A future in which the Steelers employ George Pickens and Brandon Aiyuk for Russell Wilson and/or Justin Fields — and then potentially a near-future heir apparent — to target remains in play, but as of Saturday morning, it is not the expected scenario.The Steelers remain on standby here as a fallback option, according to ESPN.com’s Jeremy Fowler, who notes this situation has shifted from being a “coin-flip” between Pittsburgh and San Francisco back to a place in which the 49ers have a “slight edge” to end up extending the wide receiver. Since a Tuesday report confirmed the teams have trade parameters in place, this storyline has trended…
It started as a last-minute effort in February: Organisers in Michigan hoped to use the state’s Democratic primary to send a message to President Joe Biden to end his support for Israel’s war in Gaza. Six months later, Biden is no longer the Democratic presidential candidate. But the US’s “ironclad” support for the war continues. And so has the “uncommitted” movement, the protest effort born in Michigan. Initially, the aim was to encourage primary voters across the country to cast their “uncommitted” ballots in protest of the war. But now that the primary season is over, the “uncommitted movement” has…
Home prices are finally starting to fall In a good sign for homebuyers, the share of available listings that saw a price cut jumped to 18.9% in July – up 3.4% from the same time last year, and the highest level in two years, according to a new report published by Realtor.com. Price cuts are atypical in July, which is usually a peak time for home sales. But this year is different, because sellers are trying to lure back lukewarm buyers who are facing both high costs and steep interest rates. Despite their combined six-figure income, the homeownership dream has…
Collectible original artwork re-issue for acclaimed roots reggae harmony group ‘The Travellers’ classic ‘Black Black Minds‘ from 1977. A lost Jamaican harmony classic! By the late 70s, vocal harmony groups were beginning to fade from the Jamaican scene, as Dee Jays and dubplates ruled the scene, and the dawning of the dancehall era was just around the corner. But Prince Jammy was still working with some remarkable groups, and this classic LP of rootsy vocal harmony numbers was cut at the same time as Jammy’s seminal work with Black Uhuru. Includes “Black Black Minds”, “Know Yourself”, “Jah Gave Us This World“, “Peace & Rest“, “Tell…

One of the key members, no pun intended, of the Tennessee Titans defensive line will be available for Week 1 after all. On Saturday, Titans edge-rusher Arden Key successfully appealed a potential six-game ban for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. While it’s good news for Key, it’s even better for the team. Without Key, the Titans would’ve had two choices to fill the void left along the defensive line, neither ideal. Barring an agreement with one of the veterans left on the free-agent market, the best-available replacements on the roster were likely fourth-year linebacker Rashad Weaver, who has…
The Israeli military has bombed a warehouse sheltering displaced Palestinians in the az-Zawayda area of central Gaza, killing 15 members of one family, including nine children. The civil defence spokesman in Gaza, Mahmoud Basal, said on Saturday that 15 people killed in the overnight attack were members of the al-Ejlah family, with three women among the dead. The total death toll from the attack was 16. Reporting from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum said three Israeli missiles hit the warehouse, located a few kilometres south of the Nuseirat refugee camp. “A massive fire broke out,…
