The Giants doubled down on a terrible season with a baffling decision

The New York Giants suffered their 14th loss of the season on Sunday, the worst in a single season in the team's history, capping one of the worst seasons in its history. The Giants' 20–13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles backups was only the team's first loss of the week for a lot of supporters. John Mara, the president of the New York franchise, declared on Monday that he will keep head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen, who were the main architects of the Giants' current situation. Even though the season's outcomes have been disappointing, Mara added in the statement, "[Team Chairman Steve] Tisch and I remain confident in the process that Joe and Brian have implemented and their vision for our team." Speaking to reporters on Monday, Mara stated that he anticipates a speed...

FDA limits toxic lead in some baby foods

In an attempt to reduce young children's exposure to the hazardous metal that causes neurological and developmental issues, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration set maximum levels for lead in baby foods on Monday, including jarred fruits and vegetables, yogurts, and dry cereal. According to the agency's final guidance, processed infant meals could cut lead exposure by 20% to 30%. The FDA can take enforcement action if foods above the limitations, but food makers are not required to adhere to them. According to a statement from the FDA, it is a component of the agency's continuous efforts to gradually lower dietary exposure to pollutants, such as lead, in meals while preserving access to nutrient-dense foods. Although they praised the initial proposal of the guidelines two years ago, consu...

It’s Black Monday in pro football, as the bill comes due for coaches of losing NFL teams

In what will probably be several "Black Monday" firings in professional football, the Jacksonville Jaguars fired Super Bowl-winning coach Doug Pederson. The NFL's somber yearly tradition of identifying fall men for a failed 2024 season ended Sunday, with Pederson and Jerod Mayo of New England suffering the first casualties. Shortly after finishing their 4-13 season, the Patriots made a snap decision by firing rookie head coach Mayo on Sunday. In the post-Bill Belichick era, Patriots owner Robert Kraft expressed regret for abandoning Mayo with a decimated roster. "I am responsible for this entire situation," Krusk told reporters on Monday."Because I put Jerod in an unworkable scenario, I feel awful for him. I am confident that he has all the resources necessary to succeed in this league as...

Proud Boys leader serving 22 years for Jan. 6 conviction asks Trump for a pardon

WashingtonFormer Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio is requesting a presidential pardon from President-elect Donald Trump. Tarrio is currently serving 22 years in federal prison after being found guilty of seditious conspiracy in connection with the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.

Hassan claimed that Tarrio, 42, is "nothing more than a proud American that believes in true conservative values." Tarrio was depicted throughout the Government's case as a right-wing extremist who supported a neo-fascist militant organization, but Hassan ...

Jason Kelce tries his hand as a late-night television show host

The city of PhiladelphiaBefore the retired All-Pro lineman drove around the city in his Eagles helmet automobile while wearing his Super Bowl parade Mummer's costume, Jason Kelce chatted with the Linc, and the steel and concrete of the Philadelphia Eagles' home stadium responded with a motivational speech. Before the first day of his new employment, he parked the modified golf cart and threw the keys in a ZZ Top fashion. Then, at the beginning of his monologue, he used an expletive. The most recent host to crash late-night television is a little more raw than the conventional suit-and-tie joke tellers, so roll out the Chug Machine, fly, F-bombs, fly, and save a seat for Sir Charles. For the first of five episodes of They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce on ESPN, Jason Kelce hosted a lat...

Capitol heavily secured for election certification as Trump’s Jan. 6 pardon plans remain largely a mystery

Washington Members of Congress were heavily guarded Monday as they certified Trump's 2024 election victory, guaranteeing that the first president to be charged with federal felonies will return to the White House in two weeks. This comes four years after Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in support of his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. Trump will take the oath of office as the 47th president of the United States on January 20 by passing through the Lower West Tunnel, which saw some of the worst carnage during the attack on January 6, 2021. Trump has promised to pardon an unspecified number of Jan. 6 defendants when he takes office. Trump was charged with four felonies in connection with Jan. 6 and his attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat. However, even as th...

With an intent stare, a wide smile and a simple declaration, Harris certifies her loss to Trump

When asked by NBC News about overseeing the certification of the 2024 election, Vice President Kamala Harris made a straightforward statement as she entered the Senate floor on Monday: Democracy wins out. A few minutes later, Harris prevailed, guiding Congress's unanimous support for Donald Trump's reelection and the electoral vote she lost. Harris clasped her hands in front of her and looked straight ahead as the four senators alternately read aloud the state-by-state electoral totals. Both when the vote total hit the threshold to declare Trump the next president and when her party gave her a standing ovation upon hearing her vote number, she smiled broadly. Harris and President Joe Biden, her predecessor on the campaign trail, also repeated this message to voters on January 6. They oppo...

Skip Bayless offered former Fox Sports hairstylist $1.5 million for sex, lawsuit alleges

Sports firebrand on television for a long time A complaint filed by a former Fox Sports hairstylist accuses Skip Bayless of repeatedly making unwanted sexual advances and offering $1.5 million in exchange for sex. Bayless, who was a Fox Sports host at the time, is accused in the lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles on Friday, of attempting to coerce plaintiff Noushin Faraji into having sex, including reportedly promising her $1.5 million for sex after she disclosed to him that she had experienced a cancer scare in 2021. Front Office Sports was the first to report on the case. People who have publicly identified themselves, as Faraji has done in the lawsuit, are usually not identified by NBC News when they are accused of sexual misconduct.
