Now the Saints, who’ve remained mathematically alive in the playoff race by winning three of four, might have to play without Carr again — and it didn’t go well the last time. Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi declined on Monday to rule out Carr for any of New Orleans' final four games because of his injured non-throwing hand or his concussion . Both injuries occurred when he tried to leap for a first down and crashed hard to the turf during the fourth quarter of New Orleans' 14-11 victory over the reeling New York Giants on Sunday. “We’re not going to rule him out just yet,” Rizzi said. “We have to see in the next day or two what the healing process is like and see if he can function. “The good news it’s not his throwing hand,” Rizzi said. “The bad news is we’re obviously dealing with an injury here that we have to kind of play it by ear.” Rizzi noted that Carr must clear the concussion protocol first. After that, he said, the Saints can see how well Carr can operate with his hand injury. “It's been done before,” Rizzi said when asked about the prospect of an NFL QB playing with an injured non-throwing hand. “It appears at moment that it's non-surgical, which is a big aspect of it. ... That's why we're going to discuss the options.” Last season, Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert played with a fractured finger on his non-throwing hand . Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen has played part of this season with an injured non-throwing hand . If Carr can't play, his replacement will be either second-year pro Jake Haener or rookie Spencer Rattler. Rattler started three games earlier this season when Carr had an oblique injury — all losses by New Orleans, which was in the midst of a seven-game skid. “We've just got to surround whomever it is and pick him up and get him rolling with the rest of us,” guard Lucas Patrick said. “It's just another step of adversity in this long season that we’ve had.” New Orleans' interior defensive line is coming off one of its better games. Defensive tackles Bryan Bresee and Khalen Saunders accounted for both New Orleans' sacks in New York. The Saints also held the Giants to 112 yards rushing — a lower opponent rushing total than in seven other games this season. The Saints' 92 yards rushing offensively was their fourth-lowest total all season and the lowest in any of their victories. Running back Kendre Miller's future is looking a bit brighter now. He has played in just three games this season because of hamstring injuries and his lack of readiness was criticized by since-fired coach Dennis Allen earlier this season. Miller also has yet to rush for more than 36 yards in a game. But against the Giants, he earned praise for the speed, strength and elusiveness he was able to show on a couple of clutch runs, including an 8-yard run for his first and only touchdown this season. Patrick said Miller deserved credit on his scoring run for staying upright and continuing to push forward — with the help of some teammates — after he was met at the 5-yard line by a Giants defender. Patrick said if Miller didn't give the extra effort and stay on his feet, his teammates would not have had the chance to help push him across the goal line. “Kendre's definitely a bright, young runner and he's exciting to block for,” Patrick said. Blake Grupe was 0 for 2 on field goal attempts, although both were from beyond 50 yards and one was blocked. Those were Grupe's first two failures from beyond 50 yards this season. In addition to Carr, reserve linebacker D’Marco Jackson left Sunday's game with an ankle injury. 0 — The number of games the Saints have won when Carr does not play. They've gone 5-5 in his starts this season. The Saints are back home Sunday against Washington in what could be ex-New Orleans cornerback Marshon Lattimore's first game with the Commanders. The game also marks the return to Louisiana of quarterback Jayden Daniels, who won the Heisman Troply last year at LSU.

