In the most comprehensive statement yet from Deshaun Watson’s legal team, defense attorney Rusty Hardin revealed a few key components of what lies ahead in the legal battles between the Houston Texans quarterback and now 16 women who have filed civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault. Not only does Watson appear steadfastly dedicated to fighting the cases in a legal setting, Hardin published an affidavit from Watson’s business manager, Bryan Burney, alleging that one of the accusers… Source link

There are many critics of corporate stock buybacks, but Warren Buffett is certainly not one of them. In his latest annual letter to shareholders, the Oracle of Omaha revealed that his holding company, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A, BRK-B), had spent nearly $25 billion repurchasing class A shares. Buffett said the action “demonstrated our enthusiasm for Berkshire’s spread” of vast holdings, which include major companies like Apple (AAPL), Bank of America (BAC), Coca-Cola (KO) and Merck ( Source link

The Biden Administration is invoking the Defense Production Act (DPA) to increase manufacturing of existing vaccines, a move that could help expand limited supplies and get more vaccinations sites up and running. But the idea that any company, even another pharmaceutical company, can simply start producing the vaccines is easier than it sounds, according to some experts. “One of the delusions I think people have is the idea that the Defense Production Act … you can’t do that with… Source link

Aaron Donald and the Rams could have a lot to smile about in Week 15. (Keith Birmingham/The Orange County Register via AP) We saw the Los Angeles Rams defense in top form in Week 14, as they completely dismantled the Patriots en route to a 24-3 win. [Week 15 Fantasy Rankings: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | FLEX | DST | Kickers] If the Rams could do that to a Bill Belichick-coached team, imagine what they’re going to do in Week 15 to a Jets team already preparing themselves for the No. 1 pick in the… Source link

The Panthers defense has been opportunistic of late. (AP Photo/Jim Mone) Coming into the season, the Panthers were expected to field one of the worst defenses in the league. [Week 14 Fantasy Rankings: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | FLEX | DST | Kickers] Through 13 weeks, however, they actually rank middle of the pack in fantasy scoring, and they’ll get a chance to improve on that number when they take on the turnover-prone Drew Lock in Week 14. Check out the Panthers and the rest of the DSTs in our… Source link

The Telegraph What happened to Jordan Spieth? How golf’s next big thing descended into paralysis by analysis “Go get that,” Jordan Spieth shouted, ordering his caddie, Michael Greller, to pick up the ball that had just dived into the cup from 48 feet. It was a display of such prodigious nerve, or “moxie” as his fellow Texans might call it, that his three-word instruction on Royal Birkdale’s 15th green would soon be emblazoned on his fans’ baseball caps, marking the moment he… Source link

Should Google’s benefits to consumers cancel out any alleged abuses of its economic might? That’s where the company and the US government may inevitably clash in court. How a judge answers the question could have far wider ramifications than this one case. It reflects deep tensions between what critics of US law say has allowed decades of corporate concentration, and what its defenders say is a feature of the system — not a bug — that keeps the focus squarely on consumers’ welfare in a… Source link

The Bills have a stout defense on paper, but you wouldn’t be able to tell by their showing the last two weeks. [Week 7 Fantasy Rankings: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | FLEX | DST | Kickers] Buffalo got torn up by both the Tennessee Titans and the Kansas City Chiefs, allowing 25-plus points (42 to Tennessee!) and getting hurt on both the ground and the air. They’ll get a clear bounce-back opportunity in Week 7, however, when they face the 0-6 Jets. Check out the Bills and the rest of… Source link
