Saints QB situation remains cloudy as matchup with Washington nears

Black Friday, November 29, has passed, but that doesn't mean it's too late to score the best deals of 2024. I've worked through numerous Black Fridays over the years, and my experience has always been the same: about half of the deals end on Black Friday at midnight, and the other half will stay live through the weekend and end on Cyber Monday (which lands on December 2). I have seen some amazing deals this year and at this point many are still available. I can promise you there will not be a shortage of incredible deals from now until December 2. In terms of deal quality, Black Friday 2024 has shaped up to be a golden year across several categories and expect this gravy train to continue into Cyber Monday. There are better-than-expected discounts on gaming consoles like the PlayStation 5 , Nintendo Switch , Meta Quest 3S , and Steam Deck, several Apple iPads , AirPods , and Apple Watches, including new 2024 models, rarely discounted video games (including top-shelf Switch games priced well under $40), powerful gaming PCs and laptops, and much, much more. Whether you're hunting down a specific deal, or casually perusing the top 100 Black Friday deals so far, I've got you covered. TL;DR - Best Black Friday Deals Meta Quest 3S (Free $75 Amazon Credit) - $299 Meta Quest 3 (Free $75 Amazon Credit) - $499 Nintendo Switch OLED Holiday Bundle - $274.99 Nintendo Switch Holiday Bundle - $224.99 PS5 Cobalt Star Disc Bundle - $424.99 PS5 NBA 2K25 Digital Bundle - $374.99 Hulu for $0.99/mo for 12 Months Apple AirPods Pro - $153.99 JLabs JBuds Lux Noise Cancelling Headphones - $29 The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - $30 Star Wars Outlaws - $39.99 The Best Black Friday VR Headset Deal At $299.99, the Meta Quest 3S was inarguably the best value out there in the world of VR gaming, but the deal's even better. Both Amazon and Target are including freebies: Amazon shoppers get a bonus $75 in Amazon digital credit , and Target shoppers get a bonus $75 Target gift card . The Quest 3S also includes the Batman: Arkham Shadow VR game. What really sets this deal above all other VR deals (like the PlayStation VR2 ) is that the Meta Quest 3S can be played completely untethered. That means you can play games like Beat Saber or Pistol Whip without having to own a powerful gaming PC or a PlayStation 5 console. Try to find another standalone VR headset at this price and you'll come up empty. The Other Best Black Friday VR Headset Deal Deep into Black Friday, Amazon has finally offered a pretty sweet deal on a Meta Quest 3 512GB VR headset. You can get it for the current retail price of $499.99, however Amazon is throwing in a bonus $75 in Amazon digital credit. Reminder that it was less than two months go that Meta dropped the official retail price from $649.99 to $499.99. The Meta Quest 3 is the best standalone consumer-oriented VR headset you can get right now. The Quest 3S has very similar internals, and the same Touch controllers, but with downgraded optics. That's more significant than it reads on paper. How much enjoyment you get from VR headset is largely determined by the visual quality of the display.. If the image that you see is blurry, or distorted, it takes you out of the immersion. Sony released its entire set of Black Friday PlayStation deals last week and most major retailers have followed suit. The best deal is definitely on the consoles themselves and not the accessories: The PS5 Slim Disc Edition has dropped to $424.99 (originally $500) and the PS5 Slim Digital Edition has dropped to $374.99 (originally $450). I would choose the Disc Edition because it's only $50 more and then I have the option to buy (and later sell or trade) physical disc media. But if you want to save some money and go the Digital Edition route, I would suggest getting the NBA 2K25 bundle (see below), which also includes a game. Although the Fortnite Cobalt Star bundle has a fancy-looking box, no actual game is included. More PlayStation Black Friday Deals Star Wars: Outlaws was released only three months ago and it's already 33% off for Black Friday. Maybe Ubisoft is trying to boost sales after a lackluster launch , but that means you get to enjoy a AAA title at a great discount. IGN's Tristan Ogilvie gave it a 7/10 review, which is still good, but I've beaten the game and immensely enjoyed it, so I would have given it an 8. It definitely has an "Assassin's Creed game in a Star Wars skin" vibe, and there's nothing wrong with that. More Black Friday Video Game Deals for PS5/Xbox Compared to the PS5 and Xbox Series X, the Nintendo Switch console has the best discount for Black Friday. The early holiday bundles, which were released back in October, included your choice of the