– stood behind the lectern in the bowels of MetLife Stadium and addressed the media seated in front of him. His message wasn’t one for them, though. These words seemed postmarked for co-owners and . Get a quarterback. Get that quarterback to play well. “You’ll have an opportunity every game,” Daboll said. That was certainly the case in the . Their offense, abysmal so much of this season, erupted for their most points since they dropped 49 in a loss to the Saints in 2015. Quarterback was the biggest reason why. He scored five touchdowns (four passing) and threw for 309 yards. It might be too little, too late for Daboll, who’s trying to save his job. His words ring true, though: New York needs to find their quarterback. Only now, things are a bit more challenging. Things seemed so clear for the Giants on Sunday morning. This season, which was supposed to be spent celebrating the franchise’s 100th, had been a big blue embarrassment. The Giants were losers in 10 straight, couldn’t score on offense and were somehow worse on defense. They were shellacked by the Falcons – an uncompetitive disaster. They reached rock bottom. It was all worth it, though – the pain, misery. The reward for such futility was the No. 1 pick in the draft. After the Raiders beat the Jaguars last week, the Giants took control of it. Lose to the Colts. Lose to the Eagles. General manager , or a GM-to-be-hired-later, would have his choice of passers (Miami) or (Colorado). Then the Giants beat the Colts. They now hold the third or fourth pick in the draft, depending on the outcome of the Browns - Dolphins game. What tank? “That’s not talked about with us,” said receiver , who finished with five catches for 71 yards and a touchdown. “Guys are out here playing for their livelihoods. This is their job.” There is still a path to the Giants reclaiming the No. 1 selection. They need to lose to the Eagles in Week 18 – no small feat, considering the Eagles, with the No. 2 seed locked up, expect to rest starters. They then need the Browns to beat the Dolphins this week, followed by the Patriots beating the Bills and the Titans beating the Texans. That would give the Giants the No. 1 selection once more. If that doesn’t happen: They just must hope the Patriots finish with either the No. 1 or 2 pick. Unlike Tennessee and Cleveland, the Patriots have their quarterback of the future ( ). They’d be much more likely to trade down with the Giants so Schoen could go up and get his. It will be costly. It will almost certainly cost Schoen a future first-round pick (and then some). It’s a price he will have no choice but to pay. There’s a reason they say teams don’t tank in the NFL. There are far too many variables. You’re bound to have the ball bounce your way a time or two throughout the course of a 17-game season. Players, all of whom are physically gifted, will make plays. Unless you field incompetence – which the Giants flirted with at times this year – you’ll catch a break. That’s what happened to the Giants on Sunday. ( ) went off. returned a kick for a touchdown. threw a pair of interceptions. The Colts, despite 25 first downs and 446 yards of offense, with the ball in scoring position. Indianapolis had nine possessions reach the Giants' 35-yard line (or better). Three times they came away with zero points: Interception, missed field goal and turnover on downs. That was the difference. “We’re obviously not tanking,” said , who caught a 32-yard touchdown. “Football, you get hit. I'm not trying to go out there and just let people tee off on me to tank. I'm not about to let people dive at my knees for free.” Time will tell if Daboll returns as the Giants coach next year. It still seems unlikely. It won’t matter who the Giants replace him with, though, if they can’t fix what’s happened under center since retired. They need a quarterback. The path to one was once so clear. It’s much murkier now.Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, vowed to go to "war" to defend the H-1B visa program for foreign tech workers late Friday amid a dispute between President-elect Donald Trump's longtime supporters and his most recently acquired backers from the tech industry. In a post on social media platform X, Musk said, "The reason I'm in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B." "I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend," he added. Musk, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in South Africa, has held an H-1B visa, and his electric-car company Tesla obtained 724 of the visas this year. H-1B visas are typically for three-year periods, though holders can extend them or apply for green cards. Musk's tweet was directed at Trump's supporters and immigration hardliners who have increasingly pushed for the H-1B visa program to be scrapped amid a heated debate over immigration and the place of skilled immigrants and foreign workers brought into the country on work visas. Trump has so far remained silent on the issue. The Trump transition did not respond to a request for comment on Musk's tweets and the H-1B visa debate. In the past, Trump has expressed a willingness to provide more work visas to skilled workers. He has also promised to deport all immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally, deploy tariffs to help create more jobs for American citizens, and severely restrict immigration. The issue highlights how tech leaders such as Musk — who has taken an important role in the presidential transition, advising on key personnel and policy areas — are now drawing scrutiny from his base. The U.S. tech industry relies on the government's H-1B visa program to hire foreign skilled workers to help run its companies, a labor force that critics say undercuts wages for American citizens. The altercation was set off this week by far-right activists who criticized Trump's selection of Sriram Krishnan, an Indian American venture capitalist, to be an adviser on artificial intelligence, saying he would have influence on the Trump administration's immigration policies. On Friday, Steve Bannon, a longtime Trump confidante, critiqued "big tech oligarchs" for supporting the H-1B program and cast immigration as a threat to Western civilization. In response, Musk and many other tech billionaires drew a line between what they view as legal immigration and illegal immigration. Musk has spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars helping Trump get elected president in November. He has posted regularly this week about the lack of homegrown talent to fill all the needed positions within American tech companies.

Global Neurofeedback System Market To Reach $2.14 Billion By 2028 With A Growth Rate Of 10.7%Once a month, the team at Bell Potter releases its Australian equities panel. The broker describes its panel as follows: Our panel of favoured Australian equities offer attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term. We consider the current macro-economic backdrop and investment environment, focusing on quality companies with proven track records, strong management teams and competitive advantages. Among the shares that feature on its panel this month are the two ASX 200 listed below. Let's see why the broker is feeling particularly bullish on these names: ( ) The first ASX 200 blue chip share that could be a buy according to Bell Potter is James Hardie. It is a global fibre cement manufacturer with operations in Australia, United States, and Europe. Bell Potter highlights that it is the leader in fibre cement with a ~90% share of the US market. This allows James Hardie to enjoy substantial pricing power and a strong brand. This in turn is supportive of one of the highest return on equities (ROEs) in the market at ~30%. The good news is that Bell Potter believes the company's earnings are on the cusp of expanding thanks to structural drivers. It said: In our view, James Hardie is poised for continued earnings expansion, driven by the structural shift towards fibre cement in the US. Households in the US continue to shift to fibre cement cladding from vinyl/timber, providing a multiyear runway for JHX's revenue and profit growth. With a strong market position, premium brand, and pricing power, JHX is poised to capitalise on structural growth in the fibre cement market and cyclical tailwinds from potential rate cuts. Bell Potter has a buy rating and $64.00 price target on its shares. WiseTech Global Ltd ( ) Another ASX 200 blue chip share that Bell Potter has on its Australian equities panel is WiseTech Global. It is a leading global provider of software solutions to the logistics services industry. The key product in its arsenal is CargoWise One, which is a market leading solution that is used by many of the largest logistics providers in the world. Bell Potter rates the company highly due to its high level of recurring revenue and the launch of new products. It expects these to underpin an acceleration in growth. It said: WTC has a high degree of recurring revenue (80-85%) and should continue to grow its revenue/earnings from further customer wins. We see CargoWise as the market leader in freight forwarding software and expect growth to accelerate due to the launch of three new products, as well as ongoing global roll-out wins. All up, WTC is a growth story with strategic acquisitions representing upside potential enabling WTC to benefit from large-scale global rollouts and consolidation within the logistics sector. Bell Potter has a buy rating and $140.00 price target on its shares.Baby kept in a drawer for almost three years ‘had never seen daylight’ as mum jailed over ‘extreme neglect’
