The recently retired Andy Murray is going to team up with longtime rival Novak Djokovic as his coach, they both announced Saturday, with plans to prepare for — and work together through — the Australian Open in January. It was a stunning bit of news as tennis moves toward its offseason , a pairing of two of the most successful and popular players in the sport, both of whom are sometimes referred to as members of a so-called Big Four that also included Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal . Djokovic is a 24-time Grand Slam champion who has spent more weeks at No. 1 than any other player in tennis history. Murray won three major trophies and two Olympic singles gold medals and finished 2016 atop the ATP rankings. He ended his playing career after the Paris Summer Games in August. Both men are 37 and were born a week apart in May 1987. They started facing each other as juniors and wound up meeting 36 times as professionals, with Djokovic holding a 25-11 advantage. “We played each other since we were boys — 25 years of being rivals, of pushing each other beyond our limits. We had some of the most epic battles in our sport. They called us game-changers, risk-takers, history-makers,” Djokovic posted on social media over photos and videos from some of their matches. “I thought our story may be over. Turns out, it has one final chapter. It’s time for one of my toughest opponents to step into my corner. Welcome on board, Coach — Andy Murray.” Djokovic's 2024 season is over, and it was not up to his usual, high standards. He didn't win a Grand Slam trophy ; his only title, though, was meaningful to him: a gold medal for Serbia in singles at the Summer Games. Djokovic has been without a full-time coach since splitting in March from Goran Ivanisevic. “I’m going to be joining Novak’s team in the offseason, helping him to prepare for the Australian Open," Murray said in a statement released by his management team. "I’m really excited for it and looking forward to spending time on the same side of the net as Novak for a change, helping him to achieve his goals.” Their head-to-head series on tour includes an 11-8 lead for Djokovic in finals, and 8-2 at Grand Slam tournaments. Djokovic beat Murray four times in the Australian Open final alone — in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2016. Two of the most important victories of Murray's career came with Djokovic on the other side of the net. One was in the 2012 U.S. Open final , when Murray claimed his first Grand Slam title. The other was in the 2013 Wimbledon final , when Murray became the first British man in 77 years to win the singles championship at the All England Club.

Trump threatens 100% tariff on the BRIC bloc of nations if they act to undermine US dollar

Celtics Big Man to Miss Tonight’s Game vs. WizardsTrump's threat to impose tariffs could raise prices for consumers, colliding with promise for relief DETROIT (AP) — If Donald Trump makes good on his threat to slap 25% tariffs on everything imported from Mexico and Canada, the price increases that could follow will collide with his campaign promise to give American families a break from inflation. Economists and industry officials say companies would have little choice but to pass along the added costs, dramatically raising prices for food, clothing, automobiles, booze and other goods. The president-elect floated the tariff idea and an additional 10% tax on goods from China, as a way to force the countries to halt the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs into the U.S. But his posts Monday threatening tariffs on his first day in office could be a negotiating ploy to get the countries to change behavior. Trump’s latest tariff plan aims at multiple countries. What does it mean for the US? WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has identified what he sees as an all-purpose fix for what ails America: Slap huge new tariffs on foreign goods entering the United States. On Monday, Trump sent shockwaves across the nation’s northern and southern borders, vowing sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada, as well as China, as part of his effort to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. Trump said he will impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China, as one of his first executive orders. Canadian officials blast Trump's tariff threat and one calls Mexico comparison an insult TORONTO (AP) — Canadian officials are blasting President-elect Donald’s Trump’s threat to impose sweeping tariffs. The leader of Canada's most populous province on Tuesday called Trump’s comparison of Canada to Mexico “the most insulting thing I’ve ever heard.” Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada, Mexico and China as soon as he takes office in January as part of efforts to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico. Canadians say their economy and the U.S. one are deeply intertwined and Americans would feel tariffs, too. Biden proposes Medicare and Medicaid cover costly weight-loss drugs for millions of obese Americans WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of obese Americans would be eligible to have popular weight-loss drugs like Wegovy or Zepbound covered by Medicare or Medicaid under a new rule the Biden administration proposed Tuesday morning. The proposal, which would not be finalized until after President-elect Donald Trump takes office, could cost taxpayers as much as $35 billion over the next decade. It would give millions of people access to weekly injectables that have helped people shed pounds so quickly that some people have labeled them miracle drugs. Surveillance tech advances by Biden could aid in Trump's promised crackdown on immigration President-elect Donald Trump will return to power next year with a raft of technological tools at his disposal that would help deliver his campaign promise of cracking down on