When the Giants lose games and when the Giants get blown up like they did in a 28-3 loss to the Eagles on Sunday when the offense managed just 119 total yards, head coach Brian Daboll hopes his players get frustrated.

That appeared to happen after the game when star rookie Malik Nabers told reporters to “look at the tape” because he was “open.”

Nabers, returning to the lineup after a concussion and two-week absence, caught four passes for 41 yards in the first half but managed just two scores in the final 30 minutes – both of which came after Daboll benched quarterback Daniel Jones and had replaced him with Drew Locks.

Asked about Nabers’ comments, perhaps a sign of growing frustration as the Giants’ offense continues to falter, Daboll said he didn’t mean to “hint” at what Nabers meant or didn’t mean, although he acknowledged that the wideout “was open a lot, yeah.”

“I respect Malik,” Daboll said Monday. “I respect all of our guys. Again, I don’t want to suggest what he said or didn’t say. When he said he was open, he was pretty open.”

Jones, who finished 14 of 21 for 99 yards before being benched, threw his first two attempts to Nabers, with one going for 13 yards and another falling incomplete.

The duo added a 14-yard connection in the second quarter — the Giants’ longest play of the day — that helped Big Blue get into field goal range before halftime.

After that, however, Nabers was invisible. He finished the game with eight targets, marking his fewest in a game since Week 1.

He had collected 18, 12 and 15, which helped produce 320 of his receiving yards and all three of his touchdowns over the next three games before leaving late in the loss to the Cowboys on September 26.

He then spent the next two weeks in concussion protocol.

Although Daboll described Nabers as outspoken often during the game and acknowledged that he wanted his players to be frustrated after the fifth loss in seven games, he felt Jones made the right plays with the football for the most part – but conceded that there are always a few cases where the defense obscures the impression and makes it difficult.

“Look, he takes care of the ball,” Daboll said. “He made the right decisions for the most part.”

---

After Daboll didn’t say much on Sunday about Deonte Banks apparently giving up in the fourth quarter against a struggling Jalen Hurts, Daboll said that defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson and Banks talked about it between series – while also reiterating that that the Giants would handle the situation privately.

“Of course we want to give our best in every game, so we looked into it again,” said Daboll when asked about the message a game like this sends to fans. “We will continue to take care of it. And we’re making sure it gets better.”

Dexter Lawrence collected another two sacks on Sunday, setting a new career high with nine sacks. That surpassed the 7.5 in 2022 that preceded a four-year, $90 million extension this offseason. Lawrence leads the NFL in sacks through seven weeks.

British pop star and former One Direction member Liam Payne had a toxic mixture of drugs in his system at the time of his death in Argentina last week. ABC News reported citing a toxicology report. The 31-year-old died on October 16 as a result of a fall from the third-floor balcony of his hotel room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Now a toxicology report has revealed that he had “multiple substances in his system” at the time of his death, including a drug called “pink cocaine.”

In addition to pink cocaine – a recreational drug containing a combination of methamphetamine, ketamine and ecstasy – benzodiazepines, crack cocaine and cocaine, among others, were found in Payne’s bloodstream. The outlet said a makeshift aluminum tube for ingesting the substances was also found nearby.

According to witnesses, Payne acted erratically in the hours before his death. Emergency services were called to the hotel after staff frantically described him as “an aggressive man who was overcome by drugs and alcohol”. When officers entered his hotel room, they found a chaotic scene with broken items and various drugs strewn about.

Forensic teams also recovered a whiskey bottle, a lighter and a mobile phone from the yard where his body was found. Investigators noted that the lack of defensive injuries suggested he may have been in a state of semi-consciousness or total unconsciousness when he fell.

It is noteworthy that Payne had previously gone to rehab several times and had also expressed suicidal thoughts throughout his career. He was also reportedly battling a serious drug addiction leading up to his death. The investigation into the circumstances of his death is ongoing.

Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy had reportedly been with him in Argentina for a couple’s vacation, but returned to Florida two days before his tragic death.

In a joint statement, Payne’s former bandmates expressed their sadness over his death, emphasized their cherished memories of him and requested privacy in their grief. “As time goes on and everyone is able, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved very much,” they said. They also stated that their thoughts are with the English singer’s family, friends and fans.

Montana unveils its grizzly bear management plan

The plan comes at a crucial time for grizzly bear management as the federal government weighs the state’s petition to delist the iconic species.

Monday, October 21, 2024

By Amanda Eggert

Montana Free Press

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has finalized its plan for dealing with grizzly bears, which the agency calls one of Montana’s most “vulnerable” and “conflict-prone” species.

