This week is no exception, even as we've just dipped our toes into the hot stove season. Speaking of all that, Saturday's supply of scuttlebutt -- scuttlebutt! -- can be found just below. Judge has no problem with Soto getting bigger contract New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge, during his remarks upon receiving the American League MVP Award, addressed the ongoing free agency of Juan Soto . Soto this past season teamed up with Judge to give the Yankees one of the most potent lineup tandems in MLB history. Suffice it to say, Judge is very much hoping the Yankees re-sign Soto and keep the duo together for years to come. Specifically, Judge, the No. 3 hitter, cited how he benefits from Soto's best-in-class plate discipline at the No. 2 spot. Via MLB.com's Bryan Hoch , Judge said: "Having a chance to have Juan hitting in front of me, I get to see a lot of pitches. He's going to be a tough at-bat in front of me. He's going to wear down the pitcher right there in the first inning, within the first 15 pitches or so. I think that was a big impact, having a guy like that in front of you. If I could have eight Juan Sotos in the lineup with me, I'd love that." Judge is two years into the nine-year, $360 million contract he signed two offseasons ago after reaching free agency. As a 26-year-old outfielder with a historic combination of power and plate patience, Soto's forthcoming contract could top $600 million. Judge, though, firmly asserted he'd have no issue no longer being the highest-paid Yankee should Soto return. Again from Hoch, Judge said: "Honestly, it ain't my money. I really don't care, as long as we get the best players, we get the most that we can. I'm happy with whatever. That's never been something on my mind, about who gets paid the most. ... " Giancarlo Stanton was a guy that set that example. He never really cared, even though he signed a mega contract back in Miami. Once he came here, he didn't care about being the highest-paid guy. He just wanted good players around him." Judge added that he has not spoken to Soto since the World Series ended, instead preferring to let the vested parties have space to make the best possible decision. Astros, Verlander have had talks Veteran right-hander Justin Verlander, coming off a disappointing season, has had talks with the Astros about a potential reunion. Astros general manager Dana Brown revealed as much during an appearance on Buster Olney's Baseball Tonight podcast ( hat tip to MLB Trade Rumors ). "We've had conversations with his agent [ISE's Mark Pieper] just to try to feel him out," Brown said. "I don't know if there's been a lot of progress, but we're having conversations." Verlander, 41, posted a 72 ERA+ over 90 innings last season. Yankees interested in Buehler Speaking of the Yankees, they may have interest in the pitcher who shut the door on them in the decisive Game 5 of the World Series. Jon Morosi reports that there's "some mutual interest" between the Yankees and free-agent right-hander Walker Buehler , a Dodgers lifer thus far. Buehler, now 30, struggled during the regular season, during which he was coming back from his second Tommy John surgery. However, he has ace-level results in the past and he left an impression on the Yankees in the World Series with six scoreless innings in total. In addition to angling to bring back Soto, the Yankees are also seeking rotation depth.Huang Yaqiong, a name synonymous with strength, perseverance, and determination in the world of badminton.

If like me you spent decades growing your eyebrows back after overzealously plucking in the ’90s, or listening to your mother’s warnings that you’d end up with a bladder chill or an unwanted pregnancy (or possibly both) from venturing out in hipster jeans, then you too might be bemused to see these trends return. But if younger generations want to revive unflattering bubble skirts and mullets, who are we to stop them? However, we can all agree certain things should be consigned to the history books forever — namely smoking and sexually transmitted diseases. Sadly, both are making a comeback, due in no small part to a current lack of public health campaigns about the dangers of smoking and unsafe sex leading to complacency among young people. But while STDS never have been and never will be cool, smoking is receiving something of an image boost through popular culture and social media. Advertising of tobacco products has been banned for more than three decades but the tobacco industry, which is worth more than $14 billion in Australia and almost $1.5 trillion globally, continues to protect its bottom line and its reach is pervasive. Jay Hanna According to nonprofit health organisation Truth Initiative, streaming TV shows can triple a young person’s odds of starting to vape or smoke. It points out that four of this year’s Emmy-nominated animated shows, including The Simpsons, contained tobacco imagery, while nine out of 10 of the year’s Best Picture Oscar nominees featured smoking, up from seven out of 10 films the year before. While watching Jamie-Lee Curtis take a frantic drag of her fag while mentally unravelling in The Bear won’t encourage anyone to light up, seeing the show’s main star Jeremy Allen White smoking, on and off set, might. Likewise promotional posters for the 2023 thriller Saltburn — featuring topless stars Jacob Elordi and Barry Keoghan — could have been a modern day Marlboro Man advertising campaign. The music industry is not immune either. The album most listened to in 2024, Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, references smoking in four songs, while in the music video for Die With a Smile, Lady Gaga sings with a cigarette dangling from her mouth. And Charli XCX, whose album Brat was arguably the most culturally impactful and critically