The three-point line has been around for decades at this point, and in recent years, players like Steph Curry and Caitlin Clark have become superstars thanks to their ability to drain threes seemingly at will.

There is arguably nothing more tragic than a parent losing a child – burying a child. And so it’s a terrible time for San Francisco 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward who is experiencing that sadness.
“We are heartbroken,” Ward said on his Instagram account on Tuesday, which announced Monday’s passing of little Amani Joy.

The worst fear has come to fruition for Stefon Diggs and the Houston Texans as it has been revealed that the wide receiver tore his ACL against the Indianapolis Colts this past Sunday and will miss the remainder of the season.
Adam Schefter and other NFL insiders reported the news on Tuesday, and while the Texans have yet to make a statement about Diggs’ injury, the franchise did post a photo of him on X with the caption “We’re with you.
