The Biggest Question Every NFL Team Must Answer in Training Camps

Image
0 of 32 Mark Brown/Getty Images Training camp brings NFL teams back to reality.  The offseason tends to create excitement. Organizations spend in free agency to acquire top performers, while no franchise is ever disappointed with its draft class.  The influx of talent provides an optimistic point of view in almost every situation.  Yet, roster deficiencies become obvious during training camp once the entire squad is together on the field with pads on for the first time. The roster’s construction and how the group will perform as units start to emerge.  There are always training camp battles, relationship dynamics, scheme changes and potential comebacks to closely monitor.

DeMarcus Cousins and the Biggest Enigmas of 2019 NBA Free Agency

We’ll leave the higher-end superstars alone in this exercise. Situations can only be so enigmatic when the decision is between max annual salaries for one, four or five years. Instead, we’ll zero in on the players a tier or two below. That’s where the intrigue is deepest. 1 of 5 Nathaniel S. Butler/Gett...

Hong Kong leader apologises after massive protests

Hong Kong ‘s embattled leader has apologised to the public with “utmost sincerity and humility” after hundreds of thousands of protesters demanded she step down over her handling of a bill that would have allowed extraditions to China . Chief Executive Carrie Lam “admitted that shortcomings in the government’s work has led to a lot of conflict and disputes in Hong Kong society and has disappointed and distressed many citizens,” a statement from her office said on Sunday.       “The chief executive apologises to the citizens and promises to accept criticism with the most sincere and humble attitude,” it added. The apology came after a second massive protest in a week over the proposed law.  The protesters formed a sea of black along roads, walkways and train stations across Hong Kong’s financial centre, some  carrying white carnation flowers and others holding banners saying, “Do not shoot, we are Hongkongers” – an appeal to police who fired rubbe...
