A surprising figure will assist the New York Jets in their search for a new coach and general manager, and fans are not necessarily thrilled with it. The Jets are retaining The 33rd Team, a media and technology organization that bills itself as a football think tank, to assist the organization in the search for a new coach and general manager. The interesting angle is that The 33rd Team is co-founded by longtime Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum . Jets are retaining The 33rd Team to support them on their upcoming general manager and head coaching searches. Former Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum and Vikings general manager Rick Spielman will lead the project for the NFL Technology and Media company. The 33rd Team... pic.twitter.com/NfRwDt39cA — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 25, 2024 Tannenbaum was a member of the Jets organization from 1997 to 2012, including a stint as GM from 2006 to 2012. The Jets went to two AFC Championship games during his tenure, but the ensuing collapse has not made him popular among Jets fans. His recent media career, and some of the takes he has put forward during it, have not exactly enhanced his reputation. Unsurprisingly, there was a great deal of skepticism toward giving Tannenbaum any role in the Jets’ process, with some joking that Tannenbaum might wind up trying to hire himself. The Jets saw this and said "Get Mike Tannenbaum on the phone" https://t.co/cajMd8FgbX — Ben Axelrod (@BenAxelrod) November 25, 2024 I wouldn’t let Mike Tannenbaum decide what I was having for lunch https://t.co/KLtSN2CyvW — Soapboxmox (@SoapBoxMox) November 25, 2024 This is why the Jets are perpetually bad. The leadership decisions are atrocious. FYi, our wonderful team owner, @woodyjohnson4 fired Mike Tannenbaum as a GM years ago for making poor football decisions...and now he's in charge of making the two most important football decisions. https://t.co/ALaxuMs6qe — Ladi Dadi (@Loki_013) November 25, 2024 Asking Mike Tannenbaum for advice on who should be your next head coach and GM should be enough reason to be forced to sell your franchise https://t.co/xVrvS2HeEy — Sweet Lou (@Louis_Ville) November 25, 2024 It is not clear how much of a hands-on role Tannenbaum will have with the search, and the Jets are under no obligation to act on his recommendations. Letting someone the team fired a decade ago have any say in the search process is not exactly cause for confidence, though. Maybe he will end up getting the old band back together . The Jets are in the hunt for a new GM after firing Joe Douglas earlier this month. Many Jets fans hold ownership responsible for the current mess , though, and a move like this will only reinforce those perceptions.

Posted by Abdirisaq Shino The nomination had faced significant headwinds, with resistance coming even from within Republican ranks. Gaetz, who recently resigned his position as a congressman following Trump’s nomination Just one week after his nomination by President-elect Donald Trump, Republican Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name from consideration for U.S. Attorney General, citing the need to avoid “unnecessarily protracted” political battles in Washington. “Trump’s attorney general must be ready and made on day one,” Gaetz wrote on X, formerly Twitter, announcing his withdrawal from consideration for the nation’s top law enforcement position. The nomination had faced significant headwinds, with resistance coming even from within Republican ranks. Gaetz, who recently resigned his position as a congressman following Trump’s nomination, has been a controversial figure in Washington politics, perhaps most notably for his role in orchestrating the removal of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy last year. The former congressman’s brief candidacy was overshadowed by past allegations of misconduct. While never formally charged, Gaetz faced investigations into alleged sex crimes and drug offenses. According to reports from The New York Times and Washington Post, investigators explored claims that Gaetz had paid thousands of dollars for sex and allegedly offered gifts to underage girls and escorts. Gaetz has consistently denied all allegations. First elected to the House of Representatives in 2016 and recently re-elected, Gaetz had established himself as a prominent figure in Trump’s political circle. His withdrawal now leaves a significant vacancy in Trump’s prospective cabinet, with no immediate replacement named. The development marks another setback in Trump’s transition planning, as the president-elect seeks to build his administration amid various challenges. The search for a new attorney general nominee is expected to begin immediately, given Gaetz’s emphasis on the need for day-one readiness in the role.
BAKU, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- Climate negotiators are striving to reach an agreement on new climate funding in a UN climate conference scheduled to close on Friday. A key task of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) is to determine a new target of financial contributions that developed nations should make to support developing countries in addressing climate change after 2025. According to climate negotiators, the task remains challenging as a new draft of the negotiating text released early Thursday showed no consensus on a specific climate funding target and a divergence of perspectives among the Parties. "We need a figure as a headline to really determine whether we're ... making progress," said Adonia Ayebare, chair of the G77+China group of developing nations at a plenary session Thursday. In 2009, developed countries agreed to mobilize 100 billion U.S. dollars annually by 2020 to support climate action in developing countries, and the goal was later extended to 2025. At COP29, a target of mobilizing and providing at least 500 billion dollars by developed countries annually was proposed, but the developed nations have not responded, according to Ayebare. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for a "major push" in climate negotiations as the conference draws to a close, emphasizing the need for a "surge in finance." In the draft climate agreement, two options were offered, reflecting the overall positions of developing countries and developed countries. One stated that the funds should take the form of grants or grant equivalents, excluding contributions between developing countries. The other, reflecting the stance of wealthier nations, sought to expand the types of finance eligible for the annual goal, incorporating more than just grants from developed countries and including contributions from other sources. Ayebare noted "a lack of differentiation" in the draft agreement, referring to the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities formalized in the climate change convention since 1992. "Developed countries having historically contributed the most to the greenhouse emissions must take the lead in reducing emissions and provide financial and technological support to developing countries," he said. "The time for political games is over," said Cedric Schuster, the Samoan chairman of the Alliance of Small Island States, a group of nations at threat from rising seas. Schuster noted that the texts showed a "clear shifting of the burden to these least capacitated, least responsible and most ambitious." Panama's lead negotiator, Juan Carlos Monterrey, said during the plenary session that developed countries' lack of commitment and transparency feels like "a slap in the face to the most vulnerable." "Developed countries must stop playing games with our life and put a serious, quantified financial proposal on the table," he said.As the holidays approach, there’s no better time to celebrate the magic of giving than by choosing gifts that come from the heart—and from our own South Shore community!
