Obviously it… Source link

President Biden said something completely obvious on Feb. 8 — and it was big news for one of America’s most innovative companies. During an otherwise unremarkable address on domestic manufacturing, Biden referred to Tesla (TSLA) as “our nation’s largest electric vehicle maker.” This is unmistakably true, and nobody disputes it. But up till now, Biden has pushed aggressively for more electric vehicle manufacturing without ever acknowledging that Tesla already produces close to 1… Source link

With Tom Brady retired, Rob Gronkowski‘s widely expected to follow suit. The four-time Super Bowl champion tight end has played his entire 11-season career catching passes from Brady and already called it quits once. The only thing that could lure him out of retirement in 2020? The chance to play with Brady again in Tampa Bay. But it turns out Gronkowski’s not strictly married to playing with Brady — now that Brady’s retired, of course. And he’s got his eyes on one quarterback in particular… Source link

It is colossally unfair to put a second-year quarterback’s name in the same sentence as the two greatest to play the game. But if you watched Joe Burrow on Saturday night, when he was sacked nine times and hit 13, yet still had the calm to stand in the pocket and deliver a 19-yard pass to put the Cincinnati Bengals in game-winning field-goal range, it was hard not to see Joe Montana and Tom Brady. The stage, the pressure, the stakes. And Burrow stepped up into the pocket and found super rookie… Source link
