If there’s a word that can sum up the Dallas Cowboys‘ 2021 season it’s this: discipline. As in, a lack thereof.  The Cowboys watched their season crater in Sunday’s NFC wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers, and it happened in perhaps what should have been predictable fashion.

But there’s no way we can overlook the impact of the huge holding call in the first quarter (see below) or the delay of game… Source link

O’Leary tells Yahoo Finance Live he was incentivized to shed those pandemic pounds after his annual medical checkup revealed he had high blood pressure. “My doctor said you’ve got to lose 20 pounds, your blood pressure is way up. It’s been going up… Source link

The Los Angeles Rams are going to go through the entire month of November without a win.  That’s a little misleading because the Rams had a bye this month, but it was still a lost month for a team that did not expect to drop many games this season.  We’re two-thirds of the way through the season, and it’s time to wonder what the Rams really are. They’re 7-4, two games behind the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC West and the Cardinals already won at Los Angeles. After a three-game losing streak,… Source link

That makes each sector the worst performers from within the S&P 500 over this time span. The S&P 500 is roughly flat going back to Aug. 16. Sundial says the selling pressure is “getting extreme,” and the data bears that out.  The percentage of… Source link

The Google Pixel 6 looks to change so much from the Google Pixel 5 based on recent leaks that it may be hard to tell the two phones are related.

While Android enthusiasts have great respect for the Pixel phones’ well-implemented version of Android and its excellent photo post-processing, this hasn’t translated to lots of Pixel sales. The latest leaks for the Pixel 6 claim to show that Google’s taking… Source link

Tensions between Google and its AI brain trust DeepMind have always been fascinating. To put the relationship in crude terms: DeepMind, founded in 2010, is home to some the best AI researchers in the world who output a steady stream of insightful academic papers and Nature front covers. Google, meanwhile, bought DeepMind in 2014 and bankrolls its large losses, and it really, really wants to squeeze some money out of all those juicy brains. That’s why a recent story on the two companies… Source link

The New York Times Inside Democrats’ Scramble to Resist GOP Voting Laws Democrats are struggling to build a surefire legal strategy to block new Republican-backed restrictions on voting rights, relying on broadly worded warnings and urgent pleas that are designed, in part, to build political pressure on the White House, Congress and the Justice Department to act, as well as to engage their supporters to mobilize in advance of the 2022 midterm elections. The approach is aimed at persuading… Source link
