Subscribe Monday, January 31, 2022 Remember your first bad breakup? I bet it was painfully brutal. The weeks full of tears. The instant anger at the sight of life itself. The endless worrying if your ex was already seeing someone else. The parking outside of their house from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. with the lights off to watch if they went anywhere (or was that… Source link

By Chad Terhune and Robin Respaut    (Reuters) – More than 100,000 Americans died from diabetes in 2021, marking the second consecutive year for that grim milestone and spurring a call for a federal mobilization similar to the fight against HIV/AIDS.    The new figures come as an expert panel urges Congress to overhaul diabetes care and prevention, including recommendations to move beyond a reliance on medical interventions alone. A report released earlier this month calls for far… Source link

Jaquiski Tartt would like to have that one back, but at least he owned up to it. The San Francisco 49ers safety dropped what may have been the easiest interception of his NFL career on Sunday during the NFC championship game. Plenty went wrong for the Niners in a fourth quarter that started with San Francisco up 17-7 and ended with them losing 20-17, but Tartt’s drop stood out as the worst missed opportunity. The play came with the Niners up 17-14 and a little under 10 minutes left, when Rams… Source link

The growing clamor surrounding Spotify (SPOT) took a new turn over the weekend, with at least two more artists vowing to depart the platform over podcaster Joe Rogan — who the streaming giant backed in a statement. On Sunday, Spotify broke its silence after the company refused to give into Neil Young’s ultimatum to drop “The Joe Rogan Experience” — the most popular podcast on Spotify — over controversies surrounding his stance on COVID-19 vaccinations. The legendary rocker’s music will… Source link

The Los Angeles Rams are giving the Cincinnati Bengals points against the spread in Super Bowl LVI. The Rams opened as 3.5-point favorites over the Bengals after beating the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 in the NFC championship game. The Bengals advanced to their first Super Bowl since 1989 with a 27-24 overtime win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC title game earlier in the day. The total for the game opens at 49.5. The Bengals beat the Chiefs 27-24 in a game that went under the 54.5-point… Source link

Technically, Super Bowl LVI will feature the worst matchup in history. Now that’s not to say that the game is going to be bad. Based on how Sunday’s conference championships — and the rest of the postseason — went, the game is bound to be plenty entertaining. The game, however, will be the lowest-seeded Super Bowl matchup in history. The Cincinnati Bengals, who entered the postseason as a No. 4 seed, knocked off the Kansas City Chiefs in a wild overtime battle in the AFC Championship… Source link

Some thought the overtime coin flip spelled doom for the Cincinnati Bengals in Sunday’s AFC championship.  Surely Patrick Mahomes would march down the field like he did against the Buffalo Bills to secure a third straight Super Bowl trip for the Kansas City Chiefs. Instead, he threw an ill-advised deep ball to Tyreek Hill into double coverage that safety Jessie Bates tipped into cornerback Vonn Bell‘s hands for a game-shifting interception that set up Cincinnati’s 27-24 win. It was an… Source link
