The Dallas Cowboys might have picked up a recent win over an NFC East rival in the Washington Commanders, but they still have overarching problems. Sure, they went out and won the game, but it took a rocky special teams game and the Cowboys' defense stepping up in a big way. The Cowboys ended up coming away with a big 34-26 road victory over the Commanders. They advanced to 4-7 on the season with the win. However, Dallas is still playing backup quarterback Cooper Rush with Dak Prescott sidelined with injury. They've still got other major roster holes and inefficiencies. Even with the win, it would appear as if Mike McCarthy will be on his way out of the DFW after this season. His tenure with the club will likely come to an end at the season's end, and the Cowboys will look for the next head man to lead the squad. Many have tossed around plenty of ideas. One of the most popular suggestions for the Cowboys' potential eventual head coaching vacancy is legendary Dallas superstar Deion Sanders, who was magnificent at every level of football he played. However, a Jason Witten rumor has started to swirl. The former tight end was a Cowboys superstar and icon. He's another name that's beloved in the city. Former Cowboys wide receiver and teammate of Witten, Dez Bryant, loves the move, as he made clear on social media. "I saw a rumor about Jason Witten for the Dallas Cowboys coaching job! I love it!" Bryant shared on social media. I saw a rumor about Jason Witten for the Dallas Cowboys coaching job! I love it! 👀 Witten played in Dallas for 16 years, coming away with 11 Pro Bowl nods. His coaching experience is coaching at a local high school, however, which could limit the role in which he could land with the Cowboys. As an assistant, Witten could thrive. He could learn from a seasoned head coach and eventually take the keys to the franchise as a legend within the building. The rumor is quite interesting, and it would help Jerry Jones capture the hearts of Cowboys fans -- who are quite upset with him amid the team's brutal season.

It seems reports of a Celtic ‘blip’ following their goalless draw at Tannadice just before Christmas were greatly exaggerated. Though talk of remaining calm and resisting the urge to panic among the support did rather amuse manager Brendan Rodgers . As a hugely successful year for Celtic draws to a close with St Johnstone’s visit to Glasgow’s east end tomorrow, it is a natural juncture for Rodgers to reflect on where his side have come from to sit where they are now, comfortably back on top of the Premiership and indeed, the Scottish game. Celtic have only lost twice so far in 2024, once away to Hearts in March, and then to Borussia Dortmund in this season’s Champions League, and you would get long odds on the league’s bottom side adding to that tally of defeats for the champions. “This time last year we'd lost a couple of games and drawn maybe three,” Rodgers said. “I can't have too many complaints really. “I heard someone say the other day there's no need to panic. That was an interesting one! Some of the supporters were saying there's no need to panic because we drew a game. “My idea is the long game. I've got to look after the whole campaign and get us through game after game when it's so busy. And until this point and this year, the players have been absolutely fantastic, having only lost two games [in 2024]. It's been absolutely superb. “One of them away with 10 men and then one against the Champions League finalists. Apart from that, the players' mentality and their focus and their drive has been relentless. “We want to finish off 2024, in a really good way and the players have been superb.” Celtic rediscovered their scoring touch against Motherwell on Boxing Day after that Tannadice stalemate, but what has perhaps gone under the radar a little has been their excellent defensive record at the other end, conceding just four goals so far in 17 league matches this season.

I like a team that's adaptable and can play in all the phases of the game. “This is a team that, as you've seen, can press, can be aggressive, can be relentless within that. There's also times when they can play on the counter-attack. There's also times whenever they can defend that wee bit deeper and be resolute. And then there are games where we can really dominate and create. “So, I think that's been a pleasing aspect over 2024, the adaptability in the team to play in different phases of the game. “Our intent is always to create goals and score goals. But that also is through your defensive tightness and organisation and pressing. As a team, the balance has been really good.” On the face of it, a home game against St Johnstone may usually be expected to pose a similar challenge to the one Celtic faced from Dundee United and Motherwell over their last two matches, with the opposition setting up in a low block and hoping to frustrate his team. (Image: Jane Barlow - PA) Under Simo Valakari’s stewardship though, the Saints have been more expansive in style, despite their rather desperate situation in the table, and Rodgers is unsure what to expect as a result. “It’s interesting,” he said. “Because I think since the new manager has come in, he's started off with a diamond whereas recently I've seen him more with a 4-4-2. But I think his ethos is to play football, to take the ball, to pass the ball and create opportunities. “It's a quick turnaround from [Thursday]. So, it might be a similar game, maybe a different set-up in terms of the system. But maybe a similar game, similar set-up: be compact and rely on players breaking out. “The onus is on us. We want to impose our way and we'll prepare now and get ready for that. Bring that freshness and finish the year really well.”