Switch or Switch OLED , a digital download voucher for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe , and a 12-month Switch Online membership. I thought that this was going to be the official Black Friday deal. Alas, Target ( but not Amazon, due to its supposedly shaky relationship with Nintendo ) has just knocked another $75 off the price tag. That means you can pick up a Switch bundle for as low as $225. I have both models and, if I were to buy a third, it would be the Switch OLED. The screen is that much better. More Nintendo Switch Black Friday Deals For the moment, Walmart is the only retailer offering Tears of the Kingdom for $30. IGN gave it a 10/10 "Masterpiece" rating and I would have to agree. Tom Marks wrote that "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an unfathomable follow-up, expanding a world that already felt full beyond expectation and raising the bar ever higher into the clouds." I wouldn't wait too long to get this deal; Walmart is already sold out of physical copies. More Black Friday Video Game Deals for Nintendo Switch The least expensive adjustable dumbells Bowflex isn't the only option when it comes to adjustable dumbbell sets, especially on Black Friday. FitRX is another popular brand at a much, much lower price point. As part of the Walmart Black Friday Sale , you can pick up a pair of FitRx Adjustable Dumbbells for only $139.97. A comparable set of Bowflex 551 adjustable dumbbells costs three times more . Walmart even offers free shipping, which is great since the package will weigh in at well over 100 pounds. The Best Black Friday Streaming Deal This Black Friday, Hulu is available for just $0.99/month for an entire year – down from $9.99/month, and at 90% off that's hard to beat. Similarly, the Disney+ bundle is being offered at $2.99/month for a year , down from $10.99/month, making these some of the best Black Friday streaming deals available. Don't miss out. Hulu stands out as one of the top streaming platforms today, yet it’s often underrated. With critically acclaimed movies like Anatomy of a Fall and Talk to Me , and standout, Emmy-winning TV series such as Shogun , Abbott Elementary , The Bear , and Only Murders in the Building , there’s always something exceptional to watch. The best Black Friday AirPods deal has arrived and it's better than I predicted . Amazon, Target, and Walmart have all dropped the price of the second-generation Apple AirPods Pro wireless noise-cancelling earbuds to $153.99. This discount brings the price down to the same level as the Apple AirPods 4 with noise cancellation . Between the two, the AirPods Pro is still Apple's best earbuds because it offers better sound quality and better noise cancellation performance. There are a lot of amazing iPad deals today, like the new iPad Mini for $399.99 or the iPad Pro M4 for $850 , but this is the best deal for most people. The standard iPad is the model I'd recommend; it offers snappy performance and the intuitive iOS interface at a low price. Tenth gen improvements over its predecessor include a larger 10.9" screen and a faster A14 Bionic chip, Magic Folio keyboard support so you can convert it into a mini laptop (making it one of the best iPads for students ), a USB Type-C port, better camera, and updated Wi-Fi 6 protocol. For anyone on a budget, this is the Apple Watch to get . The second generation Apple Watch SE starts at just $149 only at Amazon and Walmart . This is the best price we've ever seen for a brand-new Apple Watch with a warranty. Despite the affordable price tag, you actually don't lose out on much functionality if you opt for an Apple Watch SE. It's powered by the same S8 processor found in the Apple Watch Series 8 and the first-generation Apple Watch Ultra. It also features a bright and sharp OLED Retina display, IPX7 water resistance, fall detection, sleep tracking, Apple Pay, and nearly all the fitness tracking functionality including heart rate monitoring. More Apple Black Friday Deals Lots of interactive elements for a display-worthy set This popular LEGO Creator set rarely goes on sale. Today, LEGO Shop is offering the LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery 10283 set for $159.99, or a savings of 20%. You'll need to be a LEGO Insiders member, but signing up is free. This impressive set consists of 2,354 bricks, which averages out to about 6.7 cents per brick. As its namesake suggests, this is a replica of the Space Shuttle Discovery, with a center compartment that opens up and houses a separate Hubble telescope, which can be deployed with a robot arm. It looks amazing as a display, but it's also very interactive. Up to 50% Off These Smart Glasses There's a very intriguing – if a bit controversial – deal going on that you might want to check out for