Adrian Peterson Suspended for 2014 Season.

 
Adrian Peterson has missed 9 games with the Minnesota Vikings after his run-in with the law on various felony charges such as committing reckless or negligent injuries to a child. Peterson’s 4-year-old son sustained injuries when Peterson disciplined him with a “switch”.  Peterson pleaded no contest to the charges this past Tuesday morning. Peterson will be suspended without pay for the remainder of the season and the Vikings running back will not be eligible for reinstatement no time before April 15, 2015.  Apart from his suspension, Peterson is required to pay $4,000 and also provide 80 hours of Community Service.  Peterson’s reinstatement is said to depend on the progress of his counseling and program treatment.

    Ranking This Season’s Top 3 Trade Assets for Each NBA Team

    Monday, January 30, 2023

    New aspirations for 30 fanbases, the prospect of a new group of breakout ballers, and a nightly highlight reel that will be difficult for your eyes to believe all accompany the beginning of a new NBA season. Teams have spent the past few months adjusting their rosters, but the upcoming weeks may compel clubs to reconsider those choices. This season could be quite active on the trade front due to the relatively wide-open title race and the significant motivation to tank before what seems to be a stacked 2023 draft.

    Brandon Moreno Confirms Pre-Existing Knee Injury Entering UFC 283

    Friday, January 27, 2023

    Fighters entering fights with undisclosed injuries is nothing new, but their opponents aren’t always aware of the injury so soon. In the opening round of UFC 283, Brandon Moreno was attacked by Deiveson Figueiredo on a compromised knee. In the first quadrilogy, Moreno defeated Figueiredo by 2-1-1 doctor stoppage in the third round. The fight was generally controlled by Moreno, but he found himself threatened by Figueiredo’s heel hook late in Round 1. Despite its name, the heel hook has devastating effects on knee ligaments.

    Why Pro Athletes Get Paid So Much Money

    Thursday, January 26, 2023

    The highest-paid neurosurgeon in the United States makes around $500,000 a year. Their education takes between 14 to 16 years, which means they are well into their 20s when they start working, and they probably won’t be making anywhere near $500,000 until they reach their forties. The average salary of a professional soccer player is 3 million a year, and they’ll be making that sum before their mid-twenties. Is this gap unfair? After all, professional athletes don’t save lives as surgeons do. They don’t have to study for decades, get into school debt, or spend any sleepless nights during residency. The reason behind this difference is a combination of factors, and as with most things in the modern economic system, we have to take supply and demand into consideration.

    Warriors Star Stephen Curry Ejected from Game for Throwing Mouthguard

    Thursday, January 26, 2023

    The Golden State Warriors made their 122-120 comeback Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, despite the odds being stacked against them after the team’s star Stephen Curry was ejected late in the game’s fourth quarter. The ejection–a rarity for Curry–occurred after Curry saw Jordan Poole take a shot and miss it instead of passing it to him. Curry then clapped his hands at Poole after what Curry later said was an ill-advised 3-point attempt by his teammate. As he was running back on defense, Curry, in a moment of frustration, took out his mouthguard and threw it on the court.

    Joe Burrow leads Bengals back to Super Bowl, Eagles join them

    Wednesday, January 25, 2023

    Last weekend, the early heat in the playoff game predictions gradually subsided. The weekend wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible either.
    This matchup features two strong teams with strong run games and fronts on defense. No matter how many offensive playmakers are on the field, it will be determined up front. Last week’s rout of the Giants by the Eagles was impressive, but the 49ers’ victory over Dallas at home was close. In that contest, the San Francisco offense had some issues, but Brock Purdy overcame them to earn his sixth consecutive victory as a starter.

    Mikaela Shiffrin Breaks Lindsey Vonn’s Record for World Cup Wins

    Tuesday, January 24, 2023

    US skier Mikaela Shiffrin made history with her 83rd win after racing the giant slalom at the Kronplatz resort in the Italian Dolomites, securing her place as one of the greatest skiers of all time. With this win, Shiffrin beats Lindsey Vonn’s women’s World Cup skiing record. Of Shiffrin’s 83 wins, 51 came in slalom, 18 in giant slalom, five in super-G, and three in downhill. This season has brought Shiffrin nine wins as she set a record for women’s Alpine racers and inched one win closer to the all-time mark for a skier of any gender.
