“They keep abstaining from responsibility”: Jason Kelce calls out Giants GM after Brian Daboll’s firing

The New York Giants are heading in a new direction after the team fired head coach Brian Daboll on Monday, following a disastrous 2-8 start to the season. Daboll, who was in his fourth season with the team, was let go after the Giants suffered their fourth consecutive defeat against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

Despite some bright sparks from players like Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo, the team’s overall performance has been on the decline. Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce recently acknowledged Daboll’s shortcomings that contributed to his firing this week. However, Kelce also criticized the Giants’ general manager, Joe Schoen, for what he called a lack of accountability.

In Tuesday’s episode of the *New Heights* podcast with Travis Kelce, Jason shared his thoughts (timestamp 29:00 onwards):

“Daboll’s been there for four years, they’ve changed over the roster completely, and the team just hasn’t gotten better. They’ve shown flashes, like it felt four weeks ago that things were starting to turn a corner. But the graphics are out there — they’ve blown a number of big double-digit leads that good teams and really disciplined teams don’t do. It’s not all Brian Daboll’s fault, never is, but when you’re the head coach, you’re the one ultimately responsible. Somehow, the general manager is abstaining from responsibility over this whole thing to date.”

Following Daboll’s dismissal, Mike Kafka will take over the interim head coach role. The Kelce brothers, who both worked with Kafka early in their NFL careers, wished him the best of luck moving forward.

### Giants President Praises GM Joe Schoen for Recruiting Young Talent

While Brian Daboll faced backlash for the team’s performances over the past few weeks, Giants general manager Joe Schoen has also come under scrutiny. However, Giants president John Mara praised Schoen for assembling a promising core of young players in the wake of the coaching change.

“We feel like Joe has assembled a good young nucleus of talent, and we look forward to its development,” Mara said. “Unfortunately, the results over the past three years have not been what any of us want. We take full responsibility for those results and look forward to the kind of success our fans expect.”

Joe Schoen is now leading the search for New York’s next head coach, while interim coach Mike Kafka is preparing to face the Green Bay Packers this Sunday in his first game in charge.

Latest Buzz Suggests Blue Jays Finally Boast Strong Free Agency Pitch

The Toronto Blue Jays have been no strangers to aggressive offseasons over the last few years. Toronto has consistently pursued top free agents, including Shohei Ohtani and even being mentioned in the Juan Soto sweepstakes, but ultimately missed out. Last year, the Blue Jays and San Francisco Giants were reported as the two most aggressive teams in the Corbin Burnes sweepstakes as well, though Burnes ended up signing with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

All in all, the Blue Jays have tried each offseason to bring big-name players to town but haven’t necessarily been able to get those deals done. However, after making it to Game 7 of the World Series, the perception of the team seems to have shifted.

Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi and Ben Nicholson-Smith reported that there could be a more “receptive audience” for Toronto in free agency this year, citing an anonymous “prominent” agent.

“Armed with the cachet of an inspired World Series run that captivated both fans and the wider industry’s interest, the Toronto Blue Jays jumped into the off-season with what some agents called a motivated posture across various player markets,” Davidi and Nicholson-Smith wrote.

“One prominent agent believes the American League champions will find a more receptive audience for their pitches this winter, too, having shown the baseball world how success looks north of the border.

“Baseball tends to have ‘a pack mentality,’ said the agent, and between seeing players succeed with the Blue Jays, the enthusiasm from fans Canada-wide and positive reviews of the team’s facilities, ‘it should be easier for them to get players’ this off-season.”

A second agent described the Blue Jays as “hungry” and “acting like the big boys,” while both representatives said they are involved in discussions around top-end starting pitchers, back-end relievers, position players, and talent from Asia.

Of course, aggressiveness doesn’t always lead to deals, as the Blue Jays have seen in the past. But this new attitude is a positive sign for what could be a big offseason in Toronto.

The Blue Jays have demonstrated over the last few years that they are willing to offer large contracts. Maybe this year, they will finally ink one of those external stars to a deal.

Leslie Bibb Tells ‘Today’s Jenna Bush Hager About The Time She Took A “Break” From Partner Sam Rockwell: “I Went To Burning Man For A Week”

Leslie Bibb recently opened up to Today’s Jenna Bush Hager about the one time she took “a break” from her partner of 18 years, actor Sam Rockwell.

Bush Hager had just shared videos of Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes, who have seemingly reunited after they were reported to have broken up in September. She then asked Bibb, who is guest hosting Today this week, “Did you and Sam ever take a break?”

Bibb initially denied it before confessing, “Well, I went to Burning Man for a week and I said, ‘I’m not gonna talk to you for a week. Think about what you’ve done. Think about your choices.’”

Bush Hager responded with a smile, “Wait, did you come back from Burning Man and think about your choices?” implying Bibb might have gotten up to some antics while attending the music festival.

