So, what is the criterion for a person to be called an obese person? The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the standard measure to determine whether or not a person is overweight, average weight or underweight. BMI is the ratio between the height and weight of an individual. Accordingly, if the height of the person is 5 feet and the weight is 80 kg, the BMI is 16, which is considered as average weight. However, if the height is 5 feet and weight is 125 kg, the person will be considered as overweight, as the BMI is 25. If the BMI exceeds 30, the person is said to be obese.
In view of the higher medical risks, are insurance companies willing to extend medical insurance to an obese person? Well, health insurers may extend medical cover to obese people but it comes at an extra cost. The insurer may ask for a higher premium for the same amount of coverage from an obese person than the amount of premium charged from a person with average weight.
Apart from higher premium,the insurance company may permanently exclude certain ailments, illnesses and complications arising from and relating to obesity from the scope of medical coverage. This might restrict the insurance cover to bare minimum, thereby defeating the very purpose of insurance coverage. In cases of extreme obesity, the insurance company may reject insurance proposal of an obese person outright.

Lend your ears a listen to these five albums that (more or less) recently dropped– you won’t be disappointed.
1| Spoon • They Want My Soul
Austin-based Spoon is back and their new (their eighth, to be exact!) album is a strong comeback. Receiving an 8.6 rating on Pitchfork, it’s smooth, heady guitar rock.
Recommended If You Like: TV On the Radio, The Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, Divine Fits, The Shins
Tracks: Rent I Pay, Inside Out, Rainy Taxi, Knock Knock Knock, They Want My Soul
2| Odesza • In Return
First coffee, now music! A dreamy, downtempo indie-electronica masterpiece from a dynamic duo from Seattle with swirling melodies that may have just wrapped a definition around the term “shoegaze”.
RIYL: Flume, Panama, Purity Ring, Chet Faker
Tracks: All We Need (feat. Shy Girls), Say My Name (feat. Zyra), Bloom, Sun Models (feat. Madelyn Grant), Sundara
3| Rustie • Green Language
A U.K. fusion of hip-hop and electronic, peppered with blips that seem straight out of a retro video game. This will probably be spinning at your next underground banger. Progressive and eclectic.
RIYL: Cashmere Cat, Tourist, Shlomo, Star Slinger
Tracks: Attak (feat. Danny Brown), Up Down (feat. D Double E), Dream On, Tempest, Lost (feat. Redinho)
4| The New Pornographers • Brill Bruisers
Oh, Canada. Sweet as the maple syrup (and the people, for that matter) are Neko Case’s vocals and the dreamy indie-rock melodies that stream from Brill Bruisers. Actually, speaking of maple syrup, this makes for some great barbecuin’ music (and a twist on a classic recipe that is a must-try).
RIYL: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Neko Case, Of Montreal, The Morning Benders, Delta Spirit
Tracks: Fantasy Fools, Champions of Red Wine, Backstairs, Marching Orders, Brill Bruisers
5| Vance Joy • Dream Your Life Away
Just so we’ve covered all grounds of the globe, hailing from Australia is “Riptide” indie-folk artist, Vance Joy.

RIYL: Bon Iver, Beirut, The Avett Brothers, Fleet Foxes, Ben Howard, Band of Horses
Tracks: Riptide, Winds of Change, Mess Is Mine, Red Eye, Georgia

Lt Col Reynolds
In many cases, patients with traumatic brain injury also have problems with their vision. These problems can result from injury to the eye, the optic nerve, or to the brain itself. Dr. Green, can you tell us about some of the ocular and eye injuries often associated with TBI?
Definitely, Dr. Reynolds. Injuries to the eye that occur in connection with TBI are often the result of flying debris entering the eye, or a direct blow to the eye. A direct blow to the eye can cause the eye to rupture, or it can cause internal damage to the eye, which can only be seen with special instruments. These eye injuries may require surgery soon after they occur to remove debris from the eye and, when possible, repair damage to the structures inside the eye.
One of the most common causes for loss of vision following head trauma is traumatic optic neuropathy. This condition involves damage to the optic nerve, which is the nerve that provides the ability to see. Patients with traumatic optic neuropathy can experience sudden vision loss. In some cases, the injury is apparent hours, days, or even months after the incident. In other cases, the damage may not be detected until an eye examination is performed by a healthcare provider.
Other vision problems can result from damage to the occipital lobes in the back of the brain. The signals from the eyes are received by the occipital lobes, and these signals are used to form and interpret images. Damage to the occipital lobes can make it impossible to understand what the eyes are seeing, or cause a type of blindness known as cortical blindness.
The brain also controls the movements of the eyes. Damage to the part of the brain that controls those movements can cause a number of problems such as double vision and difficulty following a moving object or reading and tracking words on a page.
Some of the visual problems that patients with TBI can experience include:
- Blurred vision
- Reading difficulties
- Sensitivity to light
- Difficulty understanding images
- Double vision
- Headache following visual tasks
- Reduction or loss of peripheral vision
- Difficulties with eye movements, such as:
- Problems shifting gaze quickly from one point to the other
- Challenges focusing, and
- Problems with eye alignment

