Why Nfl Trades Are So Rare

To many, it seems odd that the NFL has not embraced trades the way other leagues have. Bad teams in other sports become sellers, and the trade deadline presents an option for teams to get out of bad contracts or receive something in return for players who may not be in their future plans. The NFL trade deadline, which in 2019 is Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 4 p.m. ET, would seem to be a perfect opportunity for teams to acquire draft picks....

Why Seri To Arsenal Makes Sense After Seeing Wenger Miss The Boat In Previous Transfer Markets

Got one? Well, Arsene Wenger nearly signed him. Actually, think of any player to have caught the eye away from north London in the last 20 years. Wenger almost signed him, too. Giroud plans to be ’loyal warrior' He didn’t, but he could have and it’s important not to get bogged down in the details here. Yes, the Gunners could have benefitted from the considerable talents of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Yaya Toure and Gianluigi Buffon down the years, but they haven’t and dwelling on that point for too long is only going to raise the blood pressure or spark fits of uncontrollable laughter, depending on which side of the Arsenal fence you fall....

Why South Africa Should Give Up Picking Players Based On The Racial Quota System

The decision to include Philander was taken after South African cricket’s governing body insisted that a black player should be picked in the side. That demand from the board clearly didn’t go down well with their captain AB de Villiers, who threatened to pull out of the encounter at one point. The racial quota system has been an epidemic in South African cricket and it has robbed them of several extremely talented players, who have been forced to move on to other countries in search of better opportunities....

Why The Nfl Adjusted Its Week 10 Schedule To Make Room For The Masters

Normally the Masters wouldn’t conflict with the NFL, but because of COVID-19, it had to be rescheduled from April to November. Golf tournament final rounds usually take place on Sunday, as is the case here, in direct conflict with the NFL. And since CBS is carrying the Masters, it won’t be showing any NFL games at 1 p.m. ET, and we’ll also be without Tony Romo’s lovely vocal chords for a week....

Why The Self Revive Mechanic In Apex Legends Was So Unpopular

Gear in Apex Legends works much like a standard battle royale; with higher tier items providing more defense or backpack space. But Apex Legends also has level 4 tier items. These golden items share similar stats as level 3 items but have added effects that can aid the user and their squad. A level 4 helmet decreases a legend’s tactical and ultimate ability cooldowns. A level 4 Body Shield improves the effects of minor heal items like Syringes and Shield Cells....

Why Upgrade When The 2018 Ipad Is So Good

In 2018, the iPad Pro was a huge leap forward in power, design, and compatibility with then-current and future accessories. It was so good that the 2020 “update” gained nothing more than an upgraded camera. It remains so competitive that the rumored new features for the 2021 iPad Pro barely seem worth the bother. Did Apple make the 2018 iPad Pro too good? “The iPad Pro 2018 was definitely a game-changer,” tech and gadget reviewer Edward Eugen told Lifewire via email....

The most famous reasons given for his exclusion from the elite panel of batsmen is that most of his runs have come against minnows and that he has scored most part of his runs on the flat roads of the sub-continent....

Why Millennials And Gen Z Aren T Proud To Be American

Polling shows there’s a patriotism gap between older and younger Americans; generation Z and Millennials are less likely to say yes to the question of national pride than those born in the decades preceding them. Sixty-seven percent of 1,424 U.S. adults in I&I/TIPP polling said they were extremely or very proud to be American when asked between June 30 and July 2, during the build-up to Independence Day. But among those aged 18 to 24, just 36 percent said the same, with 35 percent in that age bracket stating they were only slightly or not at all proud to be American....
