Nearly a year ago, Desmond Ridder and his family spent three-and-a-half hours in the office of Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell with a looming decision that held the potential to reshape the Bearcat program and the sport. After Cincinnati’s Peach Bowl loss to Georgia, Ridder needed to figure out in short order whether he’d return to the Bearcats for a fifth and final season. Myriad factors hovered over Ridder’s decision. His NFL projections were uneven – anywhere from the third to… Source link

Cole Beasley will miss Buffalo’s game Sunday against New England. It will likely determine which team wins the AFC East and secures the home playoff game that comes with it. The Bills receiver is on the NFL’s reserve/COVID-19 list. Since Beasley is unvaccinated, he’s unavailable for 10 days and thus will miss the clash in Foxborough between the 9-5 Patriots and the 8-6 Bills, who began the season eyeing the Super Bowl but instead could miss the postseason altogether. And as the year winds… Source link

Had college football recruiting services been around in 1963, scouts would have flocked to 33rd Avenue High School in Gulfport, Mississippi, to watch a gifted, mobile, do-it-all quarterback named Lem Barney. At 6-foot and with game-breaking speed, Barney would have been a five-star recruit long before his Hall of Fame career as a defensive back/return man (and even punter) for the Detroit Lions. He may have even been rated as high as current 18-year-old Travis Hunter, who hails from Suwanee,… Source link

Stock futures edged up Tuesday evening as investors looked ahead to the Federal Reserve’s final monetary policy decision of 2021 and weighed the central bank’s potential response to persistent inflationary pressures.  Contracts on the S&P 500 ticked higher. The blue-chip index closed out Tuesday’s session in the red for a second straight session, with technology stocks leading the way lower. The Nasdaq ended the session down by more than 1%.   All eyes on Wednesday will be on the Federal… Source link

Stocks traded slightly lower Monday morning, with the S&P 500 steadying just below last week’s record level as traders awaited a Federal Reserve monetary policy decision later this week.  The three major indexes were slightly in the red just after market open. U.S. crude oil prices dipped to trade near $71 per barrel. Treasury yields fell across the long end of the curve, and the benchmark 10-year yield held below 1.5%. Bitcoin prices ticked down to trade below $48,000.  Shares of heavily… Source link

  In a perfect world, Brandon Staley will be the coach the Chargers franchise has been searching for for nearly its entire existence. He’ll finally get the team back to the Super Bowl, and even win it. It may not happen this year, especially since it’s been over 30 years since a rookie head coach won the Super Bowl, and George Seifert’s 49ers still had Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. It may not happen next year. But if Staley has success, it will hopefully lead to the NFL — a league that has a… Source link

The Biden administration looks set to soon announce its pick for who will lead the nation’s economic steward: the Federal Reserve. The White House appears to be weighing two options: keeping Jerome Powell as Fed chair or replacing him with current Fed Governor Lael Brainard. Both reportedly met with President Joe Biden earlier in the month. Biden said on Tuesday, per the White House press pool, that a decision would come in about four days (or Saturday, November 20). Personnel could change… Source link

 It was no secret that All-NBA guard Damian Lillard had some soul-searching to do after last season. The same injury-hit Denver Nuggets team that got swept by the Phoenix Suns in the second round of the playoffs got to that series by beating Lillard’s Portland Trail Blazers in six games. So for the Blazers star, losing meant asking the question: Was Portland doing everything to win a title? Should he leave? In an interview with Yahoo! Sports’ Chris Haynes,… Source link

Stock futures opened near the flat line Tuesday evening as investors awaited a key monetary policy decision from the Federal Reserve. Contracts on the S&P 500 traded sideways. The blue-chip index had set a record closing high for a fourth straight session earlier in the day while the Dow closed above 36,000 for the first time ever, buoyed by an extended run of better-than-expected corporate earnings results.  Some of the closely watched names that reported results after market close continued… Source link

The EV kingpin, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), has delivered yet another stellar earnings report that has again cemented its credentials as one of the few electric vehicle manufacturers ready to challenge the ICE hegemony. For years, naysayers and short-sellers like Citron Research were willing to bet the house that Elon Musk’s high-wire act wouldn’t end well, with the preordained denouement being a bankruptcy or a sale.  But those speculations have been short-lived: The rapid-fire company has… Source link
