The way to GP2 isn’t always easy, as a seat costs around 2 million euros for one season. This makes it very important for young drivers to have strong sponsors when they enter the series. Sponsors often want to keep sponsoring their drivers when they get into Formula 1, so this is the reason why there are many so-called pay drivers these days. In small F1 teams, money is always welcome, so this gives an advantage to GP2 youngsters to make the final step to their dream, to Formula 1....
Paying football players? Okay, why not pay basketball players? Then why would athletes in minor sports not want their share of the pie? Limiting pay to college football is a pipe dream. But suppose it were possible; suppose a university could cap its expenses to the men who make up its roster for one sport only. Consider this: Not only would the so-called Power 5 conferences be included, but every Division I-A school....

Pastor Greg Locke, head of the Baptist Global Vision Bible Church in Juliet, Tennessee, predicted numerous times before and after Biden’s November election victory that Trump would remain president no matter what the actual votes, results or news media claimed. During Sunday’s church service, he again amped up these claims before his screeching congregation members and mocked anyone saying “you just need to accept the election results.” Hoping to validate his continued claims that he is not a “fake prophet” who got the election results wrong, the pastor simply declared Biden a “fake president....

So, in an era defined by passing, what’s a team to do with a less-than-elite passer? For Bill Belichick and the Patriots, that’s been a very real question this year with Brady serving a suspension. For many other teams, it’s been a way of life for decades as franchise passers have eluded them.

Naturally, that’s impossible to know, but if the Patriots and Tom Brady have been underinflating footballs for easier grip, presumably they would be doing it in wet weather, much like the weather in New England for the game vs. the Colts. I went through NFL game books for all Patriots home games since the 2005 season. What I found was intriguing.
