Nick Sirianni wanted to get Saquon Barkley a personal record, but the RB had other ideas

Saquon Barkley had a massive day Sunday against his old team.

For years, we’ve heard that over-the-counter hearing aids were about to be amazing. They’d look like headphones and seem totally socially inconspicuous; they’d be able to help you tune the sound around you to exactly your needs in every situation. It’s a nice idea, but we haven’t seen much product to back it up. With a new software update coming to Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 earbuds next week, it all might be starting to come true.

NFL injury analysts aren’t just making stuff up; but X can make it seem like they are

Before Week 7 of the NFL season could get under way, Dr. Jesse Morse unknowingly found himself in a tense situation: arguing with Christian Watson’s father, Tazim Wajid Wajed, about if the wide receiver had a high ankle sprain or not. By far the most awkward interaction was this exchange, before Morse realized who he was talking to.
