Why The Texans And Others Won T Take Johnny Football

It’s the line agents sell to get clients on board. It’s the line players sell themselves to remain confident throughout the draft process. It’s the line the mock draft-building media sells fans. When it comes to Johnny Manziel's draft future, it only takes one team to make him the face of its franchise.

Why Tony Dungy Wouldn T Have Drafted Michael Sam

Dungy, the former Buccaneers and Colts Super-Bowl winning coach, explained to the Tampa Tribune why he, if in Jeff Fisher’s shoes, would have passed on Sam in the seventh round of the 2014 draft. “I wouldn’t have taken him,” Dungy told the newspaper. “Not because I don’t believe Michael Sam should have a chance to play, but I wouldn’t want to deal with all of it. It’s not going to be totally smooth … things will happen....

Why Louis Van Gaal Kissed Ander Herrera At Half Time Against Aston Villa

Van Gaal told MUTV: “He has a very good kicking technique and he should only be more composed. “I said to him ‘you have to control the ball before you shoot’. “I said that to him again in yesterday’s training session, and then I kissed him at half-time because he had controlled the ball for the first time in his life and then he shot! “But then I came after the second half to him and he said ‘without control I can do it also!...

Why Mlb Thinks Australia Is On Verge Of A Baseball Boom

Baseball’s oldest team still opens at home, facing the Cardinals on March 31, but gone is the traditional opening day, replaced by a Sunday evening “Opening Night” affair pitting two high-profile teams on ESPN. For the last 15 years, MLB has played its first games even earlier and further away from Cincinnati. Since 1999, when the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres met in Monterrey, Mexico, baseball has opened in Tokyo four times (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012) and San Juan, P....

Why Mourinho S Return To Chelsea Could Doom Arsenal

At the risk of stating the obvious, Jose Mourinho’s return to Chelsea does not make life any easier for Arsenal going into the 2013-14 season. The managerial turmoil at the club has not slowed the club much over the last few seasons, as Chelsea won the Europa League (yes, it does count as an accomplishment), the Champions League last year, the EPL in 2010, and finished above us every year except 2013, when their focus on the Champions League saw them finish 5th....

Why Paco Alc Cer Needs To Be Starting Every Match For Barcelona

Ernesto Valverde has a growing list of injured top team players and Barcelona cannot afford to transfer players like Alcácer who can still have an impact. Luis Suárez may have scored a double this weekend against Leganés, but his form has also been questionable this season. In fairness, both of his goals this week came from opportunities that Alcácer created and which fell invitingly to the Uruguayan. If we consider the five La Liga games that Alcácer has played for Barcelona this season, out of five games he has two goals and eight shots....

Why Roman Reigns Entering At 30 Can Set Up His Heel Turn

Or do they just have some kind of malady that makes boos and cheers sound alike? These were the questions that did the rounds on Twitter when Roman Reigns was the final entrant in the Royal Rumble match earlier this week. Putting him in a position that the audience was hoping would be filled by a debuting/returning Superstar, seems like a baffling decision on the surface, but on closer inspection, it has all the makings of a classic Vince McMahon troll job....

Why Roy Keane Is Right To Attack Ed Woodward Phil Jones And Chris Smalling

Keane was a vocal supporter of David Moyes throughout the Scot’s ill-fated 10-month tenure, and has criticized his sacking, suggesting that Woodward’s poor transfer policy last summer was more to blame for the mess United were last season. “He [Moyes] had one transfer window, and it’s not always down to the manager when players don’t come in,” said Keane. “I think Ed Woodward needs to look at himself. He’s got to get deals done....

Why Sanctions On Russia Will Fail Without Diplomacy Opinion

It is of course proper to express moral outrage against Russia’s invasion and attacks on civilians. And yet, there are good reasons to believe that the response has been driven more by emotion than reason, which is unfortunate because relying on moral outrage as a guide to policy can cloud judgment and make it difficult if not impossible to achieve desirable outcomes. In the case of Ukraine, those outcomes are urgent: minimizing economic damage and the loss of life....

Why Some U.S. Conservatives Are Finding Common Cause With Russia

Much of the U.S. right, particularly in Congress, still subscribe to anti-Kremlin positions, but a vocal minority have been taking positions that are either sympathetic towards, or openly supportive of, Vladimir Putin’s Russia. In February 2022, just days before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began, former President Donald Trump praised Putin for the “very savvy” and “genius” move of declaring two regions of Eastern Ukraine, which were partly under the control of pro-Russian separatists, to be independent states....

After driving your Mercedes for months, dealing with some mechanical glitches but still appreciating the car’s splendor, somebody asks whether you’re willing to sell it.
