The Eagles are off to a hot start in 2022 with impressive wins in their first two games. They dispatched the Detroit Lions in Week 1 — although it ended much closer than Philly fans would have wanted — and made light work of the Minnesota Vikings at home in Week 2. Third-year quarterback Jalen Hurts has looked very comfortable running the offense, no doubt helped by the offseason addition of star receiver A....
Saturday’s battle welcomes an interesting quarterback duel with the Gators (6-0) operating under backup quarterback Kyle Trask and the Tigers (5-0) led by a Heisman candidate in Joe Burrow. Feleipe Franks opened the season as the starting Florida quarterback but suffered a season-ending ankle injury against Kentucky, allowing Trask to take over the offense. Trask has tossed seven touchdowns and two interceptions since being named starter, and is probable for Saturday’s matchup after exiting the previous game with a knee injury....
Big Blue is heading towards some lean years, if the new regime has given any indication: After years of half measures and half-in, half-out competitiveness, the team seems poised to hit the reset button and start from scratch. This year will be a pure “evaluation” year for Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley and the rest of the roster. While the pieces exist for the Giants to be competitive in an unknown NFC East, Giants fans should brace for a long season....
For all he has accomplished in Jackson, Miss., Sanders has yet to attain the highest goal available to HBCUs: a victory in the Celebration Bowl, the de facto Black national championship game. The Tigers came close under Sanders in 2021, winning the SWAC with an 11-1 record before falling to South Carolina State 31-10 in the final game of the year. Now, Sanders’ 12-0 Tigers, headlined by quarterback Shedeur Sanders and cornerback Travis Hunter, will take on N....
Their first meeting on Nov. 27 in Atlanta ended in favour of the Knicks 99-90. Trae Young scored 33 points while Clint Capela recorded a double-double of 16 points and 22 rebounds but New York came out on top behind a combined 43 points from Alec Burks and Evan Fournier, which included 8-of-13 shooting from beyond the arc. This Knicks-Hawks contest tips off the NBA’s five-game Christmas Day slate for the 2021-22 season, which will be the 14th consecutive time the league will showcase five marquee games on the holiday....
The Nets will host the Mavericks at the Barclays Center where Kevin Durant and Luka Doncic will go head-to-head in a must-see matchup. Durant is up to his usual antics so far this season, averaging 32.0 points while shooting 55.9 percent from the field through Brooklyn’s first three games. Doncic has been unstoppable as well, averaging 33.5 points, 8.0 assists and 8.0 rebounds per game. Kyrie Irving is coming off back-to-back big games, going for 30 points against the Raptors and 37 points against the Grizzlies....
The Hurricanes are 2-0 on the year with decisive wins over Bethune-Cookman and Southern Miss, so Texas A&M should provide them with their first test of the season. A team with transfers up and down the roster, Miami is hoping to challenge the top schools in the country from a conference that has fallen out of favor in many ways. At the helm of that is Mario Cristobal, who will be going up against the veteran Jimbo Fisher....

For the second time this season, NASCAR is entering a Saturday-Sunday doubleheader as part of those schedule changes, this time at Michigan International Speedway. The TV channel for both NASCAR races is NBCSN. Saturday’s FireKeepers Casino 400 marks NBC/NBCSN’s fifth broadcast of the season, as Fox/FS1’s slate ended with the July 15 All-Star Race.

The 49ers and Packers, who entered the NFL playoffs in 2020 as the NFC’s top two seeds enter today’s game in San Francisco, scheduled to kick off at 6:40 p.m. ET on Fox, is pretty much as good as it gets for those who enjoy marquee matchups. Though the 49ers and Packers entered the playoffs as the No. 1 and No. 2 seed, respectively, neither team was expected to be here based on most preseason projections....
With all the fanfare from Tuesday’s season-opener behind them, the Raptors can focus on the rest of the 82-game season. The first road trip for the reigning champions comes Friday with a trip to Boston where they will take on the Celtics, who dropped their season opener 107-93 in Philadelphia on Wednesday. The Celtics now have the opportunity to get their first home contest under their belts and Toronto presents another stiff test from an Eastern Conference foe....