acclaimed release of the year, summed up the ethos behind it as: “a pack of cigs, a Bic lighter and a strappy white top with no bra”. While we all know smoking is dangerous, somehow it has never looked uncool, which is why limiting exposure is important. “I’ve never smoked or vaped but damn a cigarette would look so good with some of my outfits,” a millennial male colleague told me. Another confessed she’d been re-watching Mad Men and had to admit the stars looked incredibly chic as they puffed their way to early graves. Jay Hanna I have never been a smoker but I have also seen first-hand the devastating impact it can have from watching my grandmother struggle to overcome her addiction before it eventually killed her, following a short battle with lung cancer, at 68. I am also of a generation that was bombarded with public health messaging about smoking with horrifying images of cancerous mouths and other body parts forever burnt upon our collective retinas. Smoking, which increases the risk of 16 types of cancer — not to mention stroke, heart disease and diabetes — remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease in Australia. Meanwhile vaping, which can cause poisoning and lung disease, is currently more popular among young people, with the number of secondary students who have vaped more than doubling since 2017. Jonine Jancey, Director at Curtin University’s Centre for Evidence Impact and Research in Public Health, said vaping could “support the re-normalisation of smoking”, pointing to research from the Australian National University which indicated that non-smokers who vape are three times more likely to take up smoking as those who have never vaped. One 20-year-old smoker told me she started vaping at 17 before moving on to cigarettes. “Smoking is much cooler than vaping,” she said, adding that her favourite singers Chappell Roan and Dua Lipa both smoke. “But I will quit when I am older.” Professor Jancey said while she welcomes the Federal Government’s introduction of a national anti-vaping program in schools, a multi-faceted approach is needed, including restricting exposure. “Education is great, but we need to stop the exposure and access to these harmful products,” she said. “Our research shows vaping is widely promoted to young people on social media. These social media companies must ensure the health of their users is prioritised over commercial interests.” Perhaps part of the strategy could involve bombarding social media and streaming shows with images of Gen Xers smoking, because we all know how quickly things become uncool when embraced by older generations. Like when Xers absconded to Instagram the minute Boomer relations started “poking” us on Facebook. After all, if anyone was going to post old photos of us in hipster jeans, it would be them.None
Kaleb Johnson rushes 35 times for 164 yards in Iowa's 29-13 victory over MarylandBy MICHELLE L. PRICE WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — An online spat between factions of Donald Trump’s supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in his political movement into public display, previewing the fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House. The rift laid bare the tensions between the newest flank of Trump’s movement — wealthy members of the tech world including billionaire Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and their call for more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump’s Make America Great Again base who championed his hardline immigration policies. The debate touched off this week when Laura Loomer , a right-wing provocateur with a history of racist and conspiratorial comments, criticized Trump’s selection of Sriram Krishnan as an adviser on artificial intelligence policy in his coming administration. Krishnan favors the ability to bring more skilled immigrants into the U.S. Loomer declared the stance to be “not America First policy” and said the tech executives who have aligned themselves with Trump were doing so to enrich themselves. Much of the debate played out on the social media network X, which Musk owns. Loomer’s comments sparked a back-and-forth with venture capitalist and former PayPal executive David Sacks , whom Trump has tapped to be the “White House A.I. & Crypto Czar.” Musk and Ramaswamy, whom Trump has tasked with finding ways to cut the federal government , weighed in, defending the tech industry’s need to bring in foreign workers. It bloomed into a larger debate with more figures from the hard-right weighing in about the need to hire U.S. workers, whether values in American culture can produce the best engineers, free speech on the internet, the newfound influence tech figures have in Trump’s world and what his political movement stands for. Trump has not yet weighed in on the rift, and his presidential transition team did not respond to a message seeking comment. Musk, the world’s richest man who has grown remarkably close to the president-elect , was a central figure in the debate, not only for his stature in Trump’s movement but his stance on the tech industry’s hiring of foreign workers. Technology companies say H-1B visas for skilled workers, used by software engineers and others in the tech industry, are critical for hard-to-fill positions. But critics have said they undercut U.S. citizens who could take those jobs. Some on the right have called for the program to be eliminated, not expanded. Born in South Africa, Musk was once on an a H-1B visa himself and defended the industry’s need to bring in foreign workers. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent,” he said in a post. “It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.” Related Articles National Politics | Should the U.S. increase immigration levels for highly skilled workers?

