TMC MP seeks equal treatment to women in films, sports
New Delhi, Aug 10 (PTI) Trinamool Congress MP Shatabdi Roy today rued in Lok Sabha over alleged discrimination against women in the country, saying the fairer gender should be treated equally in all spheres of life, including films and sports.Participating in a debate on the performance of sportspersons, Roy, herself a famous Bengali cine star, said women actors and sportspersons do not get their dues like their male counterparts even though they perform well and sought due recognition to women in all fields.”In films, the hero gets more money than the heroine. In cricket, Sachin (Tendulkar), Sourav (Ganguly) get in crores (of rupees) while women cricketers get in lakhs,” he said, amidst thumping of desks by the members.Responding to Roys remarks, union minister Kiren Rijiju, speaking on behalf of sports minister Vijay Goel, said he fully endorsed what she said.”I full agree with what the Honble member said,” he said.Rijiju also said the Prime Minister has set up an Olympic Task Force under which women athletes would be given due prominence.

PIRAEUS- The administration of Olympiakos is ready to renew its confidence in coach Pedro Martins for the rest of this campaign and next season as well. On his end, the Portuguese tactician has already sent a clear signal that not only does he want to stay at Olympiacos but he wants the main players of the squad to remain with him in Piraeus.“I am completely satisfied at Olympiacos, but I am not happy that we did not reach the point of competing for the title. I feel great here with all the people in the team and it is my great desire to stay, “the 49-year-old Martins said.To a question about next season’s roster:“The ability of our players is far superior to last year. Everyone has managed to raise their value. In the summer we had to assemble a new team. Right now, all players have shown what they can do. Everything depends on the market, but it is our desire to keep all of our players at the club “.Beyond that, Pedro Martins referred to Olympiacos’s game against Atromitos in Faliro on Sunday (12:30 o’clock New York time), stressing that regardless of which players will be used, the goal is to always play good football to satisfy the fans.“We do not know yet who will be available, because some players have had long trips and participated with their national teams. We will see their condition and we will decide. I always want to present a good showing for our fans, regardless of who we play. We wants victories and titles, we know that the difference between us and PAOK is a large one but we will not stop trying. Aside from the points, we want quality football and our fans have realized that. That sort of style of football is our great promise”, said Martins.Pape Abou Cissé also made a statement with the Senegalese center-back revealing that he is aware of the interest in his services from teams located outside of Greece.“I feel very tied with this club, we are a family. My only regret is that we could not win the league title. I know that there is interest, but I don’t listen at all, I am focused and happed at Olympiacos,” Cissé said, who later referred to his presence with his country’s National Team in Copa Africa, which will take place in Egypt this summer.” It’s a success that we made it to the final stage, and that I got to share those moments with my teammates. We want to win the trophy for the first time because Senegal is a country that has never won the Copa Africa.For the match against Atromitos, Cisse said: “It’s a small derby, we want to win. It is an important match for Atromitos, who wants to beat us to third place. We are playing at home, we have to be focused. We had a lot of absences due to the international break during the lead-up to the Atromitos match but we have to try to do everything we can so that we can win”.It is worth noting that the the “red and whites” match with the Peristeri-based club will take place with a sold-out Karaiskakis Stadium since the tickets that had been still available on Friday were less than two thousand in number.New Rumors Swirl Around FortounisThe Turkish Press continues to circulate rumors that Constantinople powerhouse, Fenerbachçe S.K., is interested in acquiring Greek attacking midfielder Kostas Fortounis from Olympiacos. Turkey’s “Fanatik” newspaper in an article on Friday (29/3) said that “Fener’s” coach, Ersun Yanal, has concluded that Fortounis was his chosen player so that Fenerbahçe can improve their midfield. Yanal’s assistant, Recep Karatepe did not only scout the 27-year old Greek international in the match Olympiacos played against Aris recently but instead he scouted Fortounis in two other matches as well. The same report from “Fanatik” uncovered that an order has been given to the director of transfers for “Fener” Damien Comolli to start negotiations with Olympiacos to acquire Fortounis.A the same time, there are rumors that Italian side Lazio have Fortounis in their transfer “crosshairs” as well.This coming Wednesday (3/4), Olympiacos will appeal against the decision of the Super League Disciplinary Committee’s primary decision to continue the derby with Panathinaikos that was interrupted in the 70th minute at OAKA.If the “Reds” win the appeal, they will then win the match by a court decision with the score of 0-3 and Panathinaikos will be docked three points. If the “Greens” win, the date will have to be decided so that the two sides can resume for what would’ve been the last 20 minutes of the match.TweetPinShare0 Shares

