EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — If the Giants’ franchise-record 10th straight loss proved anything, it’s that New York could use a young franchise quarterback. Rookie Michael Penix Jr. showed what a young QB can do on Sunday against the Giants, who need to learn from it. The No. 8 overall pick in the draft, Penix played a nearly flawless game in his first career start to help the Falcons thrash the woeful Giants 34-7 in their best performance in weeks. The Giants gambled in 2019 that Daniel Jones would be their franchise QB and it really never panned out. The one exception was the 2022 season, when the No. 6 overall pick had a career year and led New York to a 9-7-1 record and a playoff berth in the first season after Joe Schoen was hired as general manager and Brian Daboll was named coach. The Giants even won a playoff game. With the release of Jones last month, the Giants (2-13) are now a team without a quarterback who can perform at the level required of an NFL starter. Tommy DeVito and Drew Lock have split the last four starts but neither has provided much of a spark for the league’s worst offense. Lock handed the Falcons the game with two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns. To turn things around next season, the Giants must find a quarterback. “I’d say it’s very important,” Daboll said Monday. New York is going to have a high pick in the draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in late April. It could even be the No. 1 overall selection. Choosing the right quarterback is going to be hard. There isn’t a can’t-miss choice in 2025 draft and forcing one early would be a mistake. Unless the Giants are convinced that Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders, Jalen Milroe or someone else is the next franchise player, they have have so many needs that it would be better to wheel and deal and fill as many holes as possible. Even if the Giants take a quarterback in the second round, there’s bound to be someone available who has a chance to be better than what they have now. What’s working The calendar. The season ends in less than two weeks. What needs help The franchise is in disarray, and a shakeup appears likely. Daboll’s future as the coach is not bright, considering the current skid and two straight losing seasons. Schoen has to share the blame and so do co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch, who hired the GM and coach. Stock up LB Darius Muasau. The sixth-round draft pick out of UCLA has started the last three games since Bobby Okereke (back) was hurt and eventually put on injured reserve last week. Muasau had 11 tackles Sunday along with a quarterback hit and a tackle for a loss. He made the defensive calls after LB Micah McFadden left with a neck injury. Stock down Lock. In his starts, Lock has had three interceptions returned for touchdowns. He also lost a fumble on a strip-sack at Atlanta. Lock sustained a shoulder injury during the game and had an MRI on Monday. Injuries Besides Lock and McFadden, S Jason Pinnock (eye) also left the game. C John Michael Schmitz and RB Tyrone Tracy were evaluated for ankle injuries on Monday.

Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. 1 — Thanks to the Raiders’ victory over the Jaguars, the Giants will have the No. 1 overall pick in the draft with two more losses. Next steps For the ninth and final time, the Giants will try to find a way to win at MetLife Stadium. New York is 0-8 heading into Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts. Its only other winless season at home was in 1974 when New York played at the Yale Bowl in New Haven, Connecticut, while Giants Stadium was being built. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Advertisement AdvertisementCORNELIUS, N.C. and NEW YORK, Dec. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc.

Dasuki urges Fintech, innovators, others to support Renewed Hope AgendaNEW YORK (AP) — Having waited 63 years for an Ivy League football title, Columbia had to stand by for another 40 minutes. The Lions had beaten Cornell 17-9 but needed a Harvard loss against Yale to secure a share of first place on the season's final day. So Columbia players retreated to their locker room on a hill a few hundred feet from Wien Stadium to watch the game in Boston on TV as a few hundred fans remained and gazed at the gold-and-orange foliage of Inwood Hill Park glowing in Saturday's afternoon sun. When Yale recovered onside kick with seconds left to ensure a 34-29 Harvard defeat, players let out a scream and streamed back onto the field to celebrate, smoke cigars, lift a trophy and sing “Roar, Lion, Roar” with family and friends. Who would have thunk it? “You had the realization of, oh, I’m a champion, which is something that hasn’t been said here in a while,” co-captain CJ Brown said. Harvard dropped into a tie with Columbia and Dartmouth at 5-2, the first time three teams shared the title since 1982 — the conference doesn't use tiebreakers. “It was nerve-wracking, for sure, but definitely exciting because that's something that not a lot of people have experienced, especially here," running back Joey Giorgi said. There have been several top players at Columbia — Sid Luckman, Marty Domres, Marcellus Wiley among them — but the school is perhaps better known for owners such as the New England Patriots' Robert Kraft and former Cleveland Browns head Al Lerner. Columbia's only previous championship in 1961 also was shared with Harvard. That Lions team was coached by Buff Donelli, a former Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Rams coach who scored for the Americans in soccer's 1934 World Cup. Columbia set a then Division I-AA record with 44 consecutive losses from 1983-88, a mark broken by Prairie View’s 80 in a row from 1989-98. Since 1971, the Lions’ only seasons with winning records until now were 1994, 1996, 2017, 2018, 2021 and 2022. Al Bagnoli, who won nine Ivy titles in 23 years at Penn, couldn't manage one at Columbia from 2015-22. He quit six weeks before the 2023 opener, citing health, and was replaced on an interim basis by Mark Fabish, his offensive coordinator. Jon Poppe, now 39, was hired last December after working as a Bagnoli assistant at Columbia from 2015-17 between stints at Harvard from 2011-14 and 2017-22, plus one season as a head coach at Division III Union College. He led the Lions to a 7-3 record overall, their most wins in a coach's first season since George F. Sanford's team went 9-3 in 1899. Poppe had wife Anna and 7-year-old daughter with him in the locker room watching the countdown to the title. “Sixty-three years of whatever into now,” he said. “Just seeing a lot of that history myself, personally. This is a hugely — a feeling of elation, seeing my dad on the field, a lot of emotional things with that.” Before a crowd of 4,224, quarterback Caleb