Bryce Young seems like a good sort. He’s certainly a fantastic quarterback for Alabama. He comes off well in those Dr. Pepper commercials. He deserves better than the Houston Texans. Any young quarterback does. The Texans are leaving little doubt they’re going to get the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft. They had an embarrassing performance in a 30-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday to fall to 1-9-1. The Texans trailed 30-0 at halftime and it was probably worse than the score… Source link

I am sick for Sean Taylor’s family. Again. Because once again the Washington Commanders franchise — to be more specific, we mean team owner Dan Snyder — exploited the memory of the beloved slain safety for cheap public relations points. Via a cheap mannequin it is calling a “permanent memorial installation.” In advance of Sunday’s home game against Atlanta, which was the 15th anniversary of the day Taylor was killed in his Miami-area home by intruders who didn’t expect the rehabbing young… Source link

A week after posting three points and 103 yards with Wilson directing the offense, the Jets rolled up three passing touchdowns and 466 yards of offense in Sunday’s win.

The crew feared Beckham was seriously ill after trying to wake him to put on his seatbelt, and that his condition would worsen during the flight, so they called for police and a fire crew. Beckham reportedly would not leave the flight when asked by the crew, leading to the entire plane being evacuated…. Source link

Illustration: Quartz Anti-government protests flared in several Chinese cities and on college campuses over the weekend. But the country’s most widespread show of public dissent in decades will have to manage without a crucial communication tool, because Apple restricted its use in China earlier this month. AirDrop, the file-sharing feature on iPhones and other Apple devices, has helped protestors in many authoritarian countries evade censorship. That’s because AirDrop relies on direct… Source link
