During his appearance on MSNBC Sunday, Sanders poked at Bezos and said he, of all people, “can afford to pay them more.” The senator then asked why the billionaire would even choose to oppose workers who are organizing to guarantee permanent, and not temporary, improvements in safety and job security.
The signature policy proposal of former Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who suspended his campaign on Wednesday, while appealing to many, does not appear to have resonated strongly enough with voters as the solution to address the perceived problems with the current health care status quo.

Sanders was asked to weigh in on the current intra-party strife that’s occurring within the House Democrats between new, generally more progressive members of Congress and the party’s leadership that has appeared to resist shifting too far to the political left. The senator suggested people who have long been affiliated with the party needed to be more supportive of its younger members. “It goes without saying the future of our country and the future of the Democratic Party rests with young people,” Sanders said....

Orlando Magic Best-case scenario: OK, let’s address all of the Victor Oladipo comparisons–realistic and bats*** insane–up front. Oladipo is a good player who has made great strides since entering his collegiate career at Indiana as an athlete and defender with no outside shot. Because of that development, his upside is something worth considering. Now, is Dwyane Wade or Michael Jordan? We can cross out the second comparison. If history has taught us anything, it’s showed us that only Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan–not [insert name here]....

Every team, of course, has different aspirations heading into this year. While some are looking for rings, others are looking to stay out of the top of the NFL Draft. Still others are vying for the first overall pick. The reality is, rebuilding occurs in the NFL, and no team wants to be stuck in football purgatory. The NFL season never plays out as we expect, but it is reasonable to speculate on who will be good and who won’t....
Zidane achieved what no other coach could in the Champions League era – consecutive trophies after titleholders Madrid beat 10-man Juventus 4-1 in Cardiff on Saturday. It has been an incredible and seamless transition from player to coach for Zidane, who also guided Madrid to their first LaLiga crown since 2012 this season after replacing Rafael Benitez at the helm in January last year. Barca congratulate Madrid’s success The 44-year-old Frenchman, however, remained humble post-match as he committed himself to Madrid in 2017-18....
If you belong in the latter category, check out the cheat sheet below. Some are better than others, but at the very least, maybe a couple will help you jumpstart your creative juices.

There are a multitude of options when taking this route, but here are a few ideas to get you started:...

MORE: Ultimate fantasy cheat sheet You can go a lot of different directions with your team name. Make it an inside and/or insulting joke for the other people in your league; try out a pun based on a pop culture reference or one of your players; or just come up with a name that sounds cool and intimidating (if such a thing exists for fantasy football)....

From WRs (Russell Gage, Demaryius Thomas) to QBs (Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield) to TEs (Ryan Griffin, Benjamin Watson) and D/STs (Lions, Falcons), we have a little something for everyone.

Stacking is one of the easiest ways for daily fantasy football players to make unique lineups. At this point in the season, it’s harder to unearth sleepers, so going against the grain and loading up on players within one game — or all from one team — is a way that DFS players can win big. There are a few different ways to stack lineups. Traditional stacking relies on pairing QBs with WRs/TEs and RBs with D/STs, as those positions have correlated success....
So it seems like a good time to take a look at the best offseason deals for every major-league team. These are the best-case scenarios. Happy times. It’s important to note that for this list, we’re only looking at the deals that actively improved a team by bringing in at least one great player. This isn’t about addition by subtraction, such as dumping bad contracts (hi, Vernon Wells) or getting rid of malcontents (when the Braves traded away John Rocker)....

Still only 24 years of age, the Brazil international — with an enviable collection of major honors to his name — made his 100th La Liga appearance during a dramatic 3-2 victory over Valencia. The numbers Neymar has posted in reaching a century of appearances are impressive to say the least, and stand up well when compared to the other galaxy of stars in Spain’s top flight. Camp Nou teammate Lionel Messi may have matured into a four-time Ballon d’Or winner and the greatest scorer Barca and La Liga have ever seen, but even the mercurial Argentine stands in the shadow of his fellow South American when it comes to his first 100 fixtures....