“I had a great time!” Bibb revealed. “I didn’t do anything crazy. I was going around spraying SPF on girls’ boobs so that they wouldn’t get sunburned. I was so scared.” She added, “Well, I’m like Cathy Careful of Burning Man. I’m like, ‘Are you hydrated?’ I would give everybody water.”

Although Bibb did not share what caused her and Rockwell to take the break, she noted, “That was the only time where we just didn’t talk for the week.”

Bush Hager then shared her own experience, confessing that she and her husband “maybe took a small break” at one point that lasted “a couple of days.”

However, Bibb is not particularly a fan of taking “breaks” in a relationship. “I am a Scorpio and when I’m done, I’m done. It’s over,” she told Bush Hager. She even wondered if she should “go talk to my shrink” about that, adding, “It’s probably not healthy to do that.”

The White Lotus star has been a welcome addition to the Today With Jenna & Friends family. This marks the second time she has guest hosted the fourth hour of Today with Bush Hager, and Bibb will continue guest hosting for the remainder of the week.

Stars Oliver Hudson and Ali Larter are set to join Bibb and Bush Hager later this week.

Today with Jenna & Friends airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.

BBC News Editors Address Staff — But Trump Bungle Was Off-Limits Amid $1B Legal Threat

**EXCLUSIVE: Senior BBC Editors Hold Video Call Amid Controversy, Avoid Discussing Trump Edit**

Senior editors at BBC News convened the newsroom for a video call update on Wednesday. However, one topic was strictly off-limits: the controversial Donald Trump edit.

From the outset, journalists were informed that leaders—including Jonathan Munro, currently acting head of news following Deborah Turness’ abrupt resignation over the weekend—could not address questions related to the bungled *Panorama* edit. This was due to Trump’s looming $1 billion legal threat.

“They said at the start of the call they had to be careful legally,” one observer noted.

Unlike the open all-staff BBC call on Tuesday, where employee frustration poured out through comments, questions, and remarks to news chiefs, Wednesday’s meeting featured carefully vetted inquiries. The session was chaired by Phil Harrold, BBC News director of transformation.

Munro’s role in the unfolding crisis has caused significant concern among BBC journalists. However, he was not questioned about the decision to defend the 2024 *Panorama* film, which controversially spliced two parts of Trump’s January 6 speech—giving the impression he explicitly incited violence.

Until Monday, the BBC stood by the editorial decision. But chair Samir Shah ultimately conceded, stating:
*“The way the speech was edited did give the impression of a direct call for violent action. The BBC would like to apologise for that error of judgement.”*

Sources revealed that during Wednesday’s call, Richard Burgess, director of news content, acknowledged “significant mistakes” had been made. Meanwhile, Munro refrained from discussing his private conversations with Turness regarding her unexpected departure as BBC News CEO.

### BBC Arabic Addresses Criticism Amid Controversy

During the same call, Munro reassured staff that BBC Arabic was not under threat despite serious criticism surrounding the network’s ongoing platforming of individuals expressing antisemitic views.

He pointed to recent reforms within BBC Arabic, including an overhaul of its *Press Review* segment—which compiles media reporting from the Middle East—as well as strengthened editorial leadership and accountability measures.

The Trump edit and the situation at BBC Arabic were highlighted in a memo authored by Michael Prescott, a former external adviser to the BBC board’s editorial standards committee. This document, which has contributed to the recent crisis culminating in the resignations of Director General Tim Davie and Deborah Turness, also criticized the BBC’s perceived pro-trans rights coverage.

### BBC Acknowledges Mistakes on Gender Identity Reporting

When questioned about these points during the call, Burgess acknowledged that the BBC had not “got everything right” on gender identity issues but emphasized that “progress” has been made.

According to sources, Burgess highlighted the importance of ensuring the BBC remains a safe space for both those who support trans rights and individuals who hold gender-critical views.

The meeting underscored the tumultuous state of affairs within BBC News as it navigates legal threats, internal criticism, and calls for accountability in its editorial practices.

The teaser is expected to introduce Mahesh Babu’s character through a breathtaking sequence shot in the Masai Mara. The evening will culminate with the superstar’s grand entry and a fireworks display lighting up the Hyderabad skyline.

For the unversed, *Globetrotter* marks the first-ever collaboration between S. S. Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu. The film also features Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran in key roles.

Tyrese Maxey, Sixers praise Andre Drummond for his work on the floor

PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia 76ers secured a thrilling 102-100 victory over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday, improving their season record to 7-4. The win featured strong contributions from across the roster, with veteran Andre Drummond providing a much-needed boost amid Joel Embiid’s intermittent absences.

Drummond, a two-time All-Star, has been outstanding recently. He posted 17 points and 12 rebounds against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, followed by 14 points and 13 rebounds in Tuesday’s win over the Celtics. With Embiid currently listed as day-to-day due to a right knee issue, the Sixers continue to lean on Drummond’s consistent performance.

