Pressure on Spurs to Stop Losing on Purpose: Victor Wembanyama's Rookie Season Wasted

The mainstream sports media is saying Victor Wembanyama is putting pressure on the Spurs to force trades so they can contend right now. I think if Victor Wembanyama is applying pressure, the message is to stop with the arbitrary minutes restrictions and rest games, start playing the best players together, stop trying to lose on purpose. Victor Wembanyama's rookie year has been wasted. Gregg Popovich never gave this team a chance to make the playoffs because the plan was to tank again. Here is the ESPN segment where Brian Windhorst talks about Victor Wembanyama not being thrilled: Previewing Chet vs. Wemby Part III 🍿 ...   [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3g-EVxhL5U&t=31s]

Randomness in Success: Random Ranking Factor Swings SEO Fortune for Businesses

Random ranking factor is an SEO concept whereby some websites rank better than others for no other reason than randomness. Of course, if a website organically ranks well with less effort, it's a tremendous windfall for the website owner. However, if a website ranks average or worse, it's a significant obstacle. The term random ranking factor is coined by Terry Kyle of WPX.net hosting, hosting that I personally use and love.

This is a prime example of how something as simple as how Google receives our website - outside of what optimization we do to our website - can make all the difference.

Sports Media Coverage: Silence After Kevin Garnett Said Lebron James is on Steroids

It's been 2 weeks since Kevin Garnett said that Lebron James is on steroids / PEDs. And yet the biggest sports media outlets remain mouse quiet on the topic - despite having the perfect opportunity to do so once Lebron hit 40,000 points.
