When Connor McDavid entered the NHL at the start of the 2015-16 season he did so with enormous hype that that almost seemed impossible to reach. He has not only reached it, he has arguably exceeded it in becoming the most dominant offensive player in hockey and already one of the all-time greats. He achieved a major career milestone on Thursday night when he recorded his 1,000th career point in the NHL, the fourth fastest player to reach that mark. That point came on a second period goal against the Nashville Predators to tie the game.Have a look at the play:…

The projection for 2024 was similar to the case of a major victory in 1972, where two models out of six showed a big gap. People have been writing to various media outlets to ask why they will not report how Socrates beat everyone in 2016 and 2024. I seriously doubt they will ever report what Socrates has forecast. In the 2020 election, the computer showed neck & neck – evenly divided 3 for…

LA28 chairman Casey Wasserman said games organisers in the staunchly Democratic California metropolis were confident of working smoothly with the incoming Trump administration and had already been in contact with the president-elect’s transition team. “The Olympics aren’t about politics, and they’re not about red and blue – they’re about red, white, and blue,” Wasserman told a news conference. “These are America’s games taking place in Los…
