Yesterday on NFL 2025 Season: Week 17, Steelers visited Cleveland and lost against Browns 13-6, and with this loss Steelers fell to a 9-7 record and are still leading AFC North division and in playoffs zone
Steelers needed to win the game to get AFC North title and qualify to playoffs, but because Steelers’ loss and Ravens’ victory this couldn’t happen and Steelers will have to wait until last week of the season
In week 18, Steelers will play against Ravens where the winner of that game will win AFC North title and will qualify to playoffs, even than both teams have been playing a very bad football during the season
GIBBI View: This game showed us that Mike Tomlin would have to be fired — even if Steelers qualify to playoffs, because during Tomlin’s era when Steelers play against an underdog team or an important game, Steelers don’t prepare well the enough the game and most of the time the team losses the game, so let’s see if Mr. Rooney will do some changes in coach staff during off-season — I doubt it but I think that it’s time to do it

Amazon said on Sunday it has decided not to pursue plans to deliver ‌goods by drone in Italy, saying that while ‌it had made good progress with aerospace regulators, broader business regulatory issues did not support the project
The Italian civil aviation ⁠ENAC called the ‌decision unexpected, saying in a statement on Saturday the move ‍was motivated by company policy, linked to “recent financial events involving the Group”
The company had announced in December 2024 the successful completion ‌of initial tests of delivery drones in San Salvo, a town in the central Abruzzo region
GIBBI View: During this year I’ve reported here in my newsletter several news about drone delivery like that Wing & Walmart were bringing drone delivery to 100 new stores in june, India’s Rapido began testing food delivery in august and Uber was trying drone delivery again in september

Atlanta Falcons vs Los Ángeles Rams, tonight at 20:15 ET on Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta, Georgia)
Falcons: 6-9 record (3rd place on NFC South)
Rams: 11-4 record (3rd place on NFC West)
My Prediction:
- Rams win by 14+ points difference
GIBBI View: Falcons are eliminated but they still have something to play, because if Falcons win its last 2 games (Rams, Saints) they will eliminate Bucs — even if Bucs defeat Panthers in week 18; Rams can’t win the NFC West nor #1 seed NFC and they clinched #6 seed NFC

Why WeTransfer’s co-founder is building another file transfer service (TechCruch)

Dutch entrepreneur Nalden, who co-founded the platform in 2009, says he’s deeply unhappy with changes made since Bending Spoons — a Milan-based tech firm known for buying and restructuring popular apps — acquired the service last year
“Bending Spoons doesn’t really care about people. Even though I get that it is their private equity strategy, I notice that since I left [WeTransfer] in 2019, there were a lot of updates that were basically killing the product, in my point of view,” he told TechCrunch
After the acquisition, WeTransfer made unclear changes to how transfer links work and laid off 75% of its staff. This year, the company sparked controversy over employing its users’ content to train AI models and had to backtrack on changes to its terms
GIBBI View: During this year Bending Spoons has acquired a number of digital technology businesses, including Evernote, Vimeo, AOL, Eventbrite, Issuu, Meetup, Remini, StreamYard, Splice and WeTransfer. The company claims its products are currently used by more than 300 million people each month

Apple’s Cook doubles Nike stake, endorses CEO Hill’s turnaround push (Reuters)

Apple chief Tim Cook bought shares worth about $3 million in Nike, a move that nearly doubled his personal stake in the sportswear maker and signaled confidence in the turnaround strategy laid out by CEO Elliott Hill
Shares of the company closed 4.6% higher on Wednesday after a regulatory filing showed that Cook, who has been on Nike’s board since 2005, bought 50,000 shares at $58.97 each
It was the largest open market stock purchase for a Nike director or executive and possibly the largest in more than a decade, said Jonathan Komp, analyst at Baird Equity Research. “(We see) Cook’s move as a positive signal for the progress under CEO Elliott Hill and Nike’s ‘Win Now’ actions,” Komp said
GIBBI View: This is one of the benefits when you become a CEO of a big startup/company, where you’re paying a big salary and a big compensation stock packet where later you can claim and create your own investment porfolio to invest in the stock market
