gstar28 legit MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tua Tagovailoa's teammates have used words like “commanding” and “lights out” to describe the way he has played recently. The quarterback has had one of the best stretches of his career since he returned from a concussion in Week 8, keeping alive the playoff hopes for the Miami Dolphins. Tagovailoa threw for 331 yards and two touchdowns — including the winning TD in overtime — to lead Miami to the victory against Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets on Sunday. With the win, the Dolphins (6-7) have the same record as Indianapolis, and they two games back of Denver (8-5) for the final AFC wild card. “I don’t think two years ago this game occurs,” coach Mike McDaniel said Sunday of Tagovailoa. “He continues to get better. ... It’s a lot of work, and all of his work is paying off because he’s a naturally gifted quarterback, not only the skill sets but people gravitate towards him. He makes people better. That’s an incredibly important part of that position.” After an up-close look at the way Tagovailoa operates Miami's offense by throwing with anticipation, Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich called him one of the fastest processors in the NFL. Tagovailoa's teammates had just as much praise about his impact. “He’s been playing lights out. He’s been a great leader for this team, not only on offense but also for defense, getting those guys going," wide receiver Tyreek Hill said. "We’ve just got to follow him, man, like follow his standard because the standard is the standard, and he’s been playing at a high level and guys around him just got to match it.” The numbers back up Hill's words: Sunday was Tagovailoa's third straight 300-yard passing performance, joining Dan Marino as the only quarterbacks in Dolphins history to record three consecutive games with that many yards. Tagovailoa entered Sunday's game with a league-best 74.5% completion rate. He recorded his seventh straight game with a completion rate of 70% or better, tying the third-longest streak in NFL history. Going back to Week 10 against the Rams, Tagovailoa has attempted 184 passes without throwing an interception, which is the second-longest streak in his career, and he has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 34 of his last 35 games. He was 6 for 7 for 67 yards on the Dolphins' winning touchdown drive Sunday, which he capped with a 10-yard throw to tight end Jonnu Smith. “He was commanding," receiver Jaylen Waddle said. “He really made sure we didn’t kill ourselves with penalties. He wanted everybody to lock in and just hone in on the details. That’s was big. He came through, made big plays, was calm in the pocket, o-line had great protection, he delivered the ball.” What's working A big part of Tagovailoa's growth has been his ability to not force plays down the field that aren't there. Unlike earlier in his career, he is much more willing to take checkdowns or dump the ball off to running back De'Von Achane or the tight end Smith, who have been excellent this season at gaining yards after the catch. What needs help Third down continues to pose problems for the Dolphins. Miami converted just 1 of 9 third-down attempts and are 9 of 35 on third downs in its last three games. Stock up Receivers Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill. Hill had his first 100-yard receiving game since the opener with 115 yards on 10 catches. With his 4-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, Hill has a TD catch in four of the past five games. Waddle caught nine passes for 99 yards that gave him 4,085 in his career — the most in a player's first four seasons in Dolphins history. Stock down The secondary, which allowed a combined 223 yards by Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams and 339 yards passing from Aaron Rodgers. It was just the second time this season that Miami's defense has allowed more than 300 yards passing. There were also several instances of miscommunication in the secondary. Injuries LT Terron Armstead was limited to just five snaps because of a knee injury that he's been dealing with for weeks. Armstead was visibly frustrated when he came out of the game and was replaced by rookie Patrick Paul. ... LB Anthony Walker Jr. appeared to re-aggravate a hamstring injury that happened last week. Key number 0 — The number of times Tagovailoa was hit Sunday on 47 pass attempts. Next steps Three of Miami's final four games are on the road, starting at Houston on Sunday. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Alanis Thames, The Associated PressGreenville’s 2023-24 season, the last under co-coaches Steve Gipprich and Kevin Smith, saw the Spartans go 19-2 overall and 13-1 in the Patroon Conference to win their first league title in five years. This year’s Spartans will have just three players from that roster. Bryn Fitzmaurice, this season’s lone senior on the team, is confident the team will still have a presence in the Patroon Conference even if it looks different. “I think we're gonna be pretty strong,” she said. “We lost a lot last year, but I still think we're gonna be strong and we'll win a good amount of games.” Greenville will adapt to plenty of change in 2024-25, something well understood by new head coach Bob Shields. Shields, a Bethlehem High School graduate who played basketball there for two years, has coached the sport across the past decade, having been a varsity assistant at Albany Academy for Boys for the last four years after being head coach for Mohonasen’s junior varsity team. He thinks his basketball experience across several places in Section 2 has been an important experience. “You get to experience different things and different players, so I think I'm prepared enough to run my own program now,” he said. He’s going into his tenth year as the president of Cap City Scrappers, a 24-team AAU organization which he founded after attending Hudson Valley Community College for a year. Shields says he’s “always been around basketball,” something which has shaped his philosophy. “I know [about] the politics and everything that goes into it. I never like to favor kids, it's always whoever works for it is going to play over the other kids,” he said. “I've experienced it, so that's part of the reason I started the program [Cap City Scrappers].” Shields is inheriting a varsity roster with only three returning players, including Fitzmaurice as well as sophomore Charlotte Dawson, athletes he expects to carry significant responsibility as team leaders and producers on offense. “I think we all just need to play defense and stick to the script and really execute all of our plays on offense and be together as a team,” Shields said. Fitzmaurice, who is entering her fourth year on varsity, has enjoyed Shields’ leadership style so far. “He sets a good culture,” she said. “He's very motivating, and every day we come in and we work hard.” Dawson, who is heading into her third year on varsity, finds the strongest points of her skillset to be her driving and rebounding, but is excited to take on a possibly different role this season as an athlete experienced at several different positions. “I’m looking forward to working on my shooting and playing more of a guard position this year, and working on ball handling, playing point [guard], [being a] playmaker for my team, and then defensively just working on my position and getting more steals, tips, that kind of thing, to kind of push forward our momentum in the season,” she said. Both players are expected to lead the team’s championship defense through roster turnover against teams like Coxsackie-Athens, who finished right behind the Spartans last year with an 11-2 league record, stakes Dawson is well aware of. “It's definitely a little bit of pressure to keep the reputation of our school and our girls’ team up through my leadership role and Bryn,” she said. “It’s definitely a little bit of pressure to keep it up, but I think we got it.” Shields doesn’t think Greenville will be going away in 2024-25 either. “Be ready for the Greenville Spartans to make some noise,” he said. “[It’s a] rebuild year, we’re a young group, but we're going to play hard.”

