There was a lot of hope for Geno Smith‘s NFL future when he was at West Virginia. He was a heck of a college quarterback. It didn’t work out for him with the New York Jets and he entered the backup phase of his career. The Seattle Seahawks were mocked for trading Russell Wilson and giving Smith a chance to start. It took a long time, but Smith finally had the game of his NFL career on a night when Wilson made his return to Seattle. Smith did most of his damage in the first half, but that was… Source link

College football is finally here. Though the real fun begins next week with Week 1, there are seven FBS vs. FBS games on the schedule on Saturday.

If the Baltimore Ravens want to lock up Lamar Jackson before he becomes a free agent, the team will have to act quickly. Jackson implied Saturday he will cut off negotiations with the Ravens once the regular season begins. [Set, hut, hike! Create or join a fantasy football league now!] Jackson was asked whether he had a deadline for getting an extension done. He replied, “Yeah, we coming up to it. It’s coming up. Season’s coming up. We’re going to be good for the season.” Jackson said he… Source link

Baker Mayfield got the starting nod for the Carolina Panthers in their first preseason game Saturday. In return for that distinction, he checked an important box against the Washington Commanders — looking healthy, confident and (for the most part) sharp in his lone drive of the day. That drive ultimately stalled out on a bungled snap exchange, leaving the Panthers to kick a field goal in what amounted to a modest debut for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 draft. In that brief appearance,… Source link

As announced in March, Google Play users on Android are starting to see the Movies & TV store disappear from the app. On mobile, Google no longer wants people to browse, search, buy, or rent television shows and movies from the Play Store application. Instead, Google TV is the intended replacement where you can also see your library, while it was recently updated with a “Highlights” news feed. As part of this change, there are now changes to past purchases, family sharing,… Source link

The new filters are rolling out on Android, iOS and the web and can be accessed in the ‘Filters’ tab in Google Photos’ image editor. The company says the new Real Tone filters were designed by “professional image makers” to accurately represent various skin tones in photos. “These filters were designed by professional image makers to work well across skin tones,… Source link

There was a moment, a brief moment, when Tiger Woods was one stroke off the lead in a major in 2022. It didn’t last. Through his first five holes Thursday morning in the PGA Championship at Southern Hills, Woods was 2-under par and looking strong and confident, not at all like he was still recovering from a February 2021 car wreck. Then the drives started drifting, the approaches started fluttering and the putts stopped falling, and Woods plummeted down the leaderboard to end the day at +4 in… Source link

Bailey said once started, the process will take several days. Total Demolition Services is leading the work. The property, located at 5628 Lyons View Pike, was purchased by LView… Source link
