The hunt for a franchise quarterback is on for the New York Giants . The G-Men released former six-year starting quarterback Daniel Jones mid-season, marking the end of an era and paving the way for a new franchise signal-caller to take over in 2025. The Giants are projected to pick near the top of the 2025 NFL Draft. Mock drafts typically have them landing one of the current consensus top-two quarterback prospects, Miami’s Cam Ward or Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders. However, a third quarterback prospect for the Giants to consider could be flying up the boards after an electric performance in the Big Ten Championship. Could the Giants target Drew Allar in the 2025 NFL Draft? Penn State quarterback Drew Allar is seldom brought up in the conversation for the 2025 NFL Draft class’s top quarterback prospects. However, his stock has been rising in recent weeks and spiked significantly on Saturday following his strong outing against Oregon in the Big Ten Championship. While Penn State ultimately lost the game to the nation’s No. 1 ranked university, Allar stood out in the game and caught the eyes of scouts and analysts. He went 20-of-39 passing for 226 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions, plus five carries for 54 yards and one rushing touchdown. Allar’s stat line was a bit of a mixed bag, as is he as a prospect. His 2023 season was filled with highs and lows as Allar flashed elite potential and upside but demonstrated how raw and underdeveloped he is as a prospect. Allar is moving up draft boards Allar is receiving a lot of buzz following his performance against Oregon. Kyle Crabbs of The 33rd Team gave a glowing review of Allar in his recent scouting report: “Allar has perhaps the best tools of any quarterback eligible for the 2025 Draft,” Crabbs wrote ( via The 33rd Team on X ). “...Teams looking for a plug-and-play starter should tread carefully, but those with a consistent system and coaching structure should not wait too long in their bids to get their hands on him. He has all of the position’s uncoachable elements and, in the right environment, could grow and develop into an impact starter.” Crabbs compared Allar to who Buffalo Bills superstar QB Josh Allen was as a prospect coming out of Wyoming in 2018. Like Allar, Allen had question marks about his experience, accuracy, and refinement coming out of college. But proper coaching unlocked Allen’s potential and he is now a perennial MVP candidate. Similarly to Allen coming out of Wyoming, Allar has unlimited upside. If he is drafted into the right situation and receives proper coaching, the sky is the limit for the Penn State product. The Giants could be the team that falls in love with Allar, especially if they keep head coach Brian Daboll, who was the man behind Allen’s development in Buffalo. Allar might check the franchise boxes and give the Giants superstar potential under center.

A melee broke out at midfield of Ohio Stadium after Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday. After the Wolverines' fourth straight win in the series, players converged at the block "O" to plant its flag. The Ohio State players were in the south end zone singing their alma mater in front of the student section. When the Buckeyes saw the Wolverines' flag, they rushed toward the 50-yard line. Social media posts showed Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson carrying the flag on a long pole to midfield, where the Wolverines were met by dozens of Ohio State players and fights broke out. Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer was seen ripping the flag off the pole and taking the flag as he scuffled with several people trying to recover the flag. A statement from the Ohio State Police Department read: "Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games and will continue to investigate." Michigan running back Kalel Mullings on FOX said: "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game. It's bad for the sport, bad for college football. At the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose, man. "You can't be fighting and stuff just because you lost the game. We had 60 minutes and four quarters to do all that fighting. Now people want to talk and fight. That's wrong. It's bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better." Once order was restored, officers cordoned the 50-yard line, using bicycles as barriers. Ohio State coach Ryan Day in his postgame press conference said he wasn't sure what happened. "I don't know all the details of it. But I know that these guys are looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren't going to let that happen," he said. "I'll find out exactly what happened, but this is our field and certainly we're embarrassed at the fact we lost the game, but there's some prideful guys on our team that weren't just going to let that happen." The Big Ten has not yet released a statement on the incident. --Field Level MediaSaturday, November 23, 2024 The Hampton Inn & Suites Cleveland-Beachwood is excited to announce the completion of a major renovation.

