The Whites’ leading marksman struck either side of half-time to move his team above Sheffield United , who were beaten by fellow promotion chasers Burnley earlier in the day, at the summit of the table on goal difference. The win was Leeds’ seventh in their last nine games overall, but just their second in their last eight away matches. Advertisement Advertisement As for Stoke, they remain in 19th place – three points outside the relegation zone – having now gone nine games without victory. The hosts created the first opening of the night early on, with Lewis Koumas denied from close range by visiting goalkeeper Illan Meslier after Junior Tchamadeu had pulled the ball back to him. Down at the other end shortly afterwards, Dan James’ cross from the right-hand side was superbly diverted wide of the post by Potters defender Ben Wilmot to almost certainly prevent Manor Solomon from getting on the end of it. Leeds took complete control of the match from then on, with Brenden Aaronson and Jayden Bogle both forcing good saves out of Viktor Johansson from distance. Advertisement Advertisement The away side should have gone in front just after the half-hour mark when James broke free down the right and picked out an unmarked Solomon at the back post, but the Israeli international put the ball wide with his left foot. It came as no surprise when Leeds did finally take the lead in the 42nd minute as Piroe fired home a thunderous shot off the underside of the bar having initially been thwarted in his attempt to round Johansson in the Stoke goal. The visitors’ domination continued into the second half and Piroe probably should have doubled his and his team’s advantage with 52 minutes on the clock, only to head wide from Joe Rothwell’s corner when unmarked. Stoke didn’t show any lack of endeavour though, and they nearly sneaked an equaliser just before the hour mark as substitute Eric Bocat’s cross from the left was headed just wide by Ashley Phillips. Advertisement Advertisement It proved to be a costly miss with Piroe soon nodding in James’ hooked delivery to all but end the match as a contest and increase his goal tally for the season to nine. Leeds had a flurry of opportunities to add a third goal, with Solomon and substitute Mateo Joseph both bending efforts from outside the box narrowly wide and Aaronson calling Johansson into action again to tip a shot over the crossbar. The resulting corner led to another missed chance for Joseph, but it didn’t matter as Daniel Farke’s side made a big move in their push for promotion.

After a dismal start to the season, the New York Giants ( who play in New Jersey ) have officially cut Daniel Jones loose. The beleaguered quarterback had taken responsibility for the NFL team's awful 2-8 start and was recently benched. Giants President John Mara said in a statement shared to X on Friday that Jones asked to be released and the team agreed it "would be best" for all parties. On Thursday, Jones had delivered a heartfelt statement. He said he was grateful to play with the team even as criticism against him had intensified. Meanwhile, fans were already buzzing about the return of New Jersey native Tommy "Cutlets" DeVito as starting QB. Among those most excited has been young New Jersey social media sensation, "The Rizzler." After his burst of fame last year, notching three wins with the team, DeVito has been prepping for his first start of the season. Sunday's game is home at MetLife Stadium against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As soon as news of Jones' release went public, football fans immediately speculated about the rival Dallas Cowboys snapping up the quarterback to play against the Giants on Thanksgiving afternoon.

