NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees‘ return from injury got off to a rough start with no completions and one interception on his first six passes. The 41-year-old Brees had moments where he looked like his old, record-setting self. But there were too many others when he didn’t, contributing to a 32-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. ”I can tell you the first four drives were not what we wanted with four three and outs,” said Brees, who completed just 15 of… Source link

Take a good look at your fantasy football team and, for better or for worse, this is your squad. Did you do a good job assembling an unstoppable roster, or did you mess up royally along the way?

I’ve been on staff with Yahoo since 2008. My fantasy writing resume goes back two decades. I’ve been playing fantasy football and covering sports since the early-90s. I’ve been an NFL fan all my life. Today, Nov. 28, is the wildest off-the-field Saturday I’ve ever seen. I want be clear, I’m not trying to be glib here. I know we play a game about a game. I know we work in the toy department. Obviously the players are humans, with emotions, fears, and problems like anyone else. Please… Source link

The Guardian Steve Dalkowski: the life and mystery of baseball’s flame-throwing what-if Many believe the lefthander was the fastest pitcher to ever take the mound. But his career – and life – went off the rails before he could make an impactSteve Dalkowski, a career minor-leaguer who very well could have been the fastest (and wildest) pitcher in baseball history, died in April at the age of 80 from complications from Covid-19. And yet, partly because of one missing detail, his legend lives… Source link

In this new era of elite quarterback preservation, we were supposed to be beyond this. We were supposed to be through with the days of the injury cart ferrying off the most prized franchise commodity, often to the disgust of every competitor on the field. Rule changes were made for this. Offensive philosophies were augmented. Equipment was enhanced. All in the name of extending the longevity of special talents — in the hopes that guys like Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray and Deshaun Watson… Source link

Although it’s been a challenging injury year, the Week 11 report is a little tamer than usual.

The dynasty had crumbled, seemingly all at once. Kevin Durant blew an Achilles in Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals. Klay Thompson tore an ACL three nights later in Game 6. By the time Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors celebrated an NBA championship in the last game ever played at Oracle Arena, it felt more like the end (or at least a pause) of an epic era. Everyone suspected KD would soon leave via free agency. They knew Klay was headed to a year of rehab. When the 2019-20 season finally… Source link

We’ve made it through roughly half of the NFL reason season. Keep grinding, gamers. Here’s your injury and status report. • According to our old friend Michael Gehlken, the Cowboys are preparing not to have Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring) against Pittsburgh. This would set up Tony Pollard to be the featured back, though Pollard could struggle behind Dallas’s patchwork offensive line. We might have to wait until Sunday morning for clarity on Elliott. The Cowboys take their bye in Week 10.

A Queensland woman has detailed the excruciating pain caused by one of the world’s “most venomous” fish. Whitney Jones was getting out of the water at the Mooloolaba Spit when something stung her foot and when she looked down she saw a stonefish, she told ABC Sunshine Coast. Ms Jones said the pain set in when she was walking up the beach. She soon collapsed due to the immense pain and two women tended to her until the lifeguards were on the scene. “I’ve given birth completely naturally… Source link