NEW YORK — Stoli Group USA, the owner of the namesake vodka , has filed for bankruptcy as it struggled to contend with slowing demand for spirits, a major cyberattack that has snarled its operations and several years of fighting Russia in court. The company in its bankruptcy filing said it is “experiencing financial difficulties” and lists between $50 million and $100 million in liabilities. Stoli vodka and Kentucky Owl bourbon will continue to be available on store shelves while the company navigates the Chapter 11 process, which only pertains to its U.S. business. Until 2022, Stoli was sold as Stolichnaya in the United States, which loosely translates to “capital city” in Russian. The company shortened its title following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and boycotts against Russian-branded vodkas . Stoli Group’s founder, Russian-born billionaire Yuri Shefler, was exiled from that nation in 2000 because of his opposition to President Vladimir Putin. People are also reading... Intel announced on December 2 that CEO Pat Gelsinger has resigned after a difficult stint at the company. The once-dominant chipmaker’s stock cratered as it missed the AI boom and was surpassed by most of its rivals. The liquor has long been marketed as a Russian vodka, but its production facilities have been in Latvia for several decades. Stoli Group is a unit of Luxembourg-based SPI Group, which owns other spirit and wine brands. “The Stoli Group has been targeted by the Russian Federation since it was formed nearly 25 years ago,” said Stoli Group CEO Chris Caldwell in a statement. “Earlier this year the company and our owner were both named by the Russian state as ‘extremist groups working against Russia’s interests.’” Its ongoing legal battle with the Russia government has forced Stoli to “spend dozens of millions of dollars on this long-term court battle across the globe with the Russian authorities,” according to its court filing. Caldwell also said that Stoli’s global operations has been a “victim of a malicious cyber attack” that has forced the company to operate “entirely manually while the systems are rebuilt.” A slowdown in demand for alcohol has crushed several company’s bottom lines following the pandemic when people were stuck at home and stocked up. Stoli’s filings said that it has seen a “decline and softening of demand for alcohol and spirits products post-Covid and especially beginning in 2023 and continuing into 2024.” Stoli Group USA, maker of Stoli vodka, has filed for bankruptcy due to slowing demand for spirits, a major cyberattack, and ongoing legal battles with Russia.

Cambridge, Massachusetts, best known as the brainy backyard of Harvard University and MIT, has been crowned the top destination for young, wealthy professionals looking to escape the chaos of big cities, according to a new report by GOBankingRates . Forget Manhattan’s skyline or LA’s beaches — this study reveals that young high earners now prioritize safety, livability and a chance to grow their wealth. Cambridge, with its historic charm, cultural vibrancy and proximity to Boston, ticks all the right boxes. More than 40% of Cambridge’s residents are between 25 and 44 years old, and more than half of those households earn at least $150,000 annually — the income threshold deemed “wealthy” by the study. The city also boasts a stellar livability score of 86 out of 100, driven by low crime rates and its easy access to Boston’s booming job market. Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com , said in a separate report that the region’s success is due to its appeal for high-paying industries. “The region is an education hub, home to many top universities, and as a result, attracts workers in high-paying knowledge industries like technology and research,” she said. Runner-up spots for young and affluent professionals went to Jersey City, New Jersey, and Santa Clara, California. Rounding out the top 10 were Hillsboro, Oregon; Sandy Springs, Georgia; and Sunnyvale, California. Texas, however, dominated the broader top 50 list, with cities like Austin, Dallas and Irving attracting high earners eager to stake their claim in the Lone Star State. But Cambridge isn’t the only Massachusetts city on top. Springfield, just 90 minutes west of Boston, has become the hottest real estate market in the US, according to Realtor.com. Homes in Springfield are attracting three times the national average in views and selling in just 37 days — well below the 62-day national average. “One of the reasons that markets around Boston have done so well is the success of Boston itself,” Hale said.
