One of the reasons the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were attractive to Tom Brady is he was going to have plenty of help. In the NFC championship game, that was easy to see. In the second quarter, after the Green Bay Packers had tied the game 7-7, two straight great plays helped Tampa Bay take back the lead. On a third-and-9, Brady threw a desperation heave that hung up in the air for a long time. Because it was third down, it was worth taking a risky throw downfield.

For many Australians, Google is the internet. It’s where we get much of our news. It’s where we find and plan our holidays. It’s where we go to shop for gifts online. But in light of a proposed media code that would require the tech giant to pay local news media companies for their product, Google is threatening to end the relationship.

It’s hard to bet against Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers, after… Source link

Things are not going well for the Duke men’s basketball team right now. They’re 5-5 and dropped their third straight game on Saturday night with a 70-65 loss to Louisville.