Associated Press LondonAugust 7, 2019UPDATED: August 7, 2019 00:40 IST English Premier League club Chelsea has apologized for child abuse. (Getty Images)HIGHLIGHTSA report said Eddie Heath, who coached Chelsea’s youth teams, abused young boysThe Premier League club issues an apology for past child sex abuseThe reports read Eddie Heath was a “dangerous and prolific child abuserEnglish Premier League club Chelsea has apologized for the “terrible past experiences” of some former youth players after an investigation into child sexual abuse.Barrister Charles Geekie found that Eddie Heath, who coached Chelsea’s youth teams from 1968-1979, was a “dangerous and prolific child abuser. His conduct was beyond reprehensible.”Geekie said the abuse by Heath, who died in 1983, “was able to occur unchallenged,” and his report documented “the life-changing impact it had on those affected.”Former Crewe manager Dario Gradi, who was suspended by the Football Association in 2016 amid separate investigations, was criticized by Geekie for failing to stop Heath when working at Chelsea in the early 1970s.”Mr. Gradi is the single example of a clear account of an adult in a position of responsibility at the club being informed about an allegation in relation to Mr. Heath at the very time of the events complained of,” Geekie said.”The consequence of my findings is that the complaint made about Mr. Heath was not referred to more senior members of the club and an opportunity to prevent Mr. Heath from going on to abuse others was lost. I consider it absolutely necessary in order to achieve the purpose of the review to name Mr. Gradi.”The 252-page report by Geekie details how Heath targeted vulnerable boys, earning their trust, abusing them and then using “fear to secure silence”. Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck has met with 17 of the abuse survivors, with the club saying compensation will be paid.”The board wishes to thank all the survivors and witnesses who came forward to assist the reviews and the club apologizes unreservedly for the terrible past experiences of some of our former players,” Chelsea said in a statement. “It is evident that Heath was a dangerous and prolific child abuser. His conduct was beyond reprehensible. The report details how abuse was able to occur unchallenged, and the life-changing impact it had on those affected.”advertisementGradi was appointed an assistant coach at Chelsea in January 1971, with the review unable to establish if he left in 1975 or 1976. Now 78, Gradi is accused of attempting to smooth over allegations of Heath assaulting a youth player during a visit to the player and his father.Gradi told Geekie’s investigation team that the father of the boy did not want the complaint to “get Eddie Heath into trouble”, insisting he informed club management of the allegations.”The fact that he (the father) didn’t want it to go any further, in other words, took the pressure off me as far as I was concerned,” Gradi is quoted as saying in the Geekie report. “I think I probably would have tried to stand up for Eddie Heath a bit.”When asked if he offered an apology, Gradi told the Geekie report: “No. What could I apologize for?”Also SeeFor sports news, updates, live scores and cricket fixtures, log on to indiatoday.in/sports.

zoom Another six shipbuilders are set to enjoy financial support from China in the forthcoming period as they have been added to the country’s White List of shipbuilders, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology informed.The shipbuilders in question are the Huatai Heavy industry (Nantong), Jiangsu Dajin Heavy Industry, Tsuneishi Group (Zhoushan) Shipbuilding, Zhejiang Xinle Shipbuilding, Fujian Changxing Shipbuilding Heavy Industry, and Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry.Additionally, after conducting a review of the assessment of the enterprises already on the list, the Chinese authorities decided to remove seven shipbuilders from the list. These include Dalian Liaoning Shipyard, Nantong Mingde Heavy Industry, Jiangsu Eastern Marine Equipment, Jiangsu Rongsheng Heavy Industries, Zhejiang Shipbuilding, Zhejiang Zhenghe Shipbuilding and Qingdao Yangfan.Following these changes, China’s White List includes a total of 70 shipbuilders.In late 2016, Clarksons Research informed that China introduced a set of revised criteria for its White List of domestic shipyards, under which builders can be dropped from the list if they suspend production or declare bankruptcy, merge with or be acquired by other yards, fail to win a new order and deliver a vessel over a two year period, or fail to deliver a ship, receive a contract, and have no units under construction over a one year period.Furthermore, Clarksons Research added that the White List could be shortened to 59 yards taking into account the yards which have declared bankruptcy and merged with others.The list was introduced in 2013 by the Chinese government, as an additional incentive for shipyards which comply with the country’s requirements in areas such as ship emissions, offering the rule-abiding shipyards benefits such as tax rebates and bank credits.The first batch of shipyard names was released in September 2014 and included some 50 companies.World Maritime News Staff