yourself. Both Amazon and Target are offering a 20% discount off the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Smart Glasses , with prices starting at $239.20. That's the same deal you'll find at other retailers, however Amazon and Target are throwing in additional freebies: either $90 in Amazon digital credit or a $90 Target gift card. The Meta Wayfarer glasses are an influencer's dream, and that's exactly what they're designed for: social media. They're surprisingly slim and lightweight for glasses equipped with an integrated 12MP video camera and speaker. You can use them to take quick snapshots or up to 60 second videos that you can then upload to your social media of choice. You can even livestream 30 second videos in 720p. Includes One-Time $20 Audible Credit See deal in the UK - £0.99/month for three months (was £7.99) From now until December 31, non-current Audible subscribers are eligible for three months of Audible Premium Plus for $0.99 per month and a bonus one-time $20 Audible credit. Premium Plus is Audible's best plan and three months would normally cost you about $44.95. You also get a free audiobook of your choice each month that you get to keep indefinitely. Audible is a subscription service that gives you access to hundreds of thousands of the best audiobooks without ever having to purchase them. Premium Plus is Audible's highest tier plan and it gives you access to a whopping 500,000 audiobooks. These include all-time classics like Frank Herbert's Dune , Harry Potter, Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire), The Witcher , The Sandman Series, and The Lord of the Rings . Where Are the Xbox Deals? Xbox gamers might be wondering why I haven't listed Xbox consoles. Unfortunately, Microsoft seems to have taken a step back and decided not to host any outstanding console deals for Black Friday. All of the consoles are marked down by $50, but these deals aren't exceptional. If you're already an Xbox owner, however, and are looking for discounts on peripherals, there are two great deals to consider. The WD Black C50 Storage Expansion Card is down to $99.99 from $150. Also, Xbox wireless controllers are down to as low as $39.99. Even better, the limited edition Ghost Cipher and Sky Cipher controllers are both on sale for just $45 each. One of the best gaming PC deals to come out of the Alienware Black Friday Sale is this Alienware Aurora R16 configuration for $1,499.99. It's the least expensive desktop computer equipped with an RTX 4070 Ti Super GPU. The rest of the specs are up to snuff as well, like an Intel Core i7-14700 CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The RTX 4070 Ti Super GPU is good enough to run even the newest games at up to 4K resolution (in fact, it's the least expensive GPU that I'd recommend for high-framerate 4K gaming), although I'd say that 1440p is its sweet spot. More Black Friday Gaming PC Deals The Walmart Black Friday Sale brings with it this excellent gaming laptop deal. Walmart is offering a Lenovo LOQ RTX 4070 gaming laptop for only $879.99. Yes, you read that right. The LOQ is Lenovo's lineup of budget-oriented gaming laptops. This system features a 15" 1080p display, a low-voltage AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The RTX 4070 GPU is a fully powered (115W TGP) model, not a throttled one like on some other budget laptops. Despite its low cost, this laptop will perform almost as well as the best RTX 4070 gaming laptops. You should be able to play any game comfortably on the 1080p display. More Black Friday Gaming Laptop Deals Perhaps the best Black Friday deal on a high-end gaming monitor has arrived. Amazon is offering the massive 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Dual 4K UHD gaming monitor at the exclusive price of $1,499.99. That's $100 less than everyone else's gaming monitor Black Friday deal and nearly 50% off the retail price. Keep in mind that there is no other monitor to compare it with. If you're looking for the biggest and sharpest super ultra-wide gaming monitor on the planet, this would be it right here. Just make sure that your GPU is up to snuff. Alienware just sweetened the deal on its best gaming monitor for Black Friday Sale. Right now, the 32" Alienware AW3225QF 32" 4K QD OLED gaming monitor is down to $899.99. That's the lowest price I've seen all year long. However for Black Friday only, Alienware just tossed in a bonus $100 Dell promotional e-gift card with your purchase. The Alienware AW3225QF was released earlier this year and is actually Dell's one and only monitor that combines a 4K resolution with an OLED panel. More Black Friday Gaming Monitor Deals Best Buy is the only retailer to drop the price on the new Asus ROG Ally X so far for Black Friday. Right now you can get it for $699.99 