Daniel Jones throws for 321 yards, Giants rally from 21-point deficit to beat Cardinals 31-28

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — On the first play of the second half, New York quarterback Daniel Jones dropped back and heaved a 58-yard completion to rookie Jalin Hyatt over the middle of the field.The Giants had played some historically awful football this season until that moment. Instead of pouting, they started executing.Jones threw for 321 yards and two touchdowns, Graham Gano connected on a 34-yard field goal with 19 seconds remaining, and the Giants rallied from a 21-point third-quarter deficit to stun the Arizona Cardinals 31-28 on Sunday.“It’s about execution,” Jones said. “You can’t really afford to get emotional or think about anything outside of what your job is, and that’s to execute, focus on one play at a time and be in that play.”It was the biggest comeback win for the Giants since a 21-point rally in 1949 — also against the Cardinals. Arizona blew its biggest lead since 2011.The Giants (1-1) lost 40-0 in Week 1 against the Cowboys and didn’t look mu...

Opinion: Competition commissioner’s challenge to Rogers-Shaw merger wasn’t a waste of taxpayer money

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:48:30 GMT

Jennifer Quaid, L’Université d’Ottawa/University of OttawaMonths after rejecting the Commissioner of Competition’s application to challenge the merger between Rogers and Shaw Communications, the Competition Tribunal ordered the commissioner to pay nearly $13 million in costs to Rogers and Shaw.On Aug. 28, the tribunal ruled that the commissioner’s approach to block the merger was “unreasonable,” although the Competition Bureau stands by its decision to challenge it.Since the costs will be covered by the Competition Bureau’s tax-funded budget, some think the commissioner was wrong to challenge the merger. They argue the tribunal’s decision shows that Commissioner Matthew Boswell’s approach is ineffective and should be abandoned.However, this interpretation is incorrect. Awarding costs is not an indictment of the losing party. Typically in cases like this, the winner receives some compensation for the expenses they incurred while presenting their case. The losing party is required to ...

Dwayne Johnson surprises Deion Sanders as Colorado continues winning start to season

(CNN) — Hollywood star Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson reduced University of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders to the brink of tears on Saturday, surprising him on the set of ESPN’s College “GameDay.”“Coach Prime is changing the face of college football and he’s doing it his way but he’s also doing it in a way that is galvanizing not only a town in Boulder, Colorado but also galvanizing an entire country,” the Rock said.“You’re going to make me cry, man,” Sanders replied before joking: “All recruits, did you hear what he said?”Before that, it had been Sanders praising the Rock, getting down onto his knees to welcome the actor onto ESPN’s show.The Colorado Buffaloes narrowly avoided an upset against the Colorado State Rams to take a double-overtime 43-35 win and extend their winning streak to 3-0 this season.Sanders’ son, Shedeur, masterminded a game-tying 98-yard scoring drive from quarterback in the last two minutes of regulation time before throwing two touchdowns in overtime to seal vi...

Poland’s ruling party hopes call for German war reparations can swing election

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:48:30 GMT

CZĘSTOCHOWA, Poland — Agnieszka Majewska, a grandmother and retired shop worker from a village near Lublin in eastern Poland, has no doubt it is high time for Germany to compensate Poles for the murderous devastation it wrought during World War II.We are standing outside the Chapel of Our Lady at the Jasna Góra Monastery in Częstochowa. It is packed with worshippers, as every day of the year. They kneel and pray where the young seminarian Karol Wojtyła — later Pope John Paul II — made a secret visit during World War II, when the occupying Germans banned pilgrimages to Poland’s most important shrine. There was good reason for the Nazis to fear such pilgrimages: The chapel houses the revered Black Madonna of Częstochowa, a four-foot-high icon credited by the Polish faithful with inspiring monks to defy a siege by a previous horde of invaders — the Swedes — in a near-miraculous victory in 1655. No intervention spared Poland from the carnage of the 1939-1945 war. Nearly 6 mill...

This year’s COP could be the most important yet

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:48:30 GMT

Michael Bloomberg is a United Nations Special Envoy and former mayor of New York City.In a year when the climate has roared with unprecedented ferocity — with more and more people confronting a daily reality of debilitating heat, deadly wildfires and flooding, and devastating droughts — the long-term benchmarks that guide global climate talks have never felt so futile.The focus of this year’s U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP28) cannot be 2050 or 2040 or even 2035. It must be on the here and now, and it must produce new action that will dramatically reduce emissions by 2030.I have long warned against decades-long time horizons for climate goals because they serve as excuses for dangerous delay and inaction. By this point, the warning sign should be flashing red.As this year looks to be the hottest in recorded history, we have seen alarming new evidence of two connected shifts that could bring catastrophe: the accelerating melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, which co...

Putin exposes the myth of Austria’s victimhood

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:48:30 GMT

VIENNA — No one does victimhood quite like Austria.Over the past century, the Central European country has presented itself to the outside world as an innocent bystander on an island of gemütlichkeit, doing what it can to get by in a treacherous global environment.“Austria was always apolitical,” insists Herr Karl, the archetypal Austrian opportunist, brought to life in 1961 by Helmut Qualtinger, the country’s greatest satirist. “We were never political people.”Recalling Austria’s collaboration with the Nazis, Herr Karl, a portly stockist who speaks in a working-class Viennese dialect, was full of self pity: “We scraped a bit of cash together — we had to make a living…How we struggled to survive!”Russia’s war on Ukraine offers a bitter reminder that Austria remains a country of Herr Karls, playing all sides, professing devotion to Western ideals, even as they quietly look for ways to continue to profit from the country’s friendly relations with Moscow.The most glaring example of thi...