Jerusalem: Israeli troops shot dead four heavily armed Palestinians on the Gaza border early Saturday, one of whom had managed to cross and throw a grenade at troops, the army said. There have been frequent clashes along the Gaza border since the Palestinians began organising regular mass protests there in March 2018 but Saturday’s exchange was unusual because of the weaponry the army said was involved on the Palestinian side. “The terrorists were equipped with AK-47 assault rifles, RPG grenade launchers and hand grenades,” an army statement said. Also Read – Saudi Crown Prince ‘snubbed’ Pak PM, recalled jet from US A spokeswoman said: “The army opened fire after one of the terrorists scaled the barrier and hurled a grenade at the soldiers.” No casualties were reported in Israeli ranks. Palestinian demonstrations at the Gaza border demanding the lifting of Israel’s more than decade-old blockade have often led to violence and a deadly response from the Israeli army. At least 301 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza or the border area since March 2018, the majority during the demonstrations. Also Read – Record number of 35 candidates in fray for SL Presidential polls Seven Israelis have also been killed. The protests have declined in intensity in recent months following a truce brokered by UN officials and Egypt. Under the truce, Israel agreed to take steps to ease aspects of its blockade in return for calm on the border. Sporadic violence has continued but the Israeli army has said most of it has consisted of lone-wolf attacks. On August 1, a Palestinian seeking to avenge his brother’s death by Israeli fire entered Israel from Gaza armed with a Kalashnikov assault rifle and hand grenades. He was killed and three Israeli soldiers wounded, the army said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is widely seen as wanting to avoid a major flare-up in the Palestinian territories as Israel prepares for a snap general election on September 17, its second this year. But he is likely to face political pressure to act firmly against any significant attack. Israel and Hamas have fought three wars since 2008. The border exchange came as Palestinians prepare to mark Eid al-Adha, the feast of the sacrifice.
London: Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson insists Sadio Mane’s touchline tirade at Burnley showed his side’s desire to win the Premier League. Mane launched into a furious rant after being substituted during Liverpool’s 3-0 win on Saturday. The Senegal winger was apparently annoyed by Mohamed Salah’s failure to pass to him moments earlier. Mane brushed past Reds boss Jurgen Klopp and had to be consoled by team-mates Henderson, James Milner and Roberto Firmino on the bench.

Henderson, however, said he was pleased to see the rant from the usually mild-mannered Mane because it underlined the passion in the Liverpool team. “I’ve seen it now and again (from him). Sadio is fine, he’s a great lad,” Henderson said. “That’s just us pushing each other all the time. I think that’s important. We all want to do better, we all want to improve, but we’re really close and I think we can deal with that. Also Read – Vijender’s next fight on Nov 22, opponent to be announced later”I’m not sure (what set him off) to be honest. I couldn’t really understand at first but then when he came in, he was laughing and joking. “The most important thing was we got the result, Sadio knows that. He performed really well again.” “We want to push each other. We want to improve all the time, I quite like that now and again. I think we need it.” For the first time in their history Liverpool have won their first four league matches in successive seasons. After narrowly being pipped to the title by Manchester City last season, Liverpool are in good shape heading into the international break. But Henderson insisted the standards they are setting were not considered by the players to be sending a ‘catch us if you can’ message to their rivals. “We’re not setting them for anyone else, we’re setting them for ourselves. That’s what we want to do,” he added. “We want to win every week, we want to perform every week and that’s difficult because there are so many good sides in the Premier League and in Europe. It’s really hard. “Again for us, it’s game by game. We come up against different tests each week and it’s about giving everything every time we go onto the football pitch and we will see where we are at the end of the season.
CARROT RIVER, Sask. – Hundreds gathered in a small northeastern Saskatchewan community this afternoon to pay their respects to the Humboldt Broncos bus driver who died with 15 others after a crash last week.Glen Doerksen, who was 59 and from Carrot River, was driving the team’s bus to a junior hockey playoff game in Nipawin when there was a collision with a truck.It was standing room only at the service in Carrot River’s community hall — the red doors had to be held open to accommodate everyone.Among the attendees were two RCMP officers wearing their red serge and a group of men wearing hockey jerseys.Reporters were asked not to attend.Once it was over, a man carried an urn from the hall and a woman held Doerksen’s picture as they entered a white limousine.

