Browns players call out 49ers' Jauan Jennings: 'I see why he got punched'

Nearly one week after he was at the center of a heated confrontation with an opponent,San Francisco 49erswide receiver Jauan Jennings once again has drawn the ire of multiple members of another team.

After the49ers' 26-8 win over the Cleveland Brownson Sunday,Brownsdefensive tackle Shelby Harris alleged that Jennings crossed a line with his remarks while defensive tackle Maliek Collins was injured. Collins left the game in the third quarter with a knee injury and did not return.

"He says some things that you should not say to a man, ever," Harris, who did not elaborate on the nature of Jennngs' comments, told reporters after the game. "But I don't respect it because you say that (and) then run behind your O-line. That's some real soft (expletive), and I want that known.

"I see why they punched your (groin). I'm surprised nobody punched him in the jaw yet."

Collins' remark referenced Carolina Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig punching Jennings in the groin area toward the end of the49ers' win on Nov. 24. Moehrig, who was suspended for one game for the incident, said the receiver was "talking crazy" during the game.

"He had a lot to say that was demeaning and disparaging toward some of our players," Browns defensive end Myles Garrett said of Jennings. "I was just trying to separate everybody. I tried to go up and ask what the problem was, and he started coming at me. Some guys just roll like that. I don't feel like that belongs in the game, but if that works for them, then hey, more power to them."

Jennings hauled in a fourth-quarter touchdown to extend the 49ers' lead and help put the game out of reach.

Lane Kiffin talks regret, who told him to 'take the shot' before boarding private jet to LSU

Marty Smith may have residency in Oxford, Mississippi after coveringthe Lane Kiffin saga.

The ESPN reporter, who spent nearly all of Saturday and Sunday at theOle Missfootball facility,got a 3-minute interviewwith Kiffin before the former Rebels coach boarded a private jet set for Baton Rouge totake his next chapter as LSU football coach.

Kiffin reiterated his desire to coach Ole Miss in the upcomingCollege Football Playoff, but Mississippi athletic director Keith Carter decided against it andpromoted defensive coordinator Pete Goldingto head coach in Kiffin's place.

"It was really difficult. This has been a really special place. Six years here," Kiffin told Smith. "I know there are a lot of feelings and emotions around right now. I hope when they settle down that there's an appreciation about what we were able to do here and having the best run that's ever been done in the history of the school.  Brought some exciting times. I'm so appreciative of the people of Oxford and the relationships that I developed here… Just prayed a lot. Made a family decision and hopefully get a chance to go impact a whole new set of people."

Lane Kiffin says CFP decision came down to Ole Miss AD Keith Carter 'has to live here'

Kiffin told Smith he wasn't part of Sunday's meeting between Carter and the school's chancellor, at Carter's request.

"I totally respect Keith's decision… He asked me not to come to the meeting, which I totally understand," Kiffin said. "I don't know that I necessarily agree, we're trying to find a way to make this work and coach the team and give the team the best chance to win... He's got a job to do, and like he said, he has to live here. So maybe all the national people understand why he should let me be able to coach, but he has to live here, and it's a little different when you're the AD, so totally respect that. And Keith has been amazing to us over the six years."

Lane Kiffin said mentors helped push him to LSU

"My heart was here (Oxford), but I talked to some mentors, coach (Pete) Carroll, coach (Nick) Saban, you know, and especially when coach Carroll said, 'Your dad would tell you to go. Take the  shot. Take the shot. You've accomplished a lot here.' I always felt I always hated how we gave one year to Tennessee and then left. I really hated that feeling of that. Even though it was exciting, but I think we gave a lot to this program and to this city, and some of the most historic wins in this stadium they've ever had and best regular season in the history of the school, so I feel proud of that part. But it just became time, you know, talked to God and he told me it's time to take a new step. It's a new chapter."

McLaughlin-Levrone, Duplantis win World Athlete of the Year titles

MONACO (AP) —Sydney McLaughlin-Levroneand Armand "Mondo" Duplantis have won the World Athlete of the Year titles for 2025.

The international governing body for track and field announced the winners Sunday at ceremony in Monaco, with McLaughlin-Levrone also winning the women's track award and pole vault world-record holder Duplantis winning the men's field events award.

McLaughlin-Levrone has been undefeated for two years in both the400 meters and the 400-meter hurdles, an event where she's on a 24-race winning streak.

She won the 400 at the world champions in Tokyo, breaking a 42-year-old championship record and setting the second-fastest time ever. That made her the first athlete to win world titles at both the 400 and 400-meter hurdles.

"The culmination of the season in Tokyo was a really special moment," McLaughlin-Levrone said. "I'm so thankful for everyone who supported, watched, voted and who was there throughout this whole process.

"For me, 2025 was a year of stepping outside of the comfort zone and pushing the bounds of what was mentally and physically possible. I want to continue pushing boundaries in 2026."

Duplantis set four world pole vault records, each by 1-centimeter increments, and was unbeaten in 16 competitions in 2025, including world titles.

"I hope to keep pushing it. I hope to keep irritating everyone who has to vote for me for years to come!" Duplantis said. "It's really important for me to win this for the field eventers. It's very special, I'm going to really cherish this one."

Asia's factories stumble as US trade deals fail to revive demand

Dec 1 (Reuters) - Asia's manufacturing powerhouses struggled with sluggish demand in November, extending declines in factory activity as progress in U.S. trade negotiations ​failed to translate into a significant recovery in orders.

A raft of purchasing managers' indexes (PMIs)‌ on Monday showed diverging conditions across the region, with China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan all reporting declines in ‌activity while Southeast Asian economies mostly saw growth.

In China, the world's largest manufacturer, factory activity slipped back into contraction, a private-sector PMI showed, a day after Beijing's official measure showed activity falling for the eighth consecutive month albeit at a slower pace.

"Container throughput at Chinese ports was little changed last month compared ⁠to October. To the extent that ‌demand did improve, it didn't do much to support production amid already high inventory levels - the output component dropped to a four-month low,"‍ said Zichun Huang, China economist at Capital Economics.

"And while the output price component edged up slightly, it stayed at a low level, pointing to persistent deflationary pressures."

Across Asia this year, businesses in major exporting nations have ​been scrambling to navigate the uncertainty created by U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs.

While Trump'‌s trade deals with countries like Japan and South Korea and lowered tensions with China have given firms some confidence, many are still adjusting to the new U.S. trade reality.

Japan's PMI showed new orders continued to decline, stretching the downturn to two-and-a-half years, blamed on factors such as a sluggish global business environment, tighter client budgets and subdued capital investment.

Official data on Monday also showed Japanese corporate spending ⁠on factories and equipment rose 2.9% in July-​September versus the same period a year prior, slowing from the ​previous quarter.

South Korea's factory activity contracted for a second month in November, though a finalised trade deal with the United States brought some clarity for manufacturers.

Separate data showed Korean ‍exports rose in November for ⁠a sixth consecutive month, beating market expectations, as chip sales hit a record on strong technology demand while autos also jumped after a U.S. trade deal.

Taiwan's PMI showed factory activity ⁠continued to fall, but at a slower pace.

Meanwhile, Asia's emerging-market manufacturers remained outperformers with Indonesia and Vietnam both ‌reporting brisk growth in factory activity and Malaysia swinging back to growth.

The injured firefighters were taken by ambulance to a hospital, officials said.

"We are asking for prayers for our four injured firefighters," Patrick M. "Marty" Lancton, president of the Houston Professional Fire Fighters Association, said in asocial media post.