Late last month, FWP Director Dustin Temple formally approved a 326-page blueprint for how the state will address bear-human conflicts, address eventual trophy hunting and respond to the state’s growing – and dispersing – grizzly population.

The statewide Grizzly Bear Management Plan represents the agency’s attempt to pull a thin line. With this plan, FWP wants to reassure state wildlife managers that it will be a responsible steward of a species that was hunted to near extinction in the not-too-distant past, while showing that it is sensitive to the concerns of Montanans who live with grizzly bears , enters into it – some more readily than others.

At stake, as U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Martha Williams has suggested, is something Montana has long sought but not experienced in nearly 50 years: full management authority over the grizzly bears, which was granted in 1975 were placed under federal protection under the Endangered Species Act.

Chris Servheen, a retired wildlife biologist who led the USFWS recovery effort to save the grizzly bear from 1981 to 2016, recently told the Montana Free Press that he does not welcome the state’s management of the iconic species – which would be the case if the USFWS approved Montana’s petition to delete the bear species – because he doesn’t trust FWP to “take the high road”.

Servheen described the state’s grizzly management plan as a missed opportunity to address a variety of concerns that he and other conservationists highlighted in an earlier draft of the plan.

More specifically, Servheen pointed to components of the plan that he said would increase “voluntary mortality” and thwart a longstanding recovery goal: connectivity between the Northern Continental Divide ecosystem and the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, which contains the two largest grizzlies -Subpopulations supported in the Lower 48 region.

Servheen said he is particularly concerned about the intentional and unintentional killing of grizzly bears associated with hunting and trapping. Trophy hunting of grizzly bears is unjustified and will only exacerbate human-bear conflict, Servheen said, adding that recently passed state laws will cause grizzly bears to die unnecessarily because of their exposure to wolf traps and snares, as well as hunting dogs Black bears.

“This is a clear issue where they could use the high ground and move these things away from places where there are grizzly bears. Instead, they ignore the problem and insist on locating these sources of mortality in areas where there are grizzly bears and areas of connectivity,” he said. “These things will result in dead bears, and there will be very few reports of those dead bears.”

Servheen and other grizzly advocates focus on connectivity because larger, more geographically dispersed populations of interbreeding bears protect against inbreeding and make the animals more resilient to natural disasters and habitat loss.

Trophy hunting is one of the areas surrounding grizzly bear management where Montanans are most divided. A 2020 poll found that 49% of Montanans support sufficient hunting to meet a population goal, while 17% said grizzlies should never be hunted. Tribes across Montana, including the Crow, Blackfeet, Northern Cheyenne and Confederated Salish and Kootenai tribes, signed a letter in 2018 opposing Wyoming’s proposal to establish a grizzly hunting season when the U.S. government most recently attempted to delist Yellowstone grizzlies. (That effort was ultimately blocked in federal court.)

FWP does not require trophy hunting immediately after delisting. Instead, the department said it would hold off on forwarding a proposal for a grizzly hunting season to the Fish and Wildlife Commission, the governor-appointed body that sets seasons and assigns tags to game species, for at least five years after delisting .

Although he generally opposes grizzly bear hunting, Servheen praised the agency’s change to two points he raised in his extensive comments on the draft plan. He told MTFP he was pleased that hunting of bears in dens and bears in groups – e.g. B. mothers with their young – is expressly prohibited in the new plan. He was also encouraged to see that there is greater tolerance for grizzly bears staying out of trouble when they venture outside existing recovery zones, he said.

Connectivity played a major role in comments made by Hilary Cooley, a USFWS grizzly bear recovery coordinator, in her comments on the draft plan. More specifically, she called on the agency to focus on “demographic connectivity,” that is, helping female bears move from one subpopulation to another and stay there.

Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte and Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon are also keeping an eye on connectivity. In 2021, they submitted separate and pending petitions to the USFWS to delist grizzly bears living in northwest Montana, as well as a resident population in Yellowstone National Park.

In August, Gordon highlighted the governors’ “active management” approach to achieving genetic connectivity, noting that by transporting two grizzly sows from the NCDE to the GYE, they had met the recovery goals mandated by the ESA and the court.

Lisa Upson of People and Carnivores, a nonprofit that promotes the coexistence of predators and humans, criticized this approach, calling it “inadequate.”

“Conflict resolution is the answer to connectivity,” Upson said. “You have to keep bears moving through the landscape, and you do that by keeping them alive by either removing or protecting attractants so the bears can move on.”

