Now on to sports. Is baseball next? for Kyler
Murray? It is hard to envision another national
football lead team giving up much for him, let
alone assuring him a starting job. The Cardinals'
decision to name Jacoby Brissette their starting
quarterback did not matter in Week 10 against
a red -hot Seahawks team in Seattle. It is clear
the Arizona staff would rather bet its future
on Brissette than on Murray. the 2019 No. 1 draft
choice, earning seven times as much an annual
salary. Murray turns 29 before next season, and
the Major League Baseball's athletics own his
baseball rights. And if you are a fan of offense,
Monday night in Green Bay was ugly. The Philadelphia
Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers 10 -7 in
a tightly contested match at Lambeau Field. The
Eagles' chances of capturing the number one seed
rose to 33 % with this win. Jalen Hurts connected
with Devonta Smith for a 36 -yard touchdown pass,
helping the Eagles improve to 7 -2. Meanwhile,
the Packers struggled, scoring their first points
with just 5 minutes and 49 seconds left in the
game. They fell from first to third in the NFC
North standings with a record of . . . five wins,
three losses, and one tie in local sports. After
seven straight wins, the Patriots are no longer
just a scrappy surprise team, proving they are
the best team in the American football conference
heading into Week 11. Their recent victory over
the Buccaneers showcased their impressive potential,
with quarterback Drake May leading a balanced
offense. While the Colts and Broncos have similar
records, they still have much to prove, unlike
New England. In a significant coaching move,
Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over play
-calling duties, resulting in a solid win against
the commanders. Meanwhile, pressure mounts for
Falcons coach Raheem Morris as the team struggles
to find success. In top news, an observatory
detected the first radio signal from the interstellar
object. 3 -I Atlas, confirming its natural origin.
This signal, detected by Meerkat, a radio telescope
in South Africa, was not a technological transmission.
Instead, it showed lines of radio absorption
by hydroxyl radicals, consistent with typical
comet activity. Astrophysicist A. V. Loeb noted
that continued monitoring is necessary to determine
the nature of 3 -I Atlas. While some still speculate
about its origin, the detection has sparked public
interest in astrophysics. Mark your calendars
for December 19, when 3I Atlas reaches its closest
point to Earth. In business news, Warren Buffett,
the 95 -year -old chairman and chief executive
officer of Berkshire Hathaway, announced he is
going quiet in his annual Thanksgiving letter.
While he will continue writing messages to his
children and shareholders, he will no longer
write the annual shareholder letter once Greg
Abel takes over as chief executive at the end
of this year. Buffett expressed he generally
feels good, despite the effects of aging on his
balance, sight, hearing, and memory. He donated
shares valued at roughly $1 .3 billion to four
family foundations. Buffett remains optimistic
about Berkshire's future and discusses the importance
of philanthropy and succession planning. In crypto

back to the show. Let's talk science. Around
the world, the race is on to harness the near
-infinite power of nuclear fusion. In a small
town in the south of France, A scientific megaproject
is inching closer to solving global energy needs
by building a star on Earth. The project, called
ITER, aims to replicate the Sun's process of
fusion, which produces energy without carbon
emissions. Despite facing delays and skepticism
from some scientists, ITER has reached significant
milestones, including the successful installation

an exclusive exit interview, late -night host
Steph Colbert reflects on his cancellation from
