New York Giants co-owner John Mara, as he’s prone to do, set off alarms during the offseason when he brought back much-maligned general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll. When he did so, it came with a caveat. He openly claimed he has “just about run out of patience“, and said that he must be “in a better mood this time next year” for both Schoen and Daboll to return in 2026.
That has set up a lame duck situation at two of the most important roles in the organization. Making matters more interesting is the team’s quarterback situation. Veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston were brought in to compete in Daniel Jones‘ absence, while the front office took a chance on rookie Jaxson Dart in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. While Wilson is expected to be the starter, could Dart force his way in in order to save Schoen and Daboll’s jobs?
Jaxson Dart could extend the New York life of Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll
While going through his offseason power rankings of all 32 NFL teams, Yahoo Sports’ Frank Schwab slotted in the Giants at No. 27. That’s not a surprise given their previous season performance and the offseason they had. But Schwab mentions something interesting in regard to Dart potentially starting for the team. In order for it to happen, Schoen and/or Daboll must feel like their job is on the line unless they turn to Dart.
Jaxson Dart wins viral QB battle against Cam Ward
If the Giants aren’t much better than last season, the biggest question will be when to give Dart a shot. The reality is that decision will be made by a coach and general manager who are in self-preservation mode. Whatever is best for their survival will play a role in that decision.
Both Schoen and Daboll don’t have a long leash. In fact, they are more than likely to both get fired at the end of this season unless the Giants make the playoffs. That will be very difficult considering they have the toughest schedule in the NFL.
Daboll could wait it out until the end of the season, with the Giants out of contention. Slotting in Dart and having the rookie play well under his watch could potentially afford him one more season in New York. Daboll could then turn to Mara and show him that he just needs time with Dart to turn around the franchise.

Week 6 NFL QB Power Rankings: Can Buccaneers’ Baker Mayfield break into top five? Raiders’ Geno Smith plummets
1 He may not have gotten the best of the rival Patriots in a surprise Week 5 defeat, putting the ball in harm's way a bit more than usual as of late. But he's still the NFL's most trustworthy playmaker at the position this side of Patrick Mahomes.2 This guy's a machine out there. Yes, we've seen before Goff can be shaken with steady pressure, but that's most quarterbacks. Ever since a slow Week 1, he's been on the money, now leading the NFL with 12 scoring strikes. (+2)3 Resting up on the Packers' bye in Week 5, Love may have had a scarily sloppy finish to Green Bay's last outing, an overtime tie, but when asked to heave it as Matt LaFleur's signal-caller, he's been electric, averaging 8.3 yards per toss.

Inside the Phillies’ home clubhouse, where they hope to return: Who sits where — and why?
After the boos rippled through Citizens Bank Park on Monday night, the Phillies were left with silence.It filled the clubhouse. Some players sat alone at their lockers. A few pitchers quietly chatted in the corner. Others tried to navigate the hordes of media surrounding teammates. It might have been the last game the Phillies’ roster, as currently constructed, spent in their home clubhouse together. Trailing the Dodgers 2-0 in the National League Division Series, the Phillies’ season could be over as soon as Wednesday evening in Los Angeles.Advertisement“It could be the last time this group gets to play together,” Alec Bohm said after Monday’s devastating 4-3 loss in Game 2. “The whole, full 26-man roster, for sure.

Půl milionu za hodinu. Ronaldo se stal prvním fotbalovým miliardářem
Finanční experti renomované agentury Bloomberg, kteří podrobně prozkoumali Ronaldovy kariérní výdělky, investice a reklamní smlouvy a upravili je o aktuální daňové sazby, ohodnotili jeho čisté jmění na 1,04 miliardy liber (29,5 miliardy korun). Na svůj seznam miliardářů zahrnul Bloomberg Ronalda poprvé.Čtyřicetiletý Portugalec má doživotní smlouvu se společností Nike, která má údajně celkovou hodnotu 745 milionů liber (přes 21 miliard korun). Kontrakt má také se značkami Tag Heuer, Armani, PokerStars, Samsung, Unilever, Louis Vuitton a mnoha dalšími.Mezi sportovce-miliardáře ale vynesla Ronalda především smlouva v saúdskoarabském Al-Nassru, kde vydělává neuvěřitelných 300 liber za minutu (8500 korun). Za každou hodinu mu tedy naskočí na účet přes půl milionu korun, za den je pak bohatší o 12,2 milionu korun. Portugalec navíc vlastní podíl v samotném klubu, což ještě více zvyšuje jeho už tak astronomické jmění.Víc než lukrativní příjmy v Saúdské Arábii je však pro Ronalda portugalská reprezentace.