immigration — among them, surveillance and artificial intelligence technology that the Biden administration already uses to help make crucial decisions in tracking, detaining and ultimately deporting immigrants lacking permanent legal status. One algorithm, for example, ranks immigrants with a “Hurricane Score,” ranging from 1-5, to assess whether someone will “abscond” from the agency’s supervision. Thanksgiving travel is cranking up. Will the weather cooperate? The Thanksgiving travel rush is picking up, with Tuesday and Wednesday expected to be much busier than the last couple days. A lot of travelers will be watching weather forecasts to see if rain or snow could slow them down. The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen more than 2.8 million people on Tuesday and 2.9 million on Wednesday after handling more than 2.5 million people on Monday. So far, relatively few flights have been canceled this week, but there have been thousands of delayed flights every day. That is becoming normal for U.S. airlines. Federal agency raises the size of most single-family loans the government can guarantee to $806,500 The Federal Housing Finance Agency is increasing the size of home loans that the government can guarantee against default as it takes into account rising housing prices. Beginning next year, mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be able to acquire loans of up to $806,500 on single-family homes in most of the country, the agency said Tuesday. The new conforming loan limit is a 5.2% increase from its 2024 level. FHFA oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which buy home loans from banks and other lenders. FHFA adjusts the loan limits annually to reflect changes in U.S. home values, which have been rising this year despite a national home sales slump. Stock market today: Wall Street hangs near its records despite tariff talk NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are hanging near their records on Tuesday as Wall Street takes Donald Trump’s latest talk about tariffs in stride. The S&P 500 rose 0.4% in Tuesday afternoon trading and was on track to top its all-time high set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 49 points from its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite rose 0.6%. Stock markets abroad were down, but mostly only modestly, after President-elect Trump said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China as soon as he takes office. Treasury yields rose modestly in the bond market. What Black Friday's history tells us about holiday shopping in 2024 NEW YORK (AP) — The holiday shopping season is about to reach full speed with Black Friday, which kicks off the post-Thanksgiving retail rush later this week. The annual sales event no longer creates the midnight mall crowds or doorbuster mayhem of recent decades, in large part due to the ease of online shopping and habits forged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hoping to entice equivocating consumers, retailers already have spent weeks bombarding customers with ads and early offers. Still, whether visiting stores or clicking on countless emails promising huge savings, tens of millions of U.S. shoppers are expected to spend money on Black Friday itself this year. Biden administration to loan $6.6B to EV maker Rivian to build Georgia factory that automaker paused ATLANTA (AP) — President Joe Biden’s administration will loan $6.6 billion to electric vehicle maker Rivian Automotive to build a Georgia factory. The announcement Tuesday comes less than two months before Donald Trump becomes president again. It’s unclear whether the Biden administration can complete the loan in that time, or whether the Trump administration might try to claw the money back. Rivian announced a $5 billion Georgia factory in 2021. But the startup automaker couldn't meet production targets and rapidly burned through cash. The company paused construction of the Georgia plant in March. The company now says its plans for producing electric vehicles in Georgia are back on.Andy Murray enters new chapter with Novak Djokovic as coach of long-time rivalNone

SHAREHOLDER INVESTIGATION: Halper Sadeh LLC Investigates LBRDA, CFB, NBR on Behalf of ShareholdersMaryam condoles martyrdom of 4 Rangers men Maryam says miscreants are writing bloody chapter in political history LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has regretted the martyrdom of four Rangers personnel. “The martyrs were someone’s sons and brothers, injustice was done,” she said while expressing sorrow over the martyrdom. She condemned the miscreants for crushing the personnel by a vehicle. “Is killing and injuring others considered a peaceful protest? The miscreants are writing a bloody chapter in political history.” Meanwhile, chairing a meeting on agriculture, Maryam said for the first time, there is an abundance of fertilizers in Punjab in the Rabi season, and prices have come down. She said: “As much as 30% more stock of DAP fertilizer is available in Punjab, and a 17% reduction in its price during the wheat season has been observed for the first time. As much as 125% more stock of urea fertilizer than required is available, and a 25% reduction in its price has been observed in the province. The wheat cultivation target on 16.5 million acres across Punjab has been set and 82% of sowing target has been achieved.” She said: “The wheat cultivation target will be met across the province by December 10. Wheat cultivation on 326,000 acres of government land across Punjab has been set. Forty thousand agriculture graduate interns are available to assist farmers. Applications have been invited for a free grant of 1,000 green tractors and 1,000 land levelers for wheat farmers under a government scheme.” She directed authorities to improve wheat storage capacity. She appreciated the agriculture minister and his team for their efforts in this regard.

