Chances are, Johnny Damon will not make the Hall Of Fame—in fact, he might drop off the ballot after just one year of eligibility due to lack of sufficient support. But, as MLB.com's Joe Posnanski points out, Damon occupies some pretty rarefied air on many levels. The most impressive fact to us is that only two players is MLB history have 2,500 hits, 500 doubles, 100 triples, 200 homers, and 400 stolen bases. One of them is Damon. The other is some guy named Paul Molitor. Читать дальше...

The agency says it has gotten an increase in reports of attempts to obtain employees' W-2 forms in hopes of stealing people's personal information and identities. The scams often go after employees in companies' human resources and payroll departments, but any staffer or manager could be a target. In the scam, a potential thief poses as a company executive...

Hoda Kotb has officially replaced Matt Lauer as co-anchor of the “Today” show, and Twitter users are celebrating her pairing with Savannah Guthrie this morning. “G.I.R.L.s are taking over!” the Girl Scouts tweeted of the new all-female setup at the NBC News program. “#girlpower at the #TodayShow news anchor desk!” another user of the popular social media platform wrote.

Counterinsurgency Math Revisited

02.01.2018 19:05

Cato Institute

When does 32,200 – 60,000 = 109,000? That seemingly inaccurate equation represents the estimated number of Islamist-inspired terrorists when the war on terror began, how many the U.S. has killed since 2015, and the number that fight today. And it begs the question of just how can the terror ranks grow so fast when they’re being depleted so rapidly.

Sheyi Ojo – Fulham Sheyi Ojo has been enjoying a decent festive period, which he kicked off with a Man of the Match performance against Barnsley on the 23rd. Despite being booked in the first half, he turned his match around with a series of key passes, mazy runs and testing shots. He got a stoke of luck, however, mid-way through the second half when a mis-hit cross drifted over Barnsley’s ‘keeper’s head and into the back of the net. The fortuitous goal turned out to be the winner as the 2-1 score line remained until the final whistle. Читать дальше...

What Is Your Trade Prediction For Kane?

SabreSpace: Message Board

Let's predict and see who comes the closest. Anything you want from vague (he gets traded) to very specific (we pick up player x and team y's first pick)

I hear it's a sellers market but I just am not that confident we get anything great in return. So my prediction is we trade him to a contender who gives us Hudson Fasching type of young prospect and their late first round pick. And years from now we look back on the trade and shrug our shoulders and say, "So glad we have Casey Middelstadt" lol. Читать дальше...

Wendel exit from Fluminense shows Brazil's economy far from booming

02.01.2018 19:03

ESPN FC

The vulnerable economic situation of Rio's Fluminense likely cost the club the rights to Wendel, an emerging talent from Brazil. This time last year, Brazilian midfielder Wendel was not even a household name in his own home. The 20-year-old only made his debut for Fluminense of Rio in mid-February. And fewer than 60 games later he is already on his way. Paris Saint-Germain had been very interested, but questions of Financial Fair Play stalled the deal, and Wendel now flies off to Portugal to join Sporting Lisbon. Читать дальше...
