Dolphins special teams coach refuses to find humor in the ‘butt punt’

The “butt punt” from Sunday’s game between the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills will undoubtedly go down as one of the wildest, and funniest, plays of the season — if not in recent memory. At least one person, however, isn’t laughing. “Absolutely zero amusement and a 100% critical mistake that has an opportunity to possibly lose a game,” Dolphins special teams coach Danny Crossman said on Tuesday, via USA Today. “It will never get a smile from me.” With about 90 seconds left in… Source link

DFS Dish: Sanderson Farms Championship

DFS Dish: Sanderson Farms Championship

The PGA TOUR heads to Mississippi this week for the Sanderson Farms Championship. For DFS gamers, that means a return to stroke-play format after last week’s team event. That puts the emphasis back on finding cut-makers with upside instead of trying to calculate how many matches a golfer will play. The longtime host course is the Country Club of Jackson. It’s a par 72 with lots of beefy par 5s and fast, bermuda greens. Let’s hover over that last angle and look at top performers on courses with… Source link

Tesla rental demand ‘very, very solid,’ Hertz CEO says

Tesla (TSLA) rental demand appears to be off to a brisk start for Hertz (HTZ). “Demand has been very, very solid,” Hertz CEO Stephen Scherr said in an exclusive Yahoo Finance Live interview Tuesday (video above). “We’re seeing demand not just among leisure travelers but also among corporate travelers, where in fact corporations want their employees in an electric vehicle to satisfy some of their own carbon footprint objectives.” Hertz inked a deal late in 2021 to purchase 100,000 Tesla Model… Source link

The cost of taming inflation could be 3 million lost jobs

So far, the pain has been plunging stock values and higher borrowing costs for homes, cars, credit-card purchases and business investments. But the toll could also include a surge in unemployment, and all the strains that go along with it—which typically harms lower-income workers most of all. Powell won’t… Source link

Google Play Store finally makes it easier to find Android TV and Wear OS apps

The Google Play Store is notorious for making it difficult to find apps optimized for non-phone devices —you’ve often had to guess and hope for the best. Now, however, it just involves a couple of taps. Google says it recently added Play Store home pages to its Android app with recommendations for Android Automotive, Android TV and Wear OS apps. Visit “other devices” and you can find a health tracker for your Galaxy Watch 5, or a video service for your Chromecast. New search filters also… Source link

After Phil Mickelson, three other LIV golfers drop out of lawsuit against PGA Tour, there are only three plaintiffs remaining

Phil Mickelson was one of 11 golfers who sued the PGA Tour for antitrust violations back in August. Before the most recent LIV Golf event at Rich Harvest Farms outside of Chicago, however, the 45-time PGA Tour winner hinted that he might be leaving the suit. “Now that LIV (Golf) is involved, it’s not necessary for me to be involved,’’ Mickelson said on September 16. “The only reason for me to stay in is (monetary) damages, which I don’t really want or need anything.
