It doesn't matter if he's talking about the NFL or Thanksgiving dinner, Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston is always going to be true to himself. During a recent appearance on Ohio Sports talk show "BIGPLAY," Winston was asked if there are any side dishes he avoids on Thanksgiving. The former No. 1 pick quickly revealed that he's not a fan of mashed potatoes. He just doesn't think they deserve to be part of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. "There's not really much I avoid on Thanksgiving. I just have this thing where I'm like, 'Please don't bring mashed potatoes.' I really don't think it's a staple," Winston said . One of the co-hosts for "BIGPLAY" tried to talk Winston into changing his tune on mashed potatoes, but he wasn't having any of it. "Gravy is for the dressing or stuffing. You don't need gravy for mashed potatoes, you know what I'm saying? It's not a Thanksgiving meal. I would rather have a baked potato." Jameis Winston HATES mashed potatoes 😅 “Please don't bring mashed potatoes to Thanksgiving... I would rather just have a baked potato.” I can watch him talk ALL DAY. (🎥 @BIGPLAY ) pic.twitter.com/C14UhRHCT1 We initially thought Winston would receive pushback on social media for this take, but it's quite the contrary. Most fans are applauding the veteran gunslinger for apparently speaking the truth about mashed potatoes. "Couldn't agree more. That's my QB1," one fan said. "I agree with Jameis," another fan wrote. "Mashed Potatoes are mid." "Valid take. Mashed potatoes are nasty," a third person commented. Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images While Winston's food takes might be a tad controversial, there's no questioning that he has given the Browns a spark this season. They're 2-2 when he starts at quarterback. Last week, Winston led the Browns to an upset win over the Steelers. He orchestrated a game-winning drive in the snow. Winston will be back in action on Monday night when the Browns take on the Broncos in the Mile High City.

Incarnate Word beats East Texas A&M 38-24 to finish undefeated in conference play
Democrat Bob Casey concedes to Republican David McCormick in Pennsylvania Senate contestDENVER — Mayor Mike Johnston’s pointed comments last week about Denverites resisting a federal mass-deportation effort — including a suggestion that he would mobilize the Denver police department to face off with federal and National Guard troops — have generated blowback in Colorado and across the country. Even billionaire Elon Musk, President-elect Donald Trump’s most visible benefactor and adviser, appeared to weigh in on Saturday on X, the social media platform that Musk owns. “Those who break the law will be arrested, and that includes mayors,” Musk posted in response to another post about the mayor’s comments. On Monday, Johnston reiterated his commitment to resisting what he views as a desire by Trump to abuse the power of the presidency by initiating a nationwide roundup and mass deportation of undocumented immigrants. But the second-year mayor stopped short of providing any specifics of what that resistance might look like. “Denver is proud to be a welcoming city, and we will do everything in our power to protect those who live here,” Johnston said in a statement. “We are considering a number of options to strengthen protections for all our residents, and we continue to provide education about the rights of our immigrant community so they can best protect themselves from any unlawful actions.” In the days following Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential race this month, Johnston told The Denver Post that the city would not cooperate with the incoming Republican president’s stated goal of deporting millions of undocumented immigrants in the country. He defended the city’s policies as a so-called sanctuary city that for years has refused to work with federal immigration officials on enforcement actions. He also touted his office’s program that has supported hundreds of asylum seekers from the U.S. southern border — mostly Venezuelans fleeing economic and political strife in that country — with housing, food and job training this year. They were among tens of thousands of migrants who have come to Denver in the last two years. But in an interview with Denverite published Wednesday, Johnston took his rhetoric to another level. He invoked pro-democracy protests in China’s Tiananmen Square in 1989 as an analogy for Denver residents who would stand up against the federal government, should Trump follow through on threats to mobilize the military against communities that do not cooperate with his deportation plans. He also suggested the city’s police could be part of a resistance action. “More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,” Johnston said in that interview. “It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right? You’d have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. And you do not want to mess with them.” The comments generated near-immediate blowback in Colorado. George Brauchler, a conservative talk radio host and newly elected district attorney for Colorado’s 23rd Judicial District in south metro Denver, reacted to Johnston’s comments on Thursday morning by posting on his X account a portion of the oath Denver police officers take when they are sworn in. “Denver PD Oath: ‘I do swear by the ever-loving God to that I will support the Laws and Constitution of the United States and...’ Now what?” Brauchler wrote, pointing to the conflict between supporting the Constitution and following mayoral orders that could defy a presidential action. By Friday, Johnston was walking back some of his comments. But he also doubled down on his commitment to resist the Trump administration’s deportation plans. In an interview with 9News reporter Marc Sallinger, Johnston said he regretted invoking the image of Denver police officers facing off with federal troops. “I want to be clear, we have no plan for armed conflict with the federal government. We have no desire to do that. There is no interest and we have no plan to do that,” Johnston said. But in response to questions from Sallinger, Johnston said he would be willing personally to protest federal deportation actions — and, if necessary, face arrest. “If I believed that our residents are having their rights violated, if I think things are happening that are illegal or immoral or un-American in our city, I would certainly protest it, and I would expect other residents would do the same,” Johnston said. “I’m not afraid of (being arrested) — and I’m also not seeking that. I think the goal is we want to be able to negotiate with reasonable people (on) how to solve hard problems.” That interview did not tamp down the criticism from some quarters nationally. After the right-wing account End Wokeness shared the clip on X of Johnston saying he did not fear arrest, Donald Trump Jr., the president-elect’s oldest son, reposted the clip with the comment: “Your terms are acceptable.” U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, the far-right congresswoman who next year will take a new seat representing Colorado 4th Congressional District, has posted on her X account about Johnston’s comments on three of the last four days. On Monday, she shared the same interview snippet of Johnston saying he did not fear arrest for opposing deportation efforts, adding the comment: “If only the Left was as interested in taking care of Americans as they are in taking care of illegals. We could achieve great things working together. Instead, we have this!” ©2024 MediaNews Group, Inc. Visit at denverpost.com . Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.Each quarter, institutional investment firms managing over $100 million are required to file a form 13F with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). I like to think about 13Fs as an itemized receipt outlining which stocks Wall Street is buying and selling. While analyzing the filings from Millennium Management, a hedge fund run by billionaire investor Israel Englander, I came across something pretty interesting. During the third quarter, Englander trimmed Millennium's position in Nvidia by a modest 12.6%. While this may not seem like much, consider that Millennium has been a net seller of Nvidia stock for four consecutive quarters now. Below, I'm going to explore two other darlings in the artificial intelligence (AI) realm that Millennium has been buying lately as the fund appears to be taking a breather from Nvidia. 1. Microsoft During the third quarter, Millennium Management scooped up 1.6 million shares of Microsoft ( MSFT 1.00% ) -- increasing its position by 51.4%. In my eyes Microsoft can be credited with kick-starting the AI revolution. Shortly after OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022, Microsoft swooped in and invested $10 billion into the start-up. Microsoft's rationale was to leverage ChatGPT's generative AI capabilities and integrate this technology throughout its ecosystem. The biggest new product release out of Microsoft following its partnership with OpenAI is the introduction of a host of virtual assistants, called Copilot. According to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, "Nearly 70% of the Fortune 500 now use Microsoft 365 Copilot, and customers continue to adopt it at a faster rate than any other new Microsoft 365 suite." Do not underestimate Nadella's words. Microsoft's first-mover advantage in the AI landscape has allowed the company to not only develop AI-powered services faster, but sell them more quickly as well. I see the rapid adoption of Copilot by the world's largest enterprises over the last two years as an extremely encouraging sign. And what's even better is that Nadella subtly alludes to the idea that Copilot's momentum is just getting started. In this article, fellow Fool.com contributor Danny Vena notes that growth from Microsoft's Azure cloud computing business "included roughly 12 points from AI services." This metric is going to become critical for Microsoft over time. It's well known by now that Microsoft is a dominant force in the cloud space, primarily competing with Amazon and Alphabet . As time goes on, I encourage investors not only to look at the rate at which Azure is growing relative to the competition, but to really dial in on how much of its growth can be traced back to Microsoft's AI efforts. MSFT PE Ratio data by YCharts In addition to Microsoft's impressive penetration of the AI market so far, what may have also influenced Englander's decision to buy the stock is valuation. Right now, Microsoft shares trade at a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of 34.4. Indeed, this is considerably higher than that of the S&P 500 -- which has an average P/E ratio of 27.9. However, as the chart above indicates, Microsoft's current P/E is essentially in line with the company's 10-year average multiple. Microsoft may actually be underpriced right now despite its premium to the broader market. Microsoft is a much larger and more sophisticated company today than it was a decade ago. Moreover, the AI narrative is just getting started; and if Microsoft's current progress is any indication of what's to come, I'd say the company's long-run outlook is quite strong. I think Microsoft is a compelling opportunity at the moment and think Millennium's decision to buy the stock will prove wise. 2. Meta Platforms Another AI stock that Englander doubled down on during the third quarter is Meta Platforms ( META -0.70% ) . The table below breaks down Millennium's activity in Meta stock over the last several quarters. Metric Q3 2023 Q4 2023 Q1 2024 Q2 2024 Q3 2024 Shares Owned 2.3 million 2.0 million 2.5 million 1.2 million 1.3 million Data source: Hedge Follow. The most obvious takeaway from the data above is that Millennium has been in and out of Meta Stock to varying degrees over the last several quarters. Most notably, the fund trimmed its position significantly between Q1 and Q2 of this year, only to begin adding again over the latest quarter. Admittedly, Meta's position in the AI realm has been difficult to gauge. Although the company has an enormous advertising operation, Meta's Facebook and Instagram face fierce competition from the likes of Google, YouTube, TikTok, and even smaller social media platforms such as Pinterest and Snap . Moreover, the company's initial foray into AI was met with mixed results. While the prospects of Meta's virtual and augmented reality business is still a question mark, the company's generative AI large language model (called Llama ) is starting to give alternatives built by Amazon, Google, and OpenAI a run for their money. As I previously wrote, integrating AI into its products could result in higher engagement rates across its social media platforms. During the company's third-quarter earnings call, Meta's management validated my theory -- citing that its AI applications have started already yielding more time spent on Facebook and Instagram . The lucrative opportunity here is that if Meta can translate these rising engagement rates to more growth in its core advertising business, the company can reinvest that growth into additional AI projects and continue building a more diversified business overall. While there is still a lot to prove, the tide finally seems to be turning for Meta. These dynamics could be influencing Englander's decision to cautiously begin buying the stock again.

