Garrett Wilson, the wide receiver for the New York Jets , has had his fair share of losses in his three seasons with the team . With 10 losses in his rookie year, another 10 last year, and a current count of 10 this season, the losing streak seems to be a constant. The most recent loss was on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins , where the Jets held a late lead but ultimately lost the game. "When you’re up in the fourth quarter, all of a sudden it starts to feel like you have a losing problem," Wilson said after the 32-26 overtime loss. "You have a gene or some (thing)." The Jets' fans are understandably frustrated as the team (3-10) has missed the postseason for 14 straight years, marking the longest active drought in the NFL . This unfortunate record also surpasses any franchise in the NBA, WNBA, NHL or MLB.

"So when you stack up those L's, that's obviously not where anybody in this building wants to be. That's not anybody's standard at all." The Jets are setting some unwanted records. They have lost a franchise-worst five games in which they held a fourth-quarter lead, and they've done it in three straight games. Thet now has nine consecutive losing seasons, which is also the longest active skid in the NFL. Despite Aaron Rodgers delivering what interim coach Jeff Ulbrich called his "best performance of the season", the Jets couldn't savor the moment. The 41-year-old quarterback ended a 34-game regular-season streak without 300 passing yards by throwing for 339 yards and a touchdown to Davante Adams. Yet it wasn't enough to secure victory due to costly errors from the defense and special teams, especially when holding a late lead. "I wouldn’t say more frustrating, but probably equally frustrating," Ulbrich expressed about the defeat. “There has been, in my opinion, seven games that have come down to the end of the game and have been within one score and we didn’t get it done, and for a lot of different reasons when you look at the span of that seven games. But we haven’t been good enough in those moments, and we need to be.” Despite expectations, the Jets' aerial offense with Rodgers hadn't been as dynamic until recently, possibly aided by Rodgers overcoming leg injuries. His 300-yard performance against Miami showcased a vintage four-time MVP, leading the Jets to their best total yardage of the season. "I thought he did a very good job, and obviously the statistics would support that," Ulbrich said. "He had an excellent day. I thought the offense had probably their best performance of the year."

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Attorneys for Meta shareholders asked a Delaware judge Monday to sanction the company's former Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and fellow Facebook board member and current White House chief of staff Jeff Zients for deleting emails related to the Cambridge Analytica privacy scandal , despite being told to preserve such records. The plaintiff attorneys contend that Sandberg and Zients used personal email accounts to communicate about key issues relating to their 2018 shareholder lawsuit that alleged Facebook officers and directors violated both the law and their fiduciary duties in failing for years to protect the privacy of user data. “Although Sandberg and Zients received a litigation hold requiring them to preserve documents from these accounts, they both knowingly and permanently destroyed electronically stored information from such sources,” attorneys said in a court filing. The plaintiffs say the former board members were either “reckless or intentional” in destroying documents, noting that Sandberg deleted communications to and from her Gmail account after only 30 days, even after being notified of the “litigation hold” to preserve documents. Zients never disabled an auto-delete function on his email account, even though he, too, received a litigation hold and consulted with lawyers, they said. The plaintiffs argue that Sandberg and Zients should be prohibited from testifying about information they sent or received using their personal email accounts. They also say the burden of proof for any affirmative defense they present should be raised to a standard of “clear and convincing evidence,” instead of the lower standard of a “preponderance” of the evidence. Sandberg was deposed last week. Plaintiff attorney Max Huffman said Zients is “busy” and will be deposed in February “after there’s an effective transition in Washington.” Defense attorney Berton Ashman described the email deletions as “unfortunate” but argued that the plaintiffs have not shown that they were prejudiced in any way. “There’s no intent here to destroy relevant or responsive information,” Ashman told Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster, adding that there no “trove of missing emails.” “There’s no grand scheme or suggestion of bad behavior,” he added. Ashman said the vast majority of emails that Sandberg and Zients sent or received using their personal accounts were also received by other individuals at Facebook. He suggested that any emails that may have been deleted have been made available to the plaintiffs from other sources at Facebook. Huffman, the plaintiffs’ lawyer, said Sandberg does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. “She unilaterally controlled what was kept and what was destroyed,” he told the judge. Laster, who is scheduled to preside over a non-jury trial in April, said he wanted to see a transcript of Sandberg’s deposition before ruling on the motion for sanctions. Last year, the judge rejected a defense motion arguing that the lawsuit should be dismissed because the plaintiffs did not first demand that Facebook’s board take legal action before filing litigation themselves. He agreed with the plaintiffs that such a demand would have been futile because of doubts that a majority of the relevant Facebook board members, many with close personal and business ties to Mark Zuckerberg, would be willing to confront the CEO and founder of the company over its privacy failures. Laster noted that, in deciding on a motion to dismiss, he was required to accept the allegations in the complaint as true. The complaint alleges that Facebook officials repeatedly and continually violated a 2012 consent order with the Federal Trade Commission under which Facebook agreed to stop collecting and sharing personal data on platform users and friends without their consent. Facebook later sold user data to commercial partners in direct violation of the consent order and removed disclosures from privacy settings that were required under consent order, the lawsuit alleges. The company’s conduct resulted in significant fines from regulators in Europe and culminated in the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2018. That case involved a British political consulting firm hired by Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign that paid a Facebook app developer for the personal information of tens of millions Facebook users. The fallout led to Facebook agreeing to pay unprecedented $5 billion penalty to settle FTC charges that the company violated the 2012 consent order by deceiving users about their ability to protect their personal information.Manchester City face yet another must-win match on Sunday when they take Manchester United at the Etihad. Sunday’s is a chance for Pep Guardiola’s side to get one over on their arch-rivals and also an opportunity for them to snap out of their recent poor run. They enter Sunday’s match with one win in their past ten games, which is unheard of during their era of dominance. They will enter Sunday’s match with only three senior defenders available for selection. Ruben Dias, Kyle Walker and Josko Gvardiol are available for the derby. However, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake and Rico Lewis will all . Their absence will force Pep Guardiola to think outside of the box to cover the loss of four crucial players. But in a run of games where it has appeared that nothing has worked perhaps an idea from left field could spark the world champions back to life. How Pep Guardiola covers the loss of almost the entire defence is now something to watch for ahead of Sunday’s match. Does Jahmai Simpson-Pusey start alongside Ruben Dias? That would allow Manchester City to start with their traditional back four. Or will the City manager try something completely out of left field? Perhaps Matheus Nunes will start at right-back as a wing-back and allow Guardiola to start with a back three? That idea has merit but the question of who will start on the left-hand side of that formation would still be unanswered. Perhaps playing Nunes at right-back and Gvardiol at left-back with Walker and Dias at centre-back might be Pep’s best move for Sunday’s match. An idea from outside the box may help Manchester City spark to life at the Etihad. The tried and true just hasn’t resulted in a change of City’s fortunes of late. Whatever Pep Guardiola decides to do with his defensive make up on Sunday his team must pick up all three points against Manchester United. The world champions need a win to revive their stuttering Premier League campaign. A win over their arch rivals may also spark Manchester City back to life. Perhaps trying something different could prove to be the catalyst for that to occur at the Etihad.

