It’s an adage as old as the league itself. Get hot at the right time. You want to be playing your best football as the playoffs approach. The stretch run to the playoffs starts on Thanksgiving. For playoff-caliber teams, winning in December leads to winning in January. Matt LaFleur’s post-Thanksgiving record as coach of the Packers is as good as anyone could reasonably hope. The 2024 Packers continuing that success should lead to a deep run in the playoffs. Five Years of Late-Season Success Matt LaFleur became the head coach of the Green Bay Packers before the 2019 season. That 2019 team was 8-3 heading into Thanksgiving week but only had a +16-point differential. The standard complaint around that team was its record was schedule driven and they weren’t real contenders. That team finished the season 5-0, earned a bye, and would reach the NFC Championship Game. The 2020 season saw the NFL change its playoff format so only the best team in each conference would receive a bye. The 2020 Packers topped the NFC and earned that bye thanks to its 6-0 record after Thanksgiving. That team similarly reached the Conference final before succumbing to Tom Brady’s Buccaneers. Two seasons under the new format, two byes for Matt LaFleur’s Packers. The 2021 team won the first five games after the Thanksgiving holiday to run LaFleur’s post-Thanksgiving record to 16-0. The final win in that stretch clinched the bye and home-field advantage in the playoffs, leading LaFleur to rest his starters in the second half of the meaningless final game in Detroit. That meaningless game would become LaFleur’s first late-season loss but gave Jordan Love some valuable experience. The only season of LaFleur’s tenure that didn’t end in the playoffs was 2022. That team still gave itself a chance to get by going 4-1 in the first five games after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, they couldn’t close the deal and ultimately dropped the finale to Detroit again. However, an 8-9 team finishing the season 4-2 still meant they were playing their best ball at the right time. The 2023 Packers returned to the playoffs on the strength of a 5-2 closing stretch. That team was 3-6 before winning the Sunday before Thanksgiving. That win was a springboard to a Thanksgiving Day win in Detroit. Subsequently, they beat the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs and consolidated the confidence they would need to drive into the playoffs and demolish the Cowboys in Dallas. Altogether, Matt LaFleur’s Packers teams have gone 25-5 in games played on or after Thanksgiving. If you translated that .833 winning percentage over a 17-game regular season, you’d have a 14-3 record. 30 games is almost two full seasons worth, so this is not a small sample size fluke. Super Bowl Teams Post-Thanksgiving To put in perspective how good LaFleur’s record is, consider how teams that reach the Super Bowl fare in post-Thanksgiving games. Since 2019 those teams are a combined 46-17. That translates to a .730 winning percentage. Matt LaFleur’s post-Thanksgiving record is significantly better than even the teams you would expect to have the best records if the adages are true. Kansas City has reached four of the five Super Bowls since 2019. Andy Reid’s Chiefs teams have a 20-5 record in post-Thanksgiving games in those four Super Bowl seasons. The great Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes combination has barely been as good as Matt LaFleur with Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love following Turkey Day. Applying to the Remaining Schedule The Packers have five games remaining in the regular season. If they continue winning games at the rate they have under LaFleur’s tenure, they would expect to win four of those games. That would make their final record 13-4. If three of those wins were to come against Detroit, Minnesota, and Chicago, the Packers would likely win the NFC North division and get their first playoff game at Lambeau Field . It’s unlikely they would be able to pass Philadelphia for home-field advantage and a first-round bye, but winning what may be the best division in the history of the league would be a major momentum-builder going into the post-season tournament. Pulling the Strings Ultimately, it’s the players who are on the field and winning games. They deserve their share of credit for this resounding success. But there’s too much success smoke here to think there isn’t a fire. LaFleur speaks frequently of his team’s “one-game mentality”. Perhaps that mentality keeps them focused on the task at hand instead of looking at a shrinking big picture. Perhaps there’s something else he’s telling the team or a different way he’s preparing the team late in the season. Maybe it’s something he does in the early season that manifests later. Whatever he’s doing, Matt LaFleaur’s post-Thanksgiving record is remarkable and should be appreciated as such. This article first appeared on PackersTalk.com and was syndicated with permission.