From the people that brought us the the Sigma , Gold Rush , and Magnate concepts by way of its new Zeus Twelve automotive division comes a new concept that follows in the outlandish footsteps of its other concept offerings.
Gray Design is back, and as part of its lauded return to the headlines, the company announced plans to build a new concept , aptly called the Nouvair, which is being touted as carrying a huge design influence from the Art Nouveau movement.
Nothing is imminent as far as official details are concerned, but Gray Design did release a handful of design studies on what it wants the Nouvair Concept to look like. And just like it’s past creations, there are definitely a lot of curves on its streamlined, retro-looking body. The large rear wheel arches and the arrow-like rear evokes a classic aura to the concept that matches well with the modern-looking vented hood and muscular front profile. The grille needs some work, though, as does the mustache-looking intakes below it.
No word on performance numbers, either, but we expect it to carry a powertrain akin to the 2.0-liter, Caterham Duratec in-line-four engine the Zeus Twelve Sigma had under its hood. This four pot is capable of producing 335 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and is good enough to hit a top speed of 180 mph.
Click past the jump to read about the Zeus Twelve Concept
It has the look of a supercar and it certainly performs like one too, if it’s reported Caterham engine is really going to be planted under its hood. It’s still the least powerful of the three concepts Zeus Twelve introduced, but hey, you take all that you can get any way you can get it, right?
This is the Zeus Twelve Sigma Concept and its body is built from carbon fiber, which is saying a lot considering that the material being used isn’t exactly the kind that you can find anywhere. Zeus Twelve emphasized building the a lightweight machine for the Sigma and the car’s overall design certainly speaks to its supercar appeal.
Under its hood, the Sigma comes with a 2.0-liter Caterham Duratec Straight 4 engine that produces 335 horsepower at 7,500 rpm, good enough to hit a top speed of 180 mph.

It’s Monday, which means it’s time for another Eating Styles poll. This week’s question comes to us from Not-so-famous Dave: do you like onions on your burger to be raw, sauteed, grilled or fried?
Of course, it may depend on the type of onion used (a sauteed red onion would be weird to me), so let’s assume we’re talking about white onions here. What’s your preference, So Good readers? Do you like the crunch of a raw onion or prefer the blast of flavor that comes from sauteed or grilled onions? Or maybe you like the decadence of deep fat fried? Vote for your favorite option below and explain in the comments.

An advertisement on the front page of a leading Indian newspaper on Monday has gone viral for generous and yet, suspicious content. In a massive front page advertisement that can be seen in several city editions, a company called Landomus Realty Ventures reached out to Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing it's desire to invest $500 billion in equity into India's National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP).
Making an appeal directly to the Prime Minister, the advertisement signed by company chairman Pradeep Kumar S said that they would like to "invest $500 billion in equity as the first phase of investment into the NIP and non-NIP projects listed by the Government of India under the India Investment Grid for 'Invest India' initiative."
Just to put this amount into perspective, $186 billon is the net worth of the world's richest man, Jeff Bezos as per Forbes on May 24. And while one cannot really contrast individuals against companies, things don't quite add up.
For one thing, despite being a US-based company, it bears no information on any topic beyond India and the message that was put forth in the advertisement addressed to the Prime Minister.
The company calls itself US-based and its website bears a New Jersey address. However, a Zaubacorp listing for Landomus Realty Ventures indicates that there is an active organisation with the same name and some of the same team members in Bengaluru.
"Landomus Realty Ventures Private Limited is a Private incorporated on 17 July 2015. It is classified as Non-govt company and is registered at Registrar of Companies, Bangalore. Its authorized share capital is Rs. 1,000,000 and its paid up capital is Rs. 100,000. It is inolved in Real estate activities with own or leased property," the Zaubacorp listing says.
According to this, Yashas Pradeep Kumar, Sathyaprakash Pradeep Kumar and Rakshith Gangadhar are Directors of the company. Individuals with the same names however are also listed as the leading members of the US based company.
The contradictions do not end here. The company website also lists out a team of five 'advisors', with photographs attached. While there is not much information available on most of these names, we do know that one of them, Pamela Keough appears to be the CEO of Make-A-Wish Connecticut.
Needless to say, Twitter users have come out en masse to voice their skepticism since the ads appeared earlier on Monday morning. While some point out the expenses incurred while placing such adverts and wonder why it was not flagged, others are busy debunking the company's website.
Take a look:


