On a recent episode of Influencers with Yahoo Finance’s Editor-in-Chief Andy Serwer, legendary record producer Chris Blackwell explained his reluctance to be photographed with Bob Marley and his band, the Wailers. “I didn’t want to be, you know, a kind of white management type guy who was hanging around claiming what they’ve helped happen or something like that, you know, because they did,” Blackwell told Yahoo Finance. “He didn’t need that. He had it all himself. He knew what he knew… Source link

Our sister website, HoopsHype, is wrapping up its rankings of the five primary position groups across the NBA entering the 2022-23 season, as voted upon by their team of writers and editors. This week, HoopsHype revealed its aggregated list of the best centers, which is where second-year big man Alperen Sengun — the No. 16 overall pick in the first round of the 2021 class — is expected to become a first-time starter with the Houston Rockets this season. On that list, Sengun checks in at… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. Next week, the NFL will own Sunday. This week, though, Sunday still belongs to MLB (OK, and one college football game). There are 14 games for me to look at, as per usual, but the first one starts at 12:10 p.m. ET now. Blame the rain in Cincinnati for that. Here are a few suggestions for your lineups. Pitching Zac Gallen, ARI vs. MIL ($54): Five starts. That’s how long Gallen has gone without allowing a run. Lefties have hit .151… Source link

By Kanishka Singh and Akriti Sharma (Reuters) – Bed Bath & Beyond Inc’s chief financial officer fell to his death from New York’s Tribeca skyscraper known as the “Jenga” tower on Friday afternoon, police said, just days after a lawsuit alleged he was involved in a “pump and dump” scheme. Gustavo Arnal, 52, joined Bed Bath & Beyond in 2020. He previously worked as CFO for cosmetics brand Avon in London and had a 20-year stint with Procter & Gamble, according to his LinkedIn profile. On Friday at… Source link

Yesterday I listed a few players that I think are being drafted too high based on the fact that they are more likely to be autopicked (at least when I autopicked in a few mock drafts). Listing players to move down your rankings also begs the question of which players you could probably reach a little higher for. In other words, which players are being drafted too low by Yahoo and perhaps other fantasy hockey providers. ADP (average draft position) is a useful tool in the draft room… Source link

No. 2 Ohio State scored its fewest points since 2018 in a 21-10 win over No. 5 Notre Dame on Saturday night. The high-flying Buckeyes offense was slowed by a great Notre Dame gameplan and an injury to star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. But Ohio State had just enough to get the job done after preseason Heisman favorite C.J. Stroud hit Xavier Johnson for a go-ahead 24-yard TD with 17 seconds left in the third quarter. The catch was Johnson’s first collegiate TD. Ohio State took a 7-3 lead… Source link

Anthony Richardson made sure Billy Napier’s head-coaching debut at Florida was a memorable one. Richardson, the Gators’ electric sophomore quarterback, made play after play to help Florida upset No. 7 Utah, 29-26, in front of a raucous home crowd in the Swamp. While Utah was able to limit Richardson to mainly underneath throws in the passing game, he could not be stopped on the ground. Richardson rushed for 104 yards and three touchdowns on just 11 carries, including the game-winning… Source link

Cincinnati’s 22-game regular season winning streak has come to an end. On the heels of a historic trip to the College Football Playoff, the No. 23 Bearcats opened the 2022 season on the road against No. 19 Arkansas and fell 31-24. For Cincinnati, it was a case of missed opportunities and the inability to stop the run. In the first half, the Bearcats drove into Arkansas territory four different times but didn’t score a single point. Cincinnati’s offense played much better in the second… Source link

Georgia picked up where it left off at the end of the 2021 college football season on Saturday. Yeah, the Bulldogs had 15 players taken in the NFL draft and five in the first round after beating Alabama for the national title in January. But it was clear in Georgia’s 49-3 win over Oregon that there are plenty of capable replacements on the roster and that the offense could be even better in 2022. Jalen Carter commanded double teams on the defensive line and looks poised to make headlines… Source link

All offseason, Iowa’s coaches were optimistic that the team’s lackluster offense would show improvement in 2022. Maybe that improvement will show up in Week 2. Iowa won its opener over South Dakota State on Saturday in a very unconventional yet totally on brand fashion. The Hawkeyes won 7-3 in a game in which their defense scored more than the offense. The defense registered two safeties for four points. The offense could only muster a field goal. If you had to think of a team that would… Source link
