If anything has become perfectly clear during the earliest weeks of fantasy draft season, it’s this: We cannot wait to not pick Josh Jacobs. We are aggressively not drafting Jacobs across all platforms. In fact, he’s currently falling outside the top-20 running backs at both Yahoo and NFC despite having never finished worse than RB16 in any season. He’s been mentioned in pretty much every bust, fade and must-avoid article published this summer. Jacobs, we’ve decided, is just another committee… Source link

AUSTIN, Texas – Josh Emmett’s case for a title shot keeps getting stronger. The UFC featherweight added another win to the streak, defeating Calvin Kattar in an exciting and highly technical five-round contest in the main event of Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 37.

Following the reading of the decision, Emmett took… Source link

Josh Donaldson said he was hurt after his New York Yankees teammates didn’t back him up following his “Jackie Robinson” comments directed at Chicago White Sox star Tim Anderson. Donaldson said on Wednesday that while he admits what he said about Anderson was wrong, hearing his own teammates bash him for it was disappointing. “I think that was tough to hear, for sure, just for the simple fact that I pride myself on being a good teammate, and everywhere I’ve went, every organization… Source link

U.S. stocks continued a steep selloff on Thursday after disappointing earnings reports from Target and Walmart affirmed fears over inflation, which remains close to its highest level in 40 years. In a recent interview with Yahoo Finance, hedge fund founder Josh Friedman acknowledged that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is currently doing a good job of trying to “wring out” this sky-high inflation. Still, he suggested that the Fed may have stoked inflation with its response to the… Source link

Josh Naylor was stoked. And rightfully so. The Guardians first baseman had a massive night on Monday against the Chicago White Sox as Cleveland rallied from an 8-2 eighth-inning deficit for a 12-9 win in extra innings. Naylor finished the night 3 of 5 at the plate with eight RBI, including a grand slam in the ninth inning that tied the game at 8-8. Naylor calmly ran the bases after his blast over the right centerfield wall. But once he touched the plate, it was on. Naylor shushed the White Sox… Source link

The good news for Josh Taylor is that he’ll walk to the ring on Saturday in Glasgow, Scotland, to a hero’s welcome as he prepares to defend his undisputed super lightweight title against mandatory challenger Jack Catterall. The bad news is, there’s going to be plenty of these mandatories popping up in short order, and it’s going to take a heroic effort in order to keep the belts. Normally, the mandatory challengers aren’t the fights fans are itching to see. And with no offense meant… Source link

When it was all over, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes sprinted across the field to pay it forward. He weaved his way past the celebrating embraces of backup quarterback Chad Henne and linebacker Frank Clark, dropping his helmet at the 35-yard line and curving his trajectory to a person who had earned a shared private moment in the most public of places.  Normally, this singular path in the euphoric chaos of victory delivers a player to an embrace with family or a cherished… Source link

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat will not play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, the team has announced in a statement. He underwent an “emergency procedure” on Tuesday to address a “life-threatening situation.” The Eagles didn’t release any information about what “life-threatening” medical situation Sweat was facing. He was listed as having an illness on the Eagles’ medical report this week, and head coach Nick Sirianni mentioned on Friday that Sweat was back in the… Source link

The list of times Bill Belichick has been embarrassed in the playoffs is short.  The instance everyone will point to is a 2009 wild-card game against the Baltimore Ravens, when the New England Patriots trailed 24-0 in the first quarter. They lost that game 33-14. In 2012 they lost the AFC championship game to the Ravens by 15 points. Those were the only times Belichick’s Patriots teams had lost by more than 10 in the playoffs.  A lot about Saturday night’s 47-17 Buffalo Bills win was… Source link

LaMelo Ball‘s status as the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double lasted 358 days. The new holder is Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Josh Giddey, who continued a standout rookie year with a night to remember Sunday. Facing the Dallas Mavericks, Giddey posted 17 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds at the age of 19 years and 84 days, 56 days younger than Ball on his record night. Giddey’s contributions weren’t enough for the 13-23 Thunder to avoid a 95-86 loss, but he upheld the… Source link
