MOBILE — Giants GM Joe Schoen revisited contract talks with Saquon Barkley’s agents early this week and said they will keep working to “move closer” on the running back’s value. “We had some initial talks earlier this week with his representatives, so when I get back in the office next week, we’ll continue to have conversations with them,” Schoen said at the Senior Bowl. “With any negotiation, you just gotta move closer, and that’s what we’ll try to do next week.” Schoen also said “we haven’t started conversations” with quarterback Daniel Jones’ representatives but reiterated “we want Daniel back.” When asked if he wants to sign Jones long-term, Schoen said both the Giants and Jones’ camp needed to present their initial numbers before he can discuss that. “Once we get into it, in terms of years, contract structure, finances — I’m not really sure where they’re gonna be or what they’re gonna be asking for,” Schoen said. “We’re still working on where we’d be willing to start. … [Read more...] about Joe Schoen & Saquon Barkley’s reps still trying to ‘move closer’ as Daniel Jones negotiations lurk

INQUIRER.net / Jerome Cristobal MANILA, Philippines—Almost 50 percent of the population is optimistic that life will improve in the next 12 months, but Filipinos who are deep in poverty and are experiencing severe hunger are less likely to believe that life will get better. As shown in the latest survey by the Social Weather Stations (SWS), Net Personal Optimism was only +29 among respondents who belong to households who experienced severe hunger and +37 among those who are among poor households. This, even if optimism improved by four percentage points in the last quarter of 2022 from 45 percent in the previous quarter. Pessimists—those who believe that life will worsen—comprised five percent, while 37 percent said life will stay the same.

James needs 89 more points to eclipse Abdul-Jabbar's long-standing record NEW YORK — LeBron James said on Tuesday it's only a "matter of time" before he passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the greatest scorer in NBA history after edging closer to the long-standing NBA record. James' 28-point triple-double in the Los Angeles Lakers' win over the New York Knicks means the 38-year-old superstar needs just 89 more points to eclipse Abdul-Jabbar's mark of 38,387. At his current rate of scoring, James is on target to pass Abdul-Jabbar next Tuesday when the Lakers host the Oklahoma City Thunder. James said on Tuesday, however, that the prospect of making NBA history is not weighing heavily on him as his date with destiny looms ever closer. "No, it's not getting heavier, because I'm going to do it," James told reporters. "I mean, it's just a matter of time when I'm going to do it. "I'm not going anywhere — I'm going to be in this league for at least a few more years, so I'm going to … [Read more...] about ‘Matter of time’ before scoring record falls — LBJ
