• Chargers release FB Bobby Holly after close competition

  04-09-2020 23:48

  That now likely means Gabe Nabers has won the fullback opening to replace Derek Watt, who signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the offseason.

• Are mortgage rates headed higher?

  04-09-2020 23:26
  
  The interest rate on the most popular mortgage has fallen to record lows for three months in a row. That streak might snap in September.
  The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 3.08% in August, down from the average of 3.18% in July and 3.33% in June. Fixed mortgage rates have fallen more than three-quarters of a percentage point in a year, motivating many homeowners to refinance.
  It’s possible that mortgage rates will continue to drift downward in September, but several forces could comb
