Sunday’s game for the New York Jets, in Week 15 of the 2024 season, may have been the first time this year they’ve produced a solid win. A real, convincing, take-the-lead-from-a-late-game-tie victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, 32-25.

This was the week the Aaron Rodgers-Davante Adams connection finally paid off. Rodgers went 16-for-30 with three touchdowns and no interceptions, and despite that completion rate, he made each one count. Rodgers targeted Adams 12 times and Adams caught nine for 198 yards, which is the second-highest yards total of his career. All those years working together paid off everywhere, but especially on Adams’ two touchdowns (the first of which was the 100th of career). Adams also had a 71-yard catch.

The Rodgers-Adams connection got the Jets to the tie against the Jaguars. But it was running back Breece Hall, who missed Week 14 with a knee injury and was originally questionable to play this week, who ran the ball into the end zone to score the Jets’ winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter. And to tie it all up with a bow, Sauce Gardner snagged an interception with 44 seconds left in the 4th to snuff out any chance the Jags had of making a last-minute comeback.

The New York Mets wanted Juan Soto to know his future with them could be set in stone.

When the free agent outfielder traveled to owner Steve Cohen’s house in Beverly Hills, California, for a presentation last month, the team unveiled a video that included an image of a future Soto statue outside Citi Field, next to the one erected of franchise great Tom Seaver.

“Everything that they showed me, what they have, what they want to do, it was incredible,” Soto said. “But my favorite part was the video.”

Juan Soto was introduced at Citi Field after his record $765 million, 15-year contract was finalized. He was flanked by Mets owner Steve Cohen, president of baseball operations David Stearns and agent Scott Boras. 

Cohen purchased the Mets ahead of the 2021 season and has boosted them to baseball’s highest payroll in search of the team’s first title since 1986.

The value of Soto’s contract eclipsed Shohei Ohtani’s $700 million, 10-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers last December. The 26-year-old Soto batted .288 with 41 homers, 109 RBIs and 129 walks this year and has a .285 career average with 201 homers, 592 RBIs and 769 walks over seven seasons with Washington, San Diego and the Yankees.

Soto’s success will be determined by World Series titles. The Yankees have 27, the Mets two.

“It’s such a big city, right? There’s plenty of room for both of us,” Cohen said.

The Giants dropped their eighth straight game on Sunday, losing to the New Orleans Saints, 14-11.

With 11 seconds left and trailing 14-11, Giants kicker Graham Gano lined up for a 35-yard field goal that would force overtime. But Saints defensive lineman Bryan Bresee had other ideas.

Bresee made a sensational play, jumping over the line to block Gano’s field goal and secure the Saints’ win.

The Saints improve their record to 5-8, while the Giants fall to 2-11.

It was not a well-played game by either offense. Giants quarterback Drew Lock completed just 21 of his 49 passes, while Derek Carr was only slightly better, going 20-for-31 for 219 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. 

But it was another win for the Saints, who are now 3-1 under interim head coach Darren Rizzi after a 2-7 start got head coach Dennis Allen fired.

The next coach fired may be Brian Daboll, whose Giants have nothing left to play for except the first pick in the draft.

The New York Jets blew an eight-point, fourth-quarter lead and lost 32-26 in overtime to the Miami Dolphins.

Minutes after the New York Giants lost to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at MetLife on a blocked field goal. Their co-tenants at the New Jersey venue, the New York Jets, matched them with a brutal loss of their own to the Miami Dolphins in South Beach.

Jason Sanders kicked a 52-yard field goal as time expired to tie the game and Tua Tagovailoa drove the Miami Dolphins to the winning touchdown in overtime of a 32-26 victory.

The winning score came on a TD pass of 10 yards from Tagovailoa to Jonnu Smith. The tight end had all three of his catches in overtime.

Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets are officially out of the playoffs.

Greg Norman, aka the Great White Shark of pro golf, is selling his Jupiter Island beach home for a whopping $59,900,000.

Norman purchased the property for only $4.9 million in 1991. Since then, the property has expanded by nearly 6,800 square feet.

In total, the estate sits on an eight acre lot. It includes eight houses in total — the main house, a coach house, a pool house, a tennis house, a boat house, a carriage house and a beach house — plus a 5,000-square-foot basement.

The main house has 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, with oceanfront views and complete privacy. It includes a US Open regulation-size tennis court, a fitness center, a movie theater, an elevator, two main pools, a spa, a 1,900-bottle wine cellar, a bar and a gourmet kitchen.

