Ducks starting to ‘play with an identity’ ahead of hosting Ottawa
The Washington Commanders have parted ways with a former first-round draft pick just over 18 months after making him their top selection in 2023. The Commanders waived cornerback Emmanuel Forbes on Saturday, the team announced. Forbes was selected with the No. 16 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, but did not even make it through two full seasons with the organization. The #Commanders are waiving former first-round CB Emmanuel Forbes, as his time in Washington is done. In addition, RB Austin Ekeler goes to Injured Reserve. pic.twitter.com/d6fefVcZ2B — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 30, 2024 Forbes was a highly-touted prospect coming out of Mississippi State, and he did have one interception in 14 games as a rookie. However, he has only played in six games this season, and had largely lost his role to rookie second-rounder Mike Sainristil , among others. Forbes also went viral before the season when people were shocked by his relatively small stature in a photo that spread online. Forbes’ release means that outside of Jayden Daniels in 2024, one has to go all the way back to 2018 top pick Daron Payne to find a Commanders first-rounder who remains on the roster. The fact that they are 7-5 and firmly in the playoff hunt despite whiffing on so many recent first-round selections is pretty remarkable.

Chip company Broadcom rose 3.2%, while semiconductor giant Nvidia, whose enormous valuation gives it an outsize influence on indexes, rose 0.4%. Super Micro Computer jumped 6%. Tesla climbed 7.4%, one of the biggest gains among S&P 500 stocks. Amazon.com rose 1.8%. US Steel rose 1.9% a day after an influential government panel failed to reach consensus on the possible national security risks of the nearly $15 billion proposed sale to Nippon Steel of Japan. NeueHealth surged 90.9% after the health care company agreed to be taken private in a deal valued at roughly $1.3 billion. Tuesday's rally comes as the stock market enters what's historically been a very cheerful season. The last five trading days of each year, plus the first two in the new year, have brought an average gain of 1.3% since 1950. The so-called "Santa rally" also correlates closely with positive returns in January and the upcoming year. So far this month, the US stock market has lost some of its gains since President-elect Trump's election win, which raised hopes for faster economic growth and more lax regulations that would boost corporate profits. Worries have risen that Trump's preference for tariffs and other policies could lead to higher inflation, a bigger US government debt, and difficulties for global trade, the reports. Even so, the stock market remains on pace to deliver strong returns for 2024. The benchmark S&P 500 is up about 26% so far this year and remains within roughly 1.3% of the all-time high it set earlier this month—its latest of 57 record highs this year.

No. 22 St. John's, Georgia pack busy schedule with game on SundayThe RCMP will create a new aerial intelligence task force to provide round-the-clock surveillance of Canada’s border using helicopters, drones and surveillance towers. The move is part of the federal government’s $1.3-billion upgrade to border security and monitoring to appease concerns of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump about the flow of migrants and illegal drugs. Trump has threatened to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian and Mexican exports to the U.S. as soon as he is inaugurated next month unless both countries move to improve border security. Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc says he has discussed parts of the plan with American officials and that he is optimistic about its reception. Canada will also propose to the United States to create a North American “joint strike force” to target organized crime groups that work across borders. The government also intends to provide new technology, tools and resources to the Canada Border Services Agency to seek out fentanyl using chemical detection, artificial intelligence and canine teams. The union representing rank-and-file Mounties is welcoming the federal plan unveiled in the fall economic update Monday. Money, to be spread over six fiscal years, is earmarked for the RCMP, Public Safety Canada, the Canada Border Services Agency and the cyberspies at the Communications Security Establishment. RCMP members enforce laws between official points of entry and investigate criminal activities related to the border. National Police Federation president Brian Sauvé says members have been protecting the border with limited resources, and the new money will allow them to continue delivering on their mandate. Aaron McCrorie, the border services agency’s vice-president of intelligence and enforcement, said in a recent interview that irregular migration and smuggling of drugs such as fentanyl are common concerns for Canada and the United States. “These aren’t concerns that are unique to the United States. We share those same concerns,” he said. “In that sense, it really speaks to the need for us to work collaboratively.” McCrorie said the Canadian border agency is working closely with U.S. counterparts including Customs and Border Protection, the Drug Enforcement Administration and Homeland Security, as well as with agencies in Britain, Australia and New Zealand. “Criminal enterprises, organized crime, they don’t respect international boundaries. They collaborate, they exploit weaknesses in the system,” McCrorie said. “And so the best way to confront them is to is to collaborate on our side, fill those gaps, support each other’s efforts.” He said Canada’s border agency has two targeting officers embedded with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the American agency plans to soon send a targeting officer to Canada., known for his iconic roles and comedic brilliance, has been reflecting on his career and toying with the idea of retirement.