If it’s a joke, some former employees aren’t laughing
By JUAN A. LOZANO, Associated Press HOUSTON (AP) — An elaborate parody appears to be behind an effort to resurrect Enron, the Houston-based energy company that exemplified the worst in American corporate fraud and greed after it went bankrupt in 2001. If its return is comedic, some former employees who lost everything in Enron’s collapse aren’t laughing. “It’s a pretty sick joke and it disparages the people that did work there. And why would you want to even bring it back up again?” said former Enron employee Diana Peters, who represented workers in the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. Here’s what to know about the history of Enron and the purported effort to bring it back. Once the nation’s seventh-largest company, Enron filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 2, 2001, after years of accounting tricks could no longer hide billions of dollars in debt or make failing ventures appear profitable. The energy company’s collapse put more than 5,000 people out of work, wiped out more than $2 billion in employee pensions and rendered $60 billion in Enron stock worthless. Its aftershocks were felt throughout the energy sector. Twenty-four Enron executives , including former CEO Jeffrey Skilling , were eventually convicted for their roles in the fraud. Enron founder Ken Lay’s convictions were vacated after he died of heart disease following his 2006 trial. On Monday — the 23rd anniversary of the bankruptcy filing — a company representing itself as Enron announced in a news release that it was relaunching as a “company dedicated to solving the global energy crisis.” It also posted a video on social media, advertised on at least one Houston billboard and a took out a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle In the minute-long video that was full of generic corporate jargon, the company talks about “growth” and “rebirth.” It ends with the words, “We’re back. Can we talk?” Enron’s new website features a company store, where various items featuring the brand’s tilted “E” logo are for sale, including a $118 hoodie. In an email, company spokesperson Will Chabot said the new Enron was not doing any interviews yet, but that “We’ll have more to share soon.” Signs point to the comeback being a joke. In the “terms of use and conditions of sale” on the company’s website, it says “the information on the website about Enron is First Amendment protected parody, represents performance art, and is for entertainment purposes only.” Documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show that College Company, an Arkansas-based LLC, owns the Enron trademark. The co-founder of College Company is Connor Gaydos, who helped create a joke conspiracy theory that claims all birds are actually surveillance drones for the government. Peters said that since learning about the “relaunch” of Enron, she has spoken with several other former employees and they are also upset by it. She said the apparent stunt was “in poor taste.” “If it’s a joke, it’s rude, extremely rude. And I hope that they realize it and apologize to all of the Enron employees,” Peters said. Peters, who is 74 years old, said she is still working in information technology because “I lost everything in Enron, and so my Social Security doesn’t always take care of things I need done.” “Enron’s downfall taught us critical lessons about corporate ethics, accountability, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Enron’s legacy was the employees in the trenches. Leave Enron buried,” she said. Follow Juan A.