While watching the Dallas Cowboys get blown out by the Philadelphia Eagles despite Jalen Hurts not playing, just about every fan and media member wondered why didn't the coaching staff put Trey Lance in for Cooper Rush? Now granted, Lance did little to earn the job over Rush back in the preseason but the latter was struggling on Sunday , particularly in the second half, and with nothing to fight for, why not let the young QB get some playing time with the game so out of reach? Asked if he thought about playing Lance earlier in the game, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy revealed he did. However, not nearly as early as fans did. "I did (think about playing Lance) the series before," McCarthy told reporters postgame . Instead, Lance played the final drive with 2:22 remaining in the fourth quarter and attempted one pass, which went for a one yard gain. The drive resulted in a three-and-out while down 41-7, the final score. The Cowboys didn't go for it on fourth and seven. But even if Lance had gotten in the drive before, it still would've felt like way too late. The Lance saga in Dallas continues to be difficult to figure out. Has he gotten no chances because he's been that bad in practice? Or is the staff simply infatuated with Cooper Rush's career record as a starter? Interestingly enough, ESPN insider Ed Werder tweeted during the game that seeing Lance play would be "Doubtful as he seems to have no support from coaching staff or front office." Doubtful as he seems to have no support from coaching staff or front office. https://t.co/1NKxbUNslV Having finally given Lance a chance, if we can even call it that, the door appears to be open for the youngster to play in Week 18, as McCarthy didn't commit to any quarterback following the loss. "I don't know, I'm not there yet," he said. The Cowboys lost their ninth game of the season on Sunday, making it the second losing season under McCarthy including 2020. The head coach will enter Week 18 with it being the final game left on his deal before diving into what could be a very interesting offseason for him. Over the next few days, expect him to field many more follow-up questions about the starting quarterback for the matchup against the Washington Commanders .