However, for other key stakeholders, connectivity should not be a goal. Trina Jo Bradley, chair of the Endangered Species Act subcommittee of the Montana Stockgrowers Association, said there were already too many bears living in established recovery areas and she would prefer not to see increased movement among them.

Bradley told MTFP she is dismayed that the final plan includes greater tolerance for prairie bears, or grizzly bears, migrating from mountainous public lands to flatter areas dominated by private lands.

“I don’t think grizzly bears belong anywhere, but I suspect they probably had to change that to avoid lawsuits and other problems,” Bradley said. “I think they will manage these bears very closely, and if they even think about getting into a conflict, they will be relocated or killed.”

Aside from that and the lack of a maximum population target in the plan — which the FWP said “wouldn’t make sense” — Bradley said she was happy with the final plan.

Bradley said she appreciates that it recognizes the role that managed ranchlands play in supporting habitat and connectivity goals for grizzlies, particularly because they bear some of the greatest burdens associated with grizzly presence. Wildlife managers estimate that grizzly bears were responsible for 82 livestock deaths last year.

Bradley, a rancher in the rural Rocky Mountain Front community of Valier, said she was also pleased that the plan incorporated many of the recommendations she and her colleagues on the Grizzly Bear Advisory Committee made to then-Gov. Steve Bullock 2020.

For his part, FWP Director Temple describes Montana’s role in grizzly bear recovery as part of an “amazing conservation success story” that deserves recognition.

“This success story also demonstrates once again that FWP is committed to maintaining healthy wildlife populations across our diverse landscape,” he said in a news release announcing the plan’s adoption.

It’s an opinion Williams, whose background is in natural resources law, would probably be happy to share. Before taking the helm of USFWS, Williams held Temple’s position at FWP, where in 2017 she called the grizzly bear recovery a “success story.”

Whether she and her colleagues at the USFWS find that Montana has created a framework to sustain this performance remains to be seen. In any case, those involved shouldn’t have to wait long to find out: the USFWS is widely expected to make a decision on the delisting applications from Wyoming and Montana in January.

A pair of 4-2 teams, and potential Super Bowl contenders, are set to meet on “Monday Night Football” in Week 7.

The Ravens and Buccaneers will match up in southern Florida, both with momentum on their side. For Tampa Bay, that momentum comes from its offensive explosion in a 51-27 win over the Saints in Week 6. Behind a revitalized Baker Mayfield and a deep run game, the Buccaneers rank second in the league in points per game (29.7) entering Sunday of Week 7.

Mayfield has been building a first-half MVP case as he continues to sling the ball around in Tampa Bay’s high-powered offense. Through six games, the former Heisman Trophy winner has 1,489 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions on 70.9% completion, while also rushing for 136 yards and two scores. The 29-year-old has continued to excel with the Buccaneers after leading the team to a playoff win in 2023 and earning a contract extension in the offseason.

One of the few players ahead of Mayfield in the early MVP race, though, is Lamar Jackson. After taking home the award in 2023, Jackson has been just as dominant so far this season; he has 1,529 passing yards, 10 passing touchdowns and two interceptions with 403 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

The pairing between Jackson and RB Derrick Henry has also been just as dominant as many expected. The former Titans running back leads the NFL with his 704 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns, looking just as explosive in purple and black as he did in Tennessee. Baltimore also currently finds itself on a four-game win streak, emerging as a top threat to win the AFC North.

Both teams in this Monday night matchup boast talented offenses led by their star quarterbacks. Between Tampa Bay’s air attack and Baltimore’s ground attack, “Monday Night Football” could wind up being a high-scoring affair in Week 7.

8:39 p.m. — Last week’s star, Sean Tucker, hasn’t seen the ball yet, but Tampa Bay’s backfield has impressed so far. Irving picks up another 14 yards through the air, setting up 1st & Goal for the Buccaneers.

8:36 p.m. — Mayfield has the Buccaneers driving once again. He started with a tough 15-yard completion to Bucky Irving, then a roughing the passer call gives Tampa Bay another 15 yards.

8:30 p.m. — A huge sequence for the Buccaneers defense ends Baltimore’s drive. Jackson is sacked on back-to-back plays, pushing the Ravens back a total of 17 yards. They’ll punt.

The Detroit Lions got off to a very slow start on both ends in their Week 7 game against the Minnesota Vikings, and wide receiver Jameson Williams struggled to get going as a result.

Williams has been a revelation for the Lions this season, seamlessly taking on the role of No. 2 wide receiver, which is exactly what Detroit needed from him early in the season.

While Williams has consistently had big touchdown catches in the first five games of this season, things aren’t going well for him in Week 7.

Is Jameson Williams playing today?

