EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — This is the type of loss that costs people their jobs. The Indianapolis Colts were supposed to be the vastly superior team Sunday at MetLife Stadium when they faced the lowly New York Giants, losers of 10 straight games. Instead, well, put it this way: One team entered the day 0-8 at home this season. The other entered the day knowing a win would keep its playoff hopes alive. If you watched Sunday, you couldn’t tell which team was which. Advertisement A pathetic performance by the Colts resulted in an inexplicable 45-33 loss that, at this point, isn’t inexplicable at all. The Colts simply don’t win big games. Not anymore, anyway. They proved that again Sunday in a disastrous outing that will keep them out of the playoffs for the fourth straight year. After the game, Colts players struggled to describe their sense of déjà vu following their latest pitfall as the franchise continues to search for answers it can never seem to find. Meanwhile, coach Shane Steichen was asked if he’s worried about his job security following, undoubtedly, the most embarrassing loss of his two-year tenure. “I control what I can control,” he responded. But what he was supposed to control Sunday — having his team prepared for an extremely winnable game against an opponent in contention for the No. 1 pick in the draft — ended in a silent visiting locker room filled with utter disappointment. The players can’t duck the blame, either, as their season-long inability to play complementary football came to a head in the worst way. Let’s start with the play that ultimately buried the Colts’ playoff hopes. After climbing back from a 21-6 deficit and cutting the Giants’ lead to 28-26 with 8:50 left in the game, New York QB Drew Lock threw a short pass to Malik Nabers in the flat. The play should’ve gone for about a 6- or 7-yard gain, but Colts cornerbacks Sam Womack III and Kenny Moore II whiffed on their tackles, linebacker Zaire Franklin took a bad angle in his pursuit, and Nabers made them all pay. Once the star rookie saw a bit of daylight, he turned on the jets and raced down the sideline for a 59-yard score, the longest of his career. LEEEEK 59-yard TD 📺: FOX pic.twitter.com/TLYk5pUqdX — New York Giants (@Giants) December 29, 2024 “I looked back for the ball, and it was too late,” Moore said. “He had already caught the ball, and we just misjudged the play. On the field, it doesn’t really matter who makes a play. You just gotta shoot your shot, and it was just some hesitation there, and we didn’t execute that play well enough.” Advertisement That’s been a theme through the Colts’ season, and it was certainly the case against the Giants. Lock had started 26 games in his career entering Sunday’s contest, but none of them went nearly as well as his 27th start. The 2019 second-round pick produced a career-high five total touchdowns and finished with a 155.3 passer rating, 3 points shy of being perfect. Lock had more touchdown passes in the first half (three) than incompletions (one). After the Colts cut the Giants’ lead to two points again with 6:38 left in the game following Joe Flacco’s 7-yard TD pass to Michael Pittman Jr., they needed a defensive stop and a field goal to take the lead and potentially steal a victory. But Indianapolis’ defense crumbled on the ensuing drive, allowing Lock to lead a nine-play, 70-yard TD drive capped by his 5-yard scramble into the end zone. Drew Lock runs it in 📺: FOX pic.twitter.com/5m2v3z0zWd — New York Giants (@Giants) December 29, 2024 Asked if he was “misguided” to bring retain and stick by defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, whose defense has been porous for most of the season, Steichen dismissed the idea. “I love Gus,” Steichen said. “Obviously, (Sunday), we’d all love to be better.” Franklin, who entered Sunday as the NFL’s leading tackler, didn’t point fingers and didn’t mince words after his team gave up a season-high 45 points, more than the Giants had scored in their previous three weeks combined. The Giants’ 45 points were also the most they’ve scored in any game in nearly a decade. “It’s embarrassing. It’s disappointing. We got just flat-out beat,” said Franklin, who acknowledged that he missed several tackles Sunday. “The performance that we put out defensively, beyond unacceptable. And you can’t play like that if you plan on being a playoff team. “We ain’t a playoff team.” #Colts Week 17 recap: • Indy will miss the playoffs — again • Defense gives Drew Lock a career day • What exactly is this team’s “standard?” • Big questions coming for Chris Ballard, Shane Steichen, Anthony Richardson, etc. More @TheAthleticNFL —> https://t.co/SJEkvAZG0j pic.twitter.com/RmRbH32jTI — James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) December 