Deep Blue, who has become so famous she has her own Twitter account, was previously spotted in Mexico.In 2015, the shark was captured on video off the coast of Mexico’s Guadalupe Island. It can be seen in the clip below shared by shark expert Mauricio Hoyos Padilla gliding majestically around a shark cage. A great white shark that researchers have named “Deep Blue” and believed to be the biggest great white on record, was spotted in Hawaii waters eating the carcass of a dead sperm whale.The nearly 20-foot long shark, who is rarely captured on film, was initially spotted feeding on a sperm whale carcass 20 miles off Oahu’s south shore. In photos taken by diver Mark Mohler and posted on Facebook, she is seen swimming alongside divers. Watch: Dolphin Leaps Feet Away From Unsuspecting SurferWatch: Deep-Sea Octopus ‘Billows Like a Circus Tent’ Stay on target But experts say great white sharks coming to Hawaii is not rare.“They’ve been coming here forever,” Dr. Melanie Hutchinson, a shark researcher for the University of Hawaii, told KHON2. “About 20 percent of the population from California and Mexico migrate here every year or every other year. So they are typically here in the winter.”Deep Blue, who’s believed to be more than 50 years old, was seen feeding on a sperm whale carcass, and this was likely the only reason she was spotted, according to Hutchinson.“What they’re doing when they’re in Hawaii is really deep dives during the day. And so that’s why people don’t typically interact with them. I think the sperm whale kind of presented an opportunistic foraging opportunity so that’s probably why people saw this animal,” said Hutchinson.Deep Blue is pictured here in November 2013 in Guadalupe Island, Mexico. She is believed to be the biggest great white shark on record. (Photo Credit: Michael Maier / Barcroft USA / Barcroft Media via Getty Images)How did Deep Blue become so big? It could simply be because of her age.Gavin Naylor, program director at the Florida Program for Shark Research, told Fox News in an interview in July: “It’s an older animal and when you look at the distribution of any animal, it’s the larger animals that are older.”More on Geek.com:Python Covered With More Than 500 Ticks Treated for AnemiaGirl Accidentally Brings Home Deadly Blue-Ringed Octopus from BeachOcean Rover Uncovers Rare Shark Nursery Off Irish Coast
The Vancouver Police Department is launching a program for city residents and business owners to register information about their surveillance systems in an effort to hasten criminal investigations.The police department announced the launch of its Community Camera Registration Program in a Tuesday news release.“Through this registration program, officers conducting investigations can quickly identify cameras that may have captured criminal activity for the cases they are working,” the police department said.People who choose to participate in the program would share details such as their location and the capabilities of their privately owned camera systems. They would be contacted by officers about video only if there was a crime near a camera registered with the program.The registration form for the program asks for several details, including when the system records, how long recordings are stored and what a camera’s field of view covers.“Video footage is extremely helpful in locating information about vehicles, people, timelines etc., when we are investigating crimes. The process, however, is slow as the officer has to drive or walk around an area looking for possible cameras and then attempt to contact the owner,” department spokeswoman Kim Kapp said in an email.
Posted: June 24, 2019 June 24, 2019 Doctor: Stabbing by Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher could have killed prisoner AP, Categories: Local San Diego News, National & International News, Politics Tags: Eddie Gallagher 
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A pathologist testified Monday at a Navy SEAL’s murder trial that a wounded Islamic State militant in Iraq could have died from a stabbing described by other witnesses.Dr. Frank Sheridan said he couldn’t determine a cause of death because there was no body and a lack of other evidence.The testimony at the trial of Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, though, countered a statement offered last week by another SEAL who stunned the court when he confessed to the killing.Corey Scott testified Thursday that he killed the victim by plugging his breathing tube after Gallagher unexpectedly stabbed the fighter while treating him for injuries suffered in an air strike outside Mosul in 2017.Navy Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, right, walks with his wife, Andrea Gallagher as they arrive to military court on Naval Base San Diego, Monday, June 24, 2019, in San Diego. Trial continues in the court-martial of the decorated Navy SEAL, who is accused of stabbing to death a wounded teenage Islamic State prisoner and wounding two civilians in Iraq in 2017. He has pleaded not guilty to murder and attempted murder, charges that carry a potential life sentence. (AP Photo/Julie Watson)Scott testified that the militant, described as an adolescent boy, would have survived the stabbing.But Scott said he decided to asphyxiate him because he assumed he would later be tortured and killed by Iraqi forces who captured him and brought him