UPDATE: Midway through the third quarter, Jameson Williams had first down… but it was -4 yards. At least there is a sign of life. Baby steps, I guess.

End of update

UPDATE: We’re more than two quarters behind us and Williams remains goalless in the game. Things aren’t looking good for fantasy football managers right now, but again, all it takes is one big hit for Williams to put in a good fantasy performance. Fingers crossed.

End of update

The Lions scored two touchdowns through one quarter after a slow start Sunday against the Vikings, but Williams wasn’t responsible for either. Furthermore, Williams doesn’t even have a goal or a catch.

As of this writing, Amon-Ra St. Brown, David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs and Tim Patrick all have at least one target and one catch, with St. Brown responsible for a receiving touchdown. Gibbs has a score on the floor.

Williams isn’t the only talented pass catcher off to a quiet start, as tight end Sam LaPorta was also blanked by a quarter-plus. The good news for Williams is that he is a great player just waiting to be realized. So all it takes is one big pass to deliver a strong fantasy football performance.

We’ll see if Williams or LaPorta can make it the rest of the way.

AUSTIN, Texas – Leander ISD will reopen schools on Tuesday, Oct. 22, after closing them on Monday due to a gas leak. FM 620 was also closed over the weekend due to construction in that area.

A local business in the area said he has felt the financial impact.

“We were very impressed. We haven’t been able to make a sale or talk to customers for the last three days,” said Derek Ayers, a salesperson at BBQ Outfitters in Austin.

The Steiner Ranch community felt the impact after a construction crew encountered an 8-inch gas line at 620 and 2222 on Friday. Crews from Lake Travis Fire and Texas Gas Service responded.

They had to shut down 620 in that area while crews worked to stop the leak and install a bypass line.

“You could hear it from here. And we’re a good 200 meters away from where it actually exploded. But you could hear it from here. It almost sounded like a jet engine. It was very, very loud. But it also showed that there was a large cloud of gas flowing through the air,” Ayers said.

On Sunday around 7 p.m., the southbound lanes of 620 reopened, and on Monday the northbound lanes reopened.

The grill supplier is located near the gas leak.

Salesman Derek Ayers says the business has seen little traffic due to the road closure.

“The road was completely closed from one traffic light to the other, so we had no traffic at all. Not here on Friday, not here on Saturday. They opened a lane for us on Sunday, but it was mostly closed so we could do it.” “I’m really not bringing anyone in here,” Ayers said.

Ayers said he is optimistic for business since both the northbound and southbound lanes are open.

The closure also impacted Leander ISD. The district closed eight of its schools in the Vandegrift High School feeder pattern Monday as crews worked to repair the line.

One parent said the children were stuck on the bus for hours when they got home on Friday as the journey normally took 20 minutes due to the road closure.

The district released a statement Monday:

“After careful consideration, we have concluded that school operations contribute significantly to traffic due to car and bus transportation. The logistical challenges for buses, drop-offs and pick-ups that we experienced on Friday seem inevitable on Monday. “The time staff would spend in traffic will disrupt the school day and reduce valuable teaching time.”

TxDOT says Texas Gas is responsible for all repairs. FOX 7 reached out to Texas Gas for an update on the repairs but has not received a response.

All lanes were reopened by 6 p.m. Monday.

As we move forward, there is some segregation across the South Florida soccer landscape.

Miami Central and Chaminade-Madonna continue to roll toward the playoffs, while St. Thomas Aquinas had a strong performance with an impressive 44-6 win over Monarch.

Then there’s Miami Northwestern, which coach Teddy Bridgewater is handing to a 23-18 win over two-time defending champion Columbus.

All in all, it was another exciting week of football in South Florida.

Now that the games are over, it’s time to pick the region’s best player in our SBLive South Florida football Player of the Week poll.

Fans are encouraged to vote as many times as they like. Additionally, schools, players and coaches are encouraged to update their stats after games and submit names to @JoeFrisaro on X.

The Texas recruit threw for 251 yards and four touchdowns in a 35-0 win over Archbishop McCarthy.

Indorf bounced back from a loss to Chaminade-Madonna to lead the Raiders to a lopsided win against Monarch. The senior rushed for two touchdowns and threw two TD passes.

The Knights didn’t have much to cheer about at St. Thomas Aquinas. Still, the standout receiver made an impact with some great plays, including a 15-yard touchdown catch in the final two minutes. Brady also played defensive back and handled the punting duties.

Against Gulf Coast, Bradford gained 158 yards on 12 carries.