Before the 2023 National Football League season started, it seemed inevitable that Bill Belichick would end his career as the winningest head coach in league history. He had won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and 298 regular-season games, plus 31 playoff games, across his career. Then the 2023 season happened. Belichick's Patriots finished 4-13, the franchise's worst record since 1992. At the end of the year, Belichick and New England owner Robert Kraft agreed to part ways. And now, during the 2024 season, Belichick is on the sideline. He's 26 wins from the #1 spot, a mark he'd reach in little more than two seasons if he maintained his .647 career winning percentage. Will he ascend the summit? It's hard to tell. Belichick would be 73 if he graced the sidelines next season—meaning he'd need to coach until at least 75 to break the all-time mark. Only one other NFL coach has ever helmed a team at age 73: Romeo Crennel in 2020 for the Houston Texans. With Belichick's pursuit of history stalled, it's worth glancing at the legends who have reached the pinnacle of coaching success. Who else stands among the 10 winningest coaches in NFL history? Stacker ranked the coaches with the most all-time regular-season wins using data from Pro Football Reference . These coaches have combined for 36 league championships, which represents 31.6% of all championships won throughout the history of pro football. To learn who made the list, keep reading.

Still, he racked up nearly 200 wins across his 23-year career, including a stint in charge of the New York Giants, with whom he won Coach of the Year in 1993. In all his tenures, he quickly built contenders—the three clubs he coached were a combined 17-31 the year before Reeves joined and 28-20 in his first year. However, his career ended on a sour note as he was fired from a 3-10 Falcons team after Week 14 in 2003. - Seasons coached: 23 - Years active: 1969-91 - Record: 193-148-1 - Winning percentage: .566 - Championships: 4 Chuck Noll's Pittsburgh Steelers were synonymous with success in the 1970s. Behind his defense, known as the Steel Curtain, and offensive stars, including Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, and Lynn Swann, Noll led the squad to four Super Bowl victories from 1974 to 1979. Noll's Steelers remain the lone team to win four Super Bowls in six years, though Andy Reid and Kansas City could equal that mark if they win the Lombardi Trophy this season. Noll was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993, two years after retiring. His legacy of coaching success has carried on in Pittsburgh—the club has had only two coaches (Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin) since Noll retired. - Seasons coached: 21 - Years active: 1984-98, 2001-06 - Record: 200-126-1 - Winning percentage: .613 - Championships: 0 As head coach of Cleveland, Kansas City, Washington, and San Diego, Marty Schottenheimer proved a successful leader during the regular season. Notably, he was named Coach of the Year after turning around his 4-12 Chargers team to a 12-4 record in 2004. His teams, however, struggled during the playoffs. Schottheimer went 5-13 in the postseason, and he never made it past the conference championship round. As such, the Pennsylvania-born skipper is the winningest NFL coach never to win a league championship. - Seasons coached: 25 - Years active: 1946-62, '68-75 - Record: 213-104-9 - Winning percentage: .672 - Championships: 7 The only coach on this list to pilot a college team, Paul Brown, reached the pro ranks after a three-year stint at Ohio State and two years with the Navy during World War II. He guided the Cleveland Browns—named after Brown, their first coach—to four straight titles in the fledgling All-America Football Conference. After the league folded, the ballclub moved to the NFL in 1950, and Cleveland continued its winning ways, with Brown leading the team to championships in '50, '54, and '55. He was fired in 1963 but returned in 1968 as the co-founder and coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. His other notable accomplishments include helping to invent the face mask and breaking pro football's color barrier . - Seasons coached: 33 - Years active: 1921-53 - Record: 226-132-22 - Winning percentage: .631 - Championships: 6 An early stalwart of the NFL, Curly Lambeau spent 29 years helming the Green Bay Packers before wrapping up his coaching career with two-year stints with the Chicago Cardinals and Washington. His Packers won titles across three decades, including the league's first three-peat from 1929-31. Notably, he experienced only one losing season during his first 27 years with Green Bay, cementing his legacy of consistent success. Born in Green Bay, Lambeau co-founded the Packers and played halfback on the team from 1919-29. He was elected to the Hall of Fame as a coach and owner in 1963, two years before his death.

