixed bag of complicated emotions and reminds us that the journey through grief is not linear,” they wrote.

Live TV coverage of Simpson’s arrest after a famous slow-speed chase marked a stunning fall from grace .

He had seemed to transcend racial barriers as the star tailback for college football’s powerful University of Southern California Trojans in the late 1960s, as a rental-car ad pitchman rushing through airports in the late 1970s, and as the husband of a blond and blue-eyed high school homecoming queen in the 1980s.

“I’m not Black, I’m O.J.,” he liked to tell friends.

His trial captured America’s attention on live TV. The case sparked debates on race , gender, domestic abuse , celebrity justice and police misconduct .

Evidence found at the scene seemed overwhelmingly against Simpson. Blood drops, bloody footprints and a glove were there. Another glove, smeared with blood, was found at his home.

Simpson didn’t testify, but the prosecution asked him to try on the gloves in court. He struggled to squeeze them onto his hands and spoke his only three words of the trial: “They’re too small.”

His attorney Johnnie L. Cochran Jr. told the jurors, “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit.”

The jury found him not guilty of murder in 1995, but a separate civil trial jury found him liable in 1997 for the deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5 million to relatives of Brown and Goldman .

A decade later, still shadowed by the California wrongful death judgment, Simpson led five men he barely knew into a confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers in a cramped Las Vegas hotel room. Two men with Simpson had guns. A jury convicted Simpson of armed robbery and other felonies.

Imprisoned at 61, he served nine years in a remote Nevada lockup, including a stint as a gym janitor. He wasn’t contrite when he was released on parole in October 2017. The parole board heard him insist yet again that he was only trying to retrieve memorabilia and heirlooms stolen from him after his Los Angeles criminal trial.

“I’ve basically spent a conflict-free life, you know,” said Simpson, whose parole ended in late 2021 .

Public fascination with Simpson never faded . Many debated whether he had been punished in Las Vegas for his acquittal in Los Angeles. In 2016, he was the subject of an FX miniseries and a five-part ESPN documentary .

“I don’t think most of America believes I did it,” Simpson told The New York Times in 1995, a week after a jury determined he did not kill Brown and Goldman. “I’ve gotten thousands of letters and telegrams from people supporting me.”

Twelve years later, following an outpouring of public outrage, Rupert Murdoch canceled a planned book by the News Corp.-owned HarperCollins in which Simpson offered his hypothetical account of the killings. It was to be titled “If I Did It.”

Goldman’s family, still doggedly pursuing the multimillion-dollar wrongful death judgment, won control of the manuscript. They retitled the book “If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.”

“It’s all blood money, and unfortunately I had to join the jackals,” Simpson told The Associated Press at the time. He collected $880,000 in advance money for the book, paid through a third party.

“It helped me get out of debt and secure my homestead,” he said.

Less than two months after losing rights to the book, Simpson was arrested in Las Vegas.

Simpson played 11 NFL seasons, nine of them with the Buffalo Bills, where he became known as “The Juice” and ran behind an offensive line known as “The Electric Company.” He won four NFL rushing titles, rushed for 11,236 yards in his career, scored 76 touchdowns and played in five Pro Bowls. His best season was 1973, when he ran for 2,003 yards — the first running back to break the 2,000-yard rushing mark.

“I was part of the history of the game,” he said years later. “If I did nothing else in my life, I’d made my mark.”

Simpson’s football rise happened simultaneously with a television career. He signed a contract with ABC Sports the night he won the Heisman Trophy in 1968. That same year, he appeared on the NBC series “Dragnet” and “Ironside.” During his pro career, Simpson was a color commentator for a decade on ABC followed by a stint on NBC. In 1983, he joined ABC’s “Monday Night Football.”

Simpson became a charismatic pitchman. In 1975, Hertz made him the first Black man hired for a corporate national ad campaign. The commercials, featuring Simpson running through airports toward the Hertz desk and young girls chanting “Go, O.J., go!” were ubiquitous.