While the team relies on Tyrese Maxey and others to lead on the floor, Drummond’s impact remains crucial. “He’s been great,” Maxey said of Drummond. “He’s been amazing, man. The stuff that he’s done has been really good. He’s rebounded the ball well. He’s shot the ball well. He’s done a good job, man. He’s protecting the paint. We’re glad to have him.”

Drummond also made a key defensive play late in the game against the Celtics. After Kelly Oubre Jr. gave the Sixers a 102-100 lead with 8.7 seconds left, Drummond switched onto Celtics guard Derrick White, knocked the ball away, forced a bobble, and disrupted a final buzzer attempt. It was an impressive display of hustle and presence.

“That was huge,” Sixers coach Nick Nurse said. “Those are just making plays. Drum’s got some quick hands every now and then, but obviously, it was a saving play for that possession. For sure.”

Overall, the Sixers received 22 points from Justin Edwards and 21 from Tyrese Maxey, but it was Drummond who continually came up with the big plays that helped secure the win.

“Big time,” Maxey added about Drummond. “He did a really good job. That’s what he does. He gets deflections, he’s disruptive, and we appreciate him for that.”

The Sixers now have two days off before facing the Detroit Pistons again on Friday in the NBA Cup rematch.

2026 Macroeconomic Outlook: Treading A Finer Line

By William Davies, Global Chief Investment Officer

As we look ahead to 2026, the global economy is walking an ever-finer line. Growth has proven surprisingly durable, inflation has moderated (albeit unevenly), and markets have continued to climb.

But beneath the surface, imbalances persist.

‘He would not have survived the night’: Firefighter finds a fluffy feline outside the firehouse, takes the kitten in for warmth and safety

Firefighters are trained to save lives—big lives, small lives, human lives, fluffy lives. And sometimes, the emergency isn’t flames, smoke, or sirens. Sometimes it’s the softest cry coming from a bush on a cold day.

When a firefighter finds a kitten all alone, there’s no world where that little fluff gets left behind. Because a rescue is a rescue, whether it’s a neighborhood, a person, or a two-week-old baby cat who hasn’t even learned what the world is yet.

This tiny one was chilled, exhausted, and missing its littermates—too young to survive even a single cold night outside. But instead of becoming a heartbreaking statistic, they got a warm place to sleep, safe arms to curl into, and a chance. That’s kindness in action.

Not everyone can care for such tiny kittens—those fragile feline lives need constant feeding, warmth, and medical attention. But what matters most is that someone was there to say, “You’re not alone.” With one call to a rescue, this little stray went from abandoned to protected, from scared to safe.

Firefighters spend their days running toward danger to save whoever needs saving. In this case, the emergency was a tiny, fuzzy kitten that weighed less than a sandwich. But it still counted.

Thanks to one compassionate human and a rescue organization ready to step in, this baby now has the future they never would’ve gotten on their own.

A small rescue for the world.
A massive rescue for one tiny life.

Will South Africa’s Biko inquest finally yield justice for struggle icon?

No perpetrators have been brought to justice following the 1977 death in detention of the famed anti-apartheid leader, Steve Biko.

Despite the passage of decades, those responsible for his tragic death remain unaccountable. The legacy of injustice surrounding Biko’s detention continues to resonate, highlighting ongoing challenges in achieving full justice for victims of apartheid-era crimes.

### Week 11 Fantasy Football Running Back Picks

#### Rico Dowdle @ ATL
Rico Dowdle continues to dazzle fans as he rises to dominance. In his first season away from the Dallas Cowboys, Dowdle has helped the Carolina Panthers climb above .500, delivering a top-five showing in rushing yards.

Celebration drama aside, Dowdle has been a top fantasy producer. While he only logged about 10 points against the Atlanta Falcons in their previous matchup, he averaged roughly a point per carry. If he receives around 25 carries like he did against the Green Bay Packers on November 2nd, he could be in for a big game—especially following what Jonathan Taylor proved was possible in Week 10.

#### De’Von Achane vs. WSH
De’Von Achane has been the lone bright spot in an otherwise tough Miami season. Even in a lost season, Achane has managed to dominate week after week.

The opponent may not matter much for Achane, but the struggling Washington Commanders defense appears to be in for a tough outing. Coming off a 40-point performance in many leagues, fantasy managers are likely to benefit from starting Achane this week.

#### Saquon Barkley vs. DET
Saquon Barkley hasn’t exploded like in previous years, but he has been a reliable force, scoring in the teens most weeks.

Expect another steady, workmanlike performance out of Barkley this week with a touchdown as well as receiving and rushing yards. Given that the game is expected to be competitive throughout, it sets the stage for a quality outing. Don’t expect a low-scoring final like 10-7—instead, look for extra scoring opportunities for the veteran running back.
