But despite chairman Daniel Levy confirming back in 2019 that the club would be interested in securing a “naming-rights deal” with the “right brand, on the right money”, no such agreement has been struck. That could be about to change. Because The Athletic has learned that Tottenham are in meaningful talks with Google over… Source link

Leaders in Washington have been on their heels since OPEC+ announced deep production cuts. However, what could be in the offing when it comes to additional policy responses have become clearer in recent days. “There’s a lot of alternatives,” President Biden told reporters on Thursday adding on Friday “I’m not finished with that yet.” On Wednesday, oil-producing nations — including Russia — announced they would cut production by 2 million barrels per day, saying it was a way to get… Source link

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
