ceedee lamb not going to training camp

Dallas Cowboys Wide Receiver CeeDee Lamb not going to training camp

The Dallas Cowboys are returning to Oxnard, California, but Pro Bowl wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will not be joining them. Lamb did not show up at the Dallas Cowboys training camp on Wednesday and awaits a contract extension. CeeDee and the Cowboys have worked out a new deal, but are yet to come to an agreement. According to Tom Pelissero, Lamb was not on the team traveling to California on Wednesday, which was the team’s official reporting day. It is the continuation of an offseason impasse between one of the greatest receivers in the NFL and the team that drafted him. Lamb has been a no-show for voluntary workouts and compulsory minicamp. As was the case with the workouts, he will pay daily fines. In an offseason in which most of his elite WR brothers; the Minnesota Vikings’ Justin Jefferson, the Philadelphia Eagles’ A.J Brown and DeVonta Smith and the Detroit Lions’ Amon-Ra St. Brown has gotten profitable extensions, Lamb waits for what he believes he has earned. The 2020 NFL Draft first-rounder is owed $17.9 million in 2924 on the fifth-year option. Lamb is off his third straight Pro Bowl season and one in which he got his first All-Pro accolade. He gathered an NFL-and career-high 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns; each of the latter career bests. An epitome of consistency, since he was a 935-yard rookie, Lamb has successive 1,000-yard seasons with each of the last two coming on 100-plus catches. Lamb is one of three Dallas superstars in line for new contracts. Quarterback Dak Prescott is set to play the last year of his present contract, while linebacker Micah Parsons is also on the agenda for a mega-extension.

orioles advised to go all-in for mlb trade deadline

Baltimore Orioles advised to go ‘all-in’ for MLB Trade Deadline

The Baltimore Orioles are in an excellent position with the July 30 MLB trade deadline coming up. Maintaining the best farm system in baseball and arguably the top team in Major League Baseball, this team can do a lot to improve. Finding a starting pitcher has been the Orioles major focus for weeks, and there is a chance that they will sign a pitcher like Tarik Skubal. It is unclear if the Detroit Tigers would trade Skubal, but if there is one team he is interested in, it would be Baltimore. A package would perhaps start with Jackson Holliday, the No.1 prospect in baseball. Whether the Orioles want to trade him or not is left to be seen, but they will likely not get Skubal back if he was not in the deal. Although Holliday is a remarkable player and has the potential to be a superstar one day, trading for Skubal gives Baltimore a sure ace in their squad. While they already have Corbin Burnes, getting a 1-2 punch that would be better than any in baseball, would set them up well for October and in future if they pay Burnes. At the end of the day, Holliday is still a prospect, and until he proves that he can play at the big league level, there is not much to report on him. This is why the Orioles front office has to consider moving him, no matter how crazy it starts. Anthony Castrovince from MLB.com did a preview of the trade deadline and ranked nine teams that should be “all-in,” including Baltimore. He highlighted the fact that they were No.1 on this list last year and had a quiet deadline. Castrovince stated that how the rest of the season played out only adds to the fact that they need to be aggressive this time around. “The O’s were No. 1 on this list a year ago, yet had a tepid Trade Deadline that arguably came back to bite them come October. “But the offseason Corbin Burnes trade kicked this club into another gear. And given that Baltimore is still short on controllable starters and has endured season-ending injuries to Kyle Bradish, John Means and Tyler Wells, we expect that aggression to continue.” He mentioned which player the Orioles could acquire, which included Skubal. However, Castrovince also added that they would be “venturing” into Holliday territory in that scenario.  Whether they trade for Skubal or not, there will be other ways to enhance this roster. Baltimore apparently has a window that could be open for the coming years, but as other teams have learned in baseball, windows are narrower than they look.  There is no reason for the Orioles not to do everything they can to improve their roster now.