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan hinted at possibly serving a role in President-elect Donald Trump‘s cabinet during an appearance on FOX News.

“You know something, you’d be great to run the President’s Council on Physical Fitness,” Trump told Hogan backstage at Madison Square Garden during Trump’s sold out rally.

“I was talking about nutrition and how many foreign countries won’t even let their people eat the food that we eat here in America,” Hogan said.

“It’s so bad and it’s poisoned a generation of kids,’ he added. “And at the end of the day, we started talking about physical fitness.”

Hogan claimed Trump suggested he’d be a great fit for the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.

“And it would be great if you got all the kids in America in shape,” Hogan said.

The Jets continue to find new ways to lose.

On Sunday, the Jets blew a 14-point lead and fell 26-21 to the Seahawks for their third straight loss and eighth in nine games.

This came despite the Seahawks making plenty of special teams  mistakes and getting stopped at the goal line. The Jets are now 3-9, ensuring their ninth-straight losing season.

The Jets had a chance to retake the lead in the closing minutes but Aaron Rodgers’ pass from the Seattle 34 intended for Garrett Wilson fell incomplete in the end zone and the Jets had another loss.

Former Jets quarterback Geno Smith was not spectacular but threw a touchdown pass and led the Seahawks back from a 21-7 deficit. Another former Jet, Leonard Williams, had two sacks, a pick-six and a blocked extra point.

Both teams kept making mistakes to give the other a chance to win. The Jets committed 12 penalties, including a huge offensive pass interference on Davante Adams that wiped out a 41-yard pass in the fourth quarter.

A 15.1-carat fancy vivid blue diamond is projected to be auctioned for a whopping $48 million — the highest estimate ever for a blue diamond.

The gemstone — known as the De Beers Cullinan Blue — will be the largest fancy vivid blue diamond to appear in an auction when it is offered up at Sotheby’s Hong Kong.

The jewel was first discovered in April 2021 at the South African Cullinan mine, which, according to Sotheby’s, is one of the very few places in the world to discover rare blue gems.

“Blue diamonds of any kind are rare on the market, but this is the rarest of the rare; nothing of remotely similar caliber has appeared at auction in recent years,” said Chairman of Sotheby’s Asia Patti Wong.

The chunk of stone was originally cut from a 39.34-carat rough piece from the mine, which was purchased from De Beers in 2008.

The mine is also the source of the largest rough gem diamond ever discovered. In 1905, the hefty 3,106 carat rock was cut to create two of the British Crown Jewels.

It took six tries and nearly three months of the season, but for the first time in 2024, the Dallas Cowboys are winners at home.

Dallas flustered and frustrated New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock in a 27-20 win.

The win was a second straight for the Cowboys in a season marked by disappointment. It was the first win at home after going 0-5 at AT&T Stadium. It comes against a Giants team (2-10) that’s in the midst of a worse season than the Cowboys.

Lock got his first start on Thursday since signing with the Giants in the offseason. It did not go well.

The Cowboys sacked Lock six times. They forced one interception and a forced fumble. Lock finished the day completing 21 of 32 passes for 178 yards with no passing touchdowns and the pick-6.

On offense, the Cowboys controlled the game on the ground and got 112 yards and a touchdown from Rico Dowdle. Cooper Rush completed 21 of 36 passes for 195 yards with a touchdown and no turnovers.

The Giants’ season goes from bad to worse with the loss. Lock is New York’s third quarterback to start this season after the benching and release of Daniel Jones. Tommy DeVito started last week in a blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Neither provide hope of making the Giants competitive. New York’s 2-10 record is the worst in the NFL.

Aaron Judge won his second career American League MVP award.

The New York Yankees star was voted the unanimous winner by the 30-person BBWAA voting body, his first time receiving every first-place vote.

The voting was also unanimous for second place, with Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals sweeping the second-place votes. Judge’s teammate Juan Soto, Gunnar Henderson of the Baltimore Orioles and José Ramírez of the Cleveland Guardians all received third-place votes.

Judge joins Mickey Mantle (1956) as the only Yankees players to win MVP unanimously.

It was an extraordinary season for Judge, who posted career highs in all three slash line numbers at .322/.458/.701 while clubbing 58 home runs, four short of his AL season record and what many consider to be the clean record.

Los Angeles Dodger Shohei Ohtani won the National League MVP award, garnering all 30 first-place votes for a unanimous decision.
