Saturday, the highly anticipated Patriots-Chiefs game was delayed due to more COVID-19 positives – though the league still hopes to stage it Monday or Tuesday. If that happens, New England will be without QB Cam Newton, according to multiple reports, because he has the virus.

a baseball player running to catch a ball: Elway attended Granada Hills High in the San Fernando Valley for three years while his father, Jack, was the head coach of the erstwhile program at Cal State Northridge. John was a coveted recruit and went on to play both football and baseball at Stanford. He threw for 9,349 yards and 77 touchdown passes for the Cardinal on his way to becoming the No. 1 overall draft pick by the Colts in 1983. Unwilling to play for the Colts, he used the threat of a baseball career to leverage a trade to Denver, setting the stage for a legendary run with the Broncos. He guided the Broncos to 10 playoff appearances in 16 seasons, including five Super Bowl appearances and two Super Bowl wins. Gifted with a golden arm and the ability to scramble effectively, Elway gave opposing defenses fits with his ability to improvise with his feet. He registered 51,475 career passing yards and 300 touchdown passes, earning nine Pro Bowl selections in the process. Elway was named to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2000 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2004.

Pete Prisco’s NFL Week 4 odds, picks: Cowboys rout Browns, Chiefs roll past Patriots, 49ers edge Eagles

[email protected]_84 business weekly

Picking NFL games so far in the early season hasn’t been as challenging for me as in years past. I went 9-7 against the spread last week for a season record of 29-18-1, which is good by any standards. My straight-up record is 33-14-1.

On the Pick-Six Podcast, where we pick our best bets every week, I went 4-2 this past week and I am a sizzling 13-3 with my best bets. That includes a loss with the over in the Ravens-Chiefs game by a half a point in a game that had no business going under.

Let’s keep up the hot start and I offer one big tip as we head to Week 4: Play the overs. Until they can show me otherwise, the NFL defenses stink this year.

All odds are via William Hill Sportsbook.

[email protected]_84 business proposals

By Dan Burns, Howard Schneider

(Reuters) – Top U.S. economic policymakers opened the door on Tuesday to further aid for small businesses hit by the coronavirus-triggered recession, but differed over how broad it might extend and the manner in which it should be delivered.

In testimony before the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell were pressed by lawmakers concerned the multi-trillion-dollar effort to battle the economic fallout from the pandemic had left a broad swathe of businesses vulnerable, from the smallest corner restaurants to commercial office properties and hotels.

Mnuchin and Powell said they were looking for ways to extend more help, but also that

Pedestrians carrying shopping bags cross a street in front of the Macy’s Inc. flagship store in the Herald Square area of New York, U.S., on Thursday, Aug. 6, 2020. The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort index rose last week to 44.9 from 44.3 a week earlier.

In a letter, 177 business leaders, including executives from Citigroup Inc., Squarespace Inc., Pfizer Inc. and Macy’s Inc., called on Cuomo and de Blasio to formulate a strategic plan for New York’s economic recovery.

“New York should step up to chart the course for recovery of urban centers everywhere,” the letter read. “We urge you to convene a multi-sector leadership initiative which can call upon the

$2,933 for ‘Girl’s Night’: Medicaid chief’s consulting expenses revealed

Public health is supposed to be separate from politics. But this pandemic — and this election — have turned that idea on its head. POLITICO’s Dan Diamond and Sarah Owermohle discuss how politics is seeping into the vaccine race on both sides of the aisle.

“Verma and her top aides abused the federal contracting process to Administrator Verma’s benefit and wasted millions of taxpayer dollars,” the Democrats concluded in a 53-page summary of the investigation, which was shared with POLITICO and was released on Thursday.

Verma declined to comment through the health department’s top spokesperson, Michael Caputo, who described the report as “another reckless drive-by election year hit job.”

“The CMS Administrator will continue her unprecedented efforts to transform the American healthcare system to ensure health policy innovation drives public discussion — not purposefully timed political attacks,” Caputo said in a statement.

Stevens declined to address the specific line items

Chiefs, 49ers, Raiders win to start 2020 season

[email protected]_84 business weekly

SANTA CLARA — In a blink of a sucker-punched eye, 2020 brings us the NFL season tonight. Will it end on time Feb. 7, with the Lombardi Trophy on a Tampa Bay catwalk? Hold on, one prediction at a time, and let’s cut to my Week 1 nasal swabs:

Chiefs 24, Texans 17: The defending Super Bowl champs paid off their QB, tight end, head coach and GM. The 49ers pretty much did the same, minus the championship ring engraved with how the Chiefs overcame a 10-point deficit in SBLIV. (Line: Texans +9 1/2)

49ers 31, Cardinals 16: George Kittle vowed at the Super Bowl to go on a Revenge Tour, and it starts with an opponent that took out his ankle, knee and two ensuing games last year. “He’s going to go down as one of the best ever – if he stays healthy,” Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said
