Ruben Amorim has said himself that Kobbie Mainoo is... very good around the box & can make small space connections well. Mainoo has scored massive goals in the FA Cup final vs Man City, a stunner against Liverpool, an unbelievable solo goal to win the game at Wolves, & more. Saying what he just did after West Ham is proper nasty, If Manchester United let Marcus Rashford & Kobbie Mainoo walk out of the club for a manager who has won 13/41 league games, it’s a disgrace against everything the club should stand for. Youth, Courage & Success. All three of them are the opposite from Ruben Amorim. No interest in Youth, Not an ounce of courage & certainly not successful.show more

With 9,000 away fans in the ground, let’s build a proper Tottenham cup atmosphere. Forget the league. Forget everything else. This is the FA Cup – one of the greatest trophies in world football.

It’s the anniversary of Chris Waddle’s wonder goal at... Goodison in 1997. Chris Kamara’s Bradford are struggling at the foot of the First Division. The FA Cup offers a reprieve from their relegation fight. Early in the second half, with the Blues already a goal down, a moment of madness from Andrei Kanchelskis gives Waddle a sight of goal. The wily 36-year-old, who moved to the Bantams after an unhappy spell at Falkirk, sees the keeper off his line. That trusty left peg, which had performed magic at Newcastle, Spurs, Marseille, Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland over the years, conjures up one last trick. The celebration is one of a man still raging against the dying of the light. He’s not done yet. The candle of greatness still flickered.show more

68 college students played video games an hour a... day for 30 weeks. They got measurably smarter. EEG brain scans confirmed it. The setup was simple. Half the group played League of Legends, an action game. The other half played Legends of the Three Kingdoms, a strategy card game. Same hours, same schedule, no gaming experience for anyone going in. Both groups improved on attention, working memory, and executive function. The League group's gains were significantly larger in spatial attention and spatial working memory. The benefits were still measurable 10 weeks after the gaming stopped. None of this is new. Daphne Bavelier's lab at the University of Geneva has been replicating this finding since the early 2000s. Her 2018 meta-analysis in Psychological Bulletin pulled data from 8,970 participants across 15 years and found the same thing. Action games train attentional control, a brain skill that transfers to other tasks. Strategy games train deliberation, which mostly stays inside the strategy game. The mechanism is the counterintuitive part. Action games train your brain by giving you no time to think. The brain can't deliberate. League of Legends throws 9 champions, hundreds of minions, dozens of abilities, mana, cooldowns, and map state at you, all updating in milliseconds. The brain learns to perceive faster instead. That perceptual speed transfers to anything else that demands the same skill. Including surgery. The 2007 Rosser study in Archives of Surgery found that laparoscopic surgeons who played video games more than 3 hours a week made 37% fewer errors, completed procedures 27% faster, and scored 42% higher on overall performance. The top third of gamers made 47% fewer errors. Laparoscopic surgery is a 2D screen with distorted depth perception, remote-controlled instruments, and multiple data streams updating in real time. The cognitive profile is almost identical to an action video game. The 10-week persistence is the part that should change how this gets discussed. If the gains were just from practicing the game, they would have disappeared the moment the students stopped playing. They didn't. The 30 weeks rewired the perceptual system, and the rewiring stayed.show more

Dear Norway fans, Thank you & I’ll say it... again… you have been, beyond any argument, the most extraordinary supporters at this entire tournament. From a country of five and a half million people, you crossed oceans, packed out stadiums, dressed American streets in red and white and transformed every single fixture into a carnival of noise, pride and unshakeable joy. Three decades away from football’s biggest stage, and yet you returned carrying no sense of entitlement: only pure, infectious energy. Your team repaid every ounce of that devotion, reaching a first ever World Cup quarter-final in the nation’s history, smashing straight through the old ceiling of the last 16 that had stood since 1938 and 1998. a stunning knockout of Brazil to even get there (a nation Norway have somehow never lost to across World Cup history). The Viking Row wasn’t just a celebration for your own players. It moved rivals. It captivated neutrals. It swept up the entire watching planet. England brought the run to a close. But nothing can erase what unfolded here. The finest chapter Norwegian football has ever produced. Walk away with your heads held high. Thank you, Norway. For the emotion. For the history you carved out. For the row we’ll be talking about for years to come. Unforgettable. 🇳🇴show more