NIGERIA: CBN orders banks to obtain customers’ credit history
The Central Bank of Nigeria has ordered the lending institutions under its regulation to obtain the credit history of customers before giving out loans to them.
The apex bank disclosed this order in its consumer protection guidelines on ‘Responsible business conduct.’
The guidelines apply to all transactions by financial institutions licensed and regulated by the CBN, the agents, subsidiaries and associates.
These include commercial banks, merchant banks, specialised banks, micro-finance banks, Development Finance Institutions, finance companies, Bureaux-de Change, Primary Mortgage Banks, credit bureaux, and Payment Service Banks.
Others are switching companies, Payment Solution Service Providers, payment terminal service providers, non-bank acquirer, super agents, Mobile Money Operators, and other licensed providers of digital financial services.
Part of the guidelines read, “Obtain the credit history of consumers from the Credit Risk Management System, Credit Bureaux and other sources of credit reference to ascertain consumers’ outstanding debt obligations and repayment history before advancing credits.”
To ensure that debt recovery processes were courteous and fair, devoid of undue pressure, intimidation, harassment, humiliation or threat, the CBN said that the financial institutions should follow its stated orders.
The CBN said that the lenders must inform customers of the debt recovery procedures in loan contracts; proactively engage and give customers early notice of outstanding obligations prior to the beginning of debt collection process; and initiate foreclosures only when other reasonable attempts to reach a resolution had been unsuccessful.
It added that the banks must give customers a minimum period of six months from the date of notice of foreclosure, the option of a private sale before commencing foreclosure except where the customer waived the right and ensure that the entire debt collection process was transparent and with active participation of the customer including the foreclosure.
The apex bank said that financial institutions must provide customers a report of sale of the asset, stating the process, proceeds, incidental expenses and the net proceeds.
It must also ensure that the net proceeds were immediately applied to the loan account and customers informed of any balance and be liable for the actions of their agents engaged for the purpose of debt collection.

The results of a recent inquiry into the effects of short-term rental accommodation (STRA) on long-term rental markets in Queensland have been released, and they may come as a surprise to some. Conducted independently by the University of Queensland, the report aimed to discover the extent to which STRA, particularly through platforms like Airbnb and Stayz, impacts housing affordability and availability in the state.
As of the start of 2023, there were approximately 19,773 active short-term rentals across Queensland, with the majority located in the state’s south-east. These rentals are most prevalent in tourist hotspots such as the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Noosa, Douglas, Whitsunday, Cairns, Moreton Bay, and Townsville.
Despite long-standing claims that short-term rentals contribute to tightening long-term vacancy rates and increasing rents across the country, the Queensland review determined that short-term rentals have a “limited impact on rental affordability.” Instead, the report identified dwelling stocks as the significant contributor to the scarcity of long-term rentals and subsequent lease increases.
The proposed short-term rental register smacks of using any excuse for the government to collect data on property investors for the purposes of ultimately penalising them through greater regulation and higher rates
This finding may cause some jurisdictions to reconsider their stance on capping or curtailing the prevalence of short-term accommodation. The Queensland government, however, is unlikely to impose large-scale restrictions, as the review concluded that such measures would “fail to account for the diverse nature of short-term rental dynamics across Queensland.”
The state government is considering the implementation of a short-term rental registry, which Deputy Premier Steven Miles believes could “serve as a tool to support local governments in monitoring short-term rental activity and could provide invaluable insights into its impact on our housing market over time, to inform evidence-based regulation.”
Mr. Miles described the report as productive, providing clarity on “whether short-term rentals like Airbnb and Stayz are affecting the tight rental market.” He emphasized that while short-term rentals can affect rental affordability to some extent, their impact is limited, and the primary issue remains housing availability and supply.
Antonia Mercorella, CEO of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland, expressed hope that the issue of STRA would “stop distracting government from where their real focus needs to be – addressing supply.” She also pushed back on the idea of establishing a rental accommodation register, suggesting that the government’s motives might extend beyond assessing the long-term impact of STRA.
“The proposed short-term rental register smacks of using any excuse for the government to collect data on property investors for the purposes of ultimately penalising them through greater regulation and higher rates,” she said.
The inquiry’s findings offer a fresh perspective on the relationship between short-term rentals and long-term housing affordability in Queensland. By highlighting the limited impact of STRA on rental prices and emphasizing the importance of housing supply, the report may influence future policy decisions and shift the focus towards addressing the root causes of housing challenges in the state.

Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu to boycott Ballon d'Or ceremony as club sever ties with FIFA for duration of transfer ban
- Barcelona are not allowed to sign players during the next two windows
- Transfer ban relates to breach of rules over singing young players
- President Josep Bartomeu will not attend the Ballon d'Or ceremony
Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu will boycott the Ballon d'Or ceremony in protest at the transfer ban imposed upon the Catalan club by FIFA.
The Catalans are not allowed to make any signings in the next two transfer windows because of a breach of rules relating to the signing of international players under the age of 18.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld FIFA's ruling after the Spanish giants failed with an appeal to overturn the ban, with Barcelona still relentlessly contesting the charge.
Josep Bartomeu (above) will not attend the Ballon d'Or ceremony in wake of transfer ban
Luis Suarez's move to Barcelona was allowed while the club appealed against the ban on new signings, which is now in force after the CAS upheld the original sanction imposed by FIFA
Bartomeu has contacted Sepp Blatter to inform the FIFA president of his intended absence from the January 12 award ceremony and insists the club are to sever all ties with the governing body for the duration of the ban.
'FIFA has not told us who made the original charge and during the period of the sanction we will not maintain any institutional relations with them,' Bartomeu said at a press conference.
'I have sent a stern letter to Sepp Blatter and I will not be attending the Fifa Ballon d'Or gala set for January 12.
Barcelona are not allowed to sign players for the next two transfer windows
Bartomeu said relations with FIFA will cease to exist during the period of the sanction
'This is not the end of the matter. I foresee the Barca case becoming a watershed in the football world, just like the Bosman case. However long it lasts, we will not lose this case.'
Barcelona forward Lionel Messi is on the three-man shortlist for football's top individual prize but is expected to lose out to Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.
The club also have a number of players, including Neymar, Luis Suarez, Andres Iniesta and Xavi, who are in the running to be named in the Fifa FIFPro World XI.

Your tooth enamel plays a crucial role in your oral health. This thin, translucent tissue covers your teeth and serves as a type of shield. For example, without enamel your teeth would be more vulnerable to damage from grinding and chewing. Enamel also reduces painful sensations that result from exposure to hot or cold foods and drinks.
Your surgery is behind you, and your new dental implants will soon boost both your health and your confidence. But before your life gets back to normal, you'll want to keep a few things in mind as you recover from the surgical procedure.
When recovering from tooth implant surgery, you'll likely be restricted to soft foods as your mouth heals. For example, foods such as yogurt, eggs, fish, and pasta will be on the menu until the soreness subsides.
It's easy to take teeth for granted. But people who have lost one or more teeth are often eager to find a way to reduce physical discomfort and ease self-consciousness. Dentures are a common and traditional solution, but tooth implants can offer even more benefits. Here's what replacement teeth can do for you.
While a tooth implant can help you achieve a natural-looking smile, the price tag might seem out of reach for many people. The New York Times estimates that an implant for a single tooth could cost up to $4,500, but the price will vary based on a number of factors. For example, the location of the tooth and the potential need for preliminary operations, such as bone grafting, can affect the overall cost.
While tooth implants are suitable for many people, this dental solution isn't ideal for everyone. Learn the factors that might affect your tooth implant eligibility. Note that some of these factors are out of your control, but others are lifestyle choices that you can adjust over time.
As is the case with most forms of surgery, once your dental implant procedure is over, there's still a recovery period. It begins after the dentist has finished his or her work and the sedation begins to wear off.
The sedation has worn off, and you've been discharged from surgery with new dental implants. What comes next? Your dentist's office will likely issue some information about recovery and post-op care. While the information given to you might vary depending on your unique situation, here's a general rundown of how to care for yourself after dental implant surgery.
Undergoing dental surgery doesn't have to be a stressful ordeal. If your concerns are centered on the potential for pain, sedation techniques will clear those worries away. So what's the cost of using a sedative to ensure a pleasant experience? Let's explore the possible price tag.