UNIVERSAL ROBINA Corp. (URC) shares dropped last week as challenges outweighed the opening of a new flour mill in Quezon. URC was the seventh most actively traded stock last week with 14.26 million shares worth P1.11 billion changing hands from Dec. 2-6, data from the Philippine Stock Exchange showed. Shares of the Gokongwei-led food and beverage company closed at P76.15 apiece, 3.6% lower than the P78.95 close on Nov. 29. For the year, the stock’s price fell 35.6% from a P118.2 close on the last trading day of 2023. Analysts attributed the weaker week-on-week close to the lingering effects of its earnings report released on Nov. 12 and higher inflation in November. “In our view, the recent decline in the stock price [last] week appears to be a continuation of the negative sentiment following last month’s dismal earnings. This spillover effect suggests that investors’ confidence remains fragile as concerns over its near-term prospects persist,” Jemimah Ryla R. Alfonso, equity analyst at Unicapital Securities, Inc., said in an e-mail. For the third quarter, URC posted a net attributable income of P1.42 billion, falling 53.7% from P3.07 billion in the same period last year. The company’s revenues likewise dropped 1.81% to P38.14 billion in the third quarter. “It is hard to say how long the negative effects from its earnings report will last,” Mercantile Securities Corp. Head Trader Jeff Radley C. See said in a Viber message. “The latest inflation data may have also added to the decline in investors’ sentiment [last] week,” Ms. Alfonso added. Inflation quickened to 2.5% in November, as typhoons increased prices, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said on Dec. 5. Meanwhile, the Department of Agriculture (DA) said on Dec. 1 that the opening of URC’s flour milling factory in Quezon province is seen to improve production. Spanning 10 hectares, the plant is expected to increase URC’s flour capacity to 3,500 metric tons per day. The DA said that the plant is expected to “play a key role in ensuring a stable and affordable supply of products.” “While the recent capacity expansion may be viewed as a positive news for the firm, it appears that it did not provide enough padding for the continued gloomy outlook for URC [last] week. Investors remain focused on the broader challenges that the company is facing including the negative price mix, struggling feed volumes, and the drop in sugar profits,” Ms. Alfonso said. “Our consolidated net income forecast for URC stands at P2.4B, with an expected topline growth of 6% to P168.4B,” she added. Mr. See saw resistance at P88 and support at P70. Ms. Alfonso pegged her support between P73-75.8 and resistance between P80.25-86.25. “Chart-wise, URC remains in a bearish trend. A shift in bias would require the stock to recover and sustain levels above P86 in the short term,” Ms. Alfonso concluded. — Karis Kasarinlan Paolo D.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies have no plans to pitch prized prospect Andrew Painter in spring training games as he recovers from Tommy John surgery. The 21-year-old Painter hurt his elbow during spring training in 2023 and had surgery that July 25 with Los Angeles Dodgers head team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Painter was the 13th overall pick in the 2021 amateur draft and signed for a $3.9 million bonus. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.