Due to the storms that hit South Florida, the Wildcats played two games last week. On Monday they defeated Goleman 31-6 and on Friday they defeated Cypress Bay 46-0. Circo came up big against Goleman with 268 passing yards and two touchdowns.

Playing in rainy conditions, Maine scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 10-yard run in the win over Southridge. Maine also threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Dontavious Kinchens in the 27-14 win.

Louis, a recent commit to Florida State, had another big game, rushing for 120 yards and a touchdown on just six carries against Archbishop McCarthy. And in a loss last Monday to Miami Norland, Louis gained 218 yards and scored two touchdowns.

Marcelin is committed to Miami and is coming off a dominant season for the Rockets. In a 22-14 win over Norland, Marcelin had four sacks and two additional tackles for loss.

Along the way, the Paladins spoiled the homecoming in Cooper City. Muhammad ran for 108 yards on 11 carries.

The Bulls distributed the wealth by defeating Columbus. Seven different players were credited with rushing attempts, but it was Davis who did the most damage with 82 yards on 11 carries.

The senior threw four touchdown passes in a 56-0 win over Avant Garde Academy.

The sophomore had two touchdown receptions in the win against Columbus.

Moore committed to Miami and rushed for 181 yards on six receptions and three touchdowns in a 63-19 win over Gulf Coast.

A brushing-style runner, Bueno gained 86 yards on 11 carries and a touchdown against Goleman.

The Bengals’ defense limited Plantation to seven points, with Saintcius credited with five tackles for loss.

All Mata seems to do is win. The Bengals quarterback made enough big plays in a 14-7 defensive duel with Plantation. Mata converted a 28-yard pass on fourth-and-7 to set up a touchdown.

Jackson rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown on four carries, securing another impressive win for the Lions.

Not only has McQueen stabilized the Rockets’ quarterback position, he’s also a big reason Central is storming into the postseason as the state championship favorite. In the win over Norland, McQueen threw for 132 yards and two touchdowns.

Shattuck completed 10 of 14 passes for 261 yards and four touchdowns.

The Panthers defeated Miami Edison, 41-24, in a high-scoring contest in which Terry scored three touchdowns, including an 86-yard kickoff return for a score.

When Chance Washington suffered an arm injury in the first half, Wyche had to pick up the slack, rushing for 93 yards on 10 carries in the first two quarters. Wyche’s touchdown run in the second quarter gave the Raiders a three-point lead.

SANTIAGO 2023: ANNIVERSARY OF AN UNFORGETTABLE SPORTS CELEBRATION

Exactly a year ago, the capital of Chile was in a festive mood, welcoming more than 6,900 athletes from 41 countries and hosting the Pan American Games for the first time in its history.

A sporting event that marked a before and after in Chilean sport and represented a real springboard for great stars of our continent who later shone at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Stadiums and gymnasiums full of people supporting all the athletes, a historic Panam Sports Channel broadcast with more than 25 million views and an entire country vibrating with this celebration of continental sport were just some of the great memories that come to mind came when we talk about Santiago 2023.

Not even the most optimistic experts could have imagined how successful such an event would be and how deeply it would permeate Chilean society.

For 17 days, Santiago and all of Chile were paralyzed to welcome the continent’s best athletes in an unprecedented event in the history of that country.

Proof of this were the more than 1,400,000 people who bought tickets and filled all the competition venues, or the historic broadcasts of the local television stations, which had a spectacular audience rating with a total of 2,875 total broadcast hours.

The press accredited to cover the Games included 1,273 professionals, 63% of whom were foreign media. And the volunteers, the heart of the Games, registered more than 34,000 people, of whom 17,000 were ultimately selected.

In total, there were 39 sports, 60 disciplines, 4 regions, 21 municipalities, 43 venues, 6,909 athletes and 33 qualifying disciplines for Paris 2024.

“Chile experienced a sports festival never before seen in its history. For 17 days, Chileans enjoyed the Pan American Games, filling every venue and supporting every athlete without distinction. An event that marked a before and after in the history of this country and left all Chileans with a legacy not only material but also spiritual,” said Neven Ilic, President of Panam Sports.

“The Santiago 2023 Pan American and Parapan American Games will remain in the memories and hearts of all Chilean men and women. We have shown that we are prepared for great challenges and that if we act together we can dream big,” said the President of the Republic of Chile, Gabriel Boric.

Today, one year after Santiago 2023, we look back with pride and joy. Chile and Santiago have fulfilled their mission to host this sports festival with professionalism and passion.

Panam Sports, athletes, coaches, technicians, judges and the general public will never forget this great sporting event. It was undoubtedly our turning point for Chileans and the entire continent.