Simpson made his big-screen debut in 1974’s “The Klansman,” an exploitation film in which he starred alongside Lee Marvin and Richard Burton. The film flopped, but Simpson would go on to appear in several dozen films and TV series, including 1974’s “The Towering Inferno,” 1976’s “The Cassandra Crossing,” 1977’s “Roots” and 1977’s “Capricorn One.”

Most notable, perhaps, was 1988’s “The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad” and two sequels. Simpson played Detective Nordberg in the slapstick films, opposite Leslie Nielsen.

Of course, Simpson went on to other fame.

One of the artifacts of his murder trial, the tailored tan suit he wore when acquitted, was donated and displayed at the Newseum in Washington. Simpson had been told the suit would be in the hotel room in Las Vegas, but it wasn’t there.

Orenthal James Simpson was born July 9, 1947, in San Francisco, where he grew up in government-subsidized housing.

After graduating from high school, he enrolled at City College of San Francisco for a year and a half before transferring to the University of Southern California for the spring 1967 semester.

He married his first wife, Marguerite Whitley, on June 24, 1967, moving her to Los Angeles the next day so he could begin preparing for his first season with USC — which, in large part because of Simpson, won that year’s national championship.

On the day he accepted the Heisman Trophy, his first child, Arnelle, was born.

He had two sons, Jason and Aaren, with his first wife; one of those boys, Aaren, drowned as a toddler in a swimming pool accident in 1979, the same year he and Whitley divorced.

Simpson and Brown were married in 1985. They had two children, Justin and Sydney , and divorced in 1992. Two years later, Nicole Brown Simpson was found dead.

“We don’t need to go back and relive the worst day of our lives,” he told AP 25 years after the double slayings. “The subject of the moment is the subject I will never revisit again. My family and I have moved on to what we call the ‘no negative zone.’ We focus on the positives.”

Cam Newton advises Lamar Jackson to copy Patrick Mahomes' homework and find a way to win the "ugly games"

Newton and Jackson share some similarities in the way they play and the teams around them..

Cam Newton is not one to stay silent. The former Carolina Panthers quarterback says what he thinks when he thinks it, so when it was his turn to advise Lamar Jackson on how to improve his game, he did not hesitate to tell him: do what Patrick Mahomes does.

Newton knows what he's talking about. Newton had to settle for mid-quality receivers for most of his nine-year stint with the Carolina Panthers . Except for the 2015 season, when he made it to the Super Bowl with receivers like Kelvin Benjamin , Corey Brown , and Jerricho Cotchery , Newton always had an uphill battle in the receiving department.

Jackson is in the same tight spot Newton was for most of his career. Both have that rare combination of a privileged arm and a unique ability to run the ball. However, his teams rely too much on the legs of their quarterbacks and forget to give them the support of good receivers.

Be like Mahomes: Newton

In a chat with Shannon Sharpe on the "Club Shay Shay" podcast, Newton felt that Jackson is overthinking things. Although he admitted that the most talented players tend to overthink, he recommended Jackson stop doing it and focus on winning.

True to his style, the former quarterback declared: "Everybody knows your signature is smoked, man, smoke this m*therf*cker and get it and get on about your day. You got to win. Find a way to win the ugly games. And we can talk about the other stuff later."

According to Newton, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback's mentality is: "I don't care what we need to do. Well, we could talk about all this other... didn't drop balls, we can worry about all that sh*t after the end of the game. Let's find a way to win."

Mahomes' year

The Chiefs signal-caller did not have the best numbers of his career in 2023. With 4,183 yards on 401 completions of 597 attempts, only 27 touchdown passes, and 14 interceptions, his rating was just 92.6 , far from the 113.8 he achieved in 2018 and the 103.5 he averages in his career.

Despite this, Mahomes led his team to win Super Bowl LVIII , where he won the third title of his career and the second in a row. Despite the lack of a stellar receiving corps, Mahomes did what Newton advised Jackson to do: He found a way to win the ugly games.