His tough immigration policies, including his pledge for a mass deportation, were central to his winning presidential campaign. He has focused on immigrants who come into the U.S. illegally but he has also sought curbs on legal immigration , including family-based visas. As a presidential candidate in 2016, Trump called the H-1B visa program “very bad” and “unfair” for U.S. workers. After he became president, Trump in 2017 issued a “Buy American and Hire American” executive order , which directed Cabinet members to suggest changes to ensure H-1B visas were awarded to the highest-paid or most-skilled applicants to protect American workers. Trump’s businesses, however, have hired foreign workers, including waiters and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago club , and his social media company behind his Truth Social app has used the the H-1B program for highly skilled workers. During his 2024 campaign for president, as he made immigration his signature issue, Trump said immigrants in the country illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country” and promised to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. But in a sharp departure from his usual alarmist message around immigration generally, Trump told a podcast this year that he wants to give automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from U.S. colleges. “I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country,” he told the “All-In” podcast with people from the venture capital and technology world. Those comments came on the cusp of Trump’s budding alliance with tech industry figures, but he did not make the idea a regular part of his campaign message or detail any plans to pursue such changes.The Adelaide Crows were stung even before the first ball up in Saturday night’s preliminary final with players forced to walk out to the club’s most hated song. The Crows were unable to stop the Brisbane Lions from progressing to a third-consecutive AFLW grand final at Brighton Homes Arena, but the biggest talking point came as the teams ran onto the field.

While Channel 7 and Fox Footy did not broadcast the Crows’ entry onto the ground, it did not go unnoticed that Port Adelaide’s club song was played over the loud speakers — instead of their own. Channel 7 reported the song was played in full as the Crows completed their final warm up before huddling for the national anthem and welcome to country. The embarrassing scene had fans chortling away on Saturday night. The Crows players arrived for the anthem and welcome to country. Photo: Channel 7 and Twitter @CrowsAFLW. AFL reporter Michael Whiting posted on Twitter: “Oh dear. The entire Port Adelaide team song played as Adelaide ran on to Brighton Homes Arena. Then the Crows song followed. Oops”. Channel 7’s Late McCarthy wrote: “Mind games already at Brighton Homes Arena. Port Adelaide theme song played as the Crows make their way out onto the field”. Former Queensland senator Andrew Bartlett shared grimacing face emojis as he wrote: “When the teams ran on to the ground for the Brisbane Lions vs Adelaide Crows prelim final, the sound people at the ground played the team song for ... Port Power”. The Crows’ social media team did post a video of the team running onto the ground on its Twitter and Instagram pages, but the clip appeared to be edited in the middle. Some fans were much more scathing of the blunder. “Lions playing the port song for adelaide is either top tier s***housery or someone’s getting fired,” one Twitter user wrote. One posted: “BHA playing the port adelaide song LOL”. Worse was still to come for the Crows. The Lions’ 18-point win sets up a sequel to the enthralling 2023 grand final against North Melbourne. The big win comes 12 months after the Lions marched into Adelaide Oval and shocked the Crows on their home deck in the finals. The game turned dramatically in the third quarter as the Lions banged in four goals and then held their nerve to win 7.8-50 to 4.8-32. It was the Lions’ sixth consecutive win over the Crows – a curiously lopsided recent head-to-head given the two clubs’ history dating back to the inaugural grand final in 2017. The previous three meetings between the two teams had all been decided by less than a goal. It marked the Crows’ third-consecutive preliminary final defeat. Brisbane will head to Ikon Park next Saturday for a repeat grand final date with minor premiers North Melbourne, whose last defeat came in the 2023 decider.

Chelsea Biddell could only shake her head in confusion after she was called to play-on inside Brisbane’s goalsquare having taken what she thought was a goal-saving contested mark midway through the third quarter. The Crows defender barely took half a step off her line but that was enough for the controlling umpire to call play-on, forcing Biddell to hurriedly handball into the path of Jade Ellenger who goaled to give the Lions a nine-point advantage. That quickly became 15 points when Dakota Davidson goaled off the deck for her second major of the night. A game previously in the balance quickly became one-way traffic as the hosts roared to life with a vocal home crowd at their backs. RAMPANT RANDALL If the AFLW had a Player of the Finals award it would undoubtedly have gone to Chelsea Randall. Adelaide’s talismanic jack-of-all-trades threatened to break Brisbane hearts with an imperious first-half display as the Crows shot out of the blocks. Randall was the difference at quarter-time after out-marking Poppy Boltz to kick the opening goal of the game – but it was her second major that will make highlight reels this week. The Crows needed a reset after Brisbane booted two quick goals to draw within a point in the shadows of halftime and Randall delivered. A quick kick inside 50 caught the Crows’ livewire off-guard but with incredible athleticism, contorted her body to take a stunning one-handed grab with Lions defender Nat Grider hanging off of her. Randall went back and kicked truly to send the Crows into halftime with a seven-point lead. But as Brisbane got on top in the middle of the ground Randall’s opportunities inside 50 dried up and not even the Crows’ maestro was able to magic a second-half comeback in the face of the Lions’ onslaught. The 33-year-old averaged 18 disposals and booted five goals in her three finals appearances – unfortunately not enough to deliver the Crows to another grand final. — with NCA NewsWire More Coverage ‘Unbelievable’: Ange does the unthinkable Tyson Otto Lleyton Hewitt drops bomb on tennis world Tyson Otto Originally published as Adelaide Crows brutally trolled as rival club’s song played AFL Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL.
