Tommy DeVito the biggest Giants storyline to watch in preseason finale
Three things to watch in the Giants’ final preseason game against the Jets on Saturday. 1. Last year’s out-of-nowhere fan favorite, Tommy DeVito, is expected to get most — if not all — of the snaps at quarterback.

Giants’ Dexter Lawrence is eager for real, no red t-shirt quarterback hits ahead of preseason finale 2. Undersized (6-foot-0, 278 pounds) and undrafted defensive tackle Elijah Chatman drew praise for his chase-down tackle of Texans running back J.J. Taylor during the second preseason game.

Democrats handwave a real election threat: illegal migrants voting
As the November election draws ever closer, a familiar theme is emerging: election integrity. Thursday saw the Supreme Court reverse a judge’s strikedown of an Arizona law requiring election officials to reject any state voter-registration forms submitted without proof of citizenship. But how on earth did we even get to the point that this was a problem? Because Democrats have done everything they can for years to pretend that what is euphemistically called “noncitizen voting” is simply not a problem. First, some grim numbers. Cheryl Hines trolled online online after husband’s Trump endorsement States across the nation have over the past decade stricken tens of thousands...
What is New York’s Office of Cannabis Management smoking?
New York’s legal-pot disaster just keeps on getting more disastrous: The state’s Cannabis Control Board, a chief regulatory overseer in the sector, is considering relaxing the ban on legal pot shops being closer to each other than 1,000 feet. What are they smoking? Gov. Hochul was supposed to have cleaned house over at the Office of Cannabis Management, CCB’s parent agency, with a desperately needed probe. But judging by this latest brainstorm, OCM is still a dysfunctional madhouse. No shocker, really: The progressive goofballs in charge there completely bungled the state’s legal weed rollout by favoring former crooks for licenses, which resulted in...

Italian prosecutors open shipwreck and manslaughter investigation into Bayesian yacht sinking
Prosecutors in Italy confirmed Saturday they opened a shipwreck and manslaughter investigation into the deadly sinking of the Bayesian superyacht, which killed a British tech tycoon and his daughter. “We are only in the initial phase of the investigation. We can’t exclude any sort of development at present,” Termini Imerese prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio said. No suspect has been identified in the tragedy, which left seven people dead, Cartosio added. The probe will focus on how a vessel deemed “unsinkable” by its manufacturer, Italian shipyard Perini Navi, went under while a nearby sailboat remained largely unscathed. There is no information yet about the ship’s black box — and authorities...

The ex-pilot Alaska Airlines who allegedly tried to crash a plane while tripping on magic mushrooms while off duty wants to fly again. Joseph Emerson, 44, said the October incident that initially landed him with 83 counts of attempted murder and brought an end to his career in the cockpit was the biggest mistake of his life. “Of course I want to fly again.

Shohei Ohtani joins 40-40 club in epic fashion with walk-off grand slam
LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani is baseball’s fastest 40-40 man. The Japanese superstar blasted a two-out grand slam in the ninth inning for his 40th homer after earlier stealing his 40th base, lifting the Dodgers to a 7-3 win over the Rays on Friday night.

Gavin Newsom jokes about Kamala Harris landing nomination without primary, laughs he was ‘told’ to call it inclusive
California Gov. Gavin Newsom joked about the process that landed Vice President Kamala Harris the Democratic presidential nomination, saying in an interview posted Friday that he was “told to say” it was an open, inclusive process. President Biden’s blockbuster announcement last month that he was ending his re-election bid for a second term in the White House resulted in Harris replacing him at the top of the ticket. She has since enjoyed a surge in polling and fundraising, but never received a vote as the Democratic Party quickly embraced her to lead the ticket. Critics of the Democratic Party have suggested Harris...
Mets take brutal loss to Padres as Paul Blackburn exits early with hand injury
SAN DIEGO — A bad night for the Mets turned potentially brutal as Paul Blackburn sat on the mound in Friday’s third inning examining his right hand.

Blackburn’s pitching hand, as he shielded his head, caught the brunt of Peralta’s line drive, forcing him to depart on a night that was already worth forgetting, with the Padres on his pitches almost from the start. The Mets lost 7-0 at...
