New season, same Nebraska. Nebraska’s miserable 3-9 record in 2021 included an impressively bad 0-8 mark in one-score games. To start off the 2022 campaign, the Huskers added another one-score loss to Scott Frost’s resume. In a brutal 31-28 loss to Northwestern on Saturday in Ireland, Nebraska blew two double-digit leads. The Huskers jumped out to a 14-3 lead in the first half and then again went ahead by 11 in the third quarter. But Frost’s team never scored again as Northwestern stormed… Source link

There are 12 teams that have never won a Super Bowl. Some of them have virtually no chance of taking themselves off that list this season. Houston Texans and Atlanta Falcons, we’re talking about you. However, it seems like this could be a season in which we get a first-time winner. Buffalo hopes so.

Sweeping climate and health care legislation unveiled by Democrats last week would lead to significant cuts in energy costs for American households, according to a new analysis. A report by non-profit group Rewiring America found that the tax incentives included as part of the $369 billion dedicated to climate initiatives in the Inflation Reduction Act would save the average household $1,800 per year on energy bills. “It is a market-tilting level of investment,” Ari Matusiak, the group’s… Source link

Like a crafty fighter lulling an opponent into complacency, The Country Club punched back hard on Saturday, rocking the game’s best and setting up a Sunday at the U.S. Open with no clear favorite. Winds picked up into the high teens. Greens dried out and thumped. The rough, allowed to grow, swallowed wayward shots and held on. The field as a whole shot nearly a stroke and a half worse than Friday’s average of 71.99, and the Friday night lead of -5 fell a stroke, to -4. At the beginning of the… Source link

The housing market is starting to show signs of a slowdown. If the trend persists, the U.S could see an impact in other sectors of the economy — starting with big-ticket items that go into furnishing a new home. “The housing market is very much a leading indicator of the economy because of the knock on effects through the various sectors, like consumption of durable goods,” Eric Basmajian, founder of EPB Macro Research, told Yahoo Finance. He predicts durable goods such as large appliances… Source link

They did so late without Jimmy Butler, who missed the entire second half with knee inflammation. After totaling 16 points in Games 1 and 2, Bam Adebayo powered the Heat to victory with his best game of the series. Bam… Source link
