Definitely seems like the most relevant piece of information I'd want if I'm searching for news about James Conner
A google search for James Conner where the top link is asking me whether I should start Conner, who the article says is on injured reserve to open the year, or Corey Kiner, the Patriots' third-string running back, in fantasy football

That could have been a huge play for the Eagles on first down if Hurts had been able to get the ball to Barkley against the blitz.

Well, the only guy in the stadium who mattered was Demarcus Lawrence (0). And he did not know it was coming.

49ers have scored five touchdowns on five possessions. They've only faced four third downs all game.

A little shook to find out that Ajax dealt with a POGS scandal in the mid-nineties
Meanwhile at Ajax there was still one more incident which Kluivert dubbed as the "Croky affair". During the 1996–97 season, Blind and the De Boer twins arranged a sponsorship deal with a Dutch brand of potato chips Croky, without the knowledge of the rest of the selection. The agreement consisted of creating Pogs of the Ajax players, which yielded ƒ500,000 guilders. The proceeds would be distributed over the entire selection. Bogarde, Kluivert and Veldman (who was never identified as a member of the kabel through the media) refused to sign, so the action was threatening to be cancelled. Bogarde gave this as another example of the uneven power distribution amongst the players, since the opinion of the squad was never asked, after consultation the three remaining players signed on and the Croky deal came to fruition.

41-yard gain for Puka Nacua. Just a lot of space between Renardo Green (0) and Ji'Ayir Brown (27) for the deep out, and when Brown gets stuck between trying to make a tackle and knock the ball away and does neither, Nacua's off to the races

Maye's repeatedly taken the checkdown tonight. Didn't take it this time, tried to fit the shot downfield to Doubs, and it ends up as an INT.

Seahawks show a blitz with man coverage behind, then blitz Witherspoon (21) out of the slot and drop Thomas (32) off from the other side to ensure an overload. Lawrence (0) initially comes to occupy the tackle and then drops off as well to take away a short throw. Maye panics and throws it away.

Miguel Tejada getting furious at Derek Lowe for DX crotch-chopping the A's dugout after he struck someone out to win a playoff series is an all-timer www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXge...
The A's thought Lowe simulated a sexual act with his arms and made a gesture toward his crotch following the final out, sending Oakland shortstop Miguel Tejada into a rage in the clubhouse moments later.

"Derek Lowe is going to be paid back for that sign," Tejada screamed through the clubhouse, shouting expletives. "My kid is in the stands. He's going to pay."

Oakland general manager Billy Beane escorted the crying Tejada away.