after a $100 instant discount. In our Asus ROG Ally X review , gaming guru Jacqueline Thomas wrote that "the Asus ROG Ally X is simply the best handheld gaming PC on the market right now. With more and faster memory and double the battery as the original Ally, the Ally X will run any modern game without dying in an hour and a half." More Black Friday PC Gaming Deals Black Friday TV Deals These JLabs JBuds Lux are an incredible value. First of all, they feature both wireless connectivity and noise cancellation for under $30. Better yet, unlike virtually all other headphones at this price point, they're actually very good! SoundGuys recently reviewed the JLabs JBuds Lux and gave it an absolutely glowing review, mentioning that they were one of the best headphones under $100. SoundGuys considered them an extremely good value at their retail price of $79 . Imagine their opinion at the current $29 price point. More Black Friday Headphone Deals You can pick up a copy of Azul for only $20 for Black Friday. Many board games are about mystery or war, but Azul is totally different. Players in Azul compete to design the most beautiful tiled mosaics they can. In our Azul review , Matt Thrower writes, "Between its beautiful presentation, simplicity and depth there’s little doubt that Azul has earned its place as a modern classic. While the tinkering with its formula undertaken by its sequels has created more challenging games, none has captured the fine blend of accessibility and interactivity that makes it special." More Black Friday Board Games The Coolest Toy for Gamers One deal you might have missed is this really awesome MEGA Microsoft Xbox 360 Collector Building Set . It's normally $150 but there's a 50% discount for Black Friday that drops it to only $74.99. The MEGA Microsoft Xbox 360 Collector Building Set is a buildable 3:4 scale replica of the Xbox 360 console with a brick count total of 1,342 pieces (5.5 cents per brick). The details in this build are, frankly, incredible, and include interactive elements, lighting effects, and the coolest accessories. This is such an interesting product that I wrote up a dedicated Black Friday article just for this deal . iFixit might be a familiar brand name for you from all of the helpful teardown videos of various electronics that've hosted on YouTube. Well, they also sell an extremely practical and high quality toolkit that helps you do the same. Amazon is offering the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit for electronics, smartphones, gaming consoles, PCs and laptops, and tablets for only $59.96. It normally retails for $75 and we've only seen a price drop only once this year back in May. This is one of the very best tool kits you can buy for disassembling and repairing your electronics -- including your Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck -- without spending hundreds of dollars on a commercial kit. More Random Black Friday Deals Amazon, Target, Walmart, and Best Buy are all one-stop shopping sites, so it makes sense that their Black Friday sales extend beyond gaming and tech. Here are the best deals I've seen so far on small kitchen appliances, personal care products like hair dryers and toothbrushes , vacuum cleaners , and other convenient necessities that everyone – gamers included – might find useful. On a personal note, although air fryers are all the rage these days, I bought my Instant Pot pressure cooker over 10 years ago and I still use it weekly. My air fryer sits in the cabinet. If you prefer to shop by retailer, we've written up Black Friday Deals roundups for each of the major retailers: Amazon, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and Gamestop.

In my experience, many of the same deals we saw on Black Friday will return for Cyber Monday 2024 , including deals that were sold out or expired. Retailers usually release their hottest selling items in batches so that every sale event has at least some inventory reserved. That said, I also expect plenty of new, never before seen deals. Traditionally, Black Friday was known as the "retail holiday," where the best deals were found in-store, and Cyber Monday was known as the "online holiday," where the best deals were online only. Although today the lines have blurred, it is still true that many online only retailers still consider Cyber Monday the sale event of the year instead of Black Friday . Expect some amazing sales to come out of online-only sites like Amazon, Newegg, Dell, HP, Lenovo and several online-only deals from traditional retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. In fact, Amazon has taken the preemptive and already switched over to Cyber Monday. Eric Song is the IGN commerce manager in charge of finding the best gaming and tech deals every day.

