The Eagles aren’t going 17-0. Right?
The chances of the Philadelphia Eagles going 17-0 are slim. But they’re somewhere above zero percent. The main factor in the Eagles’ favor is their schedule. It’s really soft. It’s hard to find a loss in it. Coming into the season, the Eagles had one of the easiest schedules in the NFL, and it hasn’t gotten any more daunting during their 6-0 start. It’s hard to win 11 NFL games in a row no matter who you play, but take a look at the Eagles’ remaining schedule and try to find their first… Source link

(Bloomberg) — Rupert Murdoch’s plan to combine News Corp. and Fox Corp., recreating the conservative-leaning media goliath that he split apart nine years ago, drew mixed reactions on Wall Street. Most Read from Bloomberg Several analysts said the potential recombination is unlikely to solve one of the key problems facing Fox and News Corp. — low valuations relative to their peers.

Let’s be real for a second: most smartwatches are deeply boring to behold in person. Even in the remarkably staid standards of “real” horology—where the 50-year-old AP Royal Oak still counts as a hype watch—it took half a decade for most new wearables to coalesce around exactly the same aesthetic. You know the one: all-black, chunky build, wouldn’t be seen dead in it outside of a half marathon. So as much as Google’s Pixel Watch might not be a perfect smartwatch, it does deserve… Source link

Video Transcript SCOTT PIANOWSKI: You know, we often talk about the running back dead zone, right? Round four, five, six, whatever it is. The tight end dead zone, right? If you don’t go early at tight end, maybe you should just go cheap. This year, there’s been a quarterback dead zone. Let’s revisit your summer draft. This is my preferred strategy in… Source link

A recent Microsoft (MSFT) survey found that employers and workers still disagree over whether remote work boosts or kills productivity. In a new interview with Yahoo Finance, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said companies should consult the data to determine workers’ performance — rather than assume they’re getting more work done in the office. The company’s recent Work Trends Study, which surveyed 20,000 people across 11 countries, found 87% of employees say they’re more productive… Source link
