We could have saved Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper $62 million and 38 games of misery by showing him one list. When Tepper couldn’t wait to get on a plane to give Matt Rhule a seven-year, $62 million contract to leave Baylor for the NFL, he was ignoring that college coaches don’t work in the NFL. It was proven again Monday when Tepper fired Rhule after he put together an 11-27 record as Panthers head coach. He was owed more than $40 million when he was fired.

Davante Adams was frustrated after the Las Vegas Raiders‘ 30-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He’ll regret how he took out that frustration. On his way back to the locker room after the game, Adams shoved a cameraman to the ground. ESPN’s cameras caught the act and played it on “SportsCenter” after the game. It’s not a good look for Adams and the NFL will not take kindly to it either. Adams was clearly upset as the game ended. He and teammate Hunter Renfrow collided downfield on a… Source link

The problem for Biden is that high inflation and weak income gains undercut the remarkably strong labor market of the last two years. Biden crossed the 10 million–jobs threshold with the employment report for September, when the U.S. economy created 263,000 new jobs. That brings the total number of new… Source link

The hype train has officially left the station. Did you see Victor Wembanyama? Did you see his baseline shimmy fadeaways? The high-flying flushes beckoning for a poster? The playmaking, the 3-pointers off the dribble — all at a listed 7-foot-3, with reason to believe the 18-year-old stands even larger. “Everybody has been a unicorn for the last two years, but he’s more like an alien,” LeBron James said Wednesday night from NBA preseason inside Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, just north of… Source link

After a two-game exhibition set against the G League Ignite in Las Vegas last week, Victor Wembanyama, the consensus No. 1 pick of the 2023 NBA draft out of France, has taken the basketball world by storm.