KYTX Investors Have Opportunity to Lead Kyverna Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: KYTX) Securities Fraud LawsuitThe devastating toll Hurricane Helene inflicted on Georgia this fall will be felt for years in hard hit parts of the state. The storm caused an estimated $5.5 billion in damage to the state’s agriculture and forestry sectors, plus billions more in property losses — and claimed at least 33 lives. But death and destruction may not be all Helene left behind: New federal projections show the storm might have helped spread invasive species, too. An analysis released this week by the U.S. Geological Survey shows Hurricane Helene may have allowed as many as 222 nonnative and invasive species to infiltrate farther into parts of Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and even deep into the Appalachian Mountains. Of those, 90 are considered invasive, meaning their potential introduction to new territory could threaten human health, the environment and the economy. Hurricane Milton, which slammed Florida as a Category 3 storm about two weeks after Helene, may have dispersed unwanted critters of its own. The USGS’ early projections show the storm could have spread roughly 114 species, including 56 invasives. Most of Milton’s spread likely occurred on the Florida Peninsula, but rain from the storm that stretched into southeast Georgia could have allowed unwanted plants and creatures to expand their range there, too. The agency did not analyze the effects of Hurricane Debby, which brought heavy flooding to Georgia and the Carolinas in August, though over a much smaller area. USGS started conducting these surveys after major storms following Hurricane Harvey, which triggered historic flooding in the Houston area in 2017. The researchers rely on a mix of stream and river gauge readings, topographical data and information on the known presence of species to make their projections. Hurricane Helene made landfall in late September in Florida’s Big Bend Region as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 140 miles per hour, ranking as one of the strongest storms on record to hit the U.S. Helene’s powerful winds mangled structures, crops and timber stocks across Georgia, but the inland flooding it unleashed — especially in the Carolinas and Tennessee — was to blame for the most severe damage. Those same floodwaters may have provided avenues for invasives to spread, particularly aquatic species, said Ian Pfingsten, a USGS botanist who contributed to the analyses for Helene and Milton. An estimated 100 species had the potential to spread in Georgia via flooding or swollen waterways caused by the storms, Pfingsten said. “We’re dealing with species that can not only float and disperse, like plants and mollusks, but also a lot of fish that will actively swim through the floodwaters,” he said. Among the most concerning species that may have capitalized on the temporary travel corridors in Georgia are the Asian swamp eel, the giant applesnail and the cane toad. Asian swamp eels , Monopterus albus, are native to India, Myanmar, China and other pockets of Asia but were introduced into ponds around the Chattahoochee Nature Center in Roswell in the mid-1990s , likely after being dumped from a home aquarium. The species has since proliferated in the Chattahoochee River Basin, particularly around Atlanta. Atlanta saw record rainfall and major flooding during Helene , especially along tributaries of the Chattahoochee, and USGS experts said the high water could have given the eels an opportunity to venture downstream. Asian swamp eels are known to harbor dangerous parasites that can harm humans and other animals. Giant applesnails , Pomacea maculata, might have also benefited from the storms. Native to the Amazon River basin and other parts of South America, the giant snails are already found in many Georgia waterways, including the Upper Chattahoochee River, the Lower Flint River and many more across South Georgia. The snails are typically tan-brown or yellow and black with striped patterns, but are best distinguished by the wide opening to their shell. Applesnails are a known agricultural pest and, like eels, carry dangerous nematodes capable of causing serious illness in humans. Then there’s the cane toad , Rhinella marina, an enormous, wart-covered amphibian native to South America. The toads, which can weigh as much as 3 pounds, are already established in Florida and pockets of the Gulf Coast. Cane toads pack glands containing a toxic secretion that can poison dogs, cats and even people who come into contact with it. Georgia wildlife officials say there