Creighton coach Greg McDermott agrees to long-term contract extension | Creighton

Bella

Coach Greg McDermott agreed to a contract extension that’s likely to keep him at Creighton for many years, a source confirmed to The World-Herald on Wednesday. Multiple outlets reported the development Wednesday, as well.

The official announcement of the extension is expected as early as Thursday. The deal is likely to be at least four years, The World-Herald learned.

The extension will be the first major move for Athletic Director Marcus Blossom, who took over for Bruce Rasmussen this summer.

In late February, as the Bluejays steamed toward another NCAA tournament berth, the 57-year-old McDermott told The World-Herald he wanted Creighton to be “my last job” before retirement. “I hope we can figure out how to make that happen,” he said.

Blossom said he wanted McDermott to remain at CU, as well.

“If Mac wants to be here, we want him to be here,” Blossom said.

CU advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament, pushing top-seeded Kansas to the final minute despite missing starters Ryan Nembhard and Ryan Kalkbrenner, both of whom sustained season-ending injuries. Both are expected to return in 2022-23, along with sophomores-to-be Arthur Kaluma and Trey Alexander.

Max Verstappen: Formula 1 world champion agrees new long-term deal with Red Bull

Bella

Max Verstappen’s new deal, which is expected to be announced by the end of the week, will take him close to his 30th birthday and net him around £40m a year, putting him on par with Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton; world champion begins title defence in Bahrain on March 20

Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen has agreed a new multi-year contract with Red Bull

Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen has agreed a new multi-year contract with Red Bull with a signing announcement expected before the end of the week, Sky Sports News understands.

The new agreement will take the 24-year-old close to his 30th birthday and earn him just over £40m a year, putting him on par with Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton.

Verstappen claimed his first world championship title in 2021 after edging out seven-time champion Hamilton in a controversial finish at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December.

The Dutchman, whose current deal with Red Bull expires in 2023, will begin his title defence on March 20 when the 2022 season gets under way in Bahrain.

Verstappen’s new contract will prevent Mercedes from targeting him as a replacement for Lewis Hamilton should the Briton retire at the end of his current deal in 2023.

NFL free agency 2022: Davante Adams franchise tag dynamics, plus chances of a Packers trade or long-term deal

Bella

Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst referred to using a franchise tag on Davante Adams as a last resort last week when meeting with the local Green Bay media. The All-Pro wide receiver is exactly the type of player that typically gets franchised, although the last time the Packers used the designation was in 2010 on defensive tackle Ryan Pickett.

Adams is the NFL’s most productive wide receiver since signing his expiring four-year contract extension at the end of the 2017 season. He leads the NFL in receptions (432), receiving yards (5,310) and touchdown catches (47) during this span. Adams set the Packers single season record for receiving yardage with 1,553 yards in 2021. He also had 123 catches to break his own team record along with 11 receiving touchdowns.

The Packers have less than a week to avoid the last resort scenario. The deadline for NFL teams to designate a franchise player is 4 p.m. ET on March 8. Gutekunst indicated there’s been “constant communication” with Adams and his representatives during his media session on Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

The Packers already have a challenging salary cap situation without a $20.12 million franchise tag for Adams. After entering the offseason approximately $50 million over the projected $208.2 million 2022 salary cap, the Packers have started decreasing the overage by restructuring multiple contracts (tackle David Bakhtiari, defensive tackle Kenny Clark, running back Aaron Jones). The overage doesn’t factor in Adams’ franchise tag. The $20.12 million would become a Green Bay salary cap charge as soon as the designation is made.

Could the Packers and Adams reach a long-term deal?

The Packers and Adams weren’t close to reaching an agreement during negotiations last offseason. Adams wanted to replace DeAndre Hopkins as the NFL’s highest paid wide receiver. The

I Tried Adele’s Punishing Workout Schedule, Wouldn’t Do Long-Term

Bella
  • Adele works out three times a day: weights, then hiking or boxing, then cardio, she told Vogue.
  • I tried her regime one day, and while it felt good to move a lot, it’s not sustainable for me.
  • The personal trainer Laura Hoggins advises people to work out less and recover between sessions.

Adele recently detailed the workout regime she follows, and it involves working out two to three times a day.

Speaking to British Vogue, the singer said she’d lost 100 pounds but that

weight loss
 was never the goal. She wanted to ease her anxiety, feel better, get stronger, and have time away from her phone, she said.

“I work out two or three times a day,” Adele told the outlet. “So I do my weights in the morning, then I normally hike or I box in the afternoon, and then I go and do my cardio at night.”

The singer works out with trainers and said the routine wouldn’t work for most people.

That said, I decided to give Adele’s routine a try, working out in the morning, afternoon, and evening for one day.

Adele works through “every weight machine in the gym” over an hour, according to US Vogue. 

I’m not sure how many machines there are in Adele’s gym, but if I were to use every one in mine, I’d barely manage a set on each within an hour.

But I did a few resistance-training exercises as I would normally, including squats, dead lifts, hamstring curls, and hip thrusts. I don’t have a trainer, but I do follow a workout program on the Sweat app, which tells me my
