28200 | Damien Penaud leads historic rout of Italy as France confirm progress in style
For us, after a World Cup final against New Zealand [on opening night], our game next Sunday will be a second final.”
For Kieran Crowley, Galthié’s opposite number, his Italy tenure ends in profound disappointment, although crushing defeats by the All Blacks and now the hosts are offset by victories against Namibia and Uruguay.
“I’ve said before, I’d like to take this team forward,” he said. “I think the next World Cup is our cycle … we’ll get to the next tournament, and a lot of these players will have 60, 70 caps. But that wasn’t my decision.
“What needs to happen is that these players need to be treated with a bit of respect off the field … They [the Italian Rugby Federation] need to get some of that stuff sorted. Quite honestly, I don’t know if I’d want to be involved unless that gets sorted. I respect these guys, these players and staff. They’ve gone way beyond … and yet people will judge us on these last two games. |

Damaging setbacks have arrived with regularity for France, most notably Antoine Dupont’s fractured cheekbone. But the prop Cyril Baille had returned from injury in the thrashing of Namibia, along with the estimable Jonathan Danty in midfield, and both started against Italy. |

In addition to Altman’s return, its new “initial” board will include former Salesforce chief executive Bret Taylor, former US Secretary of the Treasury Larry Summers and Quora founder Adam D’Angelo.
We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo. We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this. — OpenAI (@OpenAI) November 22, 2023
Altman also posted about the new deal, giving some insight into the roller coaster that we’ve all been riding since his firing was revealed Friday. In his words, his decision to join Microsoft on Sunday “was the best path for me and the team.” Since then, the new board’s composition and Microsoft’s support appear to have been enough to bring him back to the AI company he co-founded. |

28280 | Amidst Managerial Shake-Ups, These 5 MLB Teams Are Looking for a New Leader: Who Are the Top Candidates?
2023 has been a topsy-turvy year for many teams. While some have outshone others, these 5 teams are at a crossroads, with a common stifling problem. Amid the heavy restructuring that many of the MLB teams have seen of late, there are pentagonal vacancies for managers. The New York Mets, the Los Angeles Angels, the Houston Astros, the Cleveland Guardians, and the San Diego Padres are in dire need of filling up the managerial position as the year ends.
America’s Favorite Video Today
While some team representatives skim through names within the MLB world, some hope to look for an outside hire. It could be a risky state for all of them. Nevertheless, there are many possibilities and roadblocks one might encounter. Be it budgetary issues, past performance, or availability of candidates, these teams have not had success in putting a pin on one candidate. That said, the skipper market is abuzz! |