have been sporadic cane toad sightings in the state before, but no breeding populations have been confirmed. USGS experts said there are no indications for now the hurricanes brought more of the pests to Georgia, but it could have been possible for tadpoles to hitch a ride in floodwaters. Georgia already has its share of destructive invasive species. Just weeks ago, state agriculture officials confirmed the spotted lanternfly, an invasive fly known for its stinky and destructive secretions, has been found in the state , but its arrival is likely unrelated to the hurricanes. Still, Georgia officials said they are keeping their eyes open — and have asked the public to do the same. A spokesperson for the Georgia Department of Agriculture said the agency has not seen an uptick in invasives after past storms but encouraged Georgians to remain vigilant if they see unusual plants, insects or animals. The public can report potential sightings, adding that it is “vital” that photos or specimens themselves are captured, if it’s safe to do so. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources said it is aware that storms can help spread invasive species, but so far, staff contacted had not confirmed any new cases linked to hurricane season. ©2024 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Increasing revenue shortfall risking IMF package- Leading efficient care management for the elderly with unimpeded smartcar e h ttps://img.hankyung.com/pdsdata/pr.hankyung.com/uploads/2024/11/image01-1.png SEOUL, South Korea , Nov. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- JCF Technology is a startup that independently developed 'MecKare', a radar sensor that measures biological signals in a non-contact manner, and provides a platform service that automatically connects users and guardians in two-way emergency situations through an artificial intelligence analysis system. Since its establishment in 2016, it has developed a highly accurate non-contact multi-biological radar sensor through many years of technology accumulation, and succeeded in commercializing the product for the first time in 2021. MecKare uses microwave radar and micro-Doppler signal processing technology to measure the user's heart rate, respiratory rate, and skin temperature within 16.4 ft in real time. The sensor can measure human body movement patterns using precise and highly responsive thermal infrared rays and can detect falls through pattern analysis based on changes in human movement. In particular, the movement and change of thermal infrared rays within the measurement range are detected in real time, and the trend of biomarkers that appear as advance signs before a person falls can be checked through differential motion detection that measures the user's movement pattern. It provides an alarm in advance by predicting before a person falls, enabling accuracy and quick response to accidents. As a result, it is possible to prevent safety accidents in the elderly by detecting emergency situations such as lonely death, cardiac arrest, breathing difficulties, and falls. Additionally, unlike other existing wearable devices such as smart watches or bands, MecKare does not need to be worn or attached to the body, so it can be used remotely via Wi-Fi without causing stress to the user. https://img.hankyung.com/pdsdata/pr.hankyung.com/uploads/2024/11/image02.png MecKare can be installed in the bedroom, bathroom, living room, or entrance of a home or facilities(Assisted Living, Nursing Home, etc) to provide 24-hour monitoring without a camera and detect abnormal signs in advance using a biometric information analysis algorithm and deliver them to the guardian. MecKare's radar biometric sensor is recognized in the global market for its technology as a device that obtains precisely customized biometric information while overcoming spatial constraints and without risk of privacy infringement. MecKare is being supplied to senior care facilities in Australia , Germany , Poland , Saudi Arabia , and China . In 2025, MecKare plans to conduct verification of vital signs such as attendance, fall prevention, and asthma of elderly people living in hospitals or assisted living in conjunction with local PPOs/HMOs in the United States . In summary, MecKare is a system that reduces user inconvenience and enables management of multiple patients. By being able to provide personalized health data analysis results, it will serve as an opportunity to change the market paradigm towards preventive smart care. We expect MecKare's A.I to play a role as an innovator that complements, rather than replaces, humans in care settings.

