GOP frontrunners fail to talk solutions on trips to S.C. If a candidate relies solely on campaign strategy as the path to obtaining office, they are not the best candidate for the job. Since 1980, the winner of the South Carolina primary has secured the Republican nomination. So naturally, South Carolina was a hot spot for candidates last week.
MLB should focus on discipline for more serious transgressions, not poker games
NFL, viewers shouldn't expect defensive tackle's career to be similar to Randy Moss Albert Haynesworth is 30 years old. He’s at the crossroads of his career, but he’s financially set. The Patriots acquired the former star for a fifth-round draft pick after wasting away for two seasons in Washington, D.C. Sounds quite familiar to another Patriots project.
Association should consider shortening players’ contracts, terminating women’s league A bunch of entitled, overpaid guys — who do you think of in the NBA? Using the show “Entourage” as an analogy, the NBA players are Vince Chase; the owners are Ari Gold. Talent puts on the performance and is compensated by owners. Vince makes money without Ari. Vince has a unique talent that prints money. Ari does too. Ari can shift to new clientele, open his own agency or invest in an NFL team. But Vince is putting on the performance and Ari is negotiating behind the scenes. The players are the most important entity and expense for the owners. Alternatives must be examined to remove the losses in the NBA. Contracts should be shortened to a maximum of four years, the WNBA must be canned, former players should not be hired as general managers and jerseys must be used as advertisements.
Athletes shouldn’t be criticized for being real, genuine to public James Harrison is a throwback in every sense. He recently appeared in a Men's Journal magazine player profile. The article begins with Harrison pictured shirtless with two guns across his upper body. His apology issued later enhances the photo, "Collecting guns is a hobby ... I believe in the right to bear arms ... I like to hunt. I like to fish. I could have just as easily posed with my fishing poles."
Leagues that make less money
Fans, drafters develop schemas from seeing prior trends in NBA history. Stereotyping — it’s something we all do to a slight degree. It’s not because we’re inherently racist, but more so because our brains are incapable of processing each individual person. We develop what social psychologists call schemas, or preconceived mental shortcuts, to store social information. When we begin to act or treat people differently because of schemas, a problem arises. Many NBA draft experts have treated white prospects differently in their evaluations. Jimmer Fredette is described as deceptively quick defensive liability with high character and a high basketball IQ. Bismack Biyombo is described as freakishly athletic. These characteristics may be correct in some circumstances, but we must evaluate NBA prospects case by case. If Biyombo were described as deceptively smart, we’d have an issue. How could the leading college scorer in 2010-11 be deceptively quick? He must be blatantly quick to score 28.9 points per game.