By CHRISTINE FERNANDO CHICAGO (AP) — As Donald Trump’s Cabinet begins to take shape, those on both sides of the abortion debate are watching closely for clues about how his picks might affect reproductive rights policy in the president-elect’s second term . Trump’s cabinet picks offer a preview of how his administration could handle abortion after he repeatedly flip-flopped on the issue on the campaign trail. He attempted to distance himself from anti-abortion allies by deferring to states on abortion policy, even while boasting about nominating three Supreme Court justices who helped strike down the constitutional protections for abortion that had stood for half a century. In an NBC News interview that aired Sunday, Trump said he doesn’t plan to restrict medication abortion but also seemed to leave the door open, saying “things change.” “Things do change, but I don’t think it’s going to change at all,” he said. The early lineup of his new administration , including nominations to lead health agencies, the Justice Department and event the Department of Veterans Affairs, has garnered mixed — but generally positive — reactions from anti-abortion groups. Abortion law experts said Trump’s decision to include fewer candidates with deep ties to the anti-abortion movement could indicate that abortion will not be a priority for Trump’s administration. “It almost seems to suggest that President Trump might be focusing his administration in other directions,” said Greer Donley, an associate law professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. Karen Stone, vice president of public policy at Planned Parenthood Action Fund , said while many of the nominees have “extensive records against reproductive health care,” some do not. She cautioned against making assumptions based on Trump’s initial cabinet selections. Still, many abortion rights groups are wary, in part because many of the nominees hold strong anti-abortion views even if they do not have direct ties to anti-abortion activists. They’re concerned that an administration filled with top-level officials who are personally opposed to abortion could take steps to restrict access to the procedure and funding. After Trump’s ambiguity about abortion during his campaign, “there’s still a lot we don’t know about what policy is going to look like,” said Mary Ruth Ziegler, a law professor at the University of California, Davis School of Law. That approach may be revealed as the staffs within key departments are announced. Trump announced he would nominate anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Health and Human Services Department, which anti-abortion forces have long targeted as central to curtailing abortion rights nationwide. Yet Kennedy shifted on the issue during his own presidential campaign. In campaign videos, Kennedy said he supports abortion access until viability , which doctors say is sometime after 21 weeks, although there is no defined timeframe. But he also said “every abortion is a tragedy” and argued for a national ban after 15 weeks of pregnancy, a stance he quickly walked back. The head of Health and Human Services oversees Title X funding for a host of family planning services and has sweeping authority over agencies that directly affect abortion access, including the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The role is especially vital amid legal battles over a federal law known as EMTALA, which President Joe Biden’s administration has argued requires emergency abortion access nationwide, and FDA approval of the abortion pill mifepristone. Mini Timmaraju, president of the national abortion rights organization Reproductive Freedom for All, called Kennedy an “unfit, unqualified extremist who cannot be trusted to protect the health, safety and reproductive freedom of American families.” His potential nomination also has caused waves in the anti-abortion movement. Former Vice President Mike Pence , a staunch abortion opponent, urged the Senate to reject Kennedy’s nomination. Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the national anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, said the group had its own concerns about Kennedy. “There’s no question that we need a pro-life HHS secretary,” she said. Fox News correspondent Marty Makary is Trump’s pick to lead the FDA, which plays a critical role in access to medication abortion and contraception. Abortion rights groups have accused him of sharing misinformation about abortion on air. Russell Vought , a staunch anti-abortion conservative, has been nominated for director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought was a key architect of Project 2025 , a right-wing blueprint for running the federal government. Among other actions to limit reproductive rights, it calls for eliminating access to medication abortion nationwide, cutting Medicaid funding for abortion and restricting access to contraceptive care, especially long-acting reversible contraceptives such as IUD’s. Despite distancing himself from the conservative manifesto on the campaign trail, Trump is stocking his administration with people who played central roles in developing Project 2025. Trump acknowledged that drafters of the report would be part of his incoming administration during the Sunday interview with NBC News, saying “Many of those things I happen to agree with.” “These cabinet appointments all confirm that Project 2025 was in fact the blueprint all along, and the alarm we saw about it was warranted,” said Amy Williams Navarro, director of government relations for Reproductive Freedom for All. Dr. Mehmet Oz , Trump’s choice to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is a former television talk show host who has been accused of hawking dubious medical treatments and products. He voiced contradictory abortion views during his failed Senate run in 2022. Oz has described himself as “strongly pro-life, praised the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade , claimed “life starts at conception” and referred to abortion as “murder.” But he also has echoed Trump’s states-rights approach, arguing the federal government should not be involved in abortion decisions. “I want women, doctors, local political leaders, letting the democracy that’s always allowed our nation to thrive to put the best ideas forward so states can decide for themselves,” he said during a Senate debate two years ago. An array of reproductive rights groups opposed his Senate run. As CMS administrator, Oz would be in a key position to determine Medicaid coverage for family planning services and investigate potential EMTALA violations.

