The NBA starts off the week with seven games on the schedule Monday. One of the more intriguing storylines to watch will be how the Nets respond to their disappointing loss to the Pacers on Saturday. They play the Pacers again, but this time they will take the floor in Brooklyn. The final undefeated team in the league is the Bucks, who will play host to the Pistons. The Pistons are coming off of an impressive win on their own, knocking off the Warriors on Sunday. Let’s dive into the options… Source link

ARLINGTON, Texas — In the Dallas Cowboys‘ postgame locker room, Ezekiel Elliott cradled an imaginary trophy midair. The seventh-year pro’s message: He worries not who carries the football each Sunday. He wants to carry something bigger and better. “All I’m worried about is winning, and at the end of the season. I want to be holding up that Lombardi,” Elliott told Yahoo Sports while hoisting his imaginary trophy. “We’ve all got the same goal and that’s for this team to be… Source link

Mel Tucker’s Michigan State program shouldn’t be defined by the ugly violence it unleashed in the Michigan Stadium tunnel on Saturday night. What comes next will do that. In the moments after Michigan’s 29-7 victory Saturday night, a group of Michigan State players punched, kicked and slammed around Michigan defensive back Ja’Den McBurrows as the teams headed toward their respective locker rooms. This was no fight. This was an attack, McBurrows, minus his helmet, vastly outnumbered,… Source link

For almost two months, Alvin Kamara was a source of fantasy frustration, the one player locked out of the New Orleans touchdown party. But all is forgiven after he posted a signature game Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Kamara exploded for 158 total yards and three touchdowns, his first three spikes of the year, in the shutout over the hapless Raiders. Kamara was somewhat contained on the ground (18 carries, 62 yards), but his receiving chops were on display, as he secured 9-of-10… Source link

Christian McCaffrey just did something only four other players have accomplished in modern NFL history. The San Francisco 49ers running back ran, caught and passed for a touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8. The last player to do that was running back LaDanian Tomlinson for the then-San Diego Chargers in 2005. New England Patriots wideout David Patten and Chicago Bears Hall of Fame running back Walter Payton also completed the feat. Seven others did it as well, though all were… Source link

Wolfgang Puck says the luxury dining industry is feeling the pinch of inflation. In a recent interview with Yahoo Finance, the world-renowned Chef and restaurateur, broke it down point-blank saying, “some of this thing has gotten out of control.” “The average cost now in our restaurants for food is up 15%, which is a lot,” adding that some other costs like equipment to prepare the food are also on the rise. “I bought the other day cutting boards, for example, for one restaurant I bought 12… Source link

Florida and Georgia issued a joint statement on Sunday morning condemning an antisemitic message that was projected onto the exterior of TIAA Bank Field after the Bulldogs’ 42-20 win over the Gators. The message positively referenced Kanye West’s antisemitic remarks earlier this month. The statement from the school not only denounced what was projected onto the stadium but “other antisemitic messages” in the city of Jacksonville. “We strongly condemn the antisemitic hate speech… Source link

Fantasy football sit-and-start advice should always be relative and league-dependent. Note that some players are targeted for DFS. Good luck with your Week 8 lineups! Start: Greg Dulcich Sit: Trevor Lawrence Dulcich has immediately taken over as Denver’s top tight end, recording nine targets in the second game of his career last week. That qualifies him as a top-12 fantasy tight end right away. Denver gets Russell Wilson back and will be forced to throw this week thanks in part to having a… Source link

McDonald’s (MCD) customers in the U.S. are still lovin’ the fast food chain, even with higher prices.

This positive momentum came despite menu prices increasing by 10% year-over-year. “McDonald’s in the U.S. had positive traffic — not many restaurants today have… Source link