Olympic cyclist Rohan Dennis has pleaded guilty to driving recklessly before the death of his wife and fellow Olympian Melissa Hoskins. Mr Dennis made the shock admission at Adelaide Magistrates Court on Tuesday, almost a year on from the date of the horrific incident. Mr Dennis was behind the wheel of a dark grey Volkswagen Amarok when he hit Ms Hoskins on December 30, 2023 about 8pm outside their leafy home in Adelaide’s inner-north. Ms Hoskins, 32, suffered serious injuries in the crash and paramedics took her to Royal Adelaide Hospital for further treatment. She died at the hospital. Police arrested Mr Dennis that weekend and charged him with cause death by dangerous driving and aggravated driving without due care. Those charges were dropped on Tuesday and replaced with a single new charge of aggravated creating likelihood of harm. Mr Dennis admitted to driving a motor vehicle without lawful excuse when Ms Hoskins was on or in close proximity to that vehicle, knowing that act was likely to cause harm to another and being recklessly indifferent to whether such harm was caused. Former Olympic cyclist Rohan Dennis pleaded guilty to a lesser charge after the death of his wife Melissa Hoskins. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Brenton Edwards Melissa Dennis (nee Hoskins) pictures from Memorial Service The clean-cut Olympic medallist, dressed in a sharp suit, stood quietly in the dock before Magistrate Justin Wickens and said “guilty” as the charge was read out to him. The maximum penalty for the offence is seven years in prison. Jane Abbey KC, appearing for Mr Dennis, told the court her client was not being held responsible for Ms Hoskins’ death. “There was no intention of Mr Dennis to harm his wife and this charge does not charge him with responsibility for her death,” she said. Mr Dennis’s change of fortune has been swift and shocking. Just three years ago, he stood on a podium in Tokyo and celebrated his place in sporting history as an individual Olympic medallist. He first achieved fame at the 2012 London Olympics, nabbing a silver medal in the 4000m team pursuit on the cycling track. At Brazil in 2016, he finished in fifth place in the individual time trial, but perhaps his crowning achievement is his bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics on July 28, 2021. In memorable scenes at the Fuji International Speedway, he clinched the medal with a time of 56:08.09. Speaking at the time, Mr Dennis said he had done “everything possible” to take home the gold. “Obviously would’ve been great to get the gold but I’ve done everything possible to be in this position and I was just beaten by two better guys on the day, so can be proud of everything myself and the team have achieved,” he said. In 2017, he became engaged to Ms Hoskins, a fellow Olympian. Melissa Hoskins and Rohan Dennis. Picture: Instagram Ms Hoskins competed in the London and Rio Olympics in track cycling. She only just missed out on a medal in London, finishing fourth in the 3000m team pursuit category. In Rio, she finished fifth position in the 4000m team pursuit. In 2018, the pair married, and would settle into a home in up-market Medindie with their two children. In 2022, Mr Dennis won a gold medal at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in the UK. In 2023, he retired from cycling, thanking Ms Hoskins for her support in a heartfelt post to social media. “Thank you Melissa Dennis for supporting me throughout my entire professional career, all while raising two of the best kids I could ever ask for,” he said. Melissa’s father Peter, mother Amanda and sister Jessica released a statement on January 2 expressing their heartache at her death. “Words cannot convey our grief, sadness and the tragic circumstances of Melissa’s passing,” Mr Hoskins wrote on behalf of the family. “Myself, Amanda, Jess and families are utterly devastated and still struggling to process what has happened. “Not only have we lost a daughter and sister, her children have lost their mum, a freewheeling spirit, a giver with a big heart, patience and zest for life.” Hundreds of mourners gathered to farewell the world-class cyclist at a public service in Adelaide on February 24.
