Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami won the first race of the world Alpine skiing championships after a late mistake from bronze medalist Mikaela Shiffrin may have cost the American a repeat gold in the super-G. Gut-Behrami prevailed by .34 of a second over countrywoman Corinne Suter for her first world title in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, after the start of the championships was delayed by three days due to weather. Shiffrin finished .47 behind in third to collect her eighth world championships medal,… Source link

Law360 (January 13, 2021, 5:27 PM EST) — Google scored a pair of victories in a patent fight over video playback technology after the Patent Trial and Appeal Board struck down two Virentem Ventures LLC patents for being obvious. In separate final written decisions this week, the PTAB said that Google successfully showed that each of the claims in two of Virentem’s patents were obvious due to prior art that included an earlier U.S. patent known as Nelson, which covers a digital video… Source link

The Alabama star was awarded the 2020 Heisman Trophy on Tuesday ahead of teammate Mac Jones, Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence and Florida quarterback Kyle Trask.

Smith is the third Alabama player to win the Heisman Trophy and all three of those Crimson Tide wins have come in the last 12 seasons…. Source link

Google’s acquisition of Fitbit is nearing completion now that the European Commission has approved the search giant’s $2.1 billion takeover of the wearable tech company. When Google announced the acquisition in November 2019, Google hardware chief Rick Osterloh said that the Fitbit purchase was “an opportunity to invest even more in Wear OS as well as introduce Made by Google wearable devices into the market.” But regulators quickly got involved, and in August, they formally

When Baker Mayfield’s in the driver’s seat, buckle up. Mayfield’s Cleveland Browns knocked off the Jacksonville Jaguars, 27-25, on Sunday afternoon, moving to 8-3 and solidifying a hold on a playoff spot. But the game had a lot more drama than any contest involving the Jaguars ought to. This isn’t to disparage the Browns’ effort this year. Cleveland needed more than three seasons to win eight games before Mayfield arrived. But man, Mayfield keeps things interesting for this team. He… Source link

Yeah, Alabama’s the No. 1 team in the country. The Crimson Tide (8-0) were No. 1 in the first College Football Playoff rankings of the season on Tuesday and backed up that ranking with a 42-13 win over No. 22 Auburn in the Iron Bowl on Saturday. Auburn (5-3) did nothing to threaten Alabama at all. It was a clear sign of things to come for the Tigers when Mac Jones found DeVonta Smith for a 66-yard TD pass to open the scoring when Auburn’s secondary completely forgot to cover the receiver… Source link

Chase Elliott is a NASCAR Cup Series champion. Elliott had the best car throughout Sunday’s title race at Phoenix Raceway and easily cruised to his first Cup Series title over Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin. Elliott, 24, passed Logano for the race win and the championship with 42 laps to go and set sail as the three drivers he was racing for the title couldn’t come close to mounting a challenge. Elliott led 153 laps, the most of any driver. The championship is Elliott’s… Source link

By Tom Hals and Jan Wolfe (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign said on Saturday it had filed a lawsuit in Arizona, its latest legal challenge over the results of the presidential election. The campaign suffered losses in Michigan and Georgia courts this week, but Trump pledged on Saturday to go forward with a legal strategy that he hopes will overturn state results that gave Democrat Joe Biden the win in Tuesday’s vote. Legal experts said the cases the Trump campaign is bringing… Source link

When Raheem Morris took over as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, the odds were against him earning the full-time job. That’s true for all interim coaches. While nobody can know how many wins the Falcons would have to bank to give Morris a legitimate interview to be hired on a permanent basis, he’s giving himself a shot. The Falcons got another win under Morris in a rainy Thursday night game, beating the Carolina Panthers 25-17. It looked like the Falcons might blow yet another… Source link