METAIRIE, La. (AP) — If Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi has any definite ideas about who'll play quarterback for New Orleans against Washington on Sunday, he's not ready to share that information. Rizzi maintained on Wednesday that there's still a chance that Derek Carr could clear the concussion protocol and function well enough with his injured, non-throwing left hand to return against the Commanders. Meanwhile, reserve QBs Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler split first-team snaps during Wednesday's practice, which Carr missed, Rizzi said. “We're not going to name a starter right now,” said Rizzi, who also made a point of noting that Carr would not be placed on the club's injured reserve list and would not need surgery. “We're going to see how that progression plays out, first with Derek and then obviously with Jake and Spencer.” Carr, whose latest injury occurred when he tried to dive for a first down during Sunday's 14-11 victory over the New York Giants , has already missed three starts this season because of a separate, oblique injury. New Orleans lost all three of those games, with Rattler, a rookie, starting and Haener, a second-year pro, serving as the backup. In his three starts, Rattler completed 59 of 99 passes (59.6%) for 571 yards, one TD and two interceptions. Haener has gotten sporadic work this season in relief of both Carr and Rattler, completing 14 of 29 passes (48.3%) for 177 yards and one TD without an interception. Rizzi said he finds the 6-foot-1 Haener and 6-foot Rattler “very similar in a lot of ways," adding that whichever of those two might play “doesn't change a whole bunch" in terms of game-planning. “They're both similar-size guys. Their athletic ability is very similar,” Rizzi said. “They're similar-style quarterbacks. We're not dealing with opposites on the spectrum.” The Saints also signed another QB this week — Ben DiNucci — to help take scout team snaps at practice, now that Rattler and Haener are not as available to do that while competing to possibly start if Carr is indeed unable to play. The Saints (5-8) have won three of four games since Rizzi took over following the firing of coach Dennis Allen. That allowed New Orleans to remain alive in the NFC South Division, currently led by Tampa Bay (7-6). Rizzi said Carr has not had any setbacks this week in terms of progressing through the NFL's concussion protocol. “By the end of the week, if's he's not able to get any reps in any form or fashion, then obviously we'll go with one of the other guys,” Rizzi said. NOTES: RB Alvin Kamara did not practice on Wednesday because of an illness. ... WR Chris Olave, who is out indefinitely because of concussions this season, has returned to meetings at Saints headquarters. He as not, however, made plans to return to practice yet because he still plans to meet first with neurological specialists to try to assess the risks of returning to action during what's left of this season. Rizzi said the possibility of Olave playing again this season remains “on the table” for now. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

Recently, Redditor u/utssssssss asked the people of the Reddit Community to share the mundane things and tasks of everyday life from the past that have younger folks confused and sometimes shocked by their existence — and the answers did not disappoint. From CDs to cursive, here's what adults have noticed younger people either struggling with or having no clue about: 1. "Paper maps and how to use them." — sailingosprey 2. "File structures. Because of cloud storage, kids in high school have no idea how file organization, folders, or naming work, leading to issues with searching for what you need on a computer. Phones and tablets just throw the file at you." — Best_Needleworker530 3. "Handing in homework on paper. Nowadays, college students submit assignments online, but everything was handed in on paper when I went to school." — mikel145 4. "Why the save button is a floppy disk." — Dabbles-In-Irony 5. "I still have the video of my son attempting to open a CD case. It took him about 45 seconds before he pried it open by pulling up the little tabs that were actually the hinges. He's pretty bright, but he was completely blown away by it." — edgarpickle 6. "Social media has created a world where people only see content they're already interested in and believe in. It's so unfortunate that some people aren't even aware of things outside their bubble. Anything that is 'old' or 'boring' is ignored or dismissed." — Significant-Froyo-44 7. "Telling time on an analog clock, apparently." — _Bearded_Dad 8. "Memorizing phone numbers! Back then, we didn't have contacts saved on speed dial. Now, it feels like a lost skill." — CrimsonTwirl 9. "Using a landline without getting weird looks. Kids probably think it's some ancient artifact." — One-Shame3030 10. "I think this one might be tough, but receiving the consequences of their own actions. If I spoke to adults like how some of the kids talk nowadays, I'd get whacked. Kids these days think that whatever they say is fine, and they won't ever be confronted about it." — ShoeNo9050 11. "Dial-up internet. Fifteen years ago, everyone was familiar with that screeching sound when connecting to the internet, and waiting for pages to load was just part of life. Now, young people can't even imagine having to wait more than a few seconds for a website to load, let alone dealing with a busy signal or being kicked offline when someone picks up the phone." — Inside-Dentist-1974 12. "I was working at a deli about six or seven years ago. I took a phone order and scribbled furiously to keep up with the customer. The girl running the register asked me what the hashtags were all about. I had written: #1/2 provolone, #1 honey ham, #3/4 Genoa salami." — oddball_ocelot 13. "How to read and write in cursive." — Shekelrama 14. "Home phones." — greyjedimaster77 15. "Counting change. It's both hilarious and frustrating watching my new hires struggle to count a $200 cash drawer. They do okay with the bills, but when they get to the coins..." — stootchmaster2 16. "The existence of history before they were born. Some of these idiots are questioning the holocaust and the moon landing because they weren't there to livestream it." — joeybagofdonuts80 17. "Yellow Pages and card catalogs." — shepardshe 18. "Looking at a TV guide. I remember getting out the newspaper every Sunday and searching through it to see what horror movies were playing on late-night cable." — Butt_bird 19. Lastly: "Streaming Netflix was still a novel thing compared to receiving DVDs in the mail. Also, TiVo was a big thing for DVR." — phenolate It was truly one of the worst feelings in the world to finally get your Netflix in the mail just for the disc to be SCRATCHED. IYKYK.
