Jaquiski Tartt would like to have that one back, but at least he owned up to it. The San Francisco 49ers safety dropped what may have been the easiest interception of his NFL career on Sunday during the NFC championship game.

The play came with the Niners up 17-14 and a little under 10 minutes left, when Rams… Source link

Make it make sense. The NBA is going through a wave of COVID-19 diagnoses, even among the vaccinated and perhaps the boosted, and the Brooklyn Nets decide to kowtow to Kyrie Irving? On some level, maybe it does. Players of all levels are testing positive, so what’s the harm in bringing in a healthy body for road games, to help out the overworked Kevin Durant even in a pinch? The harm, aside from common sense, science and everything believed to be true about teams with championship… Source link
