The growing clamor surrounding Spotify (SPOT) took a new turn over the weekend, with at least two more artists vowing to depart the platform over podcaster Joe Rogan — who the streaming giant backed in a statement. On Sunday, Spotify broke its silence after the company refused to give into Neil Young’s ultimatum to drop “The Joe Rogan Experience” — the most popular podcast on Spotify — over controversies surrounding his stance on COVID-19 vaccinations. The legendary rocker’s music will… Source link

The Los Angeles Rams are giving the Cincinnati Bengals points against the spread in Super Bowl LVI. The Rams opened as 3.5-point favorites over the Bengals after beating the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 in the NFC championship game.

The Bengals beat the Chiefs 27-24 in a game that went under the 54.5-point… Source link

Technically, Super Bowl LVI will feature the worst matchup in history. Now that’s not to say that the game is going to be bad. Based on how Sunday’s conference championships — and the rest of the postseason — went, the game is bound to be plenty entertaining. The game, however, will be the lowest-seeded Super Bowl matchup in history. The Cincinnati Bengals, who entered the postseason as a No. 4 seed, knocked off the Kansas City Chiefs in a wild overtime battle in the AFC Championship… Source link

Some thought the overtime coin flip spelled doom for the Cincinnati Bengals in Sunday’s AFC championship.  Surely Patrick Mahomes would march down the field like he did against the Buffalo Bills to secure a third straight Super Bowl trip for the Kansas City Chiefs. Instead, he threw an ill-advised deep ball to Tyreek Hill into double coverage that safety Jessie Bates tipped into cornerback Vonn Bell‘s hands for a game-shifting interception that set up Cincinnati’s 27-24 win. It was an… Source link

Small-capitalization stocks have been hit particularly hard over the past months. A look at the Russell 2000, the leading index of small caps, tells the story. The Russell last hit a record high back in November of last year, and it’s gone mostly downhill from there — falling 20%. But low prices now could translate into investor opportunities later on. In fact, Jefferies strategist Steven DeSanctis believes that the small caps are in a “bottoming out process.” DeSanctis argues that… Source link

Losing the coin toss in overtime isn’t a death sentence, though you heard a lot about how the rules were unfair to the Buffalo Bills after an AFC divisional-round loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.  To get the ball to your offense, the defense needs to keep the opponent out of the end zone on the first drive. And that’s what the Cincinnati Bengals did.  The Chiefs won the coin toss after tying a thrilling AFC championship game with a field goal as time expired in regulation, and there were… Source link

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Walk around SoFi Stadium before Sunday’s NFC championship game, and it’s easy to forget who the home team is. A sea of red-clad San Francisco 49ers fans poured into parking lots a few hours before kickoff despite the Rams’ best efforts all week to protect their home-field advantage. One carload of 49ers supporters honked their horn and waved team gear out their windows as they approached the stadium. Other big groups of 49ers fans posed for pictures in front of the… Source link
