Tennis latests news in 2021 with RNClub.com? The deal priority rating here reflects that the Chiefs used the franchise tag on Jones (set to pay him $16.1 million), which draws some parameters on the deal terms for securing his services but also leaves the opportunity for Jones to earn more money next season on an average annual basis than he would this season (Jones’ trajectory is increasing). A second-round pick in 2016, Jones has ascended to be my model’s third-best projected interior defender, a ranking he achieved over the past two seasons, as well. Jones’ efficiency on passing downs (as with his 24.5 sacks over the past two seasons) is easy to see on film. Jones’ help against the run last season in coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s defense drove even more value for the Chiefs, as he ranked sixth in my computer vision defensive run-stopping metric among interior defenders. This means when a back ran into the space near Jones, he helped stop their ability to earn first downs and touchdowns at the sixth-highest rate at his position.

If you were to look at Kylian Mbappe’s trophy cabinet, you wouldn’t believe he is still only 21 years old. A World Cup, three Ligue 1 titles, and the Coupe de France are just a few of his collective honours. Individually, he’s won the Golden Boy award, the Ligue 1 Player of the Season trophy, and Ligue 1’s top scorer prize. He also has 122 career goals to date already, which is far more than both Lionel Messi (50) and Cristiano Ronaldo (36) had managed by the time they reached the same age. Should he continue in the same fashion, the Frenchman has the talent to surpass both as the modern game’s greatest ever goalscorer, and perhaps even, player.

The reigning MVP who is about to take home his second straight award gets my nod as the best player in the NBA today. The Greek Freak is a machine. He is nearly unguardable due to his size and speed that allow him to get to the rim nearly every time. He’s averaging cartoonishly impressive per game statistics along with great defensive numbers — all in just under 31 minutes per game. His Milwaukee Bucks are blowing everyone out every night and have the best record in the NBA. He may also take home the Defensive Player of the Year award along with his MVP. Giannis Antetokounmpo does everything you want a superstar to do, and did I mention he’s been working on his shooting ability too? And he’s still only 25? Look out. This is Antetokounmpo’s league — we’re all just living in it. Find extra info at What Is Tiger Woods Net Worth.

Fury may also have to come through a mandatory defence against Britain’s Dillian Whyte (27-1, 18 KOs), 32, early next year, while Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk (17-0, 13 KOs), 33, is due a shot at Joshua as WBO mandatory challenger. It is unlikely the belts will get in the way with so much potential money to be made and titles may have to be given up, or deals made, to facilitate making Fury-Joshua in what would likely be boxing’s richest fight since the $400m megafight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio five years ago. Both need to win their next fights, details of which have yet to be confirmed due to delays caused by coronavirus. WBC champion Fury is due to face American Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs), 34, from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in their third meeting while WBA-IBF-WBO champion Joshua is lined up to face 39-year-old mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev (28-1, 14 KOs), of Bulgaria.

This year, 2020, was supposed to be epic for golf. We were adding the Olympics and the Ryder Cup to the season’s four majors, with Tiger Woods kicking off the year by defending his green jacket. The coronavirus changed all that. It put the game into perspective and halted sports around the world. Now, with the PGA Tour set to return, what I am excited to see the most is greatness. It’s selfish, I know, but I’m sick of re-run greatness. I want to see it live again. See additional info at News for Sports.
