In six weeks, 14 of the NFL's 32 teams will compete for the coveted Lombardi. By that time, however, the season will have already crowned one champion. The draft champion. With almost 12 weeks of football in the books, the Jacksonville Jaguars keep the inside track at holding the NFL's No. 1 selection when the draft heads to Green Bay in April. They won't have an easy path there though. While Jacksonville enjoys a week off, the Giants lost in embarrassing fashion to the Buccaneers . A win by the Titans took them out of the race for now, but the top 10 remains close regardless. Plenty can change between now and then, but these fanbases will at least have mock drafts to look forward to in what's been a miserable season for everyone involved. Here's a look at how the 2025 NFL draft order looks following the early games on Sunday in Week 12.

MONTREAL - Second Cup Canada is cutting ties with a franchisee operating at Montreal’s Jewish General Hospital who was allegedly filmed making hateful and antisemitic comments during a protest in the city last week. Second Cup Canada announced Saturday it was cutting ties with a franchisee for “making hateful remarks and gestures,” and adding in a statement the actions breach the franchise agreement as well as inclusion and community values held by the chain. Peter Mammas, CEO of Montreal-based Foodtastic, which owns Second Cup Canada, said in an interview on Sunday that he was at the movies when his phone started pinging non-stop. He saw the videos and the company’s operations staff spoke to employees that knew the woman, and they confirmed it was indeed the franchisee. Video shot during a pro-Palestinian demonstration outside of Concordia University’s downtown Montreal campus Thursday shows a woman walking around, masked, saying the “final solution is coming your way” — wording used to describe a Nazi plan to eliminate Jews in Europe during the Second World War. Another video also shows what appears to be the same woman, unmasked, making a Nazi salute while walking away. “We’re all for free speech and respectful conversations, but this wasn’t that,” Mammas said. “This was hate speech, and it was something that we thought could incite violence and we’re completely against that, so we sat down with our team and decided to revoke the franchise agreement.” Attempts to reach the franchisee were unsuccessful on Sunday. “Second Cup has zero tolerance for hate speech,” the coffee chain said in a statement on X. “In co-ordination with the hospital, we’ve shut down the franchisee’s café and are terminating their franchise agreement.” Mammas said lawyers for the franchisee and Second Cup were expected to meet on Monday. The regional health agency serving West-Central Montreal, which includes the Jewish General Hospital, said it was made aware of the video “containing antisemitic and hateful messaging.” The video is related to a franchisee of Second Cup, one of the private tenants operating within the (Jewish General), Carl Thériault, a spokesman, said in a statement on Sunday. “We fully support Second Cup’s decision to take swift and decisive action in this matter by shutting down the franchisee’s cafés and terminating their lease agreement.” The hospital has two locations operated by the same franchisee and both were shuttered on Saturday by the owners of the chain. The health agency “is committed to fostering a culture of inclusion and stands firmly against antisemitism and any other form of discrimination or hate speech,” Thériault said. “We have franchisees who are Muslim, we have franchisees who are Jewish, we have franchisees that are Greek, French, we have employees from all different nations,” Mammas said. “So we definitely have no issue with that and we don’t take any political side, but ... hate speech ... you know we can’t accept that.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 24, 2024.

