data-mm-id=”_oexvcve9l”>The Tennessee Titans will forever be known as the first NFL team to suffer a COVID-19 outbreak during the 2020 season. Several players and staff members tested positive following their Week 3 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The case numbers snowballed, and after two more positive tests today, 20 people within the organization have tested positive. Tennessee's Week 4 game with the Pittsburgh Steelers was postponed and both teams were given a bye. The Titans' Week 5 game against the Buffalo Bills is now very much up in the air. On Wednesday, reports hit the wire that the Titans players had hosted an unauthorized practice last week after they were specifically told not to gather in large groups following the initial positive test. Per Titans report…

data-mm-id=”_guagbtfn1″>On Wednesday morning, the Get Up crew kicked off ESPN programming by discussing whether the New England Patriots could actually be better offensively without Tom Brady under center. Patriots reporter Mike Reiss made an appearance and said some around the organization believe the offense could be more efficient if they get solid quarterback play and improve in several other areas. Video: Joining @GetUpESPN and @Espngreeny for a discussion on the Patriots' offense — could this unit possibly be better without Tom Brady? pic.twitter.com/EC8aOVwWYl— Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) June 10, 2020At first glance, this seems preposterous. Going from Brady to Jarrett Stidham is a downgrade in every way imaginable other than the cap situation, and New England made precisel…

data-mm-id=”_6jl3bu7j7″>Adrian Peterson has been released by the Washington Football Team. Under normal circumstances, this would be the end of the road for a 35-year-old running back, but with 43-year-old Tom Brady under center in Tampa Bay and 37-year-old Frank Gore competing for carries in the New York Jets backfield while his son plays college football, age means nothing anymore.Some thought Peterson's career was over when he was suspended for the final 15 games of the 2014 NFL season, but he returned in 2015 to lead the league in rushing at 30-years-old. Then it looked like he might be done after suffering a knee injury that ended his 2016 season, but he signed with the New Orleans the next season. When Sean Payton didn't use him to the point where he was traded, it agai…

data-mm-id=”_aitf24mwq”>A week ago at this time we were just coming to grips with the shocking and disturbing news that beloved actor Rick Moranis had been attacked while on an early-morning walk. It was truly awful and hope remains that justice will be served in the form of zapping the assailant with that shrinking ray gun and forcing him or her to serve time in a tiny jail. Somehow we've moved on, though Moranis is never far from our minds: same as always since about 1984. Want evidence of just how deeply Moranis' misfortune has impacted us? We're now relating all space to the place he was punched. At least if this New York Post's headline is any indication.

CNBC, Bloomberg, and other financial coverage has seen tremendous growth in entertainment value over the past week-plus as new characters keep emerging from the woodwork with the promise to make the text even richer.Like Scott Galloway, who made quite an entrance this morning on MSNBC, painting an extremely bleak picture of people participating in the free markets. dude wut pic.twitter.com/gQ1DJAqCzU— Andrew Lawrence (@ndrew_lawrence) February 1, 2021Now, I do not doubt that he is exponentially more intelligent than myself.

data-mm-id=”_7sm0754p9″>To the delight of most local fans and the disappointment of all content creators, Russell Westbrook's disastrous tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers came to an end last night. The former MVP was traded for D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, and Jarred Vanderbilt. The failed experiment has, finally, shuttered. Lakers, Jazz and Timberwolves are finalizing trade sending D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt to Los Angeles, Russell Westbrook and first-round pick to Utah and Mike Conley Jr. and second-round pick compensation to Minnesota, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) February 9, 2023Westbrook is currently a member of the Utah Jazz but there is no reason to think he will suit up for even one game.