paul george to pursue championship with 76ers

Audacious Paul George to pursue championship with 76ers

Paul George has joined Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid to form a formidable trio that will bring the Philadelphia 76ers their first title since 1983. Before George, Tyrese Maxey was asked to be patient, and the millions he wanted will come. Perhaps an NBA championship too. Maxey was sceptical a year ago when the 76ers asked their guard; who was not yet an All-Star, had not dropped 50 points in a match three times to wait until this summer to sign a contract extension.  Philadelphia had a solid plan: Maxey would start the offseason with a salary cap hold of $13 million dollars, a low figure by NBA standards. However, this allowed the team to enter free agency with roughly $65 million to spend on building their roster. They added a possible superstart to join Tyrese and 2023 NBA MVP and Olympian Joel Embiid. Enter, Paul George. With money to splurge, the 76ers convinced George to leave the Los Angeles Clippers. He signed a four-year, $212 million contract with them. Philadelphia and team president Daryl Morey did not forget about Maxey, either. The NBA’s Most Improved Player, Maxey was compensated for his patience with a five-year, $204 million extension. The 76ers dedicated over $400 million in salary to two players. They believe places them as the top competitors to defeat the NBA champion Boston Celtics and Jayson Tatum. The 76ers gave Maxey his due for the biggest assist of his career. “By being patient, he allowed us to put this offseason together, to really put us in position to be one of the very few legitimate contenders in the league this year,” Morey said. The 76ers believe they were worthy contenders for years, only for a group of second-fiddlers to pass through town with nothing much to show except postseason busts for their time here. Sixers fans can read off the list of lemons easily, from Ben Simmons to Tobias Harris; from Jimmy Butler to Al Horford; from Markelle Fultz to James Harden. George and Maxey both sat for their first formal press conferences on Tuesday at the 76ers’ New Jersey complex. This is complete with ownership, the front office and even the All-Star duo, insisting that next season will be as good as it gets for the team. “I think we are set up,” team owner Josh Harris said. “It’s hard not to be excited about this team. I’ve been here for the last 10 years, 12 years, and this is among, if not the best team, we’ve had since I’ve been here.” Maxey basically took a leap of faith by believing that he would still get the money a year later and the 21st overall pick in the 2020 draft has found a home in Philadelphia. “I understood what the end goal was,” Maxey said. “Sometimes you have to realise that.” George, who has averaged 20.8 points over a 14-year career, wanted to move on from the Clippers and refused a player option in his contract for $48.8 million in 2024-25 that ended a five-year stretch with the team in which he averaged at least 21.5 points each season. George said “Philly was No. 1″ for his top choice in free agency because the 76ers “kind of fit my game and fit where I was at in my career.” Perhaps. Philadelphia, rose to the top spot more because they offered up to $60 million over the Clippers; offer, one that George referred to as “disrespectful.’’ George stated earlier this month on his podcast that he “never wanted to leave LA’’ and would have signed with the Clippers had they given the three-year, $150-million extension they offered Kawhi Leonard. He also wanted a no-trade clause. He said Los Angeles would not give him a four-year, $212-million contract, or any deal without the promise of a no-trade clause. George said on Tuesday there was no “ill will’’ toward the Clippers. He thanked the team for allowing him to play in his home city and for a “legitimate shot to chase a championship every season.’’ He essentially traded a Big Three with Leonard and Harden in Los Angeles for a chance to join Maxey and Embiid and form a triple treat in Philly. “Joel has secretly been one of my closest All-Star Game friends,” George said. “It kind of felt inevitable that at some point, we would link up and be teammates.” George was enticed at his California home by a contingent that included Harris, Morey, coach Nick Nurse and even 76ers legend and Hall of Famer Julius Erving. Weather delays forced a late arrival at George’s home.

Bayern stick to De Ligt price after new Manchester United offer

Bayern Munich are now holding on to their price for Matthijs De Ligt. Manchester United have made two offers for the defender, but their new price of €35m is still short of what Bayern is accepting. Sky Deutschland’s Florian Plettenberg says Munich are willing to sell Matthijs, but only for a price of  €50m.  Manchester’s manager Erik ten Hag welcomed Leny Yoro from Lille last week, but still wants a more experienced center-half added this summer. De Ligt was Ten Hag’s captain at Ajax and they have been close since then. The defender has already accepted personal terms with United in hopes of a reunion.

madrid to end all relationships with super agent mendes

Infuriated Real Madrid to end all relationships with Super Agent Mendes

An enraged Real Madrid management is ready to sever all ties with super agent Jorge Mendes. According to Okdiario, Real Chiefs are angry after Jorge took Leny Yoro to Manchester United ahead of them this summer.  Real knew Yoro chose Madrid over United and the player had told them that he preferred Madrid.  But Mendes demanded a €10m-a-year personal terms deal for Yoro which turned off Real, alongside Lille’s  €63 valuation. And instead of concluding his final year at LOSC before joining Madrid, Yoro and Mendes accepted Manchester’s proposal. But, it is not only his decision for Yoro that annoyed Real. The agent had also stolen away prodigy Paulo Iago to Sporting CP. Real Madrid offered Iago new contracts to continue schooling inside La Fabrica, but instead Mendes took him to Sporting.  On that note, Madrid directors are now considering ending all business relationships with him and rounding up future discussions with him.