to the Navy medics for treatment.Gallagher, 40, is charged with murder in the killing of the boy and attempted murder for allegedly gunning down civilians from his sniper’s post.He has pleaded not guilty and his lawyers blame his former troop mates for fabricating the accusations to get Gallagher ousted from the special forces because they didn’t like his tough leadership.Scott and another SEAL said Gallagher had initiated medical treatment for the boy and then stabbed him one to three times in the neck for no apparent reason.Gallagher later texted a photo of the corpse to friends with the following message: “Good story behind this, got him with my hunting knife.”His lawyers said the message was an attempt at dark humor.Sheridan based his testimony on witness accounts and video of the wounded war prisoner before the alleged knifing.After the boy was wounded in an air strike — more than an hour before he was brought to the U.S. forces for treatment — he was interviewed by an Iraqi TV news crew. He appeared lucid and did not have significant hemorrhaging, Sheridan said.“He’s clearly responsive,” Sheridan said. “There’s no sign he’s bleeding from any wound.”Witnesses at the scene said Gallagher treated the boy for a leg wound and an apparent collapsed lung. The patient was sedated and given a breathing tube for a wound they believe occurred from the air strike blast.He was breathing normally after the procedure when Gallagher suddenly pulled out his personal knife and stabbed him in or near the neck, witnesses said.Depending on the location of the stab wounds, he could have died from profuse internal or external bleeding, Sheridan said. But he couldn’t make that determination.“I can’t give an opinion on the cause of death,” Sheridan said. “There just isn’t enough evidence.”___Melley reported from Los Angeles. AP FacebookTwitter
The American Soybean Association, National Corn Growers Association, National Association of Wheat Growers and National Sorghum Producers issued a joint statement regarding the 2014 Farm Bill on Friday, Feb. 27 at Commodity Classic, Phoenix, Arizona:“On behalf of our farmer members, we are united in our support for the comprehensive farm bill passed by Congress just over one year ago. We are keenly aware of the cuts just made to mandatory spending across many titles and strongly oppose any changes or cuts to farm bill programs, many of which are just now being implemented.“Commodity Classic attendees are anxious about the 32 percent drop in farm income projected for this year, compared to 2014. On a wide range of issues, from the farm safety net to the Renewable Fuel Standard to biotech approvals, certainty is what America’s farmers need most from their elected officials at this time, and we worked hard to improve farm programs in the 2014 farm bill to reduce the burden on taxpayers while ensuring farmers get support when they need it the most.“Our family farmers work hard each season to provide a safe and abundant supply of food, feed, fuel and fiber for the world. The best way for Congress to support our work is to not stand in the way of a law that works and has great promise for rural America.”

in Daily Dose, Data, Featured, News, Origination The number of single-family homes built-for-rent declined at the start of 2019, according to the latest data from the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) and the Census Bureau. The Census Bureau’s Quarterly Starts and Completions by Purpose and Design report indicates that there were 5,000 single-family built-for-rent starts for the first quarter of 2019, below the 6,000 estimated for the start of 2018. Over the last four quarters, 42,000 such homes began construction.The NAHB notes that these quarter-to-quarter fluctuations were not statistically significant. The current four-quarter moving average of market share (4.8%) remains higher than the recent historical average of 2.7% (1992-2012) but is down from the 5.8% reading registered at the start of 2013. Though built-for-rent single-family rentals have been on the decline, the overall single-family rental market has been on the rise. The market for single-family rental (SFR) securitizations continued to grow month over month. It increased to 4.7% in March from 4.2%, according to the latest Morningstar Credit Ratings report on the SFR market.The report indicated that the average vacancy rate had declined overall to 4% in March—the lowest since May 2018.The average retention rate for expiring leases also dropped to 78.9% in February, the latest month available, from 80.4% in January.Looking at single borrower performance, the report found that lease expirations had increased to 6.6% in March, up from 6% in February. Among the securitizations analyzed by Morningstar, AH4R 2015-SFR1 had the highest lease expirations at 8.3%, up from 7.6% in February. On the other hand, PRD 2018-SFR1 had the lowest percentage of lease expirations at 2.7% followed by PRD 2015-SFR3 at 4.4%.Among the securitized properties, the report said that rent gains from securitized properties in March trailed rent gains for three-bedroom properties. Additionally, the rent change for three-bedroom properties declined slightly to 5.6% from 6% in February. The rent for four-bedroom properties remained unchanged during the period.Rent growth for vacant-to-occupied properties increased to 3.9% from 2.5%, the report indicated.

