Jets agree to trade Johnson to the Titans for Sweat

(AP) — The New York Jets have agreed to trade pass rusher Jermaine Johnson to the Tennessee Titans for defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the player-for-player swap of starting players cannot become official until the start of the NFL’s new league year on March 11. ESPN and NFL Network first reported the deal. Johnson will be reunited with Titans coach Robert Saleh, who was the Jets head coach when New York drafted the defensive end in the first round with ...

The tense aspect of Mars and Uranus brings up a paradox about leadership: When it’s done very well, the leader may not stand out at all. What stands out instead is the functionality of the group, the thriving of each individual within a productive whole. Good leaders empower others, with the ultimate goal of a team so effective, it renders their leadership unnecessary. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re instinctually motivated by a primal and unconscious strategy — a knowing that has been inside you since birth. It’s the same instinct your ancestors have had for thousands ...

A family wedding, minus one

Dear Annie: Am I being too sensitive? My niece’s son is getting married this year. I always believed I was close to her family, but when the “save the date” and shower invitations went out, my daughter was not included — although all the other cousins were. My daughter rarely attends family functions, so when one of my sisters asked why “Charlotte” wasn’t invited, the answer was, “We didn’t think she would come.” Charlotte is my only daughter, and I feel that the least they could have done was mention this to me beforehand. Instead, I stood at a family gathering and ...

Movie Review: I scream, you scream, we all scream, but ‘Scream 7’ is an uninspired bore