Helpline 0844 332 0932
Because the shoulder is the most flexible joint in the body, it is easily prone to injuries. There are multiple surgeries done on the shoulder that are needed to repair pain and loss of function. The shoulder joint normally can cause the arm to move in front of, to the side, above and behind the body. This is why it is prone to injury.
Non-surgical methods of therapy are usually employed before surgery but in some cases, the delay in getting surgery can worsen the condition so that it is more difficult to repair later. The doctor will often make to whether to wait or go ahead with surgery.
The shoulder joint is made up of three separate bones: the humerus, which is the upper arm bone, the shoulder blade or scapula and the collar bone or clavicle. The humerus has a ball at the top of it that fits into the glenoid or small socket within the scapula. The collar bone acts as a supporting bone to the shoulder joint. There is a soft tissue rim called the labrum, which lends support to the glenoid socket. Articular cartilage is at the head of the arm bone and there is a thin inner lining of the joint that together allow for a smooth joint motion.
There is a thin sheet of fibers surrounding the shoulder joint. This joint capsule provides stability but allows for a wide range of motion of the joint. The rotator cuff is a strong group of muscles and tendons that are attached to the upper arm. It covers the entire joint surface, protecting it. There are muscles attached to the rotator cuff that allow for motion of the joint. There are bursae, which are sac-like membranes that cushion and lubricate the joint.
Diseases of the shoulder include bursitis and tendonitis. This happens because of overuse of the shoulder, usually in sports. The rotator cuff becomes impinged beneath the acromioclavicular joint and may need surgery if extensive physical therapy or rest doesn’t take care of the problem.
You can also have a partial thickness tear in the rotator cuff that can be associated with spurs on the underside of the acromion or the acromioclavicular joint or with chronic inflammation of the joint. A cortisone injection and other conservative therapy might not be helpful to take care of the pain so that surgery is required for a partial thickness tear.
Full thickness tears are the result of impingement of the muscle and are associated with falls or heavy lifting. Nonsurgical treatment is preferred but if this doesn’t make a difference, surgery is recommended. If surgery is recommended, it can involve full-thickness rotator cuff repair, shaving of bone spurs, and arthroscopic evaluation of the rotator cuff may need to be done. Extensive rehabilitation of the joint will be necessary after the operation.
The shoulder joint becomes unstable when the head of the humerus is forced out of the socket itself. It can be from trauma to the joint or from overuse of the ligaments of the shoulder. There are subluxations and dislocations of the shoulder. A subluxation is a partial dislocation that can eventually become a dislocation. Surgery is required for recurrent dislocations of the shoulder to keep the shoulder in place.
A collarbone injury can involve a fracture or an AC joint separation. These are usually caused by injury and are treated without surgery unless the injury is severe and markedly out of place.
You can have an arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder joint which involves inserting a small device that has a lighted camera and tools within it to see the cartilage and bone. Repairs can be made through the laparoscopy. Complications include bleeding and infection. You can have a problem with the surgery so that you need to open up the surgical field in an open surgery.
Open surgery might be necessary because it gives a better outcome than laparoscopic surgery. Recovery depends on what was done in the surgery rather than whether or not it was a laparoscopic surgery or open surgery.
Infection can happen with an open or laparoscopic surgery and laparoscopic surgery can do damage to blood vessels and nerves, which can happen in open surgeries if the surgeon is especially unskilled.

