Elon Musk, known for his visionary leadership in the realms of technology and space exploration, has often been hailed as a modern-day innovator and entrepreneur.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday said a rape allegation against rapper Jay-Z won't impact the league's relationship with Roc Nation, the music mogul's company that has produced some of the NFL's entertainment presentations, including the Super Bowl halftime show. "We're aware of the civil allegations and Jay-Z's really strong response to that," Goodell said after the conclusion of the league's winter meetings in Irving, Texas. "We know the litigation is happening now. From our standpoint, our relationship is not changing with them, including our preparations for the next Super Bowl." A woman who previously sued Sean "Diddy" Combs, alleging she was raped at an awards show after-party in 2000 when she was 13 years old, amended the lawsuit Sunday to include a new allegation that Jay-Z was also at the party and participated in the sexual assault. Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, said the rape allegation made against him is part of an extortion attempt. The 24-time Grammy Award winner called the allegations "idiotic" and "heinous in nature" in a statement released by Roc Nation. The NFL teamed up with Jay-Z's Roc Nation in 2019 for events and social activism. The league and the entertainment company extended their partnership a few months ago. "I think they're getting incredibly comfortable with not just with the Super Bowl but other events they've advised us on and helped us with," Goodell said. "They've been a big help in the social justice area to us on many occasions. They've been great partners." Kendrick Lamar will perform the Super Bowl halftime show at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9. Roc Nation and Emmy-winning producer Jesse Collins will serve as co-executive producers of the halftime show. Beyoncé, who is married to Jay-Z, will perform at halftime of the Baltimore Ravens-Houston Texans game on Christmas. The video in the player above is from a previous report.

2006 also saw Fabio Cannavaro, the Italian defender, being awarded the prestigious Ballon d'Or award for his outstanding contributions to the sport. Cannavaro, known for his leadership, defensive prowess, and tactical intelligence, played a pivotal role in Italy's World Cup triumph and was widely regarded as one of the best defenders of his generation. His Ballon d'Or win was a testament to his remarkable achievements on the pitch and his impact on the world of football.The Nasdaq Composite has been on fire over the past couple of years, driven higher by the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), improving economic conditions, an uncontested election, and the Federal Reserve Bank's recent moves to cut interest rates. After returning 43% in 2023, the tech-centric index is up roughly 30% in 2024. History suggests the rally will likely continue into 2025. The current bull market began on Oct. 12, 2022, and while every rally is different, history can provide important context. Bull markets last more than five years, on average. Since the current rally just entered its third year, there's a strong likelihood the Nasdaq will continue to gain ground next year. It's also worth noting that the Nasdaq has generated gains 73% of the time, dating back 53 years, so history is on the side of investors. Finally, the Nasdaq has jumped 12%, on average, in years following positive gains, which suggests there's additional upside ahead. Furthermore, there's been a resurgence in the popularity of stock splits over the past few years. As a result, investors are taking a renewed interest in companies that split their shares, as this is historically preceded by years of robust sales and profit growth. One such company is Nvidia ( NVDA -1.81% ) . The stock has gained 26,920% over the past decade (as of this writing), prompting management to initiate a 10-for-1 stock split earlier this year -- after a 4-for-1 split in 2021. Despite its recent run-up, there's reason to believe that Nvidia's growth spurt will continue into 2025. Read on to find out why. Underpinning the AI revolution The adoption of generative AI has spread like wildfire over the past two years as businesses are eager to share in the productivity increases promised by these advanced algorithms. Generative AI has proven adept at drafting and summarizing emails, searching and abbreviating content, mining data, generating original content, and writing computer code -- and new applications are being discovered every day. Automating and streamlining tasks saves users time and money, driving new users to adopt AI. Nvidia pioneered the graphics processing units (GPUs) that make this all possible. These specialized chips provide the sheer number-crunching capability that brought AI to life. The secret lies in parallel processing or breaking up computer-intensive jobs into smaller, more manageable bits. Nvidia first developed these chips to render lifelike images in video games but soon discovered other applications for this breakthrough technology, including data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), and machine learning -- an earlier branch of AI. The vast majority of AI processing is done in the cloud and in data centers, another factor that directly benefits Nvidia. The company controls as much as 98% of the data center GPU market, according to semiconductor analyst firm TechInsights. As evidenced by its entrenched position, Nvidia has become the gold standard for AI processing. There's always talk of ramping up competition, but thus far, Nvidia remains the king of the hill. Paint by numbers To understand the magnitude of Nvidia's rise, a look at its financial results is in order. After generating triple-digit sales and profit gains last year, the company's impressive win streak continues. During its fiscal 2025 third quarter (ended Oct. 27), Nvidia delivered record revenue of $35.1 billion, up 94% year over year. It also delivered earnings per share (EPS) of $0.78, up 111%. For context, the company generated more sales in one quarter than it produced for all of fiscal 2022. The biggest contributor to its success was the company's data center segment, which includes cloud computing, data center, and AI chips, and grew 112% year over year to $30.8 billion. Wall Street expects Nvidia's growth streak to continue. For its fiscal 2026 (which begins in late January), consensus estimates are calling for revenue of $195 billion, which would represent a year-over-year increase of 51%. However, the highest estimate clocks in at more than $269 billion, which would represent growth of more than 100%. Wall Street is notorious for underestimating Nvidia's growth, so the reality is likely somewhere in between. The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades Nvidia will begin shipping its next-generation Blackwell platform later this year, and by all accounts, the company has another market leader on its hands. Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya contends that investors continue to underestimate the magnitude of the demand for Blackwell, which he believes will be outselling Nvidia's Hopper chips within two to three quarters. There's also a big disconnect between Nvidia's addressable market and how investors perceive it: The analyst goes on to say that Nvidia bundles its software with these myriad systems. All these opportunities, taken together, help illustrate why Nvidia's addressable market continues to expand. Yet, for all that opportunity -- and despite its 183% gains so far this year -- Nvidia is still attractively priced. Wall Street believes Nvidia will generate EPS of $4.42 in fiscal 2026 (which begins in January). That means the stock is currently selling for roughly 32 times forward earnings (as of this writing), which is remarkably cheap in light of the opportunity. If I could buy just one stock-split stock heading into 2025, it would have to be Nvidia.

