When he spoke to the media (for the last time as Jets GM) on Nov. 6, Douglas looked defeated. It included Johnson, Douglas, vice chairman Christopher Johnson, team president Hymie Elhai, and Ira Akselrad, an adviser to Johnson. From then on, many in the Jets organization described Douglas as a shell of himself. Multiple team sources believe this was a matter of Johnson’s preoccupation with social media factoring into the Jets’ decision-making. Ultimately, it’s difficult for any general manager to survive six years without sniffing the postseason.

There are currently 13 wildfires across the state encompassing more than 5,000 acres, according to Governor Kathy Hochul’s office.

Mahomes vs. Allen, Round 8The NFL schedulers probably should have made this the Sunday night contest. The Bears rank seventh against the pass, have allowed only 18.6 points per game (seventh-best) and have 16 takeaways (also seventh). Foes do find it hard to run on Baltimore, which gives up an NFL-low 73.0 rushing yards per game. They are holding opponents to a league-best 13.1 points per game, and haven’t allowed more than 20 points in any game this season. So this matchup will be a good measuring stick for the Chargers’ defense, while proving whether Herbert and company can win in a shootout if necessary.

Since 2000, the Eagles have seven NFC championship game appearances, as well as three Super Bowl appearances. In fact, of the Commanders’ seven victories, only one has come against a team that’s currently over .500.

☆ Judge explains why he handed Elon Musk his $1 million-a-day sweepstakes win

AdvertisementA Philadelphia judge has explained why he didn't shut down Musk's $1 million-a-day sweepstakes. The decision would help Musk and his America PAC move for outright dismissal of the lawsuit. Elon Musk's controversial $1 million-a-day swing state sweepstakes was never a lottery, a Philadelphia judge said in a written decision explaining why he declined to shut the program down after a hearing last Monday. Lotteries require a prize, a payment for a chance to win that prize, and for winners to be chosen at random, the judge said. Representatives for Krasner, Musk, and the PAC did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the judge's decision and next steps in the case.

— Revered abolitionist Harriet Tubman, who was the first woman to oversee an American military action during a time of war, was posthumously awarded the rank of general on Monday. Dozens gathered on Veterans Day at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park in Maryland’s Dorchester County for a formal ceremony making Tubman a one-star brigadier general in the state’s National Guard. Harriet Tubman circa 1870. Wyatt hailed her aunt’s legacy of tenacity, generosity and faith and agreed Veterans Day applied to her as much as any other service member. In 2022, a Chicago elementary school was renamed for Tubman, replacing the previous namesake, who had racist views.