Top Stories Former Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson retires Derrick Hall satisfied with D-backs’ buying and selling Larry Warford, OG, Kentucky – 6-3, 332 lbsMaybe my favorite prospect in the draft, someone I have been coveting to see in Cardinal red since October, Warford didn’t look like an explosive, powerful guard, but more that of a lumbering buffalo.Warford showed a combination of power and short area quickness that is rare for a man of his size and girth on film, but at the combine he put up a modest 28 reps on the bench, and was SLOOOOOOOW in individual drills.I have stayed awake many a night dreaming of a scenario that has Joeckel and Warford lined up on the left side of the Cardinals offensive line for the next decade, so take this “disappointment” from them with that knowledge.Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M – 6-4, 250 lbsAnother Aggie makes the list, but this one I expected… almost.I knew just by watching film that Moore wasn’t an explosive, up-the-field athlete that jarred defenders with power and then finessed his way to the quarterback.That being said, even I expected to see some better numbers coming from one of the better sack men in college football.His 40 time of 4.87 seconds was similar to that of Terrell Suggs in 2003, but he put up seven less reps on the bench than the former Sun Devil standout, only notching 12 reps of 225 pounds. Here are the five prospects that “disappointed” me at the NFL Combine.Luke Joeckel, LT, Texas A&M – 6-6, 306 lbsIt’s not that Joeckel necessarily disappointed, but it more looked like a guy that wasn’t as interested in being at the combine as I would have wanted him to be.Joeckel ran a slower than normal 40 for an elite left tackle prospect, and he is elite, and was pedestrian in the explosion drills.He made up for it a little bit with an excellent three cone time, but outside of that, he didn’t show the elite athleticism that shows up week in and week out on film.That’s why the combine can be a tricky situation. There are sites, multiple sites in fact, that are already knocking Joeckel down not only from the top overall prospect, but from the top left tackle prospect because of his not-so-impressive combine performance.To put it in a better light, Joeckel’s overall performance was similar to that of Brandon Mosley, the fourth round pick of the Giants in 2012, and not that of recent top flight left tackles like Matt Kalil, Russell Okung and others.That’s why it is important to take the combine with a grain of salt, but also to go back and see if the lack of explosion and lateral movement shows on the film. The 5: Takeaways from the Coyotes’ introduction of Alex Meruelo 0 Comments Share Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah – 6-3, 311 lbsCan not working out really hurt you that much? Just ask Mr. Lotulelei about that. The only reason Lotulelei makes this list is because I don’t have any idea what his future holds now.He was a contender to be the first overall pick if and when his heart ailment checks out, but until that time, I can’t list him as anything but a guy that I would let go by, and I would not have said that pre-combine.It probably wasn’t fair to have Lotulelei on my list, but the reality is he may fall down to the teens if there are still questions about his heart condition.Even after all this talk of combine disappointment, I would still love to see any combination of four guys — Joeckel and Warford or Lotulelei and Menelik — end up in Cardinal red come draft day. Earlier this week I hit on five performances at the combine that impressed me — of course those weren’t the only good performances — they just were the prospects I was watching with interest for the Arizona Cardinals.That means there has to be another side to the coin: who were the prospects that I was watching that may have disappointed? Disappointed may not be the right word though, it is more like, what five prospects left me with questions still unanswered? Moore is an interesting case where expectation meets reality, and then people start moving him down their boards. I never saw Moore as an elite-level pass rusher but more as a consistent effort-type that will be in the league for a decade plus and get you 6-8 sacks a year.Maybe Moore can prove me wrong like Suggs has done to so many critics.Menelik Watson, OT, Florida State – 6-5, 310 lbsWhile many believed Watson would blow up the combine, myself included, he came in and looked like just another guy.Built like an NFL tackle, Menelik preceded not show the raw athleticism that everyone expected, and instead left team officials scratching their heads.Guys like Ziggy Ansah, Barkevious Mingo, Lane Johnson and Terron Armstead can show that untapped athleticism that goes with their rough around the edges tape. But when Watson doesn’t blow anyone away in any drill (he literally ended up middle of the pack in every drill) it makes you wonder if he’s worth a risk early.There was a growing buzz that Watson could end up as high as the 20th pick to the Chicago Bears, and he was definitely a guy that I had been going back to get film on as a potential second round tackle option. But does the combination of inexperienced technique on film and average athleticism make you salivate? Grace expects Greinke trade to have emotional impact
