Many are calling for #Jets Aaron Glenn to be fired… I just don’t see that as an immediate answer to the problems they have. There’s no doubt he’s not the guy, but moving to Frank Reich, for example, into the HC position for the rest of the season won’t solve this puzzle.
I can’t add any superlatives that aren’t being bantered about here already about how embarrassing this effort has been. ABCDemolished. #jets 🟢⚪️

Trump and Republicans are selling out Alaska to Russia.
US energy company execs have resigned in disgust as the Trump family is caught secretly expediting the funneling of $25 billion from a sanctioned Russian energy giant in exchange for allowing Russians to obtain a natural gas project in Alaska.
According to investigations by The New York Times and Financial Times, Russia's Novatek allegedly concealed its financial involvement in the American project through a UAE-linked intermediary.
Gentry Beach, a longtime Trump ally and close friend of Donald Trump Jr., signed an agreement with Novatek to pursue natural gas development in Alaska. Reuters documented the arrangement in February.
Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin discussed this cooperation on the Alaska energy project with Trump's representatives, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, during negotiations involving Russia and Ukraine.
The controversy deepened when Polar Train LNG's CEO, Joel Riddle, raised concerns about concealed Russian financing and possible sanctions violations. He departed in September, followed by other senior executives.
The Financial Times also described discussions about a potential arrangement under which Novatek would provide technology for the Alaska project in exchange for sanctions relief benefiting its Arctic LNG 2 development in Siberia.
According to The New York Times, Riddle and two other departing executives warned the Trump administration about the Russian financing and urged officials to investigate.
The White House maintains that the project was mentioned only briefly and that no detailed discussions took place. There is no established evidence that Kushner or Witkoff knew about the allegedly concealed financing. Polar Train LNG denies wrongdoing.
The central question is how a sanctioned Russian energy company became involved in a major American energy venture while Putin was discussing potential economic cooperation with Trump's representatives and a longtime Trump family associate was pursuing a separate agreement with the same Russian company.
Selling Alaska to the Russians or selling Ukraine to the Russians - to the Trump family it's all the same.

Saints are trying every which way to keep up, and they are failing at every turn today when it comes to scoring. Red zone turnovers and a missed field goal.. One more score from Pittsburgh, and its all but over.

TALLAHASSEE — A recent video shows a confrontation between a FedEx driver and a local construction company owner.
He has been identified as a former Leon County Sheriff’s Office deputy—although he claimed to just be "off duty."
The roughly two-minute clip, originally posted by the driver LeRoy C. Vann, captures the outdoor physical attack.
In the footage, Vann, wearing his FedEx uniform, is bent over near the truck while engaged with an older man later identified in comments and public records as Travis Wade Sparkman.
According to dialogue, the dispute began after Vann scanned a shipping case.
Sparkman, who claimed to be a Leon County Sheriff’s deputy, reportedly took issue with how the package was handled, followed Vann to his truck, made physical contact, including jumping on his back and headbutting and pushing him, and issued verbal threats to shoot him in the face or "end him."
An overlay on one version of the clip circles an object near Sparkman’s waist labeled "GUN HERE."
Vann is heard noting that the FedEx truck has cameras on multiple angles and that another person was recording.
Posts sharing the video, including one from @LongTimeHistory on X that has drawn thousands of views, state that seven officers and a K-9 unit responded.
According to Vann, officers determined the matter did not warrant charges because the threats were verbal and the firearm was not brandished.
No official statement from the Tallahassee Police Department or Leon County Sheriff’s Office has been released as of this writing.
Sparkman is the owner of T Spark Enterprises, LLC, a roofing and construction firm based at 1134 W. Orange Avenue in Tallahassee. Florida Department of Business and
Professional Regulation records list him as a licensed certified general contractor (CGC1525336), with the company active since 2013.
Public records also confirm prior employment as a deputy with the Leon County Sheriff’s Office.
Vann, a Tampa native and Florida A&M University alumnus, is a former FAMU Rattlers football standout and 2021 Hall of Fame inductee.
As a return specialist under coach Joe Taylor, he set multiple NCAA, conference, and school records, including a career mark of 11 combined kick returns for touchdowns and over 1,000 yards in both punt and kickoff returns.
He played professionally in the CFL and indoor leagues after going undrafted, later returned to FAMU to complete a degree in criminal justice, and has since posted fitness and motivational content online.
As of late October 24, 2026, neither Sparkman nor local law enforcement has publicly commented on the matter.
