  (Via Apple TV+) In retrospect, “The Last Dance” was both the best and the worst thing to happen to the sports documentary genre. On one hand, the behind-the-scenes account of the 1997-98 champion Chicago Bulls was a revelation, a shot of nostalgia for a long-gone era and an appreciation of one of the greatest teams of all time. On the other, it was a highly curated behemoth that convinced every athlete who’d ever made an All-Star team, every team that broke .500, that they deserved… Source link

Several of the nation’s best-known midsized lenders reported sizable drops in profits during the fourth quarter, a reminder of how challenging 2023 was. The problem is that things aren’t expected to get much better in 2024. The stock of Discover Financial Services (DFS) fell 11% Thursday after it reported that earnings fell 62% from the year-ago period. KeyCorp (KEY) fell by more than 4% after it said profits dropped 36%. Truist (TFC) rose slight after falling for most of the afternoon. It… Source link

There are decisions coming in Toronto. There are decisions to be made across the NBA, but plenty of front offices will hold their cards in this months-long game of poker and never let go. It appears clear the Raptors, who have been reluctant to ante in recent seasons, won’t choose to stay silent before the Feb. 9 trade deadline sounds. “What they’re not gonna do is be in the middle,” said one Western Conference executive. “They’ve told teams they’re going to do something,” said… Source link

My fellow critics of all things sports, media and sports media: Can we switch up now? We need to stop tweeting, writing and saying that the Brett Favre welfare money theft misappropriation story isn’t getting attention from “the media.” It most certainly is. Thanks to the diligent work of some journalists in Mississippi, this writer first started wondering over two years ago why Favre got $1.1 million earmarked for needy families through the Mississippi Department of Human Services. Yes, it… Source link

Michael Burry — the hedge fund manager depicted by Christian Bale in The Big Short — has been aggressively investing during this market downturn. Burry’s latest 13F filing for the first quarter of 2022 shows a broad range of new investments and some interesting strategic moves with options. That’s a significant shift from the previous quarter when Burry was selling most of his stock portfolio and calling for the “mother of all crashes.” He’s not exactly bullish on the overall… Source link

The Portland Trail Blazers have lost 20 of their last 22 games. They’ve dropped 10 in a row, covering just once. If tanking was an art form, they’d be Pablo Picasso. Their latest one-sided piece was a 50-point thrashing at the hands of the Mavs as 19.5-point underdogs. Today, they’ll be 19.5-point dogs on BetMGM again as they end the season at home versus the Utah Jazz. R.I.P. City Portland’s opening night starting lineup of Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, and Jusuf Nurkic is a distant memory…. Source link

After hitting a low of around $31,000 in mid-July, bitcoin (BTC-USD) has healthily recovered, currently trading at around $55,000 following resistance at around $45,000 during September.

James Harden has made his NFL debut. Kind of. The Houston Rockets star’s name made an appearance in the form of an audible during Sunday night’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders. With the game tied at 14-14 in the second quarter, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr audibled out of a first-down play near midfield, clearly calling the name of the 2018 NBA MVP for NBC cameras and microphones to document. He then handed the ball off to running back Devontae Booker, who ran… Source link