Best Buy Co. Inc. stock underperforms Thursday when compared to competitorsSeoul: Embattled South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol avoided an opposition-led attempt to impeach him over his short-lived imposition of martial law , as most ruling party lawmakers boycotted a parliamentary vote on Saturday to deny a two-thirds majority needed to suspend his presidential powers. The scrapping of the motion is expected to intensify protests calling for Yoon’s ousting and deepen political chaos in South Korea , with a survey suggesting most South Koreans support the president’s impeachment. A protest against President Yoon Suk Yeol outside Seoul’s national assembly on Saturday. Credit: Bloomberg Yoon’s martial law declaration drew criticism from his own ruling conservative People Power Party (PPP), but the party is also determined to oppose Yoon’s impeachment apparently because it fears losing the presidency to liberals. After the motion fell through, members of the main liberal opposition Democratic Party rallied inside the national assembly, chanting slogans calling for Yoon’s impeachment or resignation. The party’s floor leader, Park Chan-dae, said the opposition would soon prepare for a new impeachment motion. Opposition parties could submit a new motion after a new parliamentary session opens on Wednesday. Loading “We’ll surely impeach Yoon Suk Yeol, who is the greatest risk to Republic of Korea,” party leader Lee Jae-myung said. “We’ll surely bring back this country to normal before Christmas Day or year’s end.” Many experts worry Yoon won’t be able to serve out his remaining 21⁄2 years in office. They say some PPP lawmakers could eventually join opposition parties’ efforts to impeach Yoon if public demands for it increase. The ruling party risks “further public outrage and national confusion if they don’t find a formula fast for Yoon’s departure”, said Duyeon Kim, a senior analyst at the Centre for a New American Security in Washington.SILVER SPRING TWP. – Jack Muldoon was hard to miss Thursday night, wrapped in a long Bonner & Prendergast winter coat as he led his Friars into the PIAA Class 4A championship game at Cumberland Valley High School. The coat, a deep green with a weathered yellow “B” on the back, looked like something pulled from an old photo in the school’s trophy cabinet. It wasn’t just any jacket — it was a symbol of legacy and tradition. Muldoon had received it as a gift from Steve Phillips, a 1969 graduate and one of the greatest running backs in Bonner history, who led the Friars to an undefeated season in his senior year. Years ago, Phillips entrusted the coat to Muldoon with a condition: If Muldoon ever guided the Friars to a state final, he should wear it on the sidelines. On this night, that promise became reality. “Steve Phillips is a great Bonner guy, a Hall of Famer,” Muldoon said. “He gave this to me six years ago. He’s always been a big supporter. He said to me, ‘You have to wear this if you ever get to the state championship game.’ I promised I would. “When I pulled it out of the locker room, everyone screamed. They loved it.” Muldoon, if nothing else, stayed warm and turned heads as he guided the Friars to their first PIAA title with a 40-14 victory over Lampeter-Strasburg. And, yes, his choice of attire didn’t go unnoticed by his players and coaching staff. Amid the postgame celebration, offensive coordinator Mike Melvin couldn’t resist a good-natured jab, likening Muldoon to a 1970s-era professional wrestling manager, the flamboyant “Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart or the sharp-tongued Bobby “The Brain” Heenan. “He honestly looked like a wrestling manager coming out of the locker room,” Melvin said with a laugh. “Like Superman, even.” The moment senior linebacker Brett Johnson spotted Muldoon’s vintage coat, it fired him up even more to make a statement against Lampeter-Strasburg. Johnson snagged two interceptions, including a 61-yard pick-six as the clock hit zeros at the end of the second quarter, giving the Friars a 27-14 lead. “It was amazing. Loved it,” he said. “It made me want to hit someone.” Senior running back Mick Johnson, who capped off his Friars career with four touchdowns in the state final, couldn’t help but admire Muldoon’s iconic coat as well. “Oh yeah. That was motivating when we saw he was wearing that. Funny, but motivating,” he said. “I don’t even know what year he pulled that from, but I knew it was old.” For Muldoon, the coat wasn’t just a source of lighthearted humor among his players and coaches. He donned it with immense pride. A 1975 Monsignor Bonner graduate who serves as the school’s assistant director of institutional advancement, Muldoon has always been deeply committed to honoring the school’s history and its football program’s legacy. So, when asked what winning a state title meant to him, he didn’t hesitate to acknowledge and celebrate the teams that paved the way for this squad. “This is for everybody, all of the teams and all of the guys who came before this team who never had a chance to do this,” Muldoon said. “This state championship is for them, too.” The most meaningful part of the championship for Muldoon was sharing the moment with his son, Brady. Overcoming torn knee ligaments as a freshman , Brady worked his way back to become a key contributor on offense on this team. As a wide receiver, he didn’t see many targets in a lineup that featured record-setting playmakers Jalil Hall and Jeremiah Coleman, but his role was vital nonetheless. During the postgame celebration, father and son shared an emotional embrace. Fighting back tears of joy, Jack turned to Brady and spoke from the heart. “This is the thrill of a lifetime. What they’ve given me — what he has given me — is truly special,” he said. “I’ll never experience anything like this again. Sharing these last four years with him has been remarkable.”
