CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night, a person informed of the deal told The Associated Press. Chicago will receive a conditional 2025 pick, another person familiar with the details of the trade told the AP. The move is a strong signal the Bears will draft a QB -- perhaps USC’s Caleb Williams -- with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. Fields figures to back up nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson, who signed a one-year deal with the Steelers on Friday.

☆ Millennials stand to become the richest generation in history, after $90 trillion wealth transfer
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-01 | by ( Anna Bahney | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

However, over the next twenty years, Millennials are poised to inherit some $90 trillion of assets and become the richest generation in history – but only the ones who already come from affluent families, potentially deepening wealth inequality further. Between now and 2044 in the US, the Silent Generation and Baby Boomers are expected to hand over the reins of their significant wealth to Millennials, according to The Wealth Report, a periodic report from global property consultant Knight Frank. But whether you’re a Millennial on the receiving end of that wealth transfer is largely a lottery of birth. Looking ahead, the number of supremely wealth people is expected to increase by 28% over the next five years, according to the report. More growth in ultra-high-net-worth individuals is expected in Asia, including India, China, Malaysia and Indonesia, the report said.

☆ Millennials could become the richest generation ever — but only if they already come from money

Read previewIf you're a Millennial whose parents have a boatload of money, you're about to make your generation historically rich. The transfer in wealth will make "affluent millennials the richest generation in history," according to the report. "It goes beyond a simple shift of existing wealth," Pickett said. "I think the diversity of opportunity to create wealth has also grown — for example, there are YouTubers worth tens of millions. The report urges the financial sector to be ready for the influx in monied millennials by offering wealth management "on their wavelength."

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers will have to try and move on after a nightmarish loss to Arizona without quarterback Kenny Pickett. Pickett is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair a high right ankle sprain on Monday. Tomlin declined to get into specifics on how many games Pickett might miss. He missed multiple games during his 2020 season at the University of Pittsburgh after having surgery on his left ankle. 2 overall pick in the 2017 draft also took over against Jacksonville on Oct. 29 after Pickett left with a rib injury.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers fired embattled offensive coordinator Matt Canada on Tuesday, two-plus years into a tenure in which the team struggled to generate points and yards with regularity. The Steelers (6-4) have remained in playoff contention in spite of an offense that ranks 28th in yards and points. Political Cartoons View All 1260 ImagesPerhaps most damning for Canada is the way quarterback Kenny Pickett's growth has stagnated.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Kenny Pickett threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Diontae Johnson with 4:02 remaining and the Pittsburgh Steelers slipped past the Tennessee Titans 20-16 on Thursday. Tennessee rookie quarterback Will Levis played well in his second NFL start but couldn't match the electricity of his first, a four-touchdown masterpiece against Atlanta. The Titans said Burks had full movement in all his extremities, it was reported on the Amazon TV broadcast. The Titans responded to take a 13-10 halftime lead behind some poised play by Levis and Derrick Henry's unique brand of fury. Inside linebacker Cole Holcomb was carted off in the first quarter with what appeared to be a serious left knee injury.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters after the team's 24-10 win over the Green Bay Packers that he feared it was an Achilles injury. Cousins was 23-of-31 passing for 274 yards with two touchdowns at the time of the injury. While likely the worst injury to a quarterback in the early games on Sunday, Cousins was far from alone. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford left with a right thumb injury in Los Angeles' blowout road loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

HOUSTON (AP) — Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett sustained a knee injury in the third quarter Sunday against the Houston Texans and won't return. Trailing by 10, the Steelers went for it on fourth-and-1 from the Houston 33 with about 90 seconds left in the third quarter. But Pickett was sacked by Jonathan Greenard to give the Texans the ball back. Pickett remained on the ground for a couple of minutes after the hit before trainers came out to attend to him.

Two long-time industry executives told Reuters that Yellow's rates were roughly 10% to 20% below those of rivals. Loads in the so-called LTL market do not trade on the spot market and they vary based on the type and size of shipments, they said. "Yellow was way below" market rates, said Ken Adamo, chief of analytics at DAT Freight and Analytics, which operates one of North America's largest truck freight marketplaces. Unlike the highly fragmented trucking market, LTL is dominated by about a dozen players. Some providers are already raising rates, which could send LTL rates up 10% to 15% from current levels, Pickett said.

Aug 11 (Reuters) - Wildfires on Hawaii's Maui island and Big Island have killed at least 55 people, forced thousands of residents and tourists to evacuate, and devastated the historic resort city of Lahaina. WHAT'S DRIVING THE HAWAII WILDFIRES? Winds from Hurricane Dora, hundreds of miles southwest of the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean, have fanned the flames across the U.S. state, officials say. There was no estimate for the Upcountry fire in the mountainous center of the eastern mass of the island, Maui County said. The island of Maui lies to the north and west of the island of Hawaii.

☆ Opinion | The Montgomery Brawl Was, for Some, a Clarifying Moment
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-09 | by ( Charles M. Blow | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

The Alabama Sweet Tea Party. That was one nickname people gave to a brawl this past Saturday on a Montgomery, Ala., riverfront dock, captured in viral videos, after a group of white people attacked Damien Pickett, a Black riverboat co-captain who was trying to clear a berth for his vessel, and a group of Black people came to Pickett’s defense. In some obvious ways the whole episode is sad: The situation should never have descended into violence. The people who were asked to move their boat so that the riverboat could dock in its reserved space should simply have complied. But in other ways, many Black people, in particular, saw it as an unfortunate but practically unavoidable response to what can feel like an unending stream of incidents in which Black people are publicly victimized, with no one willing or able to intervene or render aid.

CNN —Police say additional charges are likely as they investigate a large, chaotic caught-on-video brawl at a riverfront dock in Montgomery, Alabama, on Saturday that has so far resulted in arrest warrants for three men. Arrest warrants were issued Tuesday for three men, all of them members of the private pontoon boat, Albert said at a press conference. A man seen wielding a chair in social media videos during the brawl is being asked to contact police, Albert said. Here’s what we know about what unfolded at the riverfront dock Saturday and the ongoing investigation. The chief told CNN the police department had spent hours investigating what happened to ensure that they get it right.
