John Harbaugh benched Cam Skattebo for fumbling. Then the Giants gave the ball away four times anyway in a 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. But they might have found something with J.J. McCarthy. The young quarterback nearly led a miracle comeback in an electric fourth quarter that fell just short, and head coach John Harbaugh would not announce whether McCarthy or Jameis Winston will be his starting quarterback next week. “Can’t answer that now,” Harbaugh said. “The game just ended 10 minutes ago. It’s not even up for discussion or conversation right now.…

Anthropic announced today that it’s creating a “public benefit fund” that will give the company “increased flexibility and scale” to support projects for societal good. Anthropic said that it will commit 5% of its shares to the fund — structured as a wholly-owned entity within the company — with the option to contribute an additional 2% for every 50% increase in Anthropic’s value. And it offered some broad-strokes ideas for how this money might actually be used, such as “large donations to traditional nonprofits or direct distributions to specific populations.” There’s also the impact that AI might have on the…

FOXBOROUGH — Different season. Same house of horrors for Gang Green. The Jets (2-4) left Gillette Stadium Sunday with another loss to the Patriots (4-2), unable to finish a comeback or find an answer for Drake Maye in a 26-19 defeat. Maye’s three touchdown passes lifted New England to its third straight win on a sunny, 51-degree afternoon and dropped Jets head coach Aaron Glenn to 0-7 against AFC East opponents. “There’s a number of things that I can point to that gave us some issues in this game,” Glenn said. “Really what it came down to is two things, …

“Dancing With the Stars” pro Val Chmerkovskiy has been yanked off next week’s show after a social media joke that appeared aimed at judge Carrie Ann Inaba’s critique of his wife and fellow dancer Jenna Johnson’s routine. “You almost saw Fresh Prince enter the ballroom last night,” Chmerkovskiy quipped on TikTok after Inaba dinged Johnson for including an illegal lift in her samba performance with Harry Shum Jr. during last Tuesday’s show. The joke apparently referenced the infamous 2022 “Oscars Slap,” when Will Smith strode up to the stage during the Academy Awards and slapped host Chris Rock across the face…

A cruise to Bermuda. A free trial for DirecTV. Leftovers in the refrigerator. Hanukkah. There it is: A list of things that lasted longer than the White House’s new press secretary. Five days. One hundred twenty hours. That’s how long it took for Katie Zacharia to be fired from her job as the face of the Trump administration, and one of the most visible posts in the world. She’s no C.J. Cregg of “West Wing” fame. The cast of “The West Wing,” from left, Richard Schiff (as Communications Director Toby Ziegler), Allison Janney (as Press Secretary C.J. Cregg), Bradley Whitford…

We are just weeks away from The Game Awards 2026, gaming’s biggest night, and big nominees like Grand Theft Auto 6 are already turning heads. Controversy has already been sparked by the recent news that Grand Theft Auto 6 will qualify despite its late November 19 launch. The title is potentially up for a slew of awards this year based on last year’s categories, like Best in Accessibility, Best Action Game, Best Performance, Best Art Direction, Best Score/Music, and the ever-important Game of the Year. This is specifically troublesome for voting, seemingly making it more challenging for a game to…
