Kyler Murray’s ‘study hall’ clause is a bizarre move by the Cardinals, one that both parties now must live with

Kyler Murray’s ‘study hall’ clause is a bizarre move by the Cardinals, one that both parties now must live with

By all accounts, the Arizona Cardinals have done something unprecedented in the NFL’s history of elite quarterback contracts. And it’s not the $230.5 million total commitment in Kyler Murray’s record-setting deal. Nor is it the $160 million in guaranteed money or the $46.1 million average salary. All of those numbers had the league buzzing last week. But it’s another, much smaller number that had jaws hitting the floor on Monday. Four. More specifically, four hours. A time increment… Source link

A 5-year outlook at Google’s ad tech

A 5-year outlook at Google’s ad tech

The most serious threat to Google’s ad tech dynasty is regulation. Google has been at the center of countless antitrust lawsuits worldwide, with governing bodies slowly forcing more balance in the advertising marketplace. The recently introduced Competition and Transparency in Digital Advertising Act, for example, would compel Google to sell off its ad tech products. Without its ad tech business, Google would still be a formidable force in digital advertising. After all, most of its ad… Source link

Charles Barkley names his price to join LIV Golf and the outrage that comes with it

While golfers have tiptoed around their negotiations with LIV Golf and frequently bristle at questions about the league, Charles Barkley is taking no such tack. The Basketball Hall of Famer and TNT broadcaster is approaching his flirtation with the controversial Saudi Arabia-backed golf league as he does most subjects — with candor. Barkley, who’s acknowledged that he’s in negotiations with LIV Golf and is playing in the league’s New Jersey Pro-Am this week at a Trump golf course, spoke with… Source link

Google is trying to fix the mistakes of Google Glass

Google is trying to fix the mistakes of Google Glass

Every major tech company is working on computer glasses. None of them really want to go first. They all remember how Google Glass, and the “Glassholes” who wore them in public, became the laughingstock of the world. So they’ve been waiting, biding their time, refining their prototypes, and every so often making sure investors know that, no, they’re not going to let the first potentially iPhone-sized opportunity since the iPhone slip by. But now, Google itself is taking the next… Source link

The problem with trading Jaylen Brown for Kevin Durant

The problem with trading Jaylen Brown for Kevin Durant

“But this is Kevin Durant.” That line from Shams Charania’s report for The Athletic, which suggested the Boston Celtics offered Jaylen Brown as the centerpiece of a trade for the Brooklyn Nets superstar, is a common refrain in analysis of the one-time league MVP’s value. In a vacuum, Durant is better than Brown and may have meant the difference between a six-game NBA Finals loss to the Golden State Warriors and the Celtics’ 18th championship. Of course Boston should gauge Brooklyn’s interest… Source link

Back from mental health break, Danny Garcia back to his ‘old self’ and hungry for another world title

Back from mental health break, Danny Garcia back to his ‘old self’ and hungry for another world title

More than a third of Danny Garcia’s 39 professional bouts have been against men who at some point in their career held a world championship (in one case, an interim world title). He’s gone 12-3 in those fights with four knockouts, evidence that this is a guy who wasn’t appreciated enough during his prime. Garcia never got the truly huge fight against either Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao, but his résumé is a road map of the best 140- and 147-pounders of the last decade. He was one… Source link
