Report: Jets owner decides that coach Saleh and GM Douglas will return next season

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:04:50 GMT

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas will continue to lead the team next season, as expected.Owner Woody Johnson told the New York Post on Sunday that he will stand pat with the team’s football leadership, even after a dismal season that resulted in a 13th straight year for the franchise without a playoff appearance — the longest active drought in major North American professional sports.“My decision is to keep them,” Johnson told the newspaper before the Jets’ game against the Washington Commanders. “I think we’ve had some very positive moves. The culture of the team is a lot better. The defense is better. The offense needs a few pieces.”Johnson acknowledged the return next season of quarterback Aaron Rodgers is a factor in his decision. The 40-year-old Rodgers tore his left Achilles tendon four snaps into his debut with the Jets, who were eliminated from playoff contention with a 30-0 loss at Miami last Sunday.Ea...

Biden critica las disposiciones que le impiden cerrar Guantánamo y trasladar a los reos

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:04:50 GMT

El presidente Joe Biden promulgó el presupuesto en Defensa aprobado por el Congreso para el año fiscal 2024, pero criticó las disposiciones que le impiden cerrar la prisión de Guantánamo y trasladar a sus reos.El mandatario informó en un comunicado que firmó la ley con el nuevo presupuesto porque le permite al Pentágono contar con un ejército capaz de “disuadir conflictos futuros”.Sin embargo, Biden criticó que el texto “continúa prohibiendo el uso de fondos para transferir a los detenidos de la bahía de Guantánamo” a Estados Unidos o a otros países.El presidente remarcó que estas disposiciones “menoscaban indebidamente” la capacidad del Gobierno para determinar cuándo y dónde procesar a los detenidos en Guantánamo y adónde enviarlos una vez liberados.Incluso, remarcó que podría impedir el cumplimiento de una sentencia de un tribunal que ha ordenado la excarcelación de uno de los detenidos mediante un recurso de ‘habeas corpus’. “...

Eagles fans have long turned the page on snowball fiasco. ‘No one was trying to hurt Santa Claus’

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. You know what that means in Philadelphia: Santa and snowballs and a time of month that cursed Philly fans for almost six decades with a reputation that they are the most belligerent, boorish ones in all of sports.You’ve surely heard the annual Christmas tale before, of how fans near the end of one of the worst seasons in Eagles history dipped their fingers into snow at Franklin Field on a frigid December afternoon, cupped their hands and pelted poor ol’ Santa Claus with snowballs — long before anyone was beaten at Dodgers Stadium, or a Kansas City Royals coach was assaulted on the infield, or the “Malice at the Palace” occurred, or any of the other countless incidents of abominable behavior that surely would stain any other team’s fanbase — except they weren’t from Philly.The Eagles, only six years removed from an NFL championship, started 0-8 in 1968 under coach Joe Kuharich and seem poised to finish with the worst re...