An anti-abortion and anti-vaccine former Florida congressman, David Weldon, has been chosen to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which collects and monitors abortion data across the country.

Collins voted consistently to restrict funding and access to abortion and celebrated the overturning of Roe v.

Rape allegation against Jay-Z won’t impact NFL's relationship with music mogul, Goodell says IRVING, Texas (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says a rape allegation against rapper Jay-Z won’t impact the NFL's relationship with the music mogul. Jay-Z's company Roc Nation has produced some of the NFL’s entertainment presentations including the Super Bowl halftime show. A woman who previously sued Sean “Diddy” Combs alleging she was raped at an awards show after-party in 2000 amended the lawsuit Sunday to include an allegation that Jay-Z was also at the party and participated in the sexual assault. Jay-Z says the rape allegation made against him is part of an extortion attempt. The NFL teamed up with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation in 2019 for events and social activism.

Ohio politician proposes make flag planting a felony after fight in Michigan rivalry game An Ohio politician has seen enough flag planting. Republican state Rep. Josh Williams said Wednesday on social media he's introducing a bill to make flag planting in sports a felony in the state. His proposal comes after the Nov. 30 fight at the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry football game when the Wolverines beat the Buckeyes 13-10 and then attempted to plant their flag at midfield. A fight ensued and police had to use pepper spray to disperse the players. Former Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield famously planted a flag in the middle of the field at Ohio State after the Sooners beat the Buckeyes in 2017. Gastineau confronts Favre in documentary for his 'dive' on Strahan's record-breaking sack Former New York Jets star Mark Gastineau confronted Brett Favre last year at a memorabilia show and angrily accused the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback of deliberately going down on a record-breaking sack. The tense exchange is shown in the new ESPN 30 for 30 documentary “The New York Sack Exchange." It chronicles the Jets’ fearsome foursome defensive line of the 1980s that included Gastineau. Gastineau set an NFL record with 22 sacks in 1984, but Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan broke the mark when he sacked Favre in 2002 in a game between the Giants and Packers. Many have accused Favre of purposely taking the sack so Strahan could set the single-season record with 22 1/2. What happens next with Alex Jones' Infowars?

The Wales midfielder has been out with a hamstring injury, and has not featured since the Bluebirds' 2-0 defeat to Middlesbrough on 31 August. Ramsey, who only managed nine starts for Cardiff during an injury hit 2023-24 season, is out of contract at the end of this season. And Riza would not say if Ramsey will make another appearance for Cardiff this campaign. "It is important we get him to the point where he's training consistently," said Riza. "Then we can look at whether he plays. "There have been a few reoccurrences, so it would be unfair of me to put pressure on him." Cardiff missed the chance to get out of the Championship's relegation zone on Wednesday evening, losing 2-0 at home to Preston North End. It is now six games without a win for Riza's side who find themselves in a relegation battle. In early October, Riza said the Wales star only had "three or four more weeks" of rehab, so this latest news is a huge setback. "It's frustrating for him, frustrating for me, the club and the fans," added Riza. "They are not just players, they are people as well. He will get through it and then we can assess." The Bluebirds are back in Championship action on Saturday as they look to return to winning ways against Stoke City.