the role of form and momentum in football predictions

The Role Of Form And Momentum In Football Predictions

In an unpredictable football predictions industry, staying ahead of the curve demands an in-depth understanding of the key factors such as form and momentum that influence the outcome of a game. Being updated on team form, absences caused by injuries or suspensions, and managerial impact is essential for making Accurate Football Predictions. In this article, we discuss the Role of Form and Momentum In Football Predictions. Table of content: What is form and momentum in football Predictions? Form definition. Momentum definition. The Role of Form and Momentum In Football Predictions Why you should analyze team form Understanding why form is significant in league tables Impact of form on team performance Understand the role of momentum in football Factors that affect form and momentum in football predictions Coaching and tactics in maintaining form Impact of Individual performances on team form Recent transfer activity What Is Form And Momentum In Football Predictions? Form and momentum are two key factors that significantly impact your football predictions, as their statuses determine how your preferred team will perform in a match. Let us define them. Form Form is a team’s recent performance, often measured by the results of their most recent games. This element offers a preview of a team’s present momentum, showing if they are experiencing an upward trajectory or a slump.  Understanding the importance of form in a league table is essential for both bettors and experts, as it explains a club’s potential success or failure in a football season. Momentum Momentum in a football match measures the swing of the match and which clubs deliver more precarious situations for opponents at certain points in time. It does this by measuring the possibility of a club in possession scoring within the next ten seconds. The Role of Form and Momentum In Football Predictions What is the role of form and momentum in football predictions? We answer that question in this section. Why You Should Analyze Team Form Analyzing team form is a crucial aspect of making successful football predictions as it is a vital decision making tool for bettors. Team form reflects a club’s current level of competitiveness and confidence of the team. By analyzing form, you get priceless insights into their strengths, weaknesses, and general potential in upcoming fixtures. By studying a team’s current form, you can identify trends, winning streaks or losing slumps, which will allow you to make well-researched predictions about upcoming match results. Knowing this, teams that are on a winning streak are more likely to maintain that momentum, while those struggling find it harder to turn things around. As you research form, also consider home and away performance, as some teams are more advantaged when they play in familiar fields. Also add head-to-head records, injuries, tactical approaches, and player contributions to your team form analysis. Understanding Why Form Is Significant In League Tables The league table is the major indicator of a team’s performance throughout a football season. It shows their overall standings, points scored, goal differences, and other statistics. Although the league table is important, it is also essential that you go deeper into the factors that contribute to a team’s position in it. One of such factors is form. Understanding why form is significant in a league table is important for both bettors and analysts. Doing this can give you valuable insights into a club’s present momentum, psychological state, and success potential. However, in addition to analyzing form, you should also note other variables like squad depth and fixture difficulty which gives you a more extensive understanding of their potential league position. To fully understand the significance of team form in a league table, let us discuss its various aspects and influences.  1. Momentum A team’s form determines their current momentum and strongly indicates their future performance. To know how well or poorly Tottenham will perform in their next match, study their form in recent matches.  If they have been on a winning streak lately, they will likely continue like that, but if they have had a losing skid then they may struggle to get back to winning. If Hotspur won their last five games, their confidence and belief in their prowess will be high, leading to an increase in motivation and determination for their next fixture. 2. Player Psychology Form largely impacts player psychology, managers, and even supporters. A club in great form will adopt a positive mindset towards matches, which can enhance morale and cohesion within the squad. Similarly, if their form is poor, they may have self-doubt and increased pressure, leading to a decline in performance. You should not underestimate the psychological aspect of form, as it can influence team dynamics and even individual player confidence. 3. Confidence Form shapes a club’s confidence and self-belief. When Real Madrid wins consistently, their confidence will rise, and they develop a winning mindset. This confidence often spreads throughout the club and leads to improved performances. Likewise, if their form is poor, they may struggle with their self-belief, leading to hesitancy and indecisiveness on the field. 4. Injuries And Squad Depth Injuries and squad depth are two factors that can influence a team’s form. If a team has its key players absent because of injury, it may struggle to maintain its form, as they do not have enough worthy replacements. The same way, a team with a deep squad and adequate substitute can overcome setbacks like injuries or suspensions and maintain their form. Always consider injury and squad depth when determining a team’s form. 5. Fixture Difficulty The difficulty level of an upcoming fixture can significantly impact a team’s form. A team facing numerous tough opponents may experience a dip in form, as they cannot score any good results.  Conversely, a team with an easy fixture list may see an upturn in form, gathering valuable points. Analyzing a fixture list can provide a look into how a club’s form can evolve in coming matches. Impact Of Form On Team Performance Form, often referred to as momentum,

Center field Jake Myers smacked his 10th homer of the season. Houston’s pitching staff has been on point lately, limiting their opponents to three runs or less in six of their last seven contests.

After the match, Los Angele outfielder, Mike Trout, who has been absent most of the campaign with a torn meniscus, said he is gearing up for a return at the end of July. Mariners hurlers have been efficient lately, permitting three runs or less in five of their last six games, including two shutouts. MatchPlug Prediction For Houston Astros VS Seattle Mariners   To make Houston’s woes in this contest worse, Seattle has a spectacular pitching staff this year, ranking third in the league in ERA with 3.47. The Astros lost two of three matches to close out of the first half. They will play without outfielder Kyle Tucker, who is on the IL with an injured Shin. The stats and trends strongly back a Mariners win in Seattle to kickstart the second phase of their season. Prediction: Seattle Mariners Moneyline.