Hundreds of people have staged a demonstration in Dublin in “utter solidarity” with Nikita Hand, who won a civil case against MMA fighter Conor McGregor. Ms Hand, who accused Mr McGregor of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a civil case at the High Court in the capital on Friday. Advertisement She was described as “incredibly brave” and celebrated for “standing up for survivors” of assault by those who attended the demonstration in Dublin. Mr McGregor has said in social media posts that he intends to appeal against the decision. Monday’s protest march was organised by the socialist feminist movement group Rosa to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Advertisement Nikita Hand won her civil case against MMA fighter Conor McGregor (Brian Lawless/PA) Participants chanted “stand with Nikita” and “no more fear, no more shaming – we reject your victim blaming” as they carried signs and banners through the capital’s streets. The demonstration was bookended by speeches from attendees including organisers Ruth Coppinger, a councillor and general election candidate for People Before Profit in Dublin West, and Natasha O’Brien, who became a national figure in activism on violence against women after a soldier received a suspended sentence for assaulting her. Ms Coppinger told the crowd that Ms Hand, who she characterised as “an incredibly brave woman”, was watching live video of the event remotely.

She said the “overwhelming support of the Irish public is definitely with Nikita”. Advertisement On a cold night in Dublin, Ms O’Brien was cheered as she told those gathered that she was “in awe” of Ms Hand’s courage. She said Ireland let out a collective “sigh of relief” after the jury in the civil case found in favour of Ms Hand in her case against Mr McGregor. Advertisement “But, for me – it was a split second because in came all these questions flooding in: Why did Nikita have to fight alone?” She added: “This really hits home for me, it is like a kick in the guts.” She said she had cried “so many tears” over the weeks of the trial. Ms O’Brien said Ms Hand had refused to be ignored. Women take part in a solidarity demonstration in Dublin (Cillian Sherlock/PA) Mr McGregor had faced an accusation that he “brutally raped and battered” Ms Hand at a hotel in south Dublin in December 2018. The Irish sports star previously told the court he had consensual sex with Ms Hand in a penthouse at the Beacon Hotel. Ms Hand was taken in an ambulance to the Rotunda Hospital the following day when she was assessed in the sexual assault treatment unit (SATU). A paramedic who examined Ms Hand the day after the assault had told the court she had not seen “someone so bruised” in a long time. Ms Hand broke down several times as she gave evidence for almost three days and sought a number of breaks. The jury had been told Ms Hand had to leave her job as a hairdresser and has not been able to work since, because of her mental health, that her relationship with her partner ended months after the incident, she had to move out of her home in Drimnagh, and her mortgage is now in arrears. After eight days of evidence and three days listening to closing speeches and the judge’s charge, the jury of eight women and four men spent six hours and 10 minutes deliberating before returning their verdict. The total amount of damages awarded to Ms Hand by the jury was €248,603.60. Speaking outside court on Friday, Ms Hand said she hoped her case would remind victims of assault to keep “pushing forward for justice”. She added: “I hope my story is a reminder that no matter how afraid you might be, speak up, you have a voice and keep on fighting for justice.”Anas Sarwar has been named The Herald Scottish Politician of the Year in recognition of his work securing Scottish Labour’s stunning result at the General Election . The party returned 37 MPs, a huge jump on the one won in 2019. It is the second time Mr Sarwar has won the prize, after first taking the gong home in 2022. It was a unanimous choice for the independent judging panel, who praised the MSP for keeping his party disciplined and focused on winning. It is now the third year in a row Labour has won the main prize at the Scottish Politician Of The Year Awards in association with Scottish Power. READ MORE Scottish Politician Of The Year - winners revealed Bernard Ponsonby: The Herald's Politician of the Year is about real people Scottish Politician of the Year: Who has won in previous years? Mr Sarwar - who saw off competition from John Swinney and Kate Forbes - said: “It is truly an honour to have been named the Herald Scottish Politician of the Year for 2024. Whilst I may have received this award, the reality is that it is a team effort and I’m really lucky to have so many talents alongside me. “This year has been one of seismic change in our politics with the election of a UK Labour government, with Scotland at its heart, seeing us also win the election here in Scotland and return 37 Scottish Labour MPs. “Politics is first and foremost about service. “As we look ahead to the election in 2026, I am committed to working tirelessly with all who recognise the need for a new direction to deliver the public services, economy and standard of living Scots deserve.” (Image: Gordon Terris/NQ) Labour’s Ian Murray won in the Best Scot at Westminster category, with judges recognising his role in the party’s election victory and in making sure the party leadership took Scotland seriously. Also short-listed were SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn and Liberal Democrat chief whip Wendy Chamberlain. Both were nominated for the second year in a row. There was much debate on the judging panel over who should win Committee MSP of the Year Award. In the end, it went to Jackson Carlaw and the Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee for their damning inquiry on the A9. They saw off stiff competition from the SNP’s Kenny Gibson, convener of Holyrood’s Finance and Public Administration Committee, and his party colleague Audrey Nicoll, the chair of the Criminal Justice Committee. Former first minister Humza Yousaf picked up the SNP’s first gong of the night, winning the Donald Dewar Debater of the Year Award supported by Aiir Networks. Judges thought his intervention on Gaza at the end of 2023 was one of the standout speeches of the parliamentary year. The Glasgow Pollok MSP could not make the ceremony but took to social media to thank The Herald. Thank you @heraldscotland Sorry I couldn't be there in person to collect it, I have my hands full tonight...! https://t.co/jfsGKiCHIs pic.twitter.com/bIdSsrNtHn — Humza Yousaf (@HumzaYousaf) November 21, 2024 Labour MP Kirsty McNeil won the One-to-Watch award in association with Scottish Power. Judges were impressed at the new Midlothian MP’s rapid ascent. She went from making her maiden speech to speaking from the despatch box for the first time as a Scotland Office minister within a matter of hours. There was little disagreement in the judging panel over who the Community MSP of the Year should be, with the Scottish Greens’ Ross Greer winning for his work opposing the Flamingo Land development on the shores of Loch Lomond. The Politics in Business award - supported by Big Partnership - was won by Kate Forbes. The judges were told that she had completely reset the Scottish Government’s relationship with industry. There was a feeling from businesses that the Deputy First Minister understood their importance in growing the economy. The Scottish Power Green Champion Award went to former Scottish Government minister Lorna Slater, who was praised for sticking to her principles and giving her ex-colleagues in St Andrew’s House a hard time over the environment. The Campaigner of the Year went to Linda, Stuart and Scott Allan for their work on prison reform and their campaign to get all children in Polmont Young Offenders Institute transferred to care. It was a tough choice for the judges. The Fornethy Survivors, a group of women who were victims of physical, mental and sexual abuse while attending Fornethy Residential School in Glasgow, were also on the shortlist. So too were the campaigners who saw Emma Caldwell’s killer brought to justice. Fiona Hennebry won the Local Politician Of The Year award. Judges were impressed by the Labour councillor’s charity work. She runs a community pantry and drop in cafe and group called Bags Full Of Love which provides backpacks for vulnerable young people filled with essential items. The Lifetime Achievement Award went to Baroness Annabel Goldie. The former Scottish Tory leader played a central part in making Holyrood what it is, leaving in 2015 after 16 years, to dedicate herself to the House of Lords, where she has served in the government of four prime ministers. In her speech, she joked that a lifetime achievement award was for people "on their way to the crematorium." Baroness Goldie told the audience: "When I entered the Scottish Parliament in 1999 I had an overwhelming sense of privilege and obligation. The public had put me there, the taxpayer was keeping me there, and the deal was that I had to serve but I think that's something else in politics we always need to remember. "And I have to say that we've seen tonight some marvellous examples of really stellar political service in many of the undoubtedly discerning winners of awards this evening. "And I think I just want to say to to them and to the parties they represent, thank you. Thank you for being the real representation of what the public wants from its politicians. "And a plea, that if there's anyone in politics who's in it for self, to promote themselves in their own advancement, and most distastefully of all to, through some grotesque sense of entitlement, seek to grab every passing trimming and frill going past, then get them out. "Boot them out your party. They're no use to your party. They are are no use to the public, and there's certainly no use to the reputation of what should be an admired and respected vocation, and that is a privilege of political service. " (Image: Gordon Terris/NQ) Keith Anderson, CEO of ScottishPower, said: “Congratulations to all the worthy winners. Every one of them – and their fellow nominees – has shown their commitment to Scotland and its people through their amazing work. "It’s been an honour to be part of this event again and I look forward to seeing and hearing more from them as we work together to deliver Scotland’s green energy transition.” Hamish Fraser, Director, said: "Congratulations to The Herald and the events team for delivering yet another exceptional Scottish Politician of the Year Awards — truly one of the highlights of the Scottish political calendar. "I’d like to extend my warmest congratulations to the winner of the Donald Dewar Debater of the Year category, to the Politician of the Year, and to all the remarkable winners who were recognised last night. Their dedication and contributions to shaping Scotland’s future are truly inspiring."