Luigi Mangione lived at the Surfbreak co-living community near Ala Moana Park on Oʻahu. He was arrested Monday in Pennsylvania, five days after the shooting of an insurance executive. Hawaii friends of Luigi Mangione, arrested in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, recall him as a natural leader who led a book club where members would share ideas while watching sunsets from a place called Magic Island. “He was just such a thoughtful and deeply compassionate person at everything he did,” said Jackie Wexler, a food technologist in New York. She used to live with Mangione at Surfbreak, a co-living space near Honolulu’s Ala Moana Beach Park. Mangione, 26, suffered chronic back pain from an apparent pinched nerve, said R.J. Martin, Surfbreak’s founder. His friends stopped hearing from him this summer. He said he was stunned by Mangione’s arrest. “I loved this guy,” said Martin. “In some ways I feel like my members are my kids.” Wexler had attended the University of Pennsylvania with Mangione, she says, but didn’t become friends with him until they were both living on Oahu at Surfbreak. Originally envisioned as long-term housing for graduate students, Surfbreak morphed into a sort of adult dorm for, as its website, says , “adventurers, remote workers, and mindful travelers united by shared life in our co-living + coworking spaces.” Mangione was arrested in a Pennsylvania McDonald’s restaurant on Monday and charged with five crimes, including carrying gun without a license, forgery, falsely identifying himself to the authorities and possessing “instruments of crime.” He is suspected of shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week in New York City. Surfbreak residents are expected to contribute to the community, and Mangione played a role by founding the book club with Wexler and Martin. They recall Mangione had recently read Yuval Noah Harari’s “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” and was enthusiastic about sharing ideas with friends. The book club’s reading list included “ What’s Our Problem ,” by Tim Urban, the creator of the blog “Wait But Why,” and “ The Ape that Understood the Universe: How the Mind and Culture Evolve ,” by Steve Stewart Williams, Wexler and Martin said. Wexler recalls Mangione as a thoughtful man who facilitated discussions by deeply listening. Martin, a former college professor who has a doctorate in history, said Mangione had a rare ability to articulate ideas in the books they read. “I feel like he did a better job of parsing through the nuances of things,” Martin said. Wexler and Martin said they had suggested book club read the manifesto of Ted Kaczynski, known as the Unabomber, as “a joke.” Mangione reviewed it on a Goodreads account, which has been widely cited on social media on Monday. The rambling screed proved “painful to read” and so hard to engage with that it led to the demise of the club, Martin said. Mangione was committed to personal development through reading and working out. He got around Oahu by bicycle, and even after he moved out of Surfbreak he would walk with Wexler from Magic Island to Surfbreak, located in the penthouse of a building near the Hawaii Convention Center. But it wasn’t all idyllic. Mangione was often in pain from a back problem, Martin said, although the two would still rock climb together at HiClimb, a gym in Kakaʻako near Surfbreak . Martin recalled the problem, which had lingered for years, was a misaligned vertebrae that would pinch Mangione’s spinal cord. Martin did not recall the exact dates Mangione lived at Surfbreak but says they stayed in regular contact after Manione left. Martin said Mangione later texted him pictures after getting back surgery. “He went radio silent in June or July,” Martin said. Mangione has no significant criminal record in Hawaii. He was criminally cited on Nov. 12 of last year for trespassing in a “closed area” of Nuuanu Pali Lookout, a popular scenic viewpoint frequented by tourists on Oahu. At the time, he told a state parks officer his address was in Towson, Maryland, according to the citation. After pleading no contest to the petty misdemeanor offense, court records show he paid a court-ordered $100 fine. Honolulu police said he had no other run-ins on the island. Mangione had a gun believed to be the one used in last week’s shooting and was taken into custody after police got a tip that he had been spotted at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania . The news has been heartbreaking for his Hawaii friends. “It just makes me sad to think how alone he must feel,” Wexler said.

