2…Tennessee Titans had No positive tests for corona virus for the second consecutive day. Which could allow the team to reopen its facility.

The NFL requires clubs experiencing outbreaks to have at least two consecutive days without a positive to consider clearing them to return, so it’s possible the Titans will be back at practice Wednesday. Tennessee’s outbreak stands at 20 between players and personnel. Any additional cases moving forward would put Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills in serious jeopardy.

The Titans had their Week 4 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers rescheduled to Week 7.

The NFL previously said it won’t reopen the AFC South club’s facility until they’re “convinced” the transmission event is at an end.

  • “Scream” (22%)
  • “The Exorcist” (21%)
  • “Beetlejuice” (21%)

8…Looking for a “safe investment?’

A pair of Air Jordans just sold at auction for a record-breaking $560-thousand…and some number crunchers suggest they could be used as a long-term investment. In fact, industry experts have noticed that Jordans tend to appreciate over time, with more than 80% of Jordans increasing in value each year – and some even doubling in resale value. So while it might seem stupid to blow a ton of money on fresh kicks, it actually could be better for your bottom line than getting into some boring stocks and bonds.