29, 2024 Sunday’s loss was reminiscent of the Colts’ 2021 collapse, when all they needed to do was beat the 2-14 Jaguars in their regular-season finale to punch their ticket to the postseason. Instead, Indianapolis left Duval County with a season-ending 26-11 loss. Asked why his team can’t seem to get over the hump, including last year’s win-and-in game against the Texans and this year’s loss at Denver in Week 16, Pittman was mostly speechless. Advertisement “That’s a complex question that I don’t really have a direct answer for,” Pittman said. Jonathan Taylor suggested that “details” are what separate playoff teams from the teams who are sent home. And while the star running back scored two touchdowns Sunday and notched his seventh 100-yard rushing game of the season, it’s the details that once again plagued him, too. Two weeks after mindlessly dropping the ball just before he crossed the goal line for a 41-yard TD, Taylor once again failed to pick up the final yard when his team needed it most. Facing third-and-1 from the Giants’ 23-yard line with just under nine minutes left in the third quarter, Taylor took a pitch to the left and had a chance to turn upfield for a first down. However, he stepped out of bounds before gaining the necessary yard for a first down, and on the ensuing play, he curiously jumped in the air and was drilled before he could move the chains. The Colts turned it over on downs. “Situations like that, you just gotta find a way to make it, whether you think you got it or not,” Taylor said. “You gotta make sure that the officials think you made it.” In a roundabout way, Taylor’s explanation of those back-to-back runs for no gain also represents a team that’s seen no gain. For years, Indianapolis has largely been stuck in neutral and has provided no reason to believe anything will change. No member of the Colts should feel good or safe after their embarrassing loss Sunday. Not the players, who speak of a standard they can never seem to meet. Not Steichen, whose team will end the regular season with just one victory against a team with a winning record. And not general manager Chris Ballard, who is now 61-69-1 during his eight-year tenure with just two playoff appearances, one playoff win zero AFC South titles and way too many of these games on his résumé.

In conclusion, the fall of the Assad regime in 12 days was a result of a confluence of internal and external factors that ultimately proved insurmountable. It serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of authoritarian rule and the power of popular uprisings and international pressure in bringing about political change. The events in Syria should serve as a wake-up call for oppressive regimes worldwide and a rallying cry for democracy and human rights advocates everywhere.

Friends and family of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson remembered the 50-year-old father of two as he was laid to rest during a private funeral service in Maple Grove, Minnesota on Monday, the same day that the arrest of his alleged assassin drew the nation's attention. As Luigi Mangione was being detained in Pennsylvania amid an outpouring of online support for the suspected killer, those close to Thompson quietly mourned his loss at a Lutheran church in his Minnesota hometown. Thompson was fatally shot outside a Hilton hotel in midtown Manhattan as he was on his way to an investor conference the morning of December 4. Despite the shock of the brazen public execution, his death has spurred widespread anger at the health insurance industry and its top officials, with many even defending the gunman as a folk hero who was justified in his violence. But those who were close to Thompson during his life say the picture being painted of the 50-year-old husband and father does not reflect the man they knew. Matt Burns, a former colleague at UnitedHealthcare, told Newsweek that while he wasn't Thompson's closest friend or colleague, "I, like many, was lucky to know him because he had a unique way of expressing how much he valued and appreciated those around him in a way that was authentic and personal." Burns described Thompson, who colleagues knew as "BT," as "whip-smart and affable," a man "who could grasp the complexities of health care and explain them in simple, relatable terms true to his Iowa upbringing." "In his plainspokenness, he wasn't shy about using four-letter words nor did he suffer fools lightly, sizing up people quickly," Burns said. "He commanded respect and advanced without sharp elbows common in corporate settings. I have little doubt that eventually he would have ascended to the top role at UnitedHealth Group had his life not ended so tragically." Thompson grew up in a working-class family in Jewell, Idaho, where friends remember