It wasn’t a late hit, nor was it a blow to the head. How is this roughing? He got flagged for what officials deemed a low hit on this play: This kind of roughing penalty is intended to… Source link

The Chicago Bears defense came up with two big stops late on Sunday. But their offense couldn’t capitalize in a 26-23 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Judon appeared to push the official, and he then threw a punch that landed on the official’s right arm. From that video, it’s tough to tell whether Judon’s actions were intentional. It’s possible he blindly pushed at whoever was trying to… Source link

Google’s payments to Apple to promote its search engine in iPhones, iPads and Mac computers are at the center of the Department of Justice’s antitrust lawsuit against the tech giant. The suit alleges this creates a “continuous and self-reinforcing cycle of monopolization” by limiting which search engines consumers can use.
