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

  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.

 It was no secret that All-NBA guard Damian Lillard had some soul-searching to do after last season.

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

In that case, EU authorities found Google had Source link
