Video Transcript [BUMPS, BAT HITTING BALL, NET SWISHING] MATT HARMON: CEH has kind of moved, at least for me in my rankings, from a post dead zone running back to sort of firmly in the running back dead zone I’ve got him at running back… Source link

President Biden’s move to cancel student debt was long-expected — but the scope of the effort was not. The expectation of $10,000 in student loan cancellation was widely reported in the lead-up to Wednesday’s news, but the final package included an additional $10,000 in forgiveness for Pell Grant recipients. The administration also laid out a cap on income-based repayments that could be felt for decades to come. “It’s a game-changer,” President Biden said Wednesday in unveiling the… Source link

The coaching star of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” this season was supposed to be Detroit Lions head man Dan Campbell, he of both the equally oversized frame and personality. The gravelly voice. The unpredictable twists in his speeches. The willingness to do up-downs with the players. The guy is, unquestionably, a unique force of personality that producers must have hoped would somehow make a three-win team for a franchise with one playoff victory in 65 seasons worth watching. And Campbell has… Source link

The Los Angeles Angels are for sale. Arte Moreno, who has owned the team since 2003, will seek a buyer for a franchise that currently employs two of this generation’s most dazzling talents and plays in the country’s second-largest market. Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani and a foothold in the Los Angeles area. It would all sound much more appealing if Moreno’s tenure hadn’t turned into a blueprint for how to waste superstar talent by neglecting, bungling or outright refusing to invest in… Source link

Among the afternoon games is a matchup between two American League playoff hopefuls in the Mariners and Guardians. Shifting our attention to the night games, there are the potential for some lopsided matchups.

I recently interviewed Andrew Young, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, at his home in Atlanta. Among other items, I wanted to speak with Young about public and private partnerships and building coalitions with Democrats and Republicans as well as whites and Blacks, which he excelled at when he was the mayor of Atlanta (and as a Congressman). However, while I had time with Young — who at 90 years old is one of the last surviving lions of the civil rights movement — I had to ask… Source link

The Yahoo Fantasy Football crew is identifying the specific players at each position they’re fading this draft season. Finally, the tight end picks from Andy, Matt, Scott and Dalton. One popular sleeper who might stay sleeping Andy Behrens: A quick review of the fantasy portfolio reveals that I’ve already drafted literally every tight end in the Yahoo consensus top-12 in at least one league.

In the weeks since passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, one provision has generated more heat in certain corners of the internet than any other: an $80 billion infusion coming to the IRS. The money is set to help the tax-collecting agency chase down cheats and refresh its shockingly outdated technology over the coming decade. But many critics on the right who say the agency is politically motivated contend the money will also make tax collectors a more pernicious presence in Americans’… Source link
