NEW ORLEANS — The Jets added to their list of horrendous penalties Sunday with two penalties for having 12 men on the field. The first came in the opening quarter when they were flagged for an illegal substitution for having 12 men in the huddle. Then in the second quarter, they lined up with 12...
If this is truly Eli Manning’s Last Stand with the New York Football Giants, there is no doubt that the Eagles and their fans will be happy to see him go. But on a day when he threw for 434 yards, three touchdowns and an interception, when he scared the heck out of the Eagles...
Two powerful unions are demanding the City Council put the brakes on a proposal to create a sliding scale when awarding damages in construction-fatality cases. The bill, which is sponsored by outgoing Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, would allow judges to consider a “defendant’s financial resources” in determining penalties for construction violations that result in death...
Nick Foles did a pretty good Carson Wentz imitation Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Making his first start in 14 months, Foles threw four touchdowns to lead the Eagles to a 34-29 victory over the Giants. It was almost as if the Eagles did not miss their super second-year quarterback Wentz, who is out for the...
On Saturday, there was a notion Kristaps Porzingis — who is recovering from a sore left knee that he tweaked against the Nets — would be available to play against the Thunder. False alarm. Now for Monday’s game in Charlotte, where the Knicks will seek a fifth straight victory, Porzingis has officially been listed as...
First there was smoke, then more smoke. Now, is there fire? Despite all the attention TV and radio devotes to the NBA, what could become the story of the year has mostly eluded detection and inspection, thus has escaped discussion. Did superstar James Harden, with a record $228 million contract to play for the Houston...
On Halloween morning, the Rangers had three wins. That’s almost hard to fathom, and maybe it’s because these months leading up to the New Year go so fast, both inside and outside the NHL. So maybe it happened without too much fanfare that these Rangers beat the Golden Knights that evening at the Garden in...
The Giants were hurt Sunday by crowd noise, which is quite remarkable, considering they played at home, at MetLife Stadium. “You don’t think having that [at home], but I guess when you’ve only won two games, there’s a lot of Eagles fans and they were loud,’’ Eli Manning said. It was a surreal setting, with...
A former Queens doctor sued the city to gain access to her late husband’s autopsy records but was rebuffed — because she’s the one who killed him. Dr. Mazaltov Borukhova tried arguing that she had the right to review husband Daniel Malakov’s blood-sample results, as well as the ballistics testing and full toxicology report on...
After making his Nets debut Friday in Toronto, Jahlil Okafor will have to wait at least another game for his Brooklyn debut — or perhaps longer. Okafor did not play in Sunday’s 109-97 loss to the Pacers at Barclays Center, with Kenny Atkinson saying the newly acquired big man not only had to get in...
NEW ORLEANS — If you’d have told Jets coach Todd Bowles his defense would force three turnovers against the Saints’ prolific offense, he surely would have told you he expected to win. “When you get three turnovers … normally you win the ballgame,’’ Bowles said Sunday after the Jets lost 31-19 to the Saints at...
Republicans in the state Senate will remain in charge to negotiate a $153 billion budget early next year despite a plan backed by Gov. Cuomo for fractious Democrats to unify and create a slim majority, The Post has learned. That’s because conservative dissident Brooklyn Democratic state Sen. Simcha Felder will continue caucusing with the Republicans —...
Diddy wants to buy the Panthers and already knows what his first order of business would be. Cam Newton beware.

Spread the word....
Gov. Cuomo announced an $11.5 million plan Sunday to combat the notorious MS-13 gang by enrolling at-risk youth in social and educational programs.

NEW YORK — “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” will happily settle for second. Rian Johnson’s second installment in the third “Star Wars” trilogy rocketed to a debut of $220 million at the North American box office, according to studio estimates Sunday. That gives “The Last Jedi” the second-best opening ever, slotting in behind only its...

With just seven shopping days until Christmas, upbeat US consumers are spending their way to the best retail holiday shopping season in seven years. But shoppers will have to sprint to the finish for retailers to really celebrate a great end-of-year finish. Last year, Christmas week was the biggest sales week of the season —...
Gov. Cuomo wants workers who get tips to also be paid the full minimum wage, describing the issue Sunday as “a question of basic fairness.” As it stands under state law, tipped food-service workers receive a minimum wage of $7.50 an hour and other tipped service workers are paid $9.15 an hour — compared to...
An 89-year-old woman is in critical condition after a car crash near Brooklyn’s famed “Dyker Lights” holiday-light displays, according to police.

“Star Wars” star Mark Hamill and Sen. Ted Cruz crossed swords over net neutrality on Twitter Sunday — with the pair sparring over whether movie baddie Darth Vader would support the regulations and Hamill landing a dig at the senator’s infamous Twitter porn gaff. It started when Hamill, famous for portraying series hero Luke Skywalker,...
A former aide to Mayor de Blasio is throwing a monkey wrench into a Gov. Cuomo-backed deal to unify two Democratic factions in the fractured state Senate — one that has left Republicans in charge of the chamber, The Post has learned. Under tentative power sharing agreement, eight renegade members of the Independent Democratic Caucus...
A Mercedes-Benz has been sitting abandoned on a Brooklyn street for more than a year — simply racking up tickets on its windshield while spawning its own Twitter page. Traffic agents have issued the orphaned ML 320 at Myrtle Avenue next to Fort Green Park some 15 parking tickets totaling $825 — all of which...
After being inactive for four straight games, this wasn’t the greatest of games for troubled Giants cornerback Eli Apple, but at least he didn’t get himself in a Twitter storm as he did from the sidelines last Sunday or in a major disagreement with safety Landon Collins as he did during the week. Perhaps this...
A Brooklyn Nets fan who was dissed by a snarky Mayor de Blasio over the team’s performance says he has the perfect way for Hizzoner to make amends — come to a game with him. “At this point, he needs to redeem himself — he should be right in front where the team can look...