Jury awards $310 million to parents of teen killed in fall from Orlando amusement park ride ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The parents of a 14-year-old Missouri boy who fell to his death from a Florida amusement park ride has won a $310 million verdict against the attraction's Austrian builder. The Orlando jury on Thursday ordered Funtime to pay Tyre Sampson's parents $155 million each. The trial lasted only a day as Funtime never appeared in court to defend itself. Icon Park had already settled with Sampson’s family for an undisclosed amount. Sampson stood 6 foot, 2 inches tall and weighed 380 pounds. He fell from the Orlando Free Fall ride at Icon Park because the harness did not fit him and he wasn't warned. Princess of Wales takes another step in return to public life after chemotherapy with carol service LONDON (AP) — The Princess of Wales is taking another step in her return to public life following cancer treatment as she hosts her annual Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey. This year’s concert is designed to celebrate the support people give to one another, especially as they struggle through difficult times, a theme that may have particular resonance for the princess after abdominal surgery and chemotherapy forced her to step back from public duties for much of 2024.

Alternative healer gets 10 years in UK prison for death of woman at slap therapy workshop LONDON (AP) — An alternative healer who advocated “slapping therapy” to treat a range of maladies has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for the death of a 71-year-old diabetic woman who stopped taking insulin during his workshop. Hongchi Xiao, 61, was sentenced Friday after being convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence for failing to get medical help for Danielle Carr-Gomm in 2016. Prosecutors say she was howling in pain and frothing at the mouth during the fourth day of a workshop. The California healer promoted paida lajin therapy that advocates slapping to release “poisonous waste” from the body. He was previously convicted of manslaughter in the death of a six-year-old boy in Australia. Stellantis recalling more than 300,000 Ram trucks for braking system defect Stellantis is recalling more than 300,000 Ram Heavy Duty pickup trucks because a faulty part could cause certain braking and tracking systems to fail.

El Salvador's president is triumphant after his bet on bitcoin comes true SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele is triumphant about his big bet on bitcoin as the cryptocurrency reached historic highs, surpassing $100,000 for the first time. Bitcoin has been legal tender in the country since 2021 but it never quite matched the president’s enthusiasm. The value of the government’s reported investment now stands at more than $600 million. Bitcoin has rallied mightily since Donald Trump’s election victory last month, exceeding the $100,000 mark on Wednesday night, just hours after the president-elect said he intends to nominate cryptocurrency advocate Paul Atkins to be the next chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Golden Knights ride 5-goal period to 6-2 win over the CanadiensRoy Keane suggested Ruben Amorim has a ‘massive job on his hands’ after he oversaw his first defeat as Manchester United manager in a comprehensive 2-0 win at Arsenal. Arsenal reduced Liverpool’s lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points with a crucial against United at the Emirates Stadium. After Fabian Schar’s late equaliser denied Liverpool victory at St James’ Park, Mikel Arteta’s men were offered the chance to inch closer to the summit. And the Gunners did not disappoint with Jurrien Timber and William Saliba both scoring from corners in the second half to provide the hosts with a win that kept their title hopes alive. Keane gave his verdict on a Stick To Football special on YouTube, as he suggested the flaws that have undermined United for the last few years will be tough for Amorim to erase. "You are on about these players, but what are we expecting from them? What have we seen from them for the last three or four years? This is what we have seen," said Keane. "We've seen them do well in the cup but in the league, this is what we’ve seen. “What was I expecting? For Man United to go and win at Arsenal? No, but I was expecting them to have a go and if they get beat 2-1 or 3-1, but they must be sitting in the dressing room afterwards wondering what happened. Read more "They need to look in the mirror and ask if they gave everything tonight. Arsenal will be looking back saying ‘that wasn't too bad’. "I’m really disappointed with Manchester United. I thought the players were going through the motions a little bit. “He’s only in the door, but the manager’s probably thinking he thought United were a bit better than this. I was getting really frustrated at the end there.” Keane also suggested United’s hope of a top four finish in the Premier League may be forlorn after their latest disappointing display. "It shows you what a job Amorim has to do there,” he continued. “It’s a massive job. That was obviously their toughest game and they have come up well short. "When you see them come up against a good team like Arsenal, they are a long way off. "I can’t see United finishing in the top six. Can you? "It’s good that he has come in now and he’s taking the hits rather than everyone expecting him to fix it if had a pre-season. It’s a massive job he’s taken on.” Keane also gave his verdict on the title race on a night when Liverpool’s 3-3 draw at Newcastle meant their lead at the top of the table was trimmed to seven points after wins for Arsenal and Chelsea. "I’ll stick with Liverpool,” he added. “Obviously they will be kicking themselves to draw, but they scored three goals away from home and they have a big game at Everton at the weekend.” Read more