Drug policy and harm reduction organizations are celebrating a small victory after the province repealed Bill 34 last week. Bill 34, the Restricting Public Consumption of Illegal Substances Act, would have rolled back the freedoms granted under British Columbia’s decriminalization pilot project. Decriminalization lets people 18 and older carry a combined total of 2.5 grams of opioids, crack and powder cocaine, meth and MDMA for personal use. The pilot project does not allow people to use drugs near children, for example schools or child-care facilities, or in airports or cars. Following public outcry to a perceived increase in public drug use, the province introduced Bill 34 in November 2023, which further limited where people could publicly use drugs and gave police additional powers to police people using drugs, or who they suspected of having done so in the past. But the bill was never implemented. The non-profit Harm Reduction Nurses Association fought Bill 34, arguing it would push people to use drugs alone thereby increasing their risk of dying of overdose. Unregulated drug toxicity is the leading cause of death in B.C. for people aged 10 to 59, with more people dying from drug poisoning than from homicide, suicide, accidents and natural disease combined. In late December 2023 a Supreme Court of BC justice granted an injunction, agreeing with the Harm Reduction Nurses Association that the bill would cause “irreparable harms,” by isolating people who use drugs and saying it needed to assess whether the bill violated Charter rights. Before the Supreme Court of BC could complete its assessment, the province repealed the bill. The Tyee reached out to the province for comment about the court case, the repeal of the bill, and to respond to criticism from advocates late Friday, but did not hear back by press time Monday, given holiday hours and the tight turnaround. In an April press release, then-minister of public safety and solicitor general Mike Farnworth said the province was balancing the rolling back of decriminalization of public drug use with expanding access to treatment. In a Dec. 19 press release, the new Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Garry Begg said, “Decriminalizing the possession of a small amount of certain illegal drugs for personal use is a life-saving measure and one action the province is taking to address the toxic-drug crisis. This must be balanced with the needs of people who want to enjoy community spaces, parks and local businesses without encountering open drug use.” Only a small victory Repealing the legislation is only a “small” victory because the province found another way to introduce some its policies, says DJ Larkin, executive director of the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition. Larkin says these polices are harmful to people who use drugs. In April 2024 the B.C. government asked Health Canada to amend the decriminalization pilot project, banning public drug use so that the only places it is allowed is overdose prevention sites, private residences and legal tenting spaces for unhoused folks. Sarah Lovegrove, vice-president of the Harm Reduction Nurses Association, dubs this “recriminalization.” The only difference between the decriminalization amendment and Bill 34 is that it didn’t give police enhanced powers to arrest people for drug use or suspected drug use, she said. “It represents a small victory over laws and policies that are disproportionately harming people and targeting specific communities at risk of toxic drug poisoning,” she added. Lovegrove characterizes the amendment as an “egregious side stepping of court proceedings.” The province was able to take the drug policies the courts said would cause irreparable harm and ask Health Canada to implement them instead of doing it through its own legislation, she said. “From a public policy perspective, it is very concerning that government would avoid [the courts] by recreating those harms through another means,” said Larkin. Larkin, who is also a lawyer, says this move by the province was “quite unique” and compared it to enacting the notwithstanding clause. “Going around a court decision like this is a real sign the government is acting in a way that is not respectful of the court’s decision and not respectful of the evidence of the harms this policy creates,” they said. “When a court says this law could do irreparable harm, that is not an activist statement. It is merely the court saying, ‘this is what the evidence shows me,’” they said. “Governments need to take heed of that.” Pop-up OPS returning to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital It’s good that discretionary police powers weren’t expanded further because people who use drugs already have to navigate widely varying responses between police officers or police forces, said Dr. Ryan Herriot, a spokesperson for Doctors for Safer Drug Policy and a family and addictions medicine doctor in Victoria. In November the organization set up two unsanctioned overdose prevention sites near Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria. The responses to these two unsanctioned sites are illustrative in terms of the varying responses between police forces. While an unsanctioned overdose prevention site was able to run as planned in Nanaimo, it hit a snag in Victoria, where volunteers were told to take down a tent and said people were not allowed to use drugs in the area. Ultimately what is driving toxic drug deaths is a toxic drug supply, stigma and isolation, Lovegrove said. “None of these factors are solved by criminalization and the emergency is being made infinitely worse by these colliding housing and affordability crises.” “We need real solutions that are driven by evidence and not politics,” she added. Lovegrove says that a group of 13 non-profits, including the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users and the Western Aboriginal Harm Reduction Society, have applied for a judicial review on the province’s decision to amend its decriminalization project. Herriot says Doctors for Safer Drug Policy will also be back with more pop-up overdose prevention sites near the Nanaimo Hospital on Dec. 28, and from Jan. 4 to 7. More pop-up overdose prevention sites might be coming to other hospitals across B.C. and Canada. Herriot says they’ve had around 20 groups reach out and ask how they could set up their own local overdose prevention site.French PM Bayrou defends choices to lead country out of 'difficult situation'
