However, as the dust settles on The Bachelor Season 29 finale, one glaring issue has left fans collectively groaning: Why on earth was it three hours long?

New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s administration has made a sharp retreat from its initial stance on permanently barring correction officers who participated in a recent strike from working in the state’s correctional system.

That leaves the Steelers facing a familiar scenario—searching for their next steal at wide receiver. Enter Jaylin Noel, an electric playmaker out of Iowa State who could be a perfect fit in Pittsburgh.