All rights reserved.Linda McMahon ’s longtime relationship with her ex-husband Vince McMahon is a complicated one. The couple dated throughout high school and wedded when Linda was 17. Together they founded the sports-entertainment company that eventually became known as World Wrestling Entertainment—WWE for short—that made them billionaires . Below is a look back at the couple’s decades-long relationship, including reports of infidelity, bankruptcy, and, most recently, the announcement of a separation just as Linda is poised to lead the Department of Education as a Donald Trump appointee. ADVERTISEMENT Linda, 76, and Vince, 79, are both natives of North Carolina. Vince had a turbulent childhood and was raised by his mom and numerous stepfathers—including one who abused him and his mother—after his biological dad, the big-shot wrestling promoter Vincent J. McMahon, abandoned the family when he was a baby. Linda, meanwhile, was the only child in a conservative Baptist family. Linda first met Vince when she was 13 and he was 16. They connected through her parents, who worked in the same building as Vince’s mom at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. Vince said in 2010 that he enjoyed spending time with Linda’s family because her household was filled with “stability and love” and he “wanted more of it.” Linda and Vince started dating while they were in high school, despite their schools—a military academy in Virginia for Vince, a public school near the North Carolina coast for Linda—being hundreds of miles apart. After graduation, Vince moved back to his home state and attended East Carolina University to study marketing. Vince asked Linda to marry him after she graduated high school and they got hitched shortly after, with Linda saying “I do” when she was just 17 in 1966. She then joined Vince in enrolling at East Carolina that same year to study French. Linda graduated from ECU in three years and the couple moved to Maryland. There, Linda worked at a corporate law office where she translated French documents, trained as a paralegal, and studied intellectual property rights. At the same time, Vince said he worked as many as 90 hours a week at a nearby quarry. Vince wanted to be a promoter like his father, who he first met when he was 12, and he invested his earnings into a number of failed business ventures. That included financing a stunt by Evel Knievel and investing in a construction company that Linda said went “belly up.” By 1976, the couple was on the ropes financially. They briefly relied on food stamps and, by the year’s end, filed for bankruptcy. Linda said she watched in agony as her car was repossessed from her driveway while she was pregnant with Stephanie, her second child and only daughter. The McMahon’s house was eventually auctioned off, too. The McMahon’s didn’t let that setback kill their big business dreams. Instead, as Linda explained to CNBC in 2017, they needed to “go right back into it, on the mission and the plan and the strategy that we knew and understood.” That strategy, it turns out, was pro-wrestling. Vince had already been working for his father’s World Wide Wrestling Federation in a number of roles—as a promoter, play-by-play commentator, and as a ring announcer—but they made their big break in the early 1980s when the couple officially founded Titan Sports. That company, which later was renamed to the WWE, employed Linda as its “co-chief executive” and exploded in popularity after the McMahon’s purchased the WWF in 1982 from Vince’s ailing father. The McMahon’s transformed professional wrestling from an industry controlled by regional promoters and turned it into a national spectacle, with super stars like Hulk Hogan and The Rock central to its takeover. The first of many scandals in Vince’s career came in the early 1990s. The bombastic CEO was indicted for allegedly overlooking the distribution out steroids to his wrestlers—a charge that could have sent him to prison for up to 11 years. In the trial, wrestlers attributed their drug use to wanting to meet the demands of Vince and their fans. Vince was ultimately acquitted, but the scandal shined a light on the darker side of his rapidly-growing wrestling world. Just prior to the scandal going public, Linda penned a memo to the company’s vice president ordering him to terminate the on-call physician and warn him about imminent charges he faced over steroid distribution. Linda’s political opponents later used this letter—nicknamed the “tip-off” letter—against her during her failed 2010 Senate campaign. Not long after, in 1992, a former referee in the WWF accused Vince of raping her in a limousine after she allegedly refused to give him oral sex. McMahon has long denied that accusation. Fallout from that allegation lingered into the 21st century, with the ex-wrestler Leonard Inzitari corroborating the claim in a 2022 interview with New York magazine. That interview came just after Vince’s accuser, Rita Chatterton, filed a sexual abuse lawsuit that was ultimately settled outside of court. Vince grabbed unsavory headlines again in 2006 after a woman told police the WWE boss had showed her naked photos of himself, groped her, and tried to kiss her inside a Florida tanning salon. The woman allegedly fled in distress to a Papa John’s location at the end of a Boca Raton strip mall before calling authorities. The alleged incident was recorded by police, who wrote in a report that there is “probable cause to believe that Vince McMahon did actually and intentionally touch against the will” of the victim. However, authorities ultimately decided to not press charges against the celeb, who’d been in town for the Royal Rumble in nearby Miami. The former WWE writer, Chris DeJoseph, revealed this year that he was at the McMahon family home for a meeting when the allegation first became public. He said both Linda and Stephanie were peeved. “The meeting was completely cut off,” DeJoseph said . “We were all thrown out. We all had to go home. We got halfway throughout our meeting and that was it, and we didn’t