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.

Beautiful!

Ahhhhh shit: RUN BMC! I like it

BRAVO!!!

I'm fine with either way -- I actually wouldn’t hate to lose some of these random schools from the pool of players. But I don’t care that much.

Chiefs unveil renderings of planned $3B domed stadium in Kansas​

The Chiefs unveiled Wednesday the first renderings for their new stadium in Kansas that is scheduled to open for the NFL's 2031 season.

One of the biggest aspects of the design from MANICA, an architecture firm in Kansas City, Kansas, is that the $3 billion, fully enclosed dome will feature a ceiling of translucent ethylene tetrafluoroethylene panels. The new stadium's design also pays homage to Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs' longtime home venue in Missouri, which opened in 1972. Similar to Arrowhead, the dome will be built with a symmetrical and curved exterior, including a scalloped upper deck in each end zone, continuing the Chiefs' unique look when compared with other NFL stadiums.

In a statement released by the Chiefs, club owner Clark Hunt said the stadium will hold 70,000 seats and will be built with the intention of amplifying crowd noise, a request that he heard from several season-ticket members in multiple surveys. In 2014, Arrowhead regained the Guinness world record for loudest stadium -- after fans for the Seattle Seahawks broke the record -- with the fans' collective voices generating 142.2 decibels.



"From the beginning, our goal has been to build something that [improves] the gameday experience for every single fan," Hunt said in the statement. "This new stadium will do just that. It's spectacular. It honors the rich legacy of this franchise while setting a bold course for the future of Chiefs Kingdom."

In late December, Kansas lawmakers voted unanimously to allow for sales tax and revenue (STAR) bonds to be issued to cover up to 70% of the cost of the stadium and the accompanying mixed-use district, including the Chiefs' new training facility. Hunt said he and his family will commit $1 billion in additional development, a portion that will be incentivized by the STAR bonds.

In the team's statement, Hunt said the new stadium will still be an ideal place for Chiefs fans to tailgate, which has been a distinct aesthetic surrounding Arrowhead. The atmosphere hours before kickoff -- with tantalizing smells of barbecue -- is similar to that of a major college football campus. The new stadium will be surrounded by more than 20,000 parking spots.

"I've been thrilled with what I've seen," Hunt said in late March of the dome's potential. "It's very, very exciting. Our fanbase is going to get an incredible stadium, something that'll be iconic and serve the community well for a minimum of 30 years -- and hopefully closer to 60."

This was a silent portal entry as there was nothing about it until he committed

I guess I'm not surprised considering he came from the SEC to being with.


The offensive is probably going to be the main issue in 2027, having to replace Kaczmar, Eckelman, Simpson, Ellis and Frucht is a lot. Thankfully Harvey and Bemis are back so the returning cupboard isn't completely empty. Scholvin got drafted in the 15th round by the Twins, fingers crossed he doesn't sign as he would be a big piece.

That being said, basically every major pitcher from last year is back so the pitching should continue on the positive track.

I'm guessing they will still add a couple of more transfers, no new announcements though yet.

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.

How bad is it that I never even realized there were ads?

Nah, Argentina was trying to generate offense until the red card. Spain’s defense was just too good.

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.
