The 2022 NFL draft is finally upon us. No, this isn’t going to be the most accurate mock draft you’ve seen; anyone who nails more than a dozen first-rounders (right team, right player) should immediately be drafted into one of the NFL’s 32 scouting staffs. This is about as challenging a year to project first-round picks, and it has a lot to do with a watered-down top half of the round, along with the uncertainty at quarterback. It’s always a crapshoot, but this year takes the cake. To make up… Source link

KETTERING, Ohio — Barbara McGlone is supporting Senate candidate Josh Mandel all the way, even if her favorite Republican, Donald Trump, is backing Mandel’s opponent, the conservative commentator J.D. Vance. “I don’t trust J.D. Vance. At all,” McGlone said, sitting in the back of the Victory Christian Church’s break room Thursday, after a campaign stop by Mandel and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. “I know Josh. I voted for him when he became [state] treasurer. And I know all the… Source link

Tiger Woods is still weighing whether to attempt one of the most remarkable comebacks in sports history. Less than 14 months after a catastrophic February 2021 car wreck that nearly cost him his leg, Woods continues to consider whether to play the Masters this week. Woods spent time last week walking the steep hills of Augusta National and performed well enough to warrant keeping the door open. “I will be heading up to Augusta today to continue my preparation and practice. It will be a… Source link

NEW ORLEANS — At the end of his last ride came a long walk. Beaten by his archrival, felled by a dagger of a 3-pointer in the final minute, Mike Krzyzewski unfolded his arms, got up off his courtside stool and strode calmly into retirement. He displayed no emotion when he shook the hand of North Carolina head coach Hubert Davis. Nor when Duke fans in the stands applauded reverentially and shouted “We love you, coach!” as he exited the floor. When Krzyzewski found his wife Mickie waiting… Source link

Connecticut is on to its 14th consecutive Final Four after a double-overtime thriller. The No. 2-seeded Huskies downed No. 1 seed NC State, 91-87, in what was essentially a home game in the Bridgeport region on Monday. It was the first double-overtime game in the Elite Eight or later in women’s tournament history. Paige Bueckers came up clutch in the first overtime period and hit the opening 3-pointer 20 seconds into the second OT to put the Huskies up 80-77. UConn led by as many as five, the… Source link

There are few happy endings in boxing. Miguel Berchelt, who rose from obscurity to have a magnificent career, is about to find that out. There’s no reason for the former WBO and WBC super featherweight champion to fight once again. He was repeatedly beaten to the punch Saturday at Resorts World in Las Vegas by Jeremiah Nakathila. He was knocked down once by a jab and he made Nakathila, a good but hardly sensational fighter, look like the reincarnation of Alexis Arguello. Referee Russell Mora,… Source link

PHILADELPHIA — The “Fire Hubert” furor peaked as the North Carolina Tar Heels rode through darkness on a chilly bus across their home state. It was Jan. 23, wee hours of the morning. Roads were frozen, but message boards were alight. Hubert Davis, , was “in way over his head.” They said much worse, too, as the Tar Heels and their first-year head coach sat in silence. They’d just lost at Wake Forest by 22, four days after losing at Miami by 28. They were 12-6, 4-3 in the ACC, NCAA… Source link

Mike Krzyzewski got a hero’s sendoff at his final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, as you might expect from the winningest coach in college basketball history, but he did not get a happy ending. Krzyzewski’s Cameron career came to an end on Saturday against, who else, North Carolina. Among the people who were there to send him off, per Duke, were NBA commissioner Adam Silver, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Jerry Seinfeld, Dirk Nowitzki, Kyler Murray, Ken Jeong, Nick Nurse, Terrell Owens and the usual… Source link

Home price growth in the U.S. paused in the final month of 2021, but the full year logged in record gains. Standard & Poor’s said Tuesday that its S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller national home price index posted an 18.8% annual gain in December, unchanged from November.