The Cowboys were especially dominant in the 1970s when they made five Super Bowls and won the big game twice. Landry was known for coaching strong all-around squads and a unit that earned the nickname the "Doomsday Defense."

After reaching the Super Bowl once in 14 years with the Eagles, Reid ratcheted things up with K.C., winning three titles since 2019. As back-to-back defending champions, Reid and Co. are looking this season to become the first franchise to three-peat in the Super Bowl era and the third to do so in NFL history after the Packers of 1929-31 and '65-67.

He also coached quarterback great Dan Marino in the 1980s and '90s, but the pair made it to a Super Bowl just once. Shula was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1997. Story editing by Mike Taylor.

Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce calls Black Friday game with Chiefs 'best team in football vs. worst team'Trump’s threat to impose tariffs could raise prices for consumers, colliding with promise for relief

Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) is a large airfield used by the US Air Force (USAF), located in the Florida Panhandle. This long-standing facility has played a pivotal role in the development and testing of aircraft and weapon systems for many years. It is home to the 53rd Wing which fulfills their mission as a testing unit. The base has excellent infrastructure that has been developed over decades that provides unmatched capabilities for Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E). Strategic Role of Eglin AFB in USAF Testing The base complex, airfields, and related facilities at Eglin AFB span over 724 square miles. This expanse of acreage encompasses an airfield, test ranges, and a variety of other structures designed for testing. The 53rd Wing is the major tenant unit on site , and it comprises specialized groups responsible for electronic warfare, weapons testing, and air combat evaluation. Eglin's unique features and large area of safe range space enable concurrent testing of multiple aircraft, systems, and technology in realistic combat scenarios. The 53rd Wing collaborates and operates in joint with many other units to simulate complex operational environments and provide high-quality testing to ensure that frontline units will receive the best performance and safety. According to Col. Matthew B. McGinley, the mission involves delivering "high-confidence data and analysis to the warfighter and acquisition community." The 53rd’s hard work ensures all Air Force platforms will meet mission requirements when the rubber meets the road under any conditions, no matter what kind of operational stresses they are subjected to in the heat of combat. Aircraft and Systems Evaluated at Eglin AFB Eglin AFB has been a testing ground for various aircraft, from bombers and fighters to unmanned platforms. The current roster, as listed on the base's official webpage includes: A-10 Warthog / Thunderbolt II Speed: 450 mph (724 km/h) Range: 800 miles (1,287 km) Armament: 30 mm GAU-8/A Avenger cannon, AGM-65 Maverick missiles F-15 C/E/EX Speed: Mach 2.5 (3,000 km/h) Range: 1,900 miles (3,058 km) Payload: Up to 23,000 lb (10,430 kg) F-16 Fighting Falcon Speed: Mach 2.0 (2,414 km/h) Range: 2,622 miles (4,220 km) Payload: 17,000 lb (7,711 kg) F-22 Raptor Speed: Mach 2.25 (2,410 km/h) Range: 1,839 miles (2,960 km) Payload: 8,200 lb (3,719 kg) F-35 Lightning II Speed: Mach 1.6 (1,930 km/h) Range: 1,380 miles (2,220 km) Payload: 18,000 lb (8,165 kg) MQ-9 Reaper Speed: 300 mph (482 km/h) Range: 1,150 miles (1,851 km) Payload: 3,750 lb (1,701 kg) HH-60G/W Pave Hawk/Jolly Green II Speed: 184 mph (296 km/h) Range: 504 miles (811 km) Payload: 8,000 lb (3,629 kg) H c-130 J Combat King II Speed: 289 mph (465 km/h) Range: 3,478 miles (5,597 km) Payload: 35,000 lb (15,876 kg) Every platform evaluated at Eglin is subject to various conditions and testing metrics such as speed, flight handling, survivability, and payload delivery. Modernization and Integration Eglin plays a fundamental role in integrating emerging technologies as they are brought out of the development stage and into active duty platforms. The F-15EX was tested at Eglin, and only after thoroughly exemplifying its full range of capabilities and safety features was the aircraft approved to join the flight line of combat squadrons. That particular jet featured a modernized digital backbone and optimized open architecture to enable more rapid software upgrades and the integration of new weapons as the future brings more advanced tech to the iconic Eagle. Eglin also made a major contribution to the testing of stealth capabilities and distributed aperture systems on the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. Similarly, testing for the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper is conducted at Eglin. This powerful unmanned platform includes a sensor suite and extended endurance capabilities, giving American military units unparalleled intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. Role in Operational Strategy Eglin AFB is a core location in the USAF base roster that allows new platforms to complete to final steps needed before they are ready for the competition and challenges that lie in our world. The base’s facilities support OT&E of fifth-generation fighters, drones, and long-range strike weapons, along with anything that the Air Force may decide to deploy. The recent integration of hypersonic weapons into the testing pipeline is part of the future fight that the US armed forces are ramping up to counter. Eglin will no doubt play a role in the next race to maintain strategic deterrence and dominance as it always does. Operational test scenarios simulate contested environments and combat conditions at Eglin. The list of simulated threats even includes electronic warfare and cyber attacks. Testing at Eglin directly contributes to readiness, survivability, and lethality of USAF systems performing in joint operations on any battlefield. Contribution to USAF Global Capabilities The F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters, which are both dominant air superiority and precision strike jets, ensure freedom of operation in any airspace for the US and its allies. Eglin's contributions to the testing and development of these ground-breaking aircraft include more recent tests of electronic warfare suites that provide a critical edge in countering advanced threats. Former US pilot, now Hercules civilian pilot, has become the first pilot to surpass 10,000 flight hours in the C-130. The HH-60W and HC-130J are indispensable aircraft that execute, among other missions, Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) in hostile environments. A vital mission set with no room for failure or compromise. To ensure the safe performance of their missions in remote areas under hostile threats, the testing at Eglin is essential to validate their systems abilities. The low-cost XQ-58A Valkyrie took another important step demonstrating the use of Link 16 during a successful test. Eglin Air Force Base is a comprehensive testing and evaluation facility that can perform development on a diverse range of aircraft and weapon systems. Bridging the gap between development and deployment, Eglin solidifies the combat readiness of USAF systems, enabling US aircrews to meet evolving threats and maintain global readiness.Flick praises 'wonderful' Barca after 3-0 win over BrestThe Latest: Suspect in United Healthcare CEO's killing charged with weapons, forgery, other charges