Georgia QB Carson Beck knocked out by hand injury in SEC championship game against Texas ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia quarterback Carson Beck will not return after he was hit on his throwing hand on the final play of an ugly first half in the Southeastern Conference championship game against Texas. Beck was hit by outside linebacker Trey Moore, forcing a fumble recovered by Anthony Hill Jr., who then lost the ball on an errant attempt to extend the play with a lateral as time expired.

(AP) — Joseph Paintsil and Dejan Joveljic scored in the first half, and the LA Galaxy won their record sixth MLS Cup championship with a 2-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls. After striking twice in the first 13 minutes with goals from their star forwards, the Galaxy nursed a lead through a scoreless second half to raise their league’s biggest trophy for the first time since 2014. Sean Nealis scored for the seventh-seeded Red Bulls, whose improbable charge through the playoffs ended one win shy of the founding MLS franchise’s first Cup championship. No. 16 Iowa State falls short in Big 12 title game again, this time with CFP at stake ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The stakes were higher for Iowa State, and the outcome was the same as the first for the Cyclones in their second trip to the Big 12 championship game. And the 112-year wait for a conference title will go on. No. 16 Iowa State was playing for a spot in the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff in a 45-19 loss to 12th-ranked Arizona State.

Lindsey Vonn competes in a pair of downhills, another step on her comeback trail at the age of 40 COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. (AP) — Lindsey Vonn finished in the middle of the pack in a pair of lower-level downhill events as she competed for the first time in nearly six years. The 40-year-old Vonn is on the comeback trail after stepping away from the sport because of injuries. Vonn wasn't concerned with times and places in the races so much as getting used to the speed again and gaining the necessary points to compete on the World Cup circuit. Vonn accomplished both, finishing 24th in the first downhill race of the day and 27th in the second. She posted on social media after the FIS races she had enough points to enter World Cup events. Justin Thomas with big drives and a few big putts takes 1-shot lead over Scheffler in the Bahamas NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Justin Thomas has a one-shot lead over Scottie Scheffler going into the final round of the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. Thomas is using a slightly longer driver and has been blasting away. He also was helped by two long putts on the back nine that carried him to 66 at windy Albany Golf Club. Scheffler muffed a chip on the 13th hole that cost him the lead and he never caught up. He still shot a 69 and will be in the last group with Thomas on Sunday. Tom Kim had a 62 and was two shots back. Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy gets restructured deal after 3-9 season, according to reports Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy will be staying on with a restructured deal. That's according to news reports published on Saturday. The deal reportedly will shift some of his salary to revenue sharing with players. The Cowboys were among the preseason favorites in the Big 12, but a rash of injuries and problems at quarterback tanked the team, and the Cowboys went 3-9. The school's Board of Regents held a special meeting on Friday morning regarding his status, but no immediate action was taken. The fact that Gundy has 169 wins in 20 years plus a hefty buyout likely saved him from being fired outright.

Queensland Hall of Fame trainer Pat Duff has passed away after succumbing to a health battle on Saturday night. The stalwart of Queensland racing was a popular horseman and became renowned for his willingness to mentor the next generation. Champion jockeys Mick Dittman, Michael Pelling and Jim Byrne all came through Duff’s tutelage with the trainer also well known for championing the case of female riders in the sport. Duff, 84, began his career in country racing after taking out his training license at 21 and trained his first ever winner at Wondai, three hours outside of Brisbane. He would also train at the Gold Coast, Toowoomba, Eagle Farm and privately at Peachester Lodge before finishing his career at Deagon. Trainer Pat Duff was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2022. Picture: Submitted • Old marvel: Duff keeps aiming up in pursuit of winners His son Michael said the family was proud of the legacy his father was able to leave on the industry following his passing. “The family is overwhelmed by the love shown to Dad,” Michael Duff said. “He loved horses, he loved the industry but most all he loved the people in it. He was a man of great integrity who did a job he loved for 60 years. “We are proud of the positive impact he had on so many people’s lives and the industry. Our thanks to everyone who has reached out it is appreciated.” Duff was the first to dethrone the legendary Jim Atkins as champion trainer at Toowoomba and had his best finish in the metropolitan premiership in 1990-91 when he ran second to Bruce McLachlan. Queensland Horse of the Year Our Cavalier rates among Duff’s best horses, along with the likes of Handsome Prince, Hard Rock, Star Of Florida, Heart Of The Citi, Hard To Catch and Steel Zip. Steel Zip became one of Pat Duff’s best horses. With an impeccable integrity record, Duff was highly regarded by all in racing and consistently went above and beyond for those who had fallen on hard times. He was the president of the Queensland arm of the Australian Trainers Association for almost 20 years, with the organisation recently honouring a trainer each year with the Pat Duff Trophy, for the trainer who best epitomises his values and behaviours each year. Duff’s stable has continued to be active while he has been in hospital following a hip replacement earlier this year, with his last runner coming at Toowoomba on Saturday night. His last winner came earlier this month, with Optimus Maximus winning at Ipswich on November 1. Duff is survived by his brother Cedric and children Peter, Michael and Suzy.
