YANQING, China — When Kaillie Humphries first ventured into the sport that would make her golden, its inequities alarmed her. “We weren’t allowed on the same bobsled tracks as the men,” she remembered. “We weren’t allowed in the same start houses as the men. We got a tent outside in minus-20 degrees.

Google is working on a lower-end Chromecast with Google TV that would slot in below its current model in price — and also video resolution. According to Protocol’s Janko Roettgers, the upcoming, cheaper Chromecast will run the same Google TV software as the existing hardware and will still include a remote control.

Steven Adams went all out to protect his point guard on Monday afternoon. Adams, late in the Memphis Grizzlies’ 119-106 win over the Chicago Bulls at FedExForum, actually picked up Bulls center Tony Bradley and carried him away from Ja Morant after the two got into an altercation. Though Adams is a large man himself, he seemed to have zero issue whatsoever carrying the 6-foot-10, 248-pound Bradley. Bradley was given a flagrant foul on the play, as he appeared to trip up Morant as he drove… Source link

The Washington Football Team couldn’t stop the Dallas Cowboys in the first half. They couldn’t move the ball either.  WFT was being blown out, and that was embarrassing enough.

Payne was arguing with Allen, Allen was trying to not react when Payne poked him in the head. That led to Allen getting up swinging.  Fight between teammates… Source link

The Cleveland Browns have nothing to be ashamed of.  They lost on Monday, but there wasn’t much they could do. The Browns had 18 players, including eight starters, on the COVID-19 list. They were down to third-string quarterback Nick Mullens, who was signed from the practice squad on Thursday and finally got to practice with the first-team offense on Saturday. Coach Kevin Stefanski was even ruled out. And the Browns led in the fourth quarter, somehow. Mullens hit a fourth-down touchdown pass… Source link
