The Raiders end the season with the worst record in the NFL. To celebrate, the team actually won a game (against the Kansas City Chiefs) and fired coach Pete Carroll the following day. On the plus side, the Raiders are bad enough to clinch the first pick in the next draft. [ESPN]
🤖 CES Invades Las Vegas
It’s day one of the Consumer Electronics Show, a showcase for the future of tech and the reason you can’t get a reservation at Gymkhana this week. More than 100,000 people are in town for the four-day event, which kicks off a record year for trade shows, helping Vegas rank as the top U.S. destination for meetings this year — up from fourth place last year.
