Cavs’ Jarrett Allen puts a ‘twist’ on giving back with 9th annual Meals + Math Thanksgiving event
One week before Thanksgiving, Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen hosted his ninth annual Meals + Math event, a community initiative that gives back and teaches the importance of financial literacy. Twenty-five children from Breakthrough Schools’ Willard and Woodland Hills campuses received $200 gift cards to purchase groceries at Giant Eagle. “We give them Thanksgiving shopping, but the twist is we give them a budget,” Allen said before his event began. “They’re gonna go around the grocery store with a shopping list and pick everything, but if they go over the limit, we’re gonna scold ’em a little bit (laughs).” Each student also had a calculator with a sample sheet as a guide. “They need an adult to shop with them,” Allen said. “Some of these kids, they have 12 cases of soda, they’re gonna go straight to the chips and cookies aisle (laughs). That’s why we give them a list to try and dial them back in. But I’m just smiling with them. They’re having a good time. They’re learning. I’m having a good time seeing them have a good time.” Meals + Math Last week, for his ninth annual event, Jarrett Allen (@_bigjayy_) provided 25 children from Breakthrough Schools with Thanksgiving groceries and lessons in budgeting.

Now, we have a bunch of sponsors, the Cavs are helping. We have a great grocery store to help us out. Now, it’s just running a lot smoother.” Allen shared that his mother, Cheryl, who was in attendance, inspired him to help others in need. “She used to make us go volunteer at food drives,” Allen said. “When I was younger, it’d be like, ‘Oh, it’s such a chore.’ We’d have to load things and some boxes to hand them out. But now, looking back, understanding the importance of it, I’m glad that she did.” Aside from mom’s influence, Allen’s goal is to show the kids that people care about them. “They see a lot on TV,” Allen said. “That, ‘Oh, this kid gets a handout.’ It’s one of those things like, why not me? Why not this kid to go out and have somebody help them? And honestly, to have fun. “There was a kid next to me that was like, ‘This is the best day of my life!’ And we haven’t even started shopping yet.” Allen may be close to returning to the court for the Cavaliers. Cleveland is in action on Friday night against the Atlanta Hawks.

Giants’ Jaxson Dart breaks silence on Brian Daboll firing
The New York Giants decided to fire Brian Daboll as head coach after the team’s 24-20 Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears. Since then, rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart hasn’t said much about the organization’s decision. Until now. While talking with media members on Friday, the 22-year-old quarterback praised Daboll for his coaching throughout the offseason and through the team’s first games this year, according to Art Stapleton of USA Today. Dart credits his former head coach for helping him develop and learn as he begins his NFL career. “Obviously, there’s been a lot that’s happened since I’ve been up here. I just wanted to acknowledge coach [Daboll], and all that he did for me,” said Jaxson Dart. “When I look back on everything, you know, it’s really special to come to a place where a coach genuinely cares about you and loves you and have that personal relationship on and off the field. I just have all the respect in the world for him.” Jaxson Dart opens his presser with his reaction to Brian Daboll’s firing pic.twitter.com/Eraso2FNXO — Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) November 28, 2025 The former first-round pick has missed the Giants’ previous two games as he’s been dealing with a concussion he suffered in Week 10. So, he’s been unavailable to the media for that reason, which is why he hadn’t been able to talk about Daboll’s firing until now. After being a full participant in practices throughout the week leading up to the Week 13 game against the New England Patriots, Jaxson Dart is expected to finally return to the starting lineup. Dart has played in nine games this season, starting in seven. He’s managed to record 1,417 passing yards, 317 rushing yards, and 17 total touchdowns (10 passing) while completing 62.7% of his pass attempts.