Morgan Rogers looked to have given Unai Emery’s side another famous win when he slammed a loose ball home at the death, but referee Jesus Gil Manzano ruled Diego Carlos to have fouled Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the goal was chalked off. It was a disappointment for Villa, who remain unbeaten at home in their debut Champions League campaign and are still in contention to qualify automatically for the last 16. A very controversial finish at Villa Park 😲 Morgan Rogers' late goal is ruled out for a foul on Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the match ends 0-0 ❌ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/MyYL5Vdy3r — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Emiliano Martinez had earlier displayed why he was named the best goalkeeper in the world as his wonder save kept his side level in the second half. The Argentina international paraded his two Yashin Trophies on the pitch before kick-off at Villa Park and then showed why he won back-to-back FIFA awards when he denied Francisco Conceicao. Before Rogers’ moment of drama in the fourth minute of added time, the closest Villa came to scoring was in the first half when Lucas Digne’s free-kick hit the crossbar. But a draw was a fair result which leaves Villa out of the top eight on goal difference and Juventus down in 19th. Before the game Emery called Juventus one of the “best teams in the world, historically and now”, but this was an Italian side down to the bare bones. Only 14 outfield players made the trip from Turin, with striker Dusan Vlahovic among those who stayed behind. The opening 30 minutes were forgettable before the game opened up. Ollie Watkins, still chasing his first Champions League goal, had Villa’s first presentable chance as he lashed an effort straight at Di Gregorio. Matty Cash then had a vicious effort from the resulting corner which was blocked by Federico Gatti and started a counter-attack which ended in Juventus striker Timothy Weah. Villa came closest to breaking the deadlock at the end of the first half when Digne’s 20-yard free-kick clipped the top of the crossbar and went over. Martinez then produced his brilliant save just after the hour. A corner made its way through to the far post where Conceicao was primed to head in at the far post, but Martinez sprawled himself across goal to scoop the ball away. How has he kept that one out?! 🤯 Emi Martinez with an INCREDIBLE save to keep it goalless at Villa Park ⛔️ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/OkcWHB7YIk — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Replays showed most of the ball went over the line, but the Argentinian got there with millimetres to spare. At the other end another fine goal-line block denied John McGinn as Manuel Locatelli got his foot in the way with Di Gregorio beaten. The game looked to be petering out until a last-gasp free-kick saw Rogers slam home, but whistle-happy official Gil Manzano halted the celebrations by ruling the goal out.Montreal police chief expects additional arrests following anti-NATO protest
Montreal’s police chief said he expects more arrests stemming from a Friday anti-NATO protest that turned violent, while one of the protest organizers on Sunday denounced political reaction as hijacking the underlying message of the demonstration. Uniformed police officers could be seen Sunday both inside and outside Montreal’s Palais des congres convention centre as the annual meeting continued with no signs of demonstrations, although some protesters had planned a “counter-summit” at a community centre just north of downtown. Chief Fady Dagher told reporters on Saturday that more arrests would be coming thanks to additional evidence gathered during the protests, adding that police were aware of who was behind the vandalism including smashed windows and burned cars as well as alleged assaults on police officers. Police said that during the march, smoke bombs were deployed, metal barriers were thrown into the street and windows smashed of nearby businesses and the convention centre where delegates from NATO parliamentary assembly, including members and partner states, gathered for a session set to wrap Monday. Among the issues being broached were support for Ukraine, climate change and the future of the alliance. Dagher estimated that about 800 people took part in protests from several groups, but about 20 to 40 people were allegedly responsible for the trouble. “I do not want to advertise these groups and glorify these groups, it is a big trap to do so,” Dagher said. “But I can assure to you ... it is a few groups.” Montreal police arrested three people following Friday’s demonstration — a 22-year-old woman who was arrested for allegedly obstructing police work and assaulting a police officer and two men, 22 and 28, also each facing a charge for allegedly obstructing police work. All are scheduled to appear in court at a later date. “Despite what you saw in the images, last-minute impromptu events are extremely difficult to anticipate,” Dagher added. “We have other pieces of evidence. So probably we will have other arrests.” Friday night’s protest was condemned by politicians of all stripes Saturday as acts of antisemitism, which one organizer rejected, saying the protests were against the actions of the state of Israel and not Jewish people. On Sunday, the Divest for Palestine Collective denounced what it called “dishonest attempts” of politicians to hijack the “anti-militarist, anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist messages” delivered by protesters. In an emailed statement, it refuted allegations of antisemitism. “These are false accusations aimed at delegitimizing the solidarity movement for the liberation of Palestine and undermining the fight against antisemitism,” the group wrote. The group defended setting ablaze a doll representing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the protest. Earlier this week, the International Court of Justice issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu as well as his former defence minister and Hamas members. “It is a legitimate expression of collective anger against the political indifference at the heart of an ongoing colonial genocide,” the collective said. The collective also denounced what it called police violence against demonstrators, saying at least four protesters had to be taken to hospital with various injuries. Dagher said he could not make a firm link between Friday’s acts and antisemitism, but added that since the Oct. 7 attacks more than one year ago, incidents and acts of antisemitism and Islamophobia have both increased enormously in the city. The police chief however, defended his officers handling of Friday’s event, which he felt could have been much worse. He added he would spend the rest of the weekend with his officers on the ground to lend support.