Dustin Johnson opened LIV Golf Andalucia with a 5... over par 76. Since then he’s shot rounds of 3 under par 68, and a sensational 7 under par 64 today, with the most nonchalant ace ever, to climb into the top 5 at Valderrama. He spoke about the bounce back after the round: “Yeah, I know it's weird, but I didn't play bad the first day. It was like everything that could -- missed quite a few putts and hit a lot of good shots and ended up in bad spots. Yeah, I didn't feel like -- it was a really easy 5-over. Then obviously came back and played really nicely the last two days. Even today, I know I shot 7-under which is a really good score, but I played the par-5s even. “Yeah, I'm happy, obviously very happy with the score and very pleased with how I'm swinging the golf club.” DJ hasn’t won anywhere in the world for more than 2 years. He’ll start tomorrow 5 shots off the lead of Tyrrell Hatton. Dustin Johnson 4Aces GC LIV Golfshow more

Today's #SaturdaySleeper is RHP Derek Vartanian (Campbell Baseball). He... comes to Campbell by way of Gaston College, where last season he pitched his way to a 3.08 ERA with an impressive strikeout-to-walk ratio of 76-to-9 across 76 IP. Slender build at 6'4", 200-lbs. Short, quick arm stroke and attacks from a high-three quarter slot. Vartanian's FB will sit in the 93-96 range, but this fall he topped out at 98. Features big time carry through the zone with upwards of 24" of IVB. There is still likely more in the tank, especially with better use of his lower-half. Vartanian features two distinct breaking balls with a SL and CB. High-80s gyro SL is still developing, but at times flashes effective late, lateral movement. Low-80s CB boasts big time depth with some teeth and almost true 12-6 break. His best secondary pitch is his Splitter. It plays really well off his FB as it sits 80-82, and features big time fade to the arm side with some tumble. Vartanian does an excellent job of killing spin, and the spin rate on his changeup will get as low as 800 rpm. Vartanian this spring will anchor Campbell's rotation and be the cornerstone of the Camels pitching staff. An advanced strike thrower whose stuff will only tick up, Vartanian profiles as a starter professionally and a potential Top 5 round pick this July.show more

Custodial death of an 18 year old Irfan in... Karachi . Irfan who belonged to Ahmedpur Sharqia had recently come to Karachi to live with his uncle after being affected by the disastrous flood. On the morning of 11:30am on 22nd October he along with three of his relatives Kamran, Salman and Nasir were abducted from the roadside by Police Officials of SIU/CIA who registered no case, did not cause any formal arrest and subject the youth to torture resulting in his death after which they left his body at JPMC. The families got a call from police on the night of 23rd Oct to come and collect the three boys. The Police trying to cover their steps registered a bogus and illegal FIR under the wrong provisions of law through SHO SIU/CIA as Sadr PS under Section 319 PPC which relates to Qatl-e-khata and is a bailable offence. This is a case of murder under Section 302 PPC punishable under Section 9 of the Torture and Custodial Death (Prevention and Punishment) Act 2022 which mandates tries all guilty police officials including all aiders and abettors. The family after protesting for 5 days in Karachi have left for Ahmedpur Sharqia for Irfan's burial. They were not involved during the Post mortem of the body and have not been provided any report as yet. Under the Custodial Torture law any and all investigating is exclusive mandate of FIA under the supervision of National Commission of Human Rights. The high ups of Sindh Police in order to appease the media have suspended some of the officials involved in the incident but even they are aware that a faulty FIR has been registered and proper proceedings are not taking place. We demand that National Commission for Human Rights takes immediate notice of this incident and a Complaint be registered with FIA without further delay, the police official be arrested and proper investigation be launched against Irfan's custodial death and without wasting any time the testimony of Salman, Kamran and Nasir be preserved by recording their statements under Section 164 Cr.P.C before magistrate. #JusticeForIrfanshow more

MJ: "You only got three, I got six." When... asked in 2017, who ranks higher between LeBron and Kobe, MJ picked Kobe. His reasoning: "Would I rank LeBron over Kobe in terms of best of all time? No. There's something about five that beats three." The goal has always been to win championships. Trying to include Robert Horry in the conversation is just a red herring. People try and use Kobe's 00 Finals average as an indictment to his contribution to winning that ring but fail to bring up Kobe's defense in game one, holding Reggie Miller to 1-16 in a decisive 104-87 victory. Feel free to read that again. To show you Kobe's value, he was injured in game 2 after almost 9 minutes of play and what was a 17 point victory turned into a 6 point victory and a 9 point loss in game 3 without him. Indiana could've easily won game 4 after Shaq fouled out, and we all know what happened next. Kobe earned that ring despite how you interpret the box score. At the end of the day, Kobe still has five championships that the Lakers wouldn't have won without him. The proof in that statement lies in the fact that when Kobe had a lesser role in 97, 98, & 99, they were gentlemen swept, swept, and swept before even making the finals. The minute Kobe's role increased, they rattled off three straight championships. That's not a coincidence...show more
