Sunday, November 29, 2020 -- Part 3

Sports: wow, NFL today looks bleak until maybe the Sunday night football game. Breaking: NFL says Broncos' quarterback can't play today .... because ... he broke protocol. LOL. Shooting self in foot. Oh, I misread that. Not the Broncos' quarterback but all of the Broncos' quarterbacks. Somehow there must be more to the story. I must be missing something. If accurate, it should be a fun game to watch. LOL. NFL today. Broncos were to play the Saints later this afternoon. And apparently this game will be on Fox. My hunch? This will be the most-watched NFL game this year. LOL.

From Yahoo!Sports:
On Sunday afternoon, in Week 12 of the weirdest NFL season ever, the Denver Broncos will take to their home field without a quarterback. 
So they’ll reportedly turn to a practice squad wide receiver who has never played an NFL snap
And who, one month ago, was working a normal-person job. And who, when he last did anything resembling quarterbacking in 2018, completed two of eight passes for 2 yards – and one interception. 
With Denver’s entire QBs room ineligible due to COVID-19 contact tracing, the team will likely use Kendall Hinton, a former quarterback at Wake Forest and Southern Durham (N.C.) High School whom the Broncos signed to their practice squad earlier this month.

Egg on face: ESPN's Steven A. Smith said he was genuinely afraid for Roy Jones, Jr's life. Steven A. Smith was genuinely afraid Roy Jones would be severely injured if not killed by Mike Tyson.That was Friday, November 27, 2020. In fact: a draw.

Dividends: from Investopedia: Garmin (really?), Starbucks (okay, possibly), Target (okay, but share appreciation seems to be the bigger opportunity for Target), AbbVie (this one pops up often on many lists), and, BlackRock (I seldom see this on dividend lists). 

Perhaps for dividend growth but none of these returns impress me -- it must have been a slow day for Investopedia or someone was talking their book, as they say. Why start with a company with low dividend and wait for growth? Start with a great company with potential for growth that is already paying a nice dividend. Of the five mentioned above, none have a remarkable dividend except for AbbVie.

Global warming, reality sucks: British coal plants are being fired up to meet "temporary" electricity shortfall. Remaining UK coal plants supply only 6% of the grid's electricity to cover power supply drop and cold weather. Link here. Sent by a reader; huge thanks.

Britain has fired up some of its last remaining coal power plants to help keep the lights on as the country’s wind turbines slow over a few days and the demand for electricity rises.

Three of the UK’s last coal power plants, operating at Drax, West Burton, and Ratcliffe, were called on to supply 6% of electricity on Thursday morning.

Coal’s share of the electricity mix was roughly double the share of wind and solar power in the electricity mix, and six times the average contribution made by coal plants in the final months of last year.

The coal plants are likely to keep running over the next few days, alongside a fleet of gas-fired power plants, before breezy weather returns to help meet the rising demand for electricity from renewable energy sources.
