Giants president John Mara has been a member of the committee for 15 years and explained, via the team’s website, why the committee unanimously opposed 12 of the proposals and why it passed the use of replay to correct the game clock at the end of a half or overtime.

Even with USC quarterback Sam Darnold still on the board after the Cleveland Browns selected Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield first overall, the Giants still plumped for Penn State star Barkley. Seen as a generational talent at the running back spot, Barkley racked up 3,843 rushing yards and 43 touchdowns on the ground at Penn State, while also adding 1,195 yards and eight touchdowns as a receiver. But, as talented as Barkley is, there will continue to be questions over the quarterback position, the Giants seemingly deciding the 37-year-old Eli Manning is still the best man for the job despite a hugely disappointing 2017 season in which the Giants went 3-13....

The Eagles are tied with Dallas atop the division but have not looked good the past two weeks. Quarterback Nick Foles is struggling with accuracy on intermediate and long throws, running back LeSean McCoy can’t seem to get untracked, and the linebacking corps is banged up. Philly was fortunate to escape with a home win after building a 34-7 lead over the Rams last week. The line: Eagles -3 (even), Total: 50...

Neither view is quite right: the United States profits far more from its engagement with the world than its citizens recognize. And it’s far more benevolent than outsiders think. Aside from managing the endgame in Iraq, therefore, the greatest foreign-policy challenge facing President George W. Bush in the next 18 months—and the toughest job his successor will confront—will be how to convince everyone else that things really aren’t that bad, and that desperate measures to change course would be unnecessary and unwise....

Talk of an imminent change in the Old Trafford dugout continues to build, with a four-game winless run seeing pressure piled onto the current man at the helm. Various candidates are being mooted to fill Mourinho’s shoes should he be moved on, with the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Antonio Conte and Mauricio Pochettino all reported to be in the frame. Giggs, though, believes that further disruption is the last thing that United need, with the club already onto their third manager since Sir Alex Ferguson slipped into retirement back in 2013....

Eastman is alleged to have played a key part in trying to pressure former Vice President Mike Pence to not certify the 2020 election results in Congress on January 6, despite knowing such a tactic would be illegal. The emails between Thomas and Eastman were obtained by the panel investigating the January 6 attack. Three unnamed people involved in the committee told The Washington Post the emails reveal Thomas’ efforts to overturn the 2020 Election results were greater than previously known, but did not expand upon the details....

The celebrations were muted as the child, wrapped in foil, was lifted into an ambulance surrounded by exhausted rescue workers who have worked around the clock since the tremor hit on Friday afternoon.

Antonio Conte has experimented with a man more at home on the flanks in a central forward role this season. Hazard has, however, aired his frustration at being forced to fill an unfamiliar position, with mixed results returned from the contests in which he has operated down the middle. Conte has no need to tinker with his tactical approach, having spent big drafting in proven front-men, and Giroud believes that a battle will soon be whittled down to him and £70 million colleague Morata....

Frank Lampard will get his wish to keep the Frenchman at Stamford Bridge for another six months as pressure grows over his position in charge of the club. Giroud’s contract expires in June 2021 and there is no specific clause that Chelsea can invoke to extend it, having used an option to keep him for another year in 2020. The Blues would therefore need to agree a new deal with the 34-year-old for him to continue in west London, with Giroud having spoken to Le Dauphine Libere about his situation....

Marshall on Tuesday referred to his Week 5 opponent by its old San Diego moniker while speaking with media.

San Diego — need to go back to San Diego,” Marshall said with a smile and a laugh. “There goes your headline for it today....

Daniel Jones played every offensive snap for the Giants on Sunday afternoon despite the blowout and his poor performance. Jones completed 29 of 51 pass attempts for 242 yards, but he struggled immensely with turnovers in the loss. He threw three interceptions and lost a fumble; those miscues allowed the Rams to accumulate 21 points off turnovers. RIVERA: Aaron Rodgers taunts Bears fans after Packers’ win at Soldier Field...

The first order of business: getting quarterback Daniel Jones some protection on the offensive line. New York got that done with the fourth overall pick, taking Georgia left tackle Andrew Thomas. Next, the Giants needed to add an elite talent in the secondary. They got that with their second-round pick in Alabama safety Xavier McKinney. New York rounded out day two with a second offensive tackle, Connecticut’s Matt Peart. On day three, they added four linebackers, a pair of conrers and an offensive lineman...

“I want to help. I want to be there for him,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin told Sports Illustrated. “But he’s decided that he doesn’t want our help. He thinks that something will come of it.
