UFC president Dana White faces significant challenges ahead in navigating the company through 2023. (Photo by Amy Kaplan/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) It would have been inconceivable at lunchtime on Sept. 8 to think there was even the tiniest bit of concern about the UFC’s position in the sports landscape. It was a juggernaut and it was only growing. It was — and still is — in the midst of a lengthy sell-out streak for full arena shows. It was setting gate records regularly. It was… Source link

(Bloomberg) — Economist Nouriel Roubini, who correctly predicted the 2008 financial crisis, sees a “long and ugly” recession in the US and globally occurring at the end of 2022 that could last all of 2023 and a sharp correction in the S&P 500. Most Read from Bloomberg “Even in a plain vanilla recession, the S&P 500 can fall by 30%,” said Roubini, chairman and chief executive officer of Roubini Macro Associates, in an interview Monday. In “a real hard landing,” which he expects, it… Source link

It was ugly, just the way Connecticut Sun head coach Curt Miller wanted it. Maybe a little uglier than most others would have liked. But the No. 3 seed Sun couldn’t buy the first vowel in “offense” and lost the mightily messy Game 3 affair to the No. 2 seed Chicago Sky, 76-72, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut on Sunday. Chicago leads the best-of-five series, 2-1, and is one victory away from a return to the WNBA Finals that tips off in one week. Connecticut will need to win out, including… Source link

(Warning: This story contains graphic allegations of sexual misconduct.) It’s clear now. During Deshaun Watson’s pathetic introductory news conference with the Cleveland Browns in March, as Browns general manager Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski spoke of having confidence in “Deshaun the person,” that very person claimed more than once he has “never assaulted, harassed or disrespected any woman in my life.” For good measure, he used his mother and her two sisters, his aunts, as a… Source link

Cryptocurrencies boomed in 2021, but Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) late year retrenchment left many investors unsure about the same returns in the new year. Buoyed by demand for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and decentralized finance (DeFi), Ethereum (ETH-USD) and smaller cryptocurrencies ended up stealing the spotlight from Bitcoin. Its market capitalization, currently under 40%, is the second lowest it has ever been according to Trading View data.  Trading around $47,300, Bitcoin is down 8% since last… Source link

Who didn’t play in Week 16 was more important than the players on the field. COVID ravaged rosters around the league while bettors reacted by targeting totals in several games. The roster challenges combined with the NFL coming off its lowest-scoring week of the year had bettors driving totals down in a big way. The average closing total this past weekend hit a season-low 43.1 points. Bettors’ expectation of another low-scoring week never came to fruition. Overs went 10-5 and those who bet… Source link

“Hodl” no more? The grim weekend cryptocurrency drubbing that dragged Bitcoin (BTC) under $50,000 and ravaged other digital coins has decisively tempered the bullishness of investors — some of whom were predicting a run at $100,000 just weeks ago. Fueled by uncertainty over the Federal Reserve inching toward tighter monetary policy in the face of surging inflation, and global fears over the new Omicron variant of COVID-19, the dramatic crash was super-charged by liquidations in the crypto… Source link

If you’ve ever texted with an Android user, you know how conversations can quickly get overrun with “Jason laughed at” this or “Roman liked” that messages. As soon as an Android user joins a group conversation, Apple’s iMessage reaction expressions turn to text prompts so no one misses out on what’s happening. That’s changing thanks to the latest Google Messages update that’s rolling out. According to 9to5Google, who previously dug through the APK for a beta version… Source link