The rear guard was made up of two dozen English huntsmen.
Ooty: The expedition of John Sullivan, the then collector of Coimbatore, to explore Nilgiris is said to be tough and an arduous task in the challenging terrain in early 1800s.
Giving an account on Sullivan's expedition, Mr .Dharmalingam Vegugopal, the director of Nilgiris Documentation Centre (NDC), said that John Sullivan set out on January 2 in 1819, by having at his disposal an entire contingent consisting of army men, several dozen war elephants, hundreds of dogs and ponies. The rear guard was made up of two dozen English huntsmen.
“They began the ascent of the mountain from the side of Denaigoukot (now Sirumugai near Mettupalayam in Coimbatore district). After having reached a level of 1,000 feet, the expedition was compelled to abandon its elephants and to throw away nearly all its baggage and climb further by means of cords and pulleys. Climbing step by step, cutting steps into the rocks and after conquering all the obstacles, the expedition reached the Nilgiris plateau and landed at Dimhutti village in Kotagiri on January 8 on 1819,” he noted.
The calendar titled’Bicentenary of Modern Nilgiris 1819-2019' brought out by the NDC to commemorate the bicentenary of modern Nilgiris, serves as an illustrative documentation of the foundation of Modern Nilgiris, which gives an insight into how John Sullivan and his team's expedition in 1819 possibly was and genesis of modern era of Nilgiris.
The paintings done by the local artist Gokul Gowder and reproduced in print in the calendar gives an artist's view on the events in 1819 that represent the unforgettable journeys of Europeans to the Nilgiris.

Hannah Montana's third album, set for an April release, will certainly be her most controversial.
Hannah Montana, the stage name for country/pop star Miley Cyrus, is including a remix of the mid-90s alternative hit 'Closer' written by Nine Inch Nails.
"I love country music more than anything," Cyrus told reporters, "and one of my heroes has always been Johnny Cash. I really admired what he did with 'Hurt', and I thought that maybe I could do the same thing with another Nine Inch Nails songs."
Of course, the lyrical content in 'Hurt' is far less controversial than what Hannah Montana is tackling with 'Closer'.
Johnny Cash's hauntingly beautiful rendition of 'Hurt' was a huge hit, and Cyrus says she hopes to "bring a new kind of audience" to her music.
"I don't want to lose any of my fan base. There are plenty of songs on the album that my current fans will enjoy, and I hope they will enjoy my version of 'Closer' as well. I've made it into a nice pop-country song."
The version of 'Closer' on the Hannah Montana album, titled Hannah Montana 3: Meet the New Me, is certainly different than the version Nine Inch Nails released on The Downward Spiral back in 1994. Her version, which is much more "cheerful", features a few lyrical changes. Cyrus sings "I want you to fuck me like an animal" and "I bring you closer to God" in place of "I want to fuck you like an animal", and "you get me closer to god".
"The lyrical change was a must," Cyrus said. "And I want everyone to understand that this is a good Christian song. Those lyrics are not meant to represent pre-marital intercourse. They are like a tribute to the husband I will have some day. I want him to know that our sex will bring us closer to each other and to God. Sex is supposed to be a beautiful thing. Of course, I wouldn't know yet, because I am a virgin."
There is no word yet on whether or not Cyrus is releasing the album through Disney, her label from her first two albums. She did indicate though that she is not going to release an edited version of the album.
"I want everyone to hear what I have to sing. They're gonna have to hear it when they see me live, so they better listen to the record."

Okay, we've posted some things here from time to time that show how you can take some retro pieces of gaming equipment, and repurpose it into something wonderful and new. This is not one of those posts.
However, if you have an unused Game Boy sitting around gathering dust somewhere, and you're looking to house your iPod inside something made by Nintendo, then you can check out the iPod Game Boy case.
The cool thing is, they've wired the front buttons to mimic the click wheel controls, and you can even change the volume. It might not look pretty, but it's functional and retro. What more can you ask for?

The Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide Newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, has said the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) claim that President Nana Akufo-Addo is running a family and friends government is for propaganda purposes.
He explained that, a year to the elections, the opposition party is just throwing this list of 51 people in the public domain to court bad press for the government.
The NDC released a list of 51 government appointees they believe are either family members or friends of the President.
This phenomenon is not exclusive to the NDC as the New Patriotic Party then in opposition also accused former President John Mahama of appointing his family and friends to key government positions.
They even alleged that, his own brother, Ibrahim Mahama was running a parallel government and awarding contracts – an allegation the NDC vehemently denied.
Now in opposition, the NDC sees it as a payback time and its Director of Communication, Sammy Gyamfi has served notice more names will soon drop.
But, Mr Baako on Accra-based Peace FM, Thursday said the list put out by the NDC has “some due diligence defect.”
He noted that if indeed President Akufo-Addo has engaged in any abuse of power, the NDC should have filed a petition at the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice.
“The NDC is inviting us to engage in propaganda masturbation. It’s an agenda because we are a year towards elections,” Mr Baako added.

Beck Grey has a new queer romance book out (gender-fluid, gay, trans), Love in the Pacific Northwest book 4: Free Me. And there’s a giveaway.
A gender-fluid cutie, a workaholic hottie, and a hookup gone right.
No romantic relationship could ever compete with my dream job. Sure, it gets lonely, but that’s what occasional hookups are for. Work-life balance? Who cares? I certainly don’t. Until chest pains bring me to my knees and land me in the emergency room.
It’s a wake-up call I can’t afford to ignore.
When my well-meaning family encourages me to make some major life changes, like hiring a meditation and physiotherapist, whatever that is, I’m worried enough to agree.
Imagine my surprise when my practitioner turns out to be the hookup I haven’t been able to forget.
What’s a fabulously vivacious gender-fluid beauty to do when stress is high and Prince Charmings aren’t lined up at their door? Head to the club to recharge my sparkle on the dance floor. I have no intention of hooking up with anyone. Hookups are not my thing.
Then I see the slightly older hottie in the Tom Ford suit, and all my self-restraint goes up in a blast of glitter.
When it turns out he’s my new meditation client and my friend’s older brother, I’m sure the universe is messing with me.
Because mixing business with pleasure is a huge no-no.
So why does my heart keep shouting yes?
Free Me is a low-angst, opposites attract, worlds collide, contemporary LGBTQ romance about a hookup gone right. It contains no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA.
Warnings: Transphobia by a member of the LGBTQ community on a member of the community
About the Series:
Turns out, perfection isn’t a prerequisite for happiness.
Whether it’s risking your heart on a hookup, falling for your brother’s best friend, taking that second chance when it arrives, or pursuing a relationship that doesn’t look like everyone else’s — life is complex, but love doesn’t have to be.
Snarky, sweet and spicy, Love in the Pacific Northwest is a first person POV, low-medium angst, open door, contemporary LGBTQ romance series of interconnected standalones. No cheating and a guaranteed HEA every time!
Beck is giving away a $20 Amazon gift card with this tour:
I walk out to the bedroom balcony and look down at the patio. Blake is lounging by the pool in swim trunks and sunglasses, reading a book. He looks incredibly relaxed, and it makes my heart happy. “Hey, handsome.” He glances up and his face breaks into a wide grin. Okay, yes, we’ve been together for a few months, but his smile still makes my insides all melty and warm. “You want to come in and eat, or should I bring the food out?”
“Put on a suit and come down. This is my big plan for the day.” He gestures to the pool area and waves his book.
I lean my elbows on the railing and grin down at him. “If you’re trying to seduce me, it’s working.”
“Excellent. Step one in my evil plan is complete. Now come down here. I missed you.”
“Be down in a sec!” I hurry inside, strip out of my work clothes, then lather myself in the sunscreen that smells like coconut. Blake loves the scent, and I love how he nuzzles my neck when I use it. I pull on my tiniest black and white print swim briefs, grab a beach towel from the closet and the food bags from the kitchen counter, and hurry down to the game room and out to the patio. “Should we eat at the table or on the loungers like heathens?”
Blake glances up from his book and his eyes lock on my tiny swimsuit. I do a slow spin, giving him a good view of my ass. “Like?”
He pulls his sunglasses to the end of his nose and peers over them. “That’s new.” His voice is thick with lust. Oh, yeah. Mission accomplished.
“It is! And it’s so adorable!”
Blake licks his lips. “And so tiny.”
“I had a feeling you might like it.” I skip past him to the table and deposit the bags.
Blake practically growls and grabs my hips the moment I put the bags down. “Come here.”
I laugh as he manhandles me, hauling me close and inhaling my skin. He drags his nose across my abdomen and my cock stirs, eager to join in the fun, but my stomach growls with hunger. “Mmm. I’m fully on board with whatever you’re planning here, Darling, but we should eat before the food gets cold.”
Blake bites my hip. “We can heat it up.”
My laugh quickly turns to a gasp as his tongue teases above the edge of my suit. It’s all I can do not to press his head a few inches lower. “Blake, Darling, I have souvlaki and Greek salad.”
He hums and sits back, waggling his eyebrows at me. “You know I love Greek.”
I snort at his double entendre. “As do I, my darling. So let’s eat.” I wink at him. “Then we can eat.”
His chuckle warms every part of me. He pushes to his feet with a sigh. “If we must, we must.”
“We must.” I press up on my tiptoes and pucker up.
He obliges me, but turns my expected quick press of lips into a lingering kiss that curls my toes and has me second-guessing my stance on eating first. As I’m about to give in, he lets me go and pats my backside. “C’mon. Let’s feed you so we can move on to other enjoyable things.”
Beck is a non-binary writer of sweet, sexy, LGBTQ happily ever afters. Why? Because everyone deserves all the happy! They live in the Northeastern United States with their two adorable dogs.
Weekdays are spent working their day job, but nights and weekends are devoted to writing stories involving hot characters, favorite tropes, and happy endings. Any additional time includes reading, laughing with friends, drinking red wine, and playing D&D. If there’s cake involved at any point it’s a win!