Sanchez's 1-yard touchdown run put Columbia ahead in the second quarter. Giorgi's 1-yard TD run opened a 14-3 lead in the third and Hugo Merry added a 25-yard field goal in the fourth, overcoming three field goals by Alan Zhao. Giorgi rushed for 165 yards and finished his career with 2,112, second in school history. He and Brown missed what would have been their freshman season in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. Given Columbia's athletic history — the most successful sport is fencing — it is not an obvious football destination. “I saw the dedication, whether it resulted in wins or losses,” Brown said. “I saw their dedication to the product that they put out on the field and also the athletic department, the facilities that we had here, the busses on schedule and stuff, I was like, OK, they care about their athletes. People here want to win and it doesn’t matter what’s happened in the past, it matters what we’re going to do now.” Poppe cited a mindset. “You get 10 opportunities, unlike other sports, it is a grind to play this sport and prepare the way we do just for 10,” he said. As the final whistle sounded in Boston, Brown noted an unusual initial reaction in the locker room. “It was like kind of awe when they recovered the kick,” he said. “It was a lot quieter than you would think it would be, but you could feel the joy and the elation.” They accomplished what more than six decades of their predecessors had failed to. As the players headed out, Poppe had a final word. “Day off tomorrow,” he said. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here . AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-footballBy Jordan Rubin Welcome back, Deadline: Legal Newsletter readers . Donald Trump’s first attorney general pick quit before he could be fired (or, rather, not hired), the president-elect’s hush money sentencing was further postponed , and the Supreme Court issued an opinion that wasn’t much of an opinion at all. We’ll get to all that — but first, let’s talk judges. Not the justices who get most of the attention , but the judges on the nation’s trial and appellate courts. Although Democrats will lose the White House and Senate come January, they’ve been confirming key jurists to these lower courts during the post-election “lame duck” period before Republicans take over. Among President Joe Biden’s nominees who won lifetime appointments this week is Amir Ali, who’ll serve on Washington, D.C.’s federal trial court. Don’t be surprised if this young and accomplished civil rights lawyer is floated as a high court pick for a future Democratic president. Indeed, Biden’s lone justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, also began her judicial career on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Democrats are closing in on the 234 judges seated in Trump’s first term . Whether they meet or beat that number remains to be seen , as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and company race the clock before they lose power. Meanwhile, Matt Gaetz won’t be attorney general. He withdrew after it became clear the incoming GOP-majority Senate wouldn’t confirm him . In keeping with the Florida loyalist theme, Trump quickly announced Pam Bondi as the next top cop contestant. Like Gaetz, she’s an avatar for MAGA vengeance, but unlike Gaetz, she has criminal experience beyond being investigated . The former Florida attorney general led a “lock her up” chant against Hillary Clinton at the 2016 Republican National Convention. When it turned out that Trump would be the one facing lockup, Bondi said on Fox News last year that his prosecutors “will be prosecuted.” Bondi also backed Trump’s effort to overturn 2020 election results ; she defended him in his first impeachment ; and, as Florida AG, she didn’t take action against Trump’s fraudulent for-profit university — after his foundation gave $25,000 to a political action committee supporting her. That last move led Stephen Colbert to call Bondi “the only person in the world ever to make money from Trump University ... other than Donald Trump.” In his criminal cases , the main action (or lack thereof) was in New York. Judge Juan Merchan approved Trump’s request to file a motion to dismiss the case outright due to his impending White House return. That motion is due Dec. 2 and the state’s response is due Dec. 9, after which Merchan can rule on that request as well as Trump’s pending motion to overturn his guilty verdicts based on the Supreme Court immunity ruling. Only then can the case proceed to sentencing, which is by no means a certainty before Trump takes office. (More on that in this week’s “Ask Jordan.” ) We also got a mysterious piece of news in the Georgia election interference case. The state appeals court was supposed to hear arguments next month in the defense effort to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. But the court abruptly canceled the hearing without explanation. The court’s next move could shed light on the cancellation. As in New York, it’s unclear what will happen in the state case that — unlike the federal ones — Trump can’t get dismissed or pardon away by virtue of being president. Unlike the New York case, where Trump is the only defendant, he has many co-defendants in Georgia who could face televised trials while he’s in office. The Supreme Court issued its first opinion of the term in an argued case on Friday (the court’s first opinion overall was in a capital case summarily decided without argument). But the court’s “ruling” in Facebook v. Amalgamated Bank was a one-sentence order dismissing the case as improvidently granted , meaning the court realized after the fact that it shouldn’t have taken up the appeal in the first place. Whoops! The justices also added to their docket on Friday, taking up a new appeal over the scope of federal agency power. Elsewhere on the high court docket, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is pressing his luck with an application to halt misinformation investigations of doctors in Washington state. Justice Elena Kagan rejected his attempt on Wednesday, but now he’s shopping it to Justice Clarence Thomas . Former Trump White House advisor Peter Navarro tried a similar move of turning to another justice when he fought to stay out of prison for Jan. 6 committee contempt, but the full court ultimately rejected him . We’ll see if Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services fares better in his high court quest. Finally, a programming note: The newsletter is off next week for Thanksgiving and will return the first week of December. It should be a busy one, with special counsel Jack Smith slated to update the courts about his plans for Trump’s federal cases, Trump’s New York dismissal motion due to Merchan, and the justices set to hear arguments over transgender rights in United States v.