Britain’s Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary reiterated their unwavering support for Bermuda and the other British Overseas Territories during talks last week, a statement from the Bermuda Government said today. David Burt travelled to London from November 18 to 22 and met Sir Keir Starmer and David Lammy, respectively, along with other British government officials and leaders of the OTs. The Premier attended the Overseas Territories Joint Ministerial Council and took part in engagements focused on financial services and the banking sector. “Last week’s meetings were invaluable opportunities to meet the new Overseas Territories minister, share the Bermuda story with key UK business sectors and collectively reinforce critical matters of importance,” Mr Burt said. The Premier’s trip began at the UK Overseas Territories Association Political Council, which affords OT leaders an opportunity to convene before the JMC. Mr Burt said: “This was a good precursor for OT leaders. We discussed issues of priorities on behalf of each of our countries and, where possible, found areas of agreement to collectively address. “We also acknowledged the 30th anniversary of UKOTA, during which time Bermuda has held the chairmanship on three occasions through our UK representative, Kimberley Durrant.” The Premier also held a bilateral meeting with Stephen Doughty, the Minister for the Overseas Territories. Mr Burt said he talked about "the process for advancing the constitutional changes related to immigration as outlined in the Government’s Throne Speech“. He added: “Minister Doughty and I also discussed the UK’s support for Bermuda’s international financial services industry as a key part of Bermuda’s economy, which now employs a record number of Bermudians.” Rena Lalgie, the Governor, referenced in the Throne Speech a 2016 court ruling that “overturned longstanding practice that the Department of Immigration was involved in the granting of belonger status in Bermuda”. Ms Lalgie said the courts had allowed “non-Bermudian residents to apply directly to the United Kingdom Government to become naturalised” as BOTCs. She said the Bermuda Government believed the decision should be brought back under its purview. The JMC meetings, the first under the new British government, began midweek and focused on “resetting the relationship” between Britain and the OTs. Talks covered security and irregular migration, climate and the environment, economic diversification and resilience, illicit finance and sanctions, and human development. Mr Burt said: “These key discussions enabled me to have direct dialogue with a range of ministers from across Whitehall departments including the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the Home Office, the Treasury, the Ministry of Defence, the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero. “I was very encouraged by the discussions and hopeful that our meetings can foster new opportunities to expand our relationship.” The Premier met Sir Keir and Mr Lammy at the JMC, when the Prime Minister confirmed to the OTs an “ ... ironclad commitment to democratic autonomy and your right to self-determination”. A joint communique from Britain and the Overseas Territories that detailed the outcomes of the 2024 JMC is on the British government website . Mr Burt also met John Neal, the chief executive of Lloyd’s of London. The government statement said that during the engagement, CatX Capital and Cactus, Bermudian-based companies that started in the Lloyds Lab, had the opportunity to “showcase their innovative work to the Premier”. The Premier also met Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the Bank of England, alongside Sir Andrew Large, vice-chairman of the Financial Policy Council, Craig Swan, chief executive of the Bermuda Monetary Authority, and Chidozie Ofoego, the Financial Secretary. Mr Burt took part in a fireside chat at the Bermuda Society’s annual dinner. The Premier returned to the island on Friday. The Bermuda delegation on the trip included Jason Hayward, the Minister of Economy and Labour, Marc Telemaque, the Secretary to the Cabinet, and Aideen Ratteray Pryse, the economy and labour ministry’s Permanent Secretary. Ms Durrant, the UK representative at Bermuda’s London Office, and Brandon Sousa, the deputy UK representative, also accompanied Mr Burt.