In what appears to be an embarrassing and ironic gaffe, a top Stanford University professor has been accused of spreading AI-generated misinformation while serving as an expert witness in support of a law designed to keep AI-generated misinformation out of elections. Jeff Hancock, the founding director of Stanford’s Social Media Lab, submitted his expert opinion earlier this month in Kohls v. Ellison, a lawsuit filed by a YouTuber and Minnesota state representative who claim the state’s new law criminalizing the use of deepfakes to influence elections violates their First Amendment right to free speech. His opinion included a reference to a study that purportedly found “even when individuals are informed about the existence of deepfakes, they may still struggle to distinguish between real and manipulated content.” But according to the plaintiff’s attorneys, the study Hancock cited — titled “The Influence of Deepfake Videos on Political Attitudes and Behavior” and published in the Journal of Information Technology & Politics —does not actually exist. “The citation bears the hallmarks of being an artificial intelligence (AI) ‘hallucination,’ suggesting that at least the citation was generated by a large language model like ChatGPT,” the plaintiffs wrote in a motion seeking to exclude Hancock’s expert opinion. “Plaintiffs do not know how this hallucination wound up in Hancock’s declaration, but it calls the entire document into question, especially when much of the commentary contains no methodology or analytic logic whatsoever.” The accusations about Hancock’s use of AI were first reported by the Minnesota Reformer . Hancock did not immediately respond to Gizmodo’s request for comment. Minnesota is one of 20 states to have passed laws regulating the use of deepfakes in political campaigns. Its law prohibits knowingly or acting with reckless disregard to disseminate a deepfake up to 90 days before an election if the material is made without the consent of the person depicted and is intended to influence the results of the election. The lawsuit challenging the law was filed by a conservative law firm on behalf of Minnesota state Representative Mary Franson and Christopher Kohls, a YouTuber who goes by the handle Mr Reagan. A lawsuit filed by Kohls challenging California’s election deepfake law led to a federal judge issuing a preliminary injunction last month preventing that law from going into effect.