Pathstone Holdings LLC Sells 34,081 Shares of UBS Group AG (NYSE:UBS)
Getting 33% off three months of Game Pass is always fantastic, but the timing on this sale makes it truly exceptional – not only are this year's biggest shooters fresh on the catalogue, but you'll also get day-one access to two of Xbox's biggest upcoming games. You can snag three months of Game Pass Ultimate for just $27.99 at CDKeys right now – that's $14 off the usual price of $42.09 – while Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl are still fresh on the service. But that's not all: those three months will cover the launch of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, set to release on December 9, and Obsidian's upcoming RPG Avowed in February. Throw in the rest of Game Pass' catalog, and this is one of the best Cyber Monday Xbox deals you'll find around. Three months of Game Pass Ultimate would set you back $60 when buying month-by-month through Microsoft and three months are still $50 at Amazon , so the value in this is pretty wild. It's up there with the best Cyber Monday gaming deals of the week, and I'd be surprised to see a better Game Pass deal emerge so late into the sale. Should you buy 3 months of Game Pass? If you can live without owning your games forever, three months of Game Pass is absolutely worth buying. The obvious drawback is that you only have the service's games for those months - which could be an issue if you end up sinking time into beefier games like Avowed - but from my experience, I tend to wrap up Game Pass titles with plenty of time to spare. Besides that, it really is a stacked few months in the world of Game Pass. Despite a rough launch, Stalker 2 is my favorite shooter of 2024 – which you can read more about in my Stalker 2 review – and Black Ops 6 continues to eat up my free time most evenings. Meanwhile, our Indiana Jones and the Great Circle preview and Avowed preview have left me buzzing for both launches. Indy could be ten hours of whipping vases and I'd be thrilled, while the mere thought of finally getting more of Obsidian's companion goodness – no, you've played too much New Vegas problem – fills me with joy. Some of the games are worth these three months alone, so if you don't mind having a limited amount of time with them (presuming you don't just renew Game Pass) then go for it. If you want your Xbox catalog fully decked-out, check out our best Cyber Monday gaming deals and Cyber Monday Xbox Series X deals .A Hudson man was sentenced Monday to 21 months in federal prison after being convicted of stealing $342,650 in COVID-19 relief funds and attempting to steal $150,000 more, officials said. Matthew Dispensa, 58, was sentenced in U.S. District Court. In addition to the 21 months, he faces two years of supervised release and he was ordered to pay back the money he took plus an additional $150,000. Dispensa pleaded guilty in February to three counts of bank fraud and one count of attempted wire fraud. “The defendant lied to get hundreds of thousands of dollars in pandemic relief funds designed to mitigate the worst economic and public health crisis in decades,” U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young said. Dispensa fraudulently applied for multiple loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) programs. In May 2020, he applied for a $90,400 PPP loan from Primary Bank for an entity called Gateway Hills LLC. Gateway Hills LLC had no apparent operations separate from Dispensa’s gym in Nashua, which operated under the name Gateway Hills Club, officials said. In the application, Dispensa provided the bank false supporting documents, such as fraudulent annual and quarterly tax documents and a “management report” for the period ending Dec. 31, 2020, seven months into the future. Dispensa also provided a “payroll summary,” showing he was paid $8,700 per month through Gateway Hills LLC. The defendant’s true tax returns showed no income from that entity. In another application, Dispensa obtained a $146,650 PPP loan for the Gateway Hills Club entity. He claimed that annual payroll was more than $542,000 in 2020, but his real tax filings showed that payroll was only approximately $118,000 that year. Dispensa used the money for gambling on DraftKings, buying Tesla stock worth over $83,000, and purchasing 10,000 shares in a real estate investment trust. He falsely represented to the Small Business Administration that he used the funds for payroll and other approved expenses, officials said.
