It was a viral moment that elicited both nervous laughs and tears of joy from a pandemic-weary nation: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis awaiting his state’s first COVID vaccine shipment in December 2020, staring at a delivery door like a child stares at a fireplace on Christmas Eve. “Any minute now we’re going to hear a doorbell,” Polis says with childlike glee, his words muffled by a surgical mask. “And then we’re going to ….” He dramatically pauses before saying, “of course, let the… Source link

(Bloomberg) — The U.S. bond market is hurtling toward the clearest sign yet that the Federal Reserve’s shift into a hawkish gear is making a difference — a real 10-year interest rate higher than 0%.

The result was what virtually everyone with a clue imagined it would be: Gennadiy Golovkin broke down Ryota Murata, pummeled him with crushing hooks and finished him when Murata’s corner threw in the towel in a one-sided ninth round of their bout for the IBF and WBA middleweight titles Saturday in Saitama, Japan. It was how Golovkin got to that result that was unexpected and deserving of a closer look. Murata simply isn’t an elite middleweight and despite his youth, had few advantages… Source link

Saturday is the men’s college hockey title game between Denver and Minnesota State, but there’s plenty of hockey at the professional level as well. I was tempted to do a full-game slate, since the first game starts at 2 p.m. EDT, but instead I will just focus on the nine games starting at 7 p.m. or later. That’s plenty of options! Here are the ones I recommend, and the ones I would avoid. GOALIE Robin Lehner, VGK vs. ARI ($31): Since returning, Lehner has had one good start and one bad start…. Source link
