Suddenly, consumers began noticing the curious four-foot refrigerators in pet-food stores, bedecked with decals about locally sourced ingredients and all-natural alternatives to the usual fare—and stocked with loaves of wrapped plastic that looked more like Jimmy Dean pork sausage rolls than the usual kibble or cans....

Capitals forward Daniel Winnik is without slightly less ear than what he had when he started Thursday’s game against the Panthers.

In March, the U.S. Federal Reserve, the nation’s central bank, cut interest rates to 0-0.25% from 1-1.25% as part of the effort to spur investment and boost consumer spending. The auto industry followed with seven-year, zero-percent financing on new cars, and that has drawn buyers to showrooms despite continued economic uncertainty during the pandemic. “That got a lot of people back into the market quickly because it was too good a deal,” Charlie Chesbrough, senior economist at Cox Automotive, an Atlanta-based company known for a range of products including Kelley Blue Book, Dealer....

The Cardinals quarterback addressed the rumors surrounding his future with the team, saying he knew the NFL was a business and him being traded wasn’t anything personal. “I think (last) season probably went as poorly as it could possibly go,” Rosen said in an interview with SI TV. “But within that, I had an unbelievable time. … “We won three games and each one of those wins, to me, felt like we won the Super Bowl, and that feeling is so intoxicating and that’s why I just want nothing more than to be part of a team next year and have the same opportunities to go out and compete....
