CNN —Former New York Jets pass rusher Mark Gastineau says Brett Favre “hurt” him after he confronted the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback about the controversial NFL sack record grudge involving the two of them. Al Bello/Getty Images“When you fell down for (Strahan),” Gastineau said to Favre after the Green Bay legend tries to shake his hand and says he recognizes Gastineau. I realize now the potential financial implications because football is far more business-oriented than when me or Mark played. I hope this controversy brings attention to just how great Mark Gastineau was. Gastineau played his entire 10-year NFL career with the Jets before playing a season with the BC Lions in Canada.

In 10 years — give or take six months — the 2034 men’s World Cup will be played in Saudi Arabia. “Fundamental human-rights reforms are urgently required in Saudi Arabia, or the 2034 World Cup will be inevitably tarnished by exploitation, discrimination and repression.”Why will the Saudi bid stand unopposed? Instead, they will target the 2026 Women’s Asian Cup and the Club World Cup three years later. Sport has become one of Vision 2030’s pillars — and the 2034 World Cup will be its crowning glory. “We cannot say that Saudi Arabia is a ‘medium risk’ country, given that it has become a pure police state,” said Lina, ahead of Saudi Arabia being confirmed as host.

A federal judge in North Dakota blocked a Biden administration rule that allowed DACA recipients to sign up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. People who received benefits from DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, began signing up for coverage under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, at the start of open enrollment on Nov. 1. Coverage for those who signed up was expected to start as early as Jan. 1. Still, the elimination of expanded coverage, Pillai said, could leave thousands of uninsured DACA recipients in those states without an affordable option. “Given that President-elect Trump tried to end DACA during his first term and his views on immigration more broadly, the Trump administration seems unlikely to appeal any ruling against DACA or the coverage expansion,” Pillai said.
