On the heels of a huge upset over Texas A&M, Appalachian State looked like it was going to fall back down to earth with a disappointing home loss to Troy. But then something miraculous happened. With two seconds left in regulation and his team trailing 28-26 from its own 47-yard line, Chase Brice lofted up a Hail Mary to the end zone. The ball didn’t even reach the goal line but it deflected into the arms of Christan Horn at the 7-yard line. Horn then got a block and waltzed into the end zone… Source link

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Aristides Aquino entered MLB with a historic torrent of home runs, but his calling card these days can be located in his throwing arm. [It’s fantasy football season: Create or join a league now!] During the Reds’ game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday, Aquino unleashed one of the most impressive throws in MLB this year on what should have been an RBI double for Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto. With Rhys Hoskins at first base, Realmuto hit a long fly ball… Source link

Marlon Vera remains the UFC’s top knockout artist in the bantamweight division. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) For three and a half rounds, Dominick Cruz looked like the Dominick Cruz of old, the man who dominated the bantamweight division for years. As he said all week, Marlon Vera didn’t give a f***. One of the UFC’s most entertaining bantamweights capped off UFC San Diego on Saturday with a wild fourth-round knockout of Cruz, further pushing himself toward a title shot. The win is Vera’s… Source link

The Golden State Warriors celebrated their latest NBA title Monday in San Francisco, and the Bay Area showed out. Last week the Warriors won their fourth title since 2015 with their win over the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. That prompted another championship parade, something Warriors fans have become very good at. So much so, in fact, that one fan showed up with a live goat wearing a Stephen Curry jersey. Looks like the GOAT debate is over. Things got off to a rocky start Monday after Klay… Source link

It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to suss out a host of negatives from the brutal earnings results and conference calls from Target and Walmart this week. All of them come to the same conclusion though: Consumers are being financially battered by inflation and the economy is slowing much quicker than Wall Street economists have factored into their 500-step multi-factor models. “It has been a wild 48 hours in retail,” Jefferies Analyst Steph Wissink said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “We… Source link

SAN FRANCISCO — It’s hard to say whether the Golden State Warriors were winning one for their coach, or providing a place of temporary solitude for their grieving teammate. They had a basketball game to win, an opportunity to go up 3-1 on an opponent they’d like to dispatch — so keeping whatever emotions were flying through this wild series, on this day, seemed to be at a premium opposed to a source of inspiration. Steve Kerr was diagnosed with COVID-19 moments before his pregame media… Source link

The NFL draft went to Las Vegas and quickly got drunk. In the shadow of Caesars Palace, commissioner Roger Goodell morphed into part carnival barker, part pit boss, announcing 32 picks and a record nine first-round trades in a wild night befitting a wild offseason. (Remember when Tom Brady retired? Me neither.) There were just three trades in last year’s first round. Teams moved up. Teams moved down. They traded picks and players. They dished veterans on the side. And, yes, they made some… Source link

AUGUSTA, Ga. — At about 10:55 a.m. the crowd parted all on its own. No security told people to do it. No ropes were pulled out. Nothing was imminent. This was in front of the famed Augusta National clubhouse, under the sprawling live oaks that offer scenery and shade, some of the most exclusive ground in this exclusive country club. Tiger Woods was coming. He wasn’t there yet, but he was coming. Everyone knew that. He was set to tee off at 11:04 which meant he would be emerging from the… Source link

A whipsawed Wall Street can expect to see even more volatility ahead as the Federal Reserve gears up its first rate hike campaign of the pandemic era, one investor told Yahoo Finance this week. The Dow dropped 200 points Friday, as markets closed out a volatile week with its second consecutive weekly loss. The new year has gotten off to a rough start, following underwhelming earnings reports from major banks and lackluster economic data — adding to the risk of higher rates as inflation… Source link
