Wenger Old Trafford Hero Giroud Frustrated With Bench Role

Giroud rescues Arsenal again and shows why he should have started Giroud snatched a 1-1 draw from Manchester United on Saturday, heading home in the 89th minute after Arsenal had turned in an otherwise shabby performance. The France striker has not started in the Premier League yet this season, having suffered a toe injury after being given an extended break at the start of the campaign. He has scored three goals in as many appearances from the bench in recent weeks, however, and Wenger says such form could put starting striker Alexis Sanchez under pressure....

Week 3 Fantasy Rankings Rb

Alvin Kamara (@ Seahawks) is moving down slightly, but that’s no fault of his own. A thumb injury to Drew Brees figures to hurt New Orleans’ offense as a whole, limiting Kamara’s chances for points. It’s possible the Saints feed him the ball more, but defenses will be able to play the run more aggressively and there will likely be fewer touchdown opportunities, so Kamara will really have to work for his points....

Week 4 Draftkings Picks Nfl Dfs Lineup Advice For Daily Fantasy Football Cash Games

This week, we took a balanced approach to the lineup. We spent up at the quarterback position and allocated between $5,100 and $7,000 at the two RB and three WR positions before spending down a bit at TE, FLEX, and D/ST. There were a lot of high-floor plays in good matchups that we wanted to get, and spending in that manner allowed us to do that while getting one of the best QB-WR stacks on the slate....

Week 7 Draftkings Picks Nfl Dfs Lineup Advice For Daily Fantasy Football Cash Games

Usually, it’s better to spread money around in cash lineups. You can spend up a bit at some positions, but taking the top overall player at RB or WR usually creates a lineup hole. However, we are doing just that this time around thanks, in part, to an excellent matchup for the top receiver on the slate and some good value at TE and QB. Spending down there helped us to afford a couple of top players while avoiding playing too many boom-or-bust options....

Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings Wide Receiver

Still, these rankings are noticeably thinner than usual from a sheer volume standpoint. Tough matchups for guys like Tyreek Hill (vs. Broncos), Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper (@ Bills), and T.Y. Hilton (@ Bengals) push them down a bit, and injuries to Stefon Diggs, DeVante Parker, and Golden Tate also potentially thin the herd. This seems like one of those weeks where fantasy owners will have to trust at least one guy who’s disappointed, whether it’s Tyrell Williams (@ Patriots), Kendall Wright (@ Saints), Jeremy Maclin (vs....

Week 9 Fantasy Football Rankings Qb Despite Chargers Injuries Rivers Remains High

Well, a favorable matchup (vs. Chicago) is the main reason, but Rivers always seems to find a way. With so many other “star” QBs struggling in recent weeks (Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning), Rivers is one of the few options you can trust. Famous last words? Maybe, but aside from Tom Brady, who’s been more consistent this year? Let’s take a look at the full Week 9 QB rankings to identify the starts, sits, sleepers and busts for your seasonal or daily fantasy football lineups....

Weightlifting China S Deng Wins Gold With World Record As Rival Withdrawn

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - China’s Deng Wei won the women’s 63kg gold medal on her Olympic debut and broke the world record held by Taiwan’s Lin Tzu-chi, who was withdrawn just hours before the event started. The International Weightlifting Federation declined to comment on the reasons for Lin’s withdrawal but a source close to the situation said the Taiwanese lifter failed a dope test. Lin, who set the world record total of 261kg in winning the 2014 Asian title, was withdrawn by Taiwan’s Olympic committee and then lost her world record when Deng Wei managed 262kg....

That’s not a criticism anyone can make about Sir Elton’s John’s “Songs from the West Coast” tour.

Welcome To History 2.0

What we call history began when humans started to record their experiences on cave walls, in cuneiform and on papyrus. The ability to record events was a transforming development for our entire species. But until very recently–until the Web–the vast collective documentary created by human beings has always been limited because the works we created were so difficult to access. Very little was stored, much was lost and much of what existed was hard to find....

Welfare S Labor Pains

Most of the marchers came from New York City, where able-bodied adults without young children now must work part-time–mainly cleaning up city parks–to collect a benefit check. These folks think ““workfare’’ stinks. ““We have to share the crummy boots and gloves. We don’t even get our own,’’ yelled one woman. An older woman hollered that ““workfare is trying to make us into slaves again.’’ This is the newest front in the war over welfare: new federal law mandates that 25 percent of all adult welfare recipients work for their benefits by next year (50 percent have to be on the job by 2002)....