see him for another three days. And I remember Stephanie, I think she was red hot. I think Linda was pretty hot, too.” McMahon denied any wrongdoing through his lawyers in 2006. The McMahons were longtime supporters of Trump and made a pair of donations in 2007 and 2009 that totaled $9 million to his foundation. It was around that time when Trump appeared on Wrestlemania in 2007 and famously shaved off Vince’s hair on live TV. Years later, Linda went as far as donating $6 million to a pro-Trump Super PAC just before Trump was elected to his first term in office. Shortly after winning the election, Trump announced in December 2016 that he’d nominated McMahon to lead the Small Business Administration. She was easily confirmed for the role and served in the position until 2019, when she resigned to lead a Super PAC that sought to get Trump re-elected. Her tenure was widely viewed as successful and was scandal free. Perhaps that’s why she is—so far—the only member from Trump’s first term to be appointed to his cabinet a second time. In the meantime, she’s serving as a co-chair on Trump’s transition team. Perhaps the darkest year for the McMahon family came in 2022. That’s when Vince was slapped with bombshell allegations of sexual assault and secret settlements. The WWE’s board launched a probe into a supposed $3 million settlement McMahon made to a former employee he allegedly had an affair with. The woman, who’d been hired as a paralegal, reportedly saw her salary double once their relationship began. Once it ended, the Wall Street Journal reported that the woman was pressured to sign an agreement that silenced her. That probe opened the floodgates for a deluge of sordid allegations. The WWE’s board said it uncovered that he’d paid a combined $12 million to four women over the years in exchange for their silence over allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct. Among the worst allegations came from a former wrestler who accused Vince of coercing her into performing oral sex on him. When he allegedly pushed for more and the woman declined, she claimed that Vince demoted her and then let her contract expire. He was also accused of sending unsolicited nude photos to a woman in the company. McMahon and WWE declined to comment at the time to the Wall Street Journal . McMahon’s image had been tarnished and pressure grew for him to step down at WWE. He did just that in June, but he was back at the company by January 2023. That second stint didn’t last long. A little over a year later, Vince resigned from his role as CEO of the TKO Group—the name of the merged company between UFC and WWE—after he was hit with more sexual misconduct allegations. Those allegation came from Janel Grant, a woman who worked in WWE’s legal and talent departments. She alleged that Vince had forced her into a sexual relationship—threatening to fire her if she didn’t oblige—and passed around pornographic pictures and videos of her to other men in the company. Vince has denied those accusations. Both Linda and Vince have been named in the most recent sex scandal involving the McMahon name. Five former ring boys accused the couple of inaction in a sex abuse lawsuit. The anonymous men alleged that between the 1970s to the 1990s, the former WWE announcer Melvin Phillips Jr. groomed and sexually assaulted them and other minors—abuse they allege was known about by the company’s executives but was not acted upon. Phillips’ “peculiar and unnatural interest” in young boys prompted the couple to fire the announcer in 1988, the lawsuit said. However, they quickly reinstated him on the condition he “steer clear from kids,” which the lawsuit claims he didn’t. Linda’s lawyer, Laura Brevetti, called the lawsuit’s complaints “baseless” on Wednesday. It was in that very statement that Brevetti revealed Linda and Vince, after nearly six decades together, were separated. “This civil lawsuit based upon thirty-plus year-old allegations is filled with scurrilous lies, exaggerations, and misrepresentations regarding Linda McMahon,” Brevetti said in a statement to the Daily Beast. “The matter at the time was investigated by company attorneys and the FBI, which found no grounds to continue the investigation. Ms. McMahon will vigorously defend against this baseless lawsuit and without doubt ultimately succeed.” The Daily Beast Podcast episodes are released every Thursday.

The New York Jets have had very few things go right for them in 2024. At 3-8, New York has an extremely slim chance of making the playoffs with six weeks remaining. A massive reason for the Jets' disappointing season has been the play of quarterback Aaron Rodgers. At 40 years old, Rodgers simply has not looked like the same player he did earlier in his career. Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images Although he hasn't missed a game, Rodgers has spent plenty of time this season on the injury report with multiple ailments. Earlier in the week, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Rodgers refused medical scans earlier in the season so that he wouldn't miss any time. During an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," Rodgers directly addressed those rumors. "There was no mandate ever, 'You gotta get this scan,' and I was like 'I ain't (expletive) getting a scan.' It was, 'Listen, how do you feel?' I told them, 'I know my body well. What do you see in your diagnosis? What are the risks of playing? What is the likelihood of playing? What do I have to do to get back?' And that was that," said Rodgers. Related: Is Shedeur vs. Cam as Jets' Draft Move Perfectly Clear? There wasn't any weirdness around it," continued Rodgers. "We had a lot of great conversations where they diagnosed what I was dealing with. I told them how I was feeling. We talked about the possibilities of playing and rehab and what it would take." Many Jets fans will likely hope that Rodgers is telling the truth, as his refusing medical scans would certainly be a bad look for an organization that has already struggled in the past with dysfunctional leadership.
