Heard Sporting KC is trying to sign Moo Salah to the biggest contract in MLS history. That would be something to say the least

Mo Salah makes decision on incredible €20m per year contract offer​

The Egyptian King reached an agreement to rip up his £400k per week contract one year earlier. Originally slated to leave the club in 2027 that exit date was brought forward to the end of June this year.

Following a spell at the FIFA World Cup with Egypt Salah is now preparing to make his next move. At 34 the left-footed attacker STILL believes he's got a lot to offer at the top level.

Besiktas to sign Mo Salah​

Although teams in Saudi Arabia and MLS have reportedly been interested in striking a deal for the Pharaoh it looks like the legendary forward is going to stay in European football.

Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbahce were early moves for a Salah deal but Istanbul rivals Besiktas have now swooped in.

It looks like Vincenzo Italiano's side will seal the signing of Salah sometime this week - once issues over bonuses and commissions are ironed out.

Salah to make £10m per year​

There has been some degree of surprise at the pay packet the two-time African footballer of the year will be given. It works out at around £10m per year - including bonuses - which is around HALF of what he was making at Anfield.

But Salah is content to take on the challenge financial shortfalls notwithstanding according to a report in A Spor. In fact the winger has TURNED DOWN bigger offers from the Saudi Pro League in order to seal a deal with Besiktas.

Remember (Roger Bannister?) breaking the 'impossible to break' 4 minute mile. Every channel (only 3 in those days) carried it. Most pundits said it was a record gonna last forever, as no human could go that fast. Just shows to go ya.

Oil aside, LA is best (only?) fishing waters for redfish (or so have been told). thats enough to buy a WR or so.

Met Beau’s dad at an event. Good guy and built like a house. His dad said Coach LJ pulled him aside after the spring game and said he has a big role planned for Beau this year. Rooting for him to take the next step.

This chode had everybody on his side, and he still found a way to be a chode.

A picture I took in York back in 2006. My wife had a convention in Birmingham and she thought it would be fun to rent a car and explore England. I had never driven on the left side of the road and GPS didn't really exist but I somehow managed. That's not to say that there wasn't a few harrowing moments of me getting lost in Birmingham, looking the wrong way before pulling out onto the street or going north when I should have went south. It was a great experience. It was one of those things that if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger.

Doubt if he'll get much more than a preferred walk-on at tOSU. And a list of 'don'ts' a mile long, where breaking will mean automatic exit. You gotta feel sorry for him, kinda reminds me of Maurice Clarett after his outstanding freshman year.

Demeaning. I focus on the fact that he went to TSUN and gave them the greatest beatdown in the rivalry of the two universities.

Just sayin': Ohio State didn't make the cut.

I'm never predicting another Jordan Hicks to OSU again.

That is incredible engineering. They've had a few engineering problems over the years too, but my goodness, that is impressive.

Yeah to Thump's cry of 'Bagmen'. Cignetti is ticking off his accomplishments, win B10, win a Nati, sign best in Indiana. Gotta give him credit. But back to Sales, cannot blame him at all, and good luck to him. We'll see how well he gets prepared for the NFL there, but should get many more minutes at Indy than tOSU. Depth chart probably worked against tOSU, given the stable of current 5*s, and verbaled 5*'s acoming. And Cignetti always seems to land a polished QB. Really don't know how good their teaching staff/coaches are, so do not have an informed opinion. But must be adequate to the tasks. Good luck, wait until our DBs line up against you, and remember they go daily against tOSU's 5* WRs in practice.

IU had a 1st round pick(same amount of 1st round WRs drafted as OSU) and 4th rounder after winning an NC. Thats A LOT to sell a hometown kid

Bend over,……..I’ll show you….

As I suspected

Bagmen

When Tarkanian (sp?) was at UNLV, was rumored that one staffer was a lawyer. Maybe TSUN needs to consider that as well. Not certain if this guy would be prosecutor or defense attorney though....

A long time ago, my wife's brother had a dog. I don't think we were married yet. But he had a dog. Then he moved back in with his parents, and the dog moved in, too. Then he moved out. And the dog didn't move out. Even though he lived in the area, he didn't go "home" that often. He's an interesting guy. Anyway, maybe twice a year he'd see them. And when the dog saw him, she was the happiest dog in the world. She probably lived 3/4 of her life without him, but she always remembered that 1/4 of her life.

US Recues Beluga Whales Stranded In Canada.....

Dozens of beluga whales facing euthanasia at abandoned Canadian amusement park to be relocated to US aquariums​

Login to view embedded media
Earlier this year, Marineland threatened to euthanize the whales unless the Canadian government could provide more funding for their care.

Dozens of beluga whales that were stranded for weeks at a closed Canadian amusement park will get a new life in the U.S. after American officials approved an international rescue plan to move the marine mammals to aquariums around the country.

The whales were left stranded at Marineland, an aquatic park in Niagara Falls, Ontario, for years after it closed to the public in 2024. Marineland continued to care for the whales at the park while trying to sell them.

Earlier this year, according to reporting by People, Marineland threatened to euthanize the whales unless the Canadian government could provide more funding for their care.
In response, supporters and animal rights activists have been calling on other aquariums to take in the whales. The Canadian Broadcasting

Corporation reported Thursday that a deal had been reached with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for an emergency rescue.

Under the plan, NOAA will help coordinate the transportation of the whales to aquariums in the U.S. that are accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

In a statement to CBC, Marineland officials said they welcome the relocation plans.

"We recognize we can no longer provide the long-term care these animals require, and we believe this rescue. . .is in the whales' best interest," Marineland officials said.

Under the plan, 28 of the 30 whales will be split among four U.S. facilities. Officials said 13 would go to SeaWorld San Antonio, three would go to SeaWorld San Diego, 10 would go to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and two would go to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.

The remaining whales would be relocated to Oceanogràfic València in Spain pending final permits.

Although the relocation has been finalized, it isn't something that can happen overnight. Beluga whales, although smaller than many of their family members, can reach up to 16 feet long and weigh up to 3,500 pounds. Moving even one, along with the water required to keep it safe and comfortable, is a massive task. Multiplying that by 28 is a significant undertaking for American conservationists.

“This rescue effort will take several weeks to mobilize and complete, and the comfort and safety of the whales remains of the utmost importance,” a representative of the participating aquariums said in a statement to People.
