New York is 7-7, tied with division rival New England and a full game out of the final AFC wild-card spot. Jacksonville is 6-8, only one game behind Tennessee in the AFC South. The matchup will feature Jaguars second-year No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence starting at quarterback vs. Jets second-year No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson. While Lawrence has turned the corner to prove he has the talent of a franchise QB, Wilson has struggled and is only playing again with Mike White (ribs) needing to miss a second consecutive game....

The House voted 230-199 to remove Greene from the committees, with 11 GOP House members siding with Democrats. Speaking in the chamber before the vote, Greene said the remarks had been made before she ran for office last year. “These were words of the past. These things do not represent me,” she said. Among her incendiary comments were suggestions that a plane did not hit the Pentagon on 9/11; that the Sandy Hook and Parkland school shootings were staged; that prominent Democrats should be executed; and that forest fires were caused by a space laser operated by the prominent Jewish Rothschild family....

In an op-ed published last week, the former English lecturer Joseph Epstein referred to Biden as “kiddo” and argued that her title sounded “fraudulent” and a “touch comic” as he took aim at the first lady-elect’s doctorate in education. “Your degree is, I believe, an Ed.D., a doctor of education, earned at the University of Delaware through a dissertation with the unpromising title ‘Student Retention at the Community College Level: Meeting Students’ Needs,’” Epstein wrote....

Job 1 is complete: Teryl Austin was named to run Caldwell's defense, the team announced Friday. Focus now turns to the offense, with three reported candidates under consideration. Austin spend the past three seasons coaching the Baltimore Ravens secondary. He is a former assistant at the University of Michigan. Austin, 48, replaces Gunther Cunningham. Offensive coordinator Scott Linehan was sacked the same day coach Jim Schwartz was fired. Austin's missing is to improve a sluggish secondary that was 23rd in pass defense last season....

Cooper announced his retirement on Twitter. He was first elected to the House in 2003. Throughout his tenure, he governed as a centrist Democrat, often facing criticism from some members of his own party. He easily won re-election for years, running unopposed in 2020. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden won the district by nearly 24 points. But under the new district lines in the congressional map approved by the General Assembly Monday, Davidson County, home to Democratic-leaning Nashville, would be split into three different districts, diluting Democratic votes....

The University of Michigan and Harbaugh agreed Wednesday to a contract extension to keep the coach in Ann Arbor for the next five seasons. “I love Michigan Football, the University of Michigan and the Ann Arbor community,” Harbaugh said in a statement. “My family and I are excited to continue leading this football program, and we are thankful for the support that our athletic department and university administration have demonstrated toward the team....

Ryan Day and Jim Harbaugh meet for the first time as head coaches when No. 10 Michigan hosts No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday. It’s the 10th different coaching matchup since the Wolverines’ 24-12 upset launched the Ten Year War between Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechler. This is the latest chance for the Wolverines to break a seven-game losing streak to the Buckeyes and close the distance Urban Meyer created between the two schools....

After learning that his oral cancer was spreading, he was set to undergo surgery last Thursday. But after the surgery was canceled, the four-time AFC champion with the Buffalo Bills was set to begin an aggressive chemotherapy treatment this week. But complications cause the treatment to become postponed, and now it appears that he will begin chemotherapy next week. But before he begins the serious medical procedure, Kelly decided that he would not let his illness keep him from doing the things he loves to do On Friday, he was spotted taking in the New York Knicks' game against the Washington Wizards at Madison Square Garden....

Johnson now has 76 wins in 509 races, compared to Senior’s 76 victories in 676 races. While Johnson, 40, tied Earnhardt in wins on Sunday, he has a long way to go to match Earnhardt’s overall statistics.

So what if the canines chose Oregon to win the College Football Playoff? No one said they had to be right, they just have to be cute and we’ll believe whatever they predict. When the puppies made a mad dash to the food bowls, it seemed like it was going to be a draw, but the Spartans pulled through and reigned supreme. It should be pointed out that no puppies wanted anything to do with Duke’s food dish....

After an early touchdown drive in which they went 75 yards on six plays, Jimmy Garoppolo and co sputtered for just three points the rest of the game, not to mention three turnovers, including an interception that all but clinched it for the Broncos. After the play, Garoppolo’s frustration seemingly bubbled over. The quarterback, who went 18 of 29 for 211 yards, a touchdown, and an interception, appeared to say “all of your plays … suck, man....

Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers are heading for a split this offseason, ending a five-year run that resulted in two NFC championship game berths, a Super Bowl appearance and generally helping reinvigorate the 49ers offense. Garoppolo and general manager John Lynch are working side-by-side to find a place where the quarterback can try and win next year, and the market may be wider than people think. While the 30-year-old isn’t going to shift the landscape of a division or Super Bowl odds like an Aaron Rodgers might, his winning history could offer an instant spark for a playoff-ready team....

In fact, the real question is whether American Express can ever again be a dominant force. Many of the company’s businesses are troubled, but the news is worst for the company’s lifeline, the card business. The company lost $205 million in the third quarter of this year; the card division accounted for $187 million. And for the first time, the number of Americans holding an AmEx card has dropped, by more than a million in the past year....

It was going to be a longer walk for him than the others regardless of where he was positioned.

The former Sporting CP midfielder was brought down just inside SPAL’s area 22 minutes in, and though the referee initially awarded a free-kick, the official overturned that decision with the use of the VAR system to give a penalty. Mauro Icardi stepped up to convert, and although SPAL pressed hard for an equaliser, Ivan Perisic’s late volley wrapped up a third win from as many games for Luciano Spalletti’s side, and Joao Mario is hoping to build on the positive start....
