A longtime NFL executive who earned his gold jacket through championship-winning personnel acumen not only believes such treasure exists, but Bill Polian is willing to put his name — and shovel — behind the idea. That’s how bullish Polian is about the potential the Alliance of American Football, an upstart spring venture set to kick off in February 2019, will afford. “We firmly believe the next Kurt Warner and Adam Vinatieri is out there,” Polian told me Tuesday night on SiriusXM NFL Radio....

They have to be to launch themselves several feet into the sky using only a flexible pole, one that looks as though it could snap at any second. It’s certainly not for everybody. Thankfully, if pole vaulting is on your bucket list and you’re just not sure how to go about crossing it off, you can now cheat by stepping into Stokke’s shoes with the help of GoPro.

The Spaniard, a two-time Formula One champion and 24 Hours of Le Mans winner, placed 11th in the first stage but fell two and a half hours off the pace following a crash on day two. Alonso, who is set to have a third attempt at completing motorsport’s ‘Triple Crown’ at the Indy 500, was proud of his performances, in particular crossing the line just four minutes slower than fellow Toyota Gazoo Racing driver and three-time Dakar champion Nasser Al-Attiyah on Friday....

Last week, not a soul in politics would have predicted that Obama would win North Carolina by 14 points and virtually tie in Indiana. But through a combination of luck and smarts, the campaign ended on the theme that Obama ran on: Old politics vs. new politics. By conventional standards, Clinton was in the groove, focusing on bread-and-butter issues and pummeling Obama for being out-of-touch with angry motorists. Many pundits reported that “the working girl” was “on fire” and on the move....

Altidore tried to run onto a long ball over the top from Michael Bradley in the 21st minute, racing Ghana's John Boye down the left side of the U.S. attack. He pulled up, clutched at his hamstring and immediately began gesticulating to the training staff before being taken from the field on a stretcher. He was replaced by Aron Johannsson, but despite the young forward's ability, manager Jurgen Klinsmann will hope the Sunderland man can recover for the remaining group matches....

While Morata is largely hailed as one of the best young strikers in the world at the moment, is the hype about the Spaniard justified? A cursory look into Morata’s stats might paint a surprising picture. In 145 total appearances for both Real Madrid and Juventus, the Spaniard has only managed a measly return of 38 goals. Also, the young forward has failed to net more than 10 League goals in a single season so far and there are some serious doubts about his decision making and goalscoring abilities....

Also Read: 5 reasons why Alvaro Morata will succeed at Chelsea In case you didn’t know… Morata came through the ranks in Madrid’s Castilla team, where his excellent goal scoring rate caught the eye of Jose Mourinho, who integrated him into the first-team squad, although the Portuguese manager did describe him as ’not ready’. Morata became a proper first-team member when Carlo Ancelotti took over, although he did leave the for Juventus the following season for €20 million....

The procedure, which was performed over the summer, went unreported and was not made public. Including this surgery, Stoudemire has now gone under the knife three times in the past 12 months. One positive for Stoudemire, who spent most of the summer under restriction, is that the surgery was not considered major, according to the Daily News. Truth be told, any procedure is major for Stoudemire at this point, considering he only played 29 games last season and had surgery on his right knee in October and left knee in March....

The Foxes winning in such dominant fashion will no doubt have filled him with glee, but there is no less desirable state for a professional footballer than not being able to play. That 5-2 evisceration of the Citizens at the Etihad Stadium was the first of (at least) 12 Premier League matches the Nigeria international will be forced to miss on account of a groin injury. Beyond further burnishing Jamie Vardy’s healthy recent record against City and aggravating Pep Guardiola’s already frayed nerves, Sunday’s result was instructive in that it answered a long-standing question and, in doing so, demonstrated Leicester’s immense growth....

The centre-back has been at Atleti since he was seven and has gradually played an increased role for the capital side since debuting for the first team in 2015. Simeone believes the France Under-21 international is capable of becoming one of the game’s best. “He’s an amazing player with a huge future,” Simeone told L’Equipe. “He makes my decisions very difficult because I have Filipe Luis at left-back and Diego Godin in the middle – two extraordinary players....

Some of those features have been available on previous e-book devices, notably the Sony Reader. The Kindle’s real breakthrough springs from a feature that its predecessors never offered: wireless connectivity, via a system called Whispernet. (It’s based on the EVDO broadband service offered by cell-phone carriers, allowing it to work anywhere, not just Wi-Fi hotspots.) As a result, says Bezos, “This isn’t a device, it’s a service.” Will the Kindle and its kin really take on a technology that’s shone for centuries and is considered the bedrock of our civilization?...

In the company statement shared with CNN Business, a Facebook spokesperson announced, “Due to concerns related to coronavirus, our company and employees will not be participating in SXSW this year.” In an video interview conducted on March 3, 2020 with Austin’s KXAN.com, Mayor Steve Adler mentioned the online petition from Change.org to cancel this year’s SXSW festival. Though the petition has more than 42,000 signatures, any decision to cancel SXSW will be based on the information given to him by the City and Travis County health officials....

Features & Design Unlike in previous years, the Dot is identical in design to its larger counterpart, the Echo 4. It’s simply smaller – a 100mm diameter instead of 144mm....