What happens when 'The Simpsons' join 'Monday Night Football'? Find out during Bengals-CowboysA two-hour service attended by incoming US president Donald Trump among other world leaders began with the archbishop of Paris knocking on the doors of the cathedral three times. "Notre Dame, model of faith, open your doors to bring together the far-flung children of God in joy," archbishop Laurent Ulrich commanded, banging with a wooden staff crafted from a roof beam that survived the inferno five years ago. Trump was seated on the front row as guest of honour next to French President Emmanuel Macron, with he and other invitees marvelling at the freshly cleaned walls, new furniture and state-of-the-art lighting installed as part of the overhaul. In a short speech, Macron expressed the "gratitude of the French nation" for the restoration work, achieved at frenzied speed over the last five years. France had "rediscovered what great nations can do -- achieve the impossible", he said. One of the most moving moments came when firefighters in their protective workwear walked through the congregation to thunderous applause as the word "Merci" ("Thank you") was beamed on the intricate facade and famous belltowers of the Gothic masterpiece outside. Small crowds of Parisians and tourists braved wet weather and high winds on the banks of the River Seine to witness the renaissance of a monument which came close to collapsing due to the intensity of the flames that toppled its roof and spire. "I find it really beautiful, even more so now that the spire has been restored," Marie Jean, a 27-year-old dentist from southwest France, told AFP outside. The reconstruction effort cost around 700 million euros ($750 million), financed from donations, with the re-opening achieved within a five-year deadline despite predictions it could take decades. Workers had to overcome problems with lead pollution, the Covid-19 epidemic, and the army general overseeing the project falling to his death while hiking in the Pyrenees last year. Saturday's service featured classical music, the cathedral's choir as well as some frenetic organ-playing during the "re-awakening" of the 8,000-pipe instrument which is considered the voice and soul of the cathedral. Held up as an example of French creativity and resilience by Macron, Notre Dame's renaissance at a difficult time for the country. The sense of national accomplishment in restoring a symbol of Paris has been undercut by political turmoil that has left France without a proper government since last week when prime minister Michel Barnier lost a confidence vote in parliament. Macron is hoping the re-opening might provide a fleeting sense of national pride and unity -- as the Paris Olympics did in July and August. He scored a major coup by attracting Trump along with around 40 heads of state and government, including Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, who was given a round of applause as he entered Notre Dame. Macron hosted three-way talks with Zelensky and Trump at the presidential palace shortly before the ceremony, with future US military support for Ukraine's war effort against Russia's invasion expected to have been discussed. Trump has vowed to end the nearly three-year Ukraine war when he takes office on January 20, sparking fears in Kyiv that he will force Ukraine to make territorial concessions to Russia. "We all want peace. But it is very important for us... that the peace is just for all of us and that Russia, (Russian President Vladimir) Putin or any other aggressor has no possibility of ever returning," Zelensky said according to the presidential website. One surprising absentee on Saturday was Pope Francis, the head of the Catholic Church. He sent a message addressed to the French people and weighed into a row about whether the place of worship and tourist attraction should remain free to enter. The "immense" numbers set to visit Notre Dame should be welcomed "generously and free of charge", he said, clearly opposing a proposition from the French culture ministry to charge for entry. The exact cause of the 2019 blaze has never been identified despite a forensic investigation by prosecutors, who believe an accident such as an electrical fault was the most likely reason. On Sunday, the first mass with hundreds of bishops and priests will take place at 10:30 am (0930 GMT), followed by a second service in the evening at 6:30 pm which will be open to the public. adp-sjw/jj