Jimmy Carter’s critics turned his name into a synonym for weakness over the Iranian hostage crisis. But by any measure, he also scored major achievements on the world stage through his mix of moralism and painstaking personal diplomacy. The 39th president of the United States, who died at age 100 on Sunday, transformed the Middle East by brokering the Camp David Accords, which established an enduring and once inconceivable peace between Israel and its most serious adversary at the time, Egypt. Carter again brought a sense of righteousness and nearly obsessive attention to detail to negotiate the return of the Panama Canal to Panama, defying furor by US conservatives. In two decisions with lengthy reverberations, Carter followed up on Richard Nixon’s opening by recognizing communist China, and he began arming jihadists in Afghanistan who fought back against the Soviet Union, which would collapse a decade later. But Carter was crushed by Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election in no small part due to foreign affairs after religious hard-liners toppled Iran’s shah and seized US embassy staff, whose 444 days in captivity were broadcast nightly on US television. Carter ordered an aborted rescue mission in which eight US troops died in a helicopter crash. Asked at a 2015 news conference about his biggest regret, Carter replied: “I wish I’d sent one more helicopter to get the hostages — and we would have rescued them and I would have been reelected.” – Nagging ‘weak’ attack – The Iran debacle led to attacks that Carter was “weak,” an image he would struggle to shake off as Republicans cast him as the archetypal contrast to their muscular brand of foreign policy. The former peanut farmer’s public persona did little to help, from a widely panned speech pleading for shared sacrifice to an incident that went the pre-internet version of viral in which Carter shooed away a confrontational rabbit from his fishing boat. Robert Strong, a professor at Washington and Lee University who wrote a book on Carter’s foreign policy, said the late president had been inept in public relations by allowing the “weak” label to stick. “The people who worked with Carter said exactly the opposite — he was stubborn, fiercely independent and anything but weak,” Strong said. “That doesn’t mean he was always right, but he wasn’t someone who held his finger in the wind allowing whatever the current opinion was to win.” Strong said that Carter defied his political advisors and even his wife Rosalynn by pushing quickly on the Panama Canal, convinced of the injustice of the 1903 treaty that gave the meddlesome United States the zone in perpetuity. “Every president says, ‘I don’t care about public opinion, I’ll really do what’s right,'” Strong said. “Most of the time when they say that, it’s not true. To a surprising extent with Carter, it was true.” – Carter and Iran – Carter, a devout Christian, vowed to elevate human rights after the cold realpolitik of Nixon and Henry Kissinger. Years after the fact, he could name political prisoners freed following his intervention in their cases, and took pride in coaxing the Soviet Union to let thousands of Jewish citizens emigrate. But the rights focus came to a head on Iran when Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi — a Western ally whose autocratic rule by decree brought economic and social modernization — faced growing discontent. Reflecting debate throughout the administration, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Carter’s more hawkish national security advisor, believed the shah should crush the protests — a time-tested model in the Middle East. Secretary of state Cyrus Vance, who would later quit in opposition to the ill-fated helicopter raid, wanted reforms by the shah. Stuart Eizenstat, a top adviser to Carter, acknowledged mistakes on Iran, which the president had called an “island of stability” on a New Year’s Eve visit a little more than a year before the revolution that ultimately saw the shah flee the country. But Eizenstat said Carter could not have known how much the shah had lost support or that he was to die from cancer within months. “It was the single worst intelligence failure in American history,” Eizenstat said in 2018 as he presented a book assessing Carter as a success. – Peacemaker legacy – Uniquely among modern US presidents, much of Carter’s legacy came after he left the White House. He won the Nobel Peace Prize more than two decades after his defeat at the polls. The Carter Center, which he established in his home state of Georgia, has championed democracy and global health, observing elections in dozens of countries and virtually eradicating guinea worm, a painful infectious parasite. Carter also took risks that few others of his stature would. He paid a landmark visit to North Korea in 1994, helping avert conflict, and infuriated Israel by asking if its treatment of the Palestinians constituted “apartheid.” But the accusations of weakness never went away. Conservative academic William Russell Mead, in a 2010 essay in Foreign Policy magazine, called on then-president Barack Obama to avoid “Carter Syndrome,” which he described as “weakness and indecision” and “incoherence and reversals.” Carter personally responded in a letter that listed accomplishments on the Camp David accords, China, the Soviet Union and human rights, while describing the fall of Iran’s shah as “obviously unpredictable.” “Although it is true that we did not become involved in military combat during my presidency, I do not consider this a sign of weakness or reason for apology,” he wrote.