him as a farm kid who was well-liked by everyone. His mother was a beautician and his father was employed at a local grain elevator, according to an obituary . The elder Thompson passed away last year at 75. "He was one of the smartest kids, if not the smartest, and I would say the smartest person I've ever known," Taylor Hill, a close friend of Thompson's from childhood, told the Des Moines Register . "He was probably smarter than half our teachers. And the thing with our teachers is they knew it, too." Hill recalled him and Thompson being inseparable while growing up in rural Idaho, where they both graduated from South Hamilton High School in 1993. In a statement released last week, the school remembered Thompson as his class valedictorian, "a star student, athlete, homecoming king, and a respected leader." "The fact that he came from small town Iowa and still was able to achieve what he achieved, that says a lot about his drive," Todd Coy, the principal of South Hamilton Middle and High School, told KKCI, a local television station in Des Moines. "If you would look at his '93 classmates, they would all tell you that they knew he was going to strive to be something big," Coy said. "Being a CEO of a large health insurance company does not surprise any of them." Thompson would go onto attend the University of Iowa, where he met his wife, Paulette. He graduated with a degree in business administration in 1997 near the top of his class. The couple had two children together and settled in Maple Grove, a leafy suburb of Minneapolis near where UnitedHealth is based. According to colleagues who spoke to the New York Times , Thompson kept a low profile at home and was down-to-earth and funny in his personal life. He went to his sons' soccer games and liked to take them out on the golf course. "Brian was an incredibly loving husband, son, brother and friend," Thompson's family said in a statement after his death. "Most importantly, Brian was a devoted father to our two sons, and we will miss him for the rest of our lives. We appreciate the overwhelming outpouring of kind words and support we have received." Thompson joined UnitedHealth Group in 2004. After two decades rising through the ranks, he was named chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, the conglomerate's insurance division, in 2021. "His star ascended rapidly and yet I don't recall him forgetting those he worked with in the trenches along the way," Burns told Newsweek . "He toggled between his leadership role and relatable Joe as effectively and easily as anyone I've encountered professionally." Under his leadership, the company's profits rose to more than $16 billion last year from $12 billion in 2021. During that time, the company was also accused of systematically denying claims, and Thompson was named in a class-action lawsuit filed earlier this year that accused him and other executives of dumping stock before the Department of Justice announced an antitrust investigation into UnitedHealth Group. Newsweek reached out to UnitedHealth via email for comment. Betuchy Galeano, a Florida-based UnitedHealth employee, called Thompson "a truly remarkable person" who was "so humble, kind, cheerful, and full of life" in a Facebook post remembering her colleague. "BT was always fighting for the employees and members, making sure everyone understood the importance of compassion and appreciation," Victoria Claire, a medical coder in Wisconsin, also wrote. "Rest peacefully, BT, you will be missed." In a post on X, formerly Twitter , disability rights activist and former educator Timothy Shriver wrote, "Brian Thompson was a friend, an ally, and a believer in the power and importance of the athletes of Special Olympics . His sudden and horrifying death has left all of us in Special Olympics in shock and heartbreak. We will hold his spirit as we run our races for justice and joy and pray for his rest."Bills defense out to prove against high-scoring Lions that it's better than its dud vs. RamsAs the footballing world grapples with the fallout from this incident, it serves as a stark reminder of the importance of upholding the values of fairness, respect, and integrity in the beautiful game.

(AP) — Officials say two Oregon men have died in a Washington state forest after they failed to return from a trip to look for Sasquatch.

The sheriff's office says it based that conclusion on the weather and their lack of preparedness. Both men were from Portland. They were found in a heavily wooded area of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest northeast of that city. Family reported them missing after they failed to return from a Christmas Eve outing. Sasquatch is a folkloric beast thought by some to roam the forests, particularly in the Pacific Northwest.
