Things could have gone a lot worse for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ben Roethlisberger’s final season. Roethlisberger was a shell of himself. The offense as a whole wasn’t good.

It was a Steelers team that had a very fortunate record in close games and caught a couple huge breaks in Week 18, which led to a playoff berth at 9-7-1. The Steelers got blasted in the playoffs by the Kansas City Chiefs, but… Source link

You don’t ship Wilson, in his prime, and go into the season with Drew Lock as his replacement. The Seahawks disagree. For many years the Seahawks have been proudly unconventional.

Policymakers at the Federal Reserve are beginning to entertain the possibility of recession, as high inflation pushes the central bank to raise interest rates at the fastest pace in decades. “It’s certainly a possibility,” Fed Chairman Jerome Powell told the Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday when asked about the chance of a recession. Powell clarified: “It’s not our intended outcome.” The Fed chief’s remarks on Wednesday stand in contrast to his commentary from early May, when… Source link

Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Global will start trading on the over-the-counter market (OTC) on Monday, more than two weeks after its shareholders voted to delist the company from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) where it raised US$4.4 billion last year in a public listing that angered Beijing.
