Santa Barbara News-Press

The Santa Barbara News-Press was a broadsheet newspaper based in Santa Barbara, California. It was founded in 1868 as the Post and merged with the rival News to form the News-Press in 1932.
On July 21, 2023, the Santa Barbara News-Press' owner, Ampersand Publishing LLC, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation. The July 21 edition of the paper was the last as Wendy McCaw said all of the jobs were eliminated and the paper had no money to issue final paychecks.

Pressing Paralysis

The phenomenon occurs when multiple defenders are in position to challenge an attacking player, but due to hesitation, miscommunication, or uncertainty about responsibility, none of them step up to engage. As a result, the attacker faces less resistance than expected, often gaining space or time to advance. This defensive lapse is driven by a diffusion of responsibility, where each defender assumes another will take action, leading to collective inaction.
It was pressing paralysis at its finest, three defenders doing the ‘after you, sir’ routine while the striker waltzed through like he owned the place.

Press

If someone wasn't having the police press people they identified as "innocent" bystanders, why would anybody know what time the police usually back off at? It's not the kind of thing most people learn from experience, as jobs make it hard for most people to have the luxury of staying up until dawn on a regular basis.
Put pressure on someone, often without a good cause or reason.

Dr. Pepper French Press

It’s when you put all of the empty left over bags of coke into a cup of doctor pepper, after it absorbs the rest of the coke from the bags you strain the Dr. Pepper into another cup and drink it for an energy boost.