Israel Striking Bases & Equipment Across Syria, Including Assad’s Chemical Weapons SitesJimmy Carter: Many evolutions for a centenarian ‘citizen of the world’The incoming head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, blasted FBI Director Christopher Wray on Monday for what he called “failed” leadership of the law-enforcement agency and said it was time for Wray to leave. In a letter to Wray that repeated many of President-elect Donald Trump’s complaints about the FBI, Grassley, R-Iowa, criticized the FBI search of Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago , which recovered missing classified documents and led to federal charges against the former president , as “invasive and unwarranted.” Grassley also faulted the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election for targeting Trump after not similarly scrutinizing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and for failing to provide more information about alleged sexual misconduct at the agency. “These failures, are serious enough and their pattern widespread enough to have shattered my confidence in your leadership and the confidence and hope many others in Congress placed in you,” Grassley wrote in the 11-page letter. Trump appointed Wray, who has served seven years of a 10-year term. But Trump has been critical of Wray for years. After being reelected to the White House, Trump named Kash Patel, a former national security official, to succeed Wray as FBI director, implying that he plans to fire Wray. Grassley said Wray and Deputy Director Paul Abbate should each leave. “For the good of the country, it’s time for you and your deputy to move on to the next chapter in your lives,” Grassley wrote. The FBI issued a statement saying the agency has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to responding to congressional oversight. "Director Wray and Deputy Director Abbate have taken strong actions toward achieving accountability in the areas mentioned in the letter and remain committed to sharing information about the continuously evolving threat environment facing our nation and the extraordinary work of the FBI," the statement said. Grassley’s letter comes a month before he reclaims the chairmanship of the committee that oversees the FBI, due to Republicans' flipping control of the Senate in the recent election. Grassley would lead the potential confirmation hearing for Patel. Patel, who advised the director of the national intelligence and the defense secretary during Trump’s first term, is a polarizing choice to lead the FBI. Republican supporters such as House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana said he will bring a needed overhaul to the agency. But Patel has threatened to investigate Trump’s political enemies and shut down FBI’s headquarters in Washington to decentralize workers across the country. Bill Barr, a former attorney general for Trump, wrote in his memoir Patel’s appointment as deputy director of the FBI would happen “over my dead body.” Trump refused to confirm on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that he would fire Wray, whom he appointed seven years ago, but said Patel would take his place. Trump criticized Wray for the 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago, when FBI agents seized thousands of documents including hundreds classified records. Trump was charged with unlawfully retaining national defense records after leaving the White House, but a judge dismissed those charges in July on the grounds that the investigation was run by a special counsel whose appointment was ruled invalid. “I can’t say I’m thrilled with him. He invaded my home. I’m suing the country over it,” Trump said about Wray. “I’m very unhappy with the things he’s done.” Trump also complained that Wray initially testified at a House hearing the former president might have been hit in the ear by shrapnel rather than a bullet during an assassination attempt in July in Butler, Pa. Wray clarified the next day that Trump was struck by a bullet. “Where’s the shrapnel coming from?” Trump asked facetiously. “Is it coming from heaven? I don’t think so.” Grassley echoed several of Trump’s complaints about the FBI. The Mar-a-Lago raid occurred 18 months after Trump left office. Agents found boxes of records stashed around the property in unsecured locations, including a restroom. But Grassley wrote that Trump was cooperating because he had returned 15 boxes of records voluntarily. “This raid occurred despite serious questions about the need for it,” Grassley said. Trump has long complained about the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election before Wray took the agency’s helm. Grassley wrote the FBI failed to vet derogatory information to obtain a search warrant for a Trump campaign aide. Grassley called the lapse “some of the most egregious, Orwellian conduct I’ve witnessed” in nearly 50 years in Congress. An inspector general blasted the wiretapping program . Wray overhauled training and how warrants are obtained from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, but defended the need for the surveillance program . Grassley also slammed the FBI after a Justice Department review found 665 former FBI employees, including 45 members of the senior executive staff, retired or resigned from 2004 to 2020 after allegations of sexual misconduct and before final disciplinary records were issued. Grassley said the FBI failed to provide more information about the allegations despite public pledges to do so. “Contrary to the assurances you made to gain confirmation to your position, the FBI has shown outright disdain for congressional oversight during your tenure,” Grassley wrote. “You didn’t live up to your word.”