Two senior members of the federal cabinet were in Florida Friday pushing Canada’s new border plan with Donald Trump’s transition team, a day after Trudeau himself appeared to finally push back at the president-elect over his social media posts about turning Canada into the 51st state. Both Trudeau and former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, who Trudeau has been courting to become Canada’s next finance minister, shared posts on X Thursday, a day after Trump’s latest jab at Canada in his Christmas Day message. It isn’t clear if Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who has repeatedly insisted Trump’s 51st state references are a joke, will raise the issue with Trump’s team when he and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly meet with them in Palm Beach. The two are there to discuss Canada’s new $1.3 billion border plan with just under four weeks left before Trump is sworn in again as president. He has threatened to impose a new 25 per cent import tariff on Canada and Mexico the same day over concerns about a trade imbalance, as well as illegal drugs and migration issues at the borders. The broad strokes of Canada’s plan were made public Dec. 17, including a new aerial intelligence task force to provide round-the-clock surveillance of the border, and improved efforts using technology and canine teams to seek out drugs in shipments leaving Canada LeBlanc’s spokesman, Jean-Sébastien Comeau, said the ministers will also emphasize the negative impacts of Trump’s threatened tariffs on both Canada and the U.S. Comeau said the ministers will build on the discussions that took place last month when Trudeau and LeBlanc met Trump at Mar-a-Lago just days after Trump first made his tariff threat. It was at that dinner on Nov. 29 when Trump first raised the notion of Canada becoming the 51st state, a comment LeBlanc has repeatedly since insisted was just a joke. But Trump has continued the quip repeatedly in various social media posts, including in his Christmas Day message when he said Canadians would pay lower taxes and have better military protection if they became Americans. He has taken to calling Trudeau “governor” instead of prime minister. Trudeau had not directly responded to any of the jabs, but on Thursday posted a link to a six-minute long video on YouTube from 2010 in which American journalist Tom Brokaw “explains Canada to Americans.” The video, which originally aired during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, explains similarities between the two countries, including their founding based on immigration, their trading relationship and the actions of the Canadian Army in World War 2 and other modern conflicts. “In the long history of sovereign neighbours there has never been a relationship as close, productive and peaceful as the U.S. and Canada,” Brokaw says in the video. Trudeau did not expand about why he posted a link to the video, posting it only with the words “some information about Canada for Americans.” Carney, who is at the centre of some of Trudeau’s recent domestic political troubles, also called out Trump’s antics on X Thursday, calling it “casual disrespect” and “carrying the ‘joke’ too far.” “Time to call it out, stand up for Canada, and build a true North American partnership,” said Carney, who Trudeau was courting to join his cabinet before Chrystia Freeland resigned as finance minister last week. Freeland’s sudden departure, three days after Trudeau informed her he would be firing her as finance minister in favour of Carney, left Trudeau’s leadership even more bruised than it already was. Despite the expectation Carney would assume the role, he did not and has not made any statements about it. LeBlanc was sworn in as finance minister instead the same day Freeland quit. More than two dozen Liberal MPs have publicly called on Trudeau to resign as leader, and Trudeau is said to be taking the holidays to think about his next steps. He is currently vacationing in British Columbia.

Boise State offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter cut straight to the point when asked about it Thursday afternoon: Too much is being made of the rest running back Ashton Jeanty has been getting prior to the Broncos’ Fiesta Bowl matchup against Penn State on Tuesday. By the time Boise State takes the field in Glendale, Arizona for their first-ever College Football Playoff game, it will have been 25 days since the Broncos (12-1) beat UNLV 21-7 in the Mountain West Championship game. Meanwhile, the Nittany Lions (12-2) played and beat SMU on Dec. 21 in their first-round game. For former Idaho State player Koetter, who has a coaching career spanning more than 40 years, including at Highland High School, there’s not really an advantage to having the extra time off. “I don’t think there is (an advantage),” Koetter said. “I think most teams this time of the year that are playing well, which I think if you’re winning games, you’re playing well, would rather play than rest. The time off scares me more than it helps us.” Koetter admits that the time off does help players like offensive lineman Mason Randolph, who suffered a bicep injury in the season opener that kept him out nearly three months. But generally, he would always rather get back on the field as opposed to waiting nearly a month between games. “Going against your scout team every day is different than going against a real team, let alone a team that’s as good as Penn State,” Koetter said. “There’s a speed difference. With the time off, it’s been a really good schedule that Coach (Spencer) Danielson put together as far as giving guys time off for Christmas, giving guys time off to get their bodies back. But me personally, I’d rather keep playing. But that’s just me.” After spending the last three weeks getting ready for their College Football Playoff game, with three days off for Christmas on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Boise State is scheduled to fly to Arizona on Saturday for two days of pregame media availabilities and a couple of more practices before game day. All that being said, the Broncos feel like the preparation has kept them ready to face the Nittany Lions. Jeanty, who had more than 30 carries in seven of Boise State’s last eight games said Thursday that the elbow injury which has nagged at him over the second half of the season has healed. “I feel really good about it,” Jeanty said about the rest. “Football is a very physical sport, and our offense, we pride ourselves on physicality. I think it will do us all well, having this time off. It’s been a little while since we’ve played football, but I’m confident in our preparation with how we’ve been working. We’re all back now, so we can put some more work in and get ready.” Jeanty pointed to the last time he had multiple weeks to prepare for an opponent as what he can do when fresh. In the season opener at Georgia Southern, Jeanty had 267 rushing yards and six touchdowns, both school records. It jumpstarted a season that sees him enter the Fiesta Bowl with 2,497 rushing yards, just 131 yards short of the single-season NCAA record set by Barry Sanders at Oklahoma State, who hit the mark in 11 games. “Georgia Southern, week one, after that you don’t really get this much time off. It’s been a blessing to have this much time off, but last time I was feeling super fresh, you saw what I did. So, hopefully it’s not just me but the whole offense and defense, we can all play our best game.”Giants star WR Malik Nabers (toe) says he's a game-time decision
