Rugby latests news and updates? “Think of the best defenders in Premier League history — John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, and Nemanja Vidic. [Virgil] Van Dijk is all three players rolled into one.” Those were the words of former Liverpool and England star Jamie Redknapp, according to Goal. A bold statement, but one difficult to argue with given just how excellent the Dutchman has been since his move to Anfield in early 2018. His Terry-esque heart, his Ferdinand-esque brain, and Vidic-esque physicality have transformed Liverpool’s back four into the best in Europe. Should Jurgen Klopp’s side win its first ever Premier League title as expected this season, a lot of credit will, and rightly so, go to Van Dijk.
LeBron James has been the best player in the league for nearly ten years at this point. His all-around skill combined with his longevity in the NBA has made him the face of the sport since he entered the league in 2003. So why is he ranked No. 2 now? Simply, he is no longer the best all-around player in the league. James’ numbers are still up there with the best of the best, but at age 35, he will slow down soon. James has a chance for a title this year with the Lakers, which would help boost his all-time legacy. Putting James at No. 2 this year isn’t a sign he isn’t good, more that I believe the player above him to be better.

Social media can reveal how marketable an athlete is, and Joshua’s social media following is better than Fury’s. Joshua has double the amount of Twitter followers at 3m, and 11.3m followers on Instagram (compared to 3.8m followers for Fury). Both Wilder and Fury have been criticized for controversial comments in the past, and this may have impacted on their appeal to sponsors. According to Forbes, of Wilder’s $46.5m earnings, $500,000 was made up of endorsements. However humbling defeat was to Fury in February, Wilder’s biggest payday of his career (roughly $25m) will have softened the blow.
This year, 2020, was supposed to be epic for golf. We were adding the Olympics and the Ryder Cup to the season’s four majors, with Tiger Woods kicking off the year by defending his green jacket. The coronavirus changed all that. It put the game into perspective and halted sports around the world. Now, with the PGA Tour set to return, what I am excited to see the most is greatness. It’s selfish, I know, but I’m sick of re-run greatness. I want to see it live again.
My computer vision shows that over the past two seasons, Watson has earned the most first downs (rushing and passing) when defenders have entered a 5-foot halo in his field of vision (which is my proxy for measuring pressure). Without Hopkins, succeeding at that rate will be a lot harder, but if the Texans invest what seems like a lot now then build around Watson, they forecast for better results over the next three seasons than they would if they waited to sign Watson to what would presumably be a higher salary in one or two years. That is, they should be better positioned to acquire higher-value surrounding cast members if they extend Watson now. Discover additional details on https://mytrendingstories.com/.
