ROCKY RIVER, Ohio (AP) — Standing a few feet from a golf green, Deshaun Watson made a pitch for DeAndre Hopkins to join him in Cleveland.The Browns quarterback said Tuesday that he has spoken to Hopkins, his close friend and former Houston teammate, and encouraged the three-time All-Pro wide receiver to consider a reunion. Hopkins is a free agent after the Arizona Cardinals released him last week.“Of course we would love to have him,” Watson said at the Browns charity golf outing. “He knows that we had a lot of connections, but that’s kind of out of my range of things. So all I can do is make a call and see what happens and let AB (Browns general manager Andrew Berry) do the rest.”The Browns appear to be a longshot to land the 30-year-old Hopkins because of a lack of salary cap space. But Cleveland wasn’t expected to get Watson either until they lured him with a fully guaranteed $230 million contract.The idea of throwing again to Hopkins — they were teammates for three seasons...Michael Jordan era “un jugador horrible” y “era horrible jugar con él”, dice Scottie Pippen

(CNN) — Entre 1990 y 1998, los Chicago Bulls ganaron seis campeonatos de la NBA, posiblemente la mejor racha de la historia del deporte norteamericano. De hecho, los dos únicos años en los que los Bulls no ganaron el título fue cuando Michael Jordan probó su suerte en el béisbol.La racha fue encabezada por Jordan, posiblemente el mejor jugador de baloncesto de todos los tiempos, pero ese nivel de éxito no habría sido posible sin un número 2 complementario, el Robin de su Batman, que en este caso fue Scottie Pippen.Los papeles clave desempeñados por “His Airness” y Pippen en el éxito de Chicago ocuparon un lugar destacado en “The Last Dance” de Netflix, la aclamada serie documental que detalla la etapa de Jordan en la franquicia, en particular, su último año con el equipo en la temporada 1997/98.Sin embargo, Pippen describió a Jordan como un “jugador horrible” hablando en el podcast “Gimme the Hot Sauce” de su excompañero de los B...Inflation cutting into Coloradans' vacation plans

This year, 63% plan a vacation.Affordability, though, is increasingly the reason for not planning a vacation.

Among that 58%, nearly two-thirds (62%) said it was directly because of inflation or rising prices. How much cheaper are suburbs than Denver itself?
