The Finals MVP has always carried a chip on his shoulder — but this time, there is undeniable joy, too.
BRIGHTON, MASSACHUSETTS — A freshly-shaved Jaylen Brown sat at the podium, grinning from ear to ear, ready to address a swarm of reporters for his Celtics Media Day availability.
The first question he received was about getting snubbed from the U.S. Olympic team — a story that’s been well-chronicled and punctuated by teammate Derrick White getting...

Jayden Daniels is making Kliff Kingsbury’s offense go with the Commanders.
Kliff Kingsbury’s offense has been called many things: “dishonorable,” “gimmicky,” and “RPO bullshit” are a few of them I fully believe about the Commanders’ OC and his offense.
Now, to be fair, all those things are still true, but suddenly he has a QB who can maximize it and create explosives at will, making the offense go. So, I guess it’s all a wash. No....
Football is fun.
Welcome back to Establish The Fun, where football is fun and we’re establishing that with more effectiveness than the Jaguars’ plane leaving Buffalo on Monday night (so much pain).
We’re quickly approaching the quarter mark of the season, and a lot of trends are popping up. Running the ball is back! Teams are throwing the ball less downfield! Changing the picture up front is just as important as changing it in the secondary! RUNNING THE BALL IS BACK!

Raycast immediately becomes your computer’s most useful text box. | Image: Raycast
Raycast has become one of the best power-user Mac tools over the last few years. What started as a launcher — sort of a faster and better version of Apple’s own Spotlight tool — has become a way to interact with apps, manage windows, chat with AI, and much more. It’s kind of a modern take on a command line, both in how powerful it can be and in how challenging it can be to get used to.
Now the...

The new Kindle will have a six-inch, 300ppi screen with improved contrast and a...

It’s an exciting time to be a part of AMC’s The Terror fandom. Through the efforts of one of its members, a team of researchers were able to reveal the fate of one of the men who died in the real life events depicted by the show.
In a paper published in The Journal of Archeological Science: Reports, a team of anthropologists from the University of Waterloo wrote that they used DNA testing from a living descendent to identify the remains of Captain James Fitzjames, one...

Kate Magdziuk shares her Week 4 defense rankings and highlights several streaming options that could be available in your leagues.
Despite some sparks on offense, there was plenty of defense to go around in Week 3, with three fantasy defenses scoring 15+ fantasy points. Unfortunately, with Bryce Young now on the bench, the easiest option is no longer to stream your D/ST against the Carolina Panthers. In last week’s surprising shoot-out with the...

Which tight ends will shine in Week 4 for your fantasy football teams? We’ll take a look at all of them in our PPR rankings.
Tight ends still are dragging fantasy footballers down, but thankfully there aren’t any that have put up big numbers with any consistency. Week 3 brought Dallas Goedert back from the fantasy grave, as injuries to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith helped propel him to a huge workload and fantasy day. Oh, and...

Injuries have ravished the running back position early this season, with top options like Christian McCaffrey, Isiah Pacheco and Kenneth Walker all currently injured. Now, fantasy football managers have been left to pick up the pieces in the wake of it all.

Which running back will shine in Week 4 for your fantasy football teams? We’ll take a look at all of them in our PPR rankings.
Welcome to Week 4 of the NFL season. Below here I’ll take you through my PPR running back rankings. But before we get there, let’s take a quick look at where the running backs stand in fantasy through three weeks.

Which quarterbacks will shine in Week 4 for your fantasy football teams? We’ll take a look at all of them in our rankings.
Welcome to Week 4 of the NFL season. As usual, this has been a weird start to the season, with passing numbers down and rushing numbers up. Week 3 did give us some strong quarterback fantasy games though, more than we have been seeing this year. Josh Allen and Sam Darnold both threw for four touchdowns each, while Brock...
The kicker position is a tricky one if you don’t have the biggest names. Linda Godfrey offers streaming advice for the position in Week 4.
The best part about NFL football is it keeps you on your toes. Whenever we think we know something, it proves us wrong. The National Football League keeps us humble. I think that’s important. Week 3 was a reminder of that humility.
What an awful week for the kicker position, by the way. In the first two weeks of the season, kickers averaged 9...

Matthew Sluka, UNLV’s quarterback, has entered the transfer portal citing commitments that were not ‘upheld’.
Matthew Sluka and UNLV are some of the early-season darlings of the 2024 college football season. The school is 3-0 after a strong start, and in the driver’s seat for the Group of 5’s automatic berth in the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff. As for Sluka, who transferred to UNLV after a stellar career at Holy Cross, he has...

The story of Sam Bankman-Fried was obvious enough: a Shakespearean level of arrogance that led to tragedy. But I have been puzzled for some time by Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Research and star witness of the FTX trial. Now, after her sentencing, I believe what she did is weirder and perhaps sadder.
Ellison spoke on her own behalf, beginning by apologizing to everyone...
