Photo: BMWI recently went back to visit my parents, which is always a great opportunity to catch up with my siblings, spend time with my nieces and nephews, and sleep in twin beds with horrible pillows for a few days. It also gives me a chance to spend some time with the E39 BMW 540i my parents have kept for me. I love this car, but unfortunately it’s 25 years old and this city is not the place to let German cars age.Also, I still believe it’s one of the best cars ever made. Everyone wants an M5 and I…

Star teams clearly draw viewers throughout the three weeks of the NFL season, but good games may draw even more viewers, and while traditional fans accustomed to watching the NFL on broadcast TV may grumble about the NFL’s growing presence on streaming services, early results suggest the NFL is turning to a different (i.e., younger) audience.If you’ve ever wondered why the Dallas Cowboys are on TV so often, Sunday’s game proves it. Despite the Cowboys’ mediocre performance at best, Sunday’s Dallas-Baltimore game on Fox drew 27.29 million viewers, making it the highest-rated broadcast of any network in that time slot.…

Fantasy football sit-and-start advice is always relative and league-specific. Many starts and sits are obvious, so this column will instead focus on fringe options that require serious thought. Good luck with your Week 3 lineups.Philadelphia Eagles @ New Orleans SaintsStarting pitcher: Rashid ShahidDerek Carr is the No. 2 fantasy QB despite New Orleans attempting the fewest passes in the league (40) through the first two weeks. Klint Kubiak’s extreme use of play-action and motion was a cheat code, helping the Saints score 91 points without attempting many passes after halftime. Shahid caught two touchdowns on just nine targets, so he’s…

It’s hard to say the Minnesota Vikings have the best coaching staff in the NFL. Andy Reid still hasn’t retired, after all.But they’re not far off.The Vikings moved to 3-0 this season and what they’re doing is remarkable. They were expected to finish last in the NFC North, and they used the 10th overall draft pick on quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who won’t play a snap this season. Without any contribution from their top-10 selection, the Vikings have won three in a row with a couple of high-quality wins. They beat the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2 and then got…

Colorado two-way sensation Travis Hunter had +3500 odds to win the Heisman Trophy at BetMGM as of Monday morning.That puts him 12th overall, below a group of mostly quarterback prospects including Cam Ward (Miami), Jackson Dart (Mississippi), Jalen Milroe (Alabama) and Arch Manning (Texas), who hasn’t played a game this season.The Las Vegas odds are predictions of the future, a lure for gamblers, not a referendum on who the Heisman Trophy voters actually want to call the “best player in the country.”So the poor odds are more of an indictment on the fools who vote for the Heisman than they…
