New York prosecutors haven’t revealed what they know about Donald Trump’s finances. But new developments suggest it’s ominous for the former president.

The new-look Nets barely won their first game on Saturday over an injury-riddled Heat team, 128-124. Miami, without Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, or Meyers Leonard, was within three points with 15 seconds to play. Steve Nash and his coaching staff have a lot to work on with the Kyrie Irving–Kevin Durant–James Harden Nets, and while that isn’t a shock so soon after the blockbuster trade for Harden, it’s been disappointing to see Brooklyn stumble through its last three games. The team fell to the… Source link

The Cowboys had not returned a kickoff for a touchdown since 2008. It’s odd, then, to think that rookie CeeDee Lamb would get barked at by his coaching staff and teammates for finally taking one to the house in the waning moments of Sunday’s meeting with the visiting 49ers. But that’s exactly what happened. After one of the most electrifying plays of Dallas’s disappointing 2020 season, the promising young rookie found himself apologizing. “Honestly, it all happened so fast. It was… Source link