On April 9, inside The Alamodome in Texas, Garcia faces off against Emmanuel Tagoe. The fight will be at catchweight. Garcia made his pro debut in 2016. His last fight was in January 2021, beating Luke Campbell via TKO to win the interim WBC lightweight title. In April 2021 he was supposed to fight Javier Fortuna but ended up not fighting to work on his mental health. Set to return this past November, Garcia would undergo hand surgery....
Tomlin’s streak of 15 consecutive seasons without a losing record is three losses away from ending, and a home loss to the Saints would push the Steelers even further from contention. The Saints are under .500 through nine games but still have reason for hope in the NFC South, where no one will carry a winning record into Week 10. New Orleans won’t have Michael Thomas back this season, but with the way Andy Dalton, Alvin Kamara, and Chris Olave have played of late, is it possible the Saints have the most impressive offense in the division?...
The Grizzlies lost a heartbreaker in Game 4, letting a fourth-quarter lead slip away as the Warriors took a commanding 3-1 lead in the series. Memphis fought hard without superstar guard Ja Morant, who missed the contest due to a knee injury suffered in Game 3. In Morant’s absence, the Grizzlies’ supporting cast stepped up as they had all season, with five different players scoring in double figures. Reserve guard Tyus Jones took on the biggest role change, going for 19 points, six rebounds and five assists as the team’s interim starting point guard for Morant....
Washington, which is in its second season under coach Ron Rivera, is coming off a 43-21 loss to the Bills last week. The Football Team had only 290 yards of offense, as quarterback Taylor Heinickie tossed two interceptions and Washington’s defense allowed 481 yards of offense to Buffalo. Atlanta suffered blowout losses in its first two weeks of the year against Philadelphia and Tampa Bay, respectively, before it beat the New York Giants last week, 17-14....
Cuomo has alleged that his former network wrongly terminated him and “damaged” his professional reputation. In December last year, CNN fired Chris Cuomo and said he had broken the company’s rules by helping his New York governor brother, Andrew Cuomo, who was facing allegations of sexual harassment at the time. The $125 million price tag is meant to cover Chris Cuomo’s remaining salary under his employment agreement with CNN, as well as potential future wages lost....
Cepeda shared this reflection with me a number of years ago in recalling his playing days as baseball’s racial integration unfolded. Cepeda recalled numerous instances in which Americanos saw the Puerto Rican as just another black man when deciding to deny him services or in refusing him the same accommodations that his white teammates enjoyed. He also shared that on other occasions Americanos who he encountered saw him as a Latino, and proceeded to poke fun at his accent and his unfamiliarity with North American ways, which reminded him how they saw him as a foreigner in this land — even though his native Puerto Rico was (and remains) a U....
“Anyone can kill you at any time” The chief lesson learned at the academy was this: Anyone can kill you at any time. This topic wasn’t listed on the formal lesson plan, but was implicit in the stories the instructors told and the videos the recruits obsessively watched both in class and during break time. Week after week, we watch footage of cops getting attacked, injured or killed. The world, it seemed, was a dangerous place for police officers; they were perpetually being stabbed, shot, punched, kicked, run over, drowned poisoned by fentanyl and bitten by savage dogs....
In September 2020, it was revealed that John Cena would be starring in the series, reprising his role as the lead character. The show is a spin-off from the 2021 film The Suicide Squad. WWE’s official website stated that the new DC show will explore the origins of the superhero character. The hero is described as a man “who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it....
Strand is another elemental manifestation of the Darkness consisting of psychic energy in the form of a matrix, which developers liken using the power to The Matrix. Strand manipulates the very threads of reality, connecting all minds and things in the universe. Each class will have access to the grappling hook, which can anchor threads of Strand to any surface, including thin air, to allow players to zip through the new neon, cyberpunk city of Neomuna on Neptune....
