Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady missed Wednesday’s practice this past week for what the team called a “not injury-related rest day.” Now, it sounds like that will be more frequent moving forward. Brady will take every Wednesday off for the rest of the season for “a personal day,” according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. This is reportedly the first time in Brady’s 23-year career that he’ll receive a rest day every week during a season, per Rapoport. He’s taken occasional Thursdays… Source link

When Ashley Storino wants a new pair of black boots or book recommendations, she knows what gets results – and it isn’t Google. No blue links for this 22-year-old digital marketer. Rather than wade through pages of search results, she opens TikTok instead, quickly scans video after video and checks the comments to make sure she can trust the content. Only when she knows precisely what she’s looking for does she turn to Google first. “Let’s say I want to find the best mascara…. Source link

Saturday was not a day for the Big Ten to champion the depth of the conference. Sure, Penn State got a convincing road win over Auburn and Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin did what they were supposed to do against overmatched opponents. But the teams below them in the conference pecking order didn’t cover themselves in glory. We’ll start in Lincoln, where Nebraska gave up 49 points to Oklahoma in its first game after Scott Frost’s firing. Interim coach Mickey Joseph’s tenure started… Source link