School Board’s Sloppy, Secretive Management
The July 16 School Board meeting was a battle between the public, who demands to be heard, and a school board that seemingly wants to shut them down and do their business in secret. Over 26 people attended, including two revered kindergarten teachers, Ms. Neeve and Ms. Crumley, most holding signs, showing support for School Board member Dee Perry. Perry has filed in Federal Court to fight the board’s formation of a subcommittee excluding her, most probably violating the Brown Act.
Every speaker spoke against the board’s actions trying to marginalize Perry. After one eloquent speaker, the audience clapped. Visibly upset by this show of solidarity, Board president Jan Vickers told the audience that they had spoken for 20 minutes and she was closing public comment. The crowd booed. After conferring with other board members, Vickers reconsidered and let speakers continue. Vickers’ attempt to limit and close public comment is sloppy management and counter to the spirit of the Brown Act standards of openness.
But there’s more incompetent management. You do not have to give your name to speak. A young man declined to give his name on the speaker card, and Vickers was not going to call the blank name card for public comment, requesting his name before he could speak. An audience member called this out as a potential Brown Act infraction, and Vickers eventually allowed him to speak without identifying himself.
But the biggest sloppiness in management, shirking their fiduciary responsibility and further evidence of what seems to be a desire to “rule in darkness,” was with the consent calendar. There were 11 items on the consent calendar which they were hoping to slide by without board or public comment. When an audience member requested that all “consent” items be pulled for discussion, Vickers only allowed one to be separated—approval of minutes of the previous three meetings. When Perry requested that minutes reflect her as “Absent” as opposed to “Vacation” (as has been the case for every previous member’s absence). Vickers insisted it say “Vacation,” even saying it was she who put it there. The vote was 4-1 and now reflects “Absent.”
Amazingly, the minutes of the June 25 meeting showed that they raced through the thick agenda in 34 minutes—no discussion and no questions on 11 consent items, and no questions and no discussion on 11 action items. Are they doing their job? That’s 1.5 minutes per item. One of these items was the superintendent’s pay raise—they voted on this 8.1 percent pay raise without discussion. Curious that the superintendent runs just four schools in Laguna, yet the superintendent for the Orange School District with 40 schools makes less money. They discussed his pay raise the following Thursday, meaning they gave him the raise and then discussed it after. Great governance, more sloppy work.
Back to the consent calendar. Items B-K were voted on as one item. Ten items, and each speaker got only 3 minutes to comment on all of them lumped together? City Council allows public comment on each item. No discussion and no questions on almost half a million dollars of expenditures, including $12,800 for the board to go to a conference in San Diego.
With Vickers’ experience, is this “self-selected” three-times-in-a-row president (who refused to let Perry be president because, in Board member Peggy Wolff’s words, “She isn’t presidential material”) doing her job? Shouldn’t the board be discussing items, looking into what the staff is doing and spending our money on? Running sloppy meetings in a dictatorial fashion, possible Brown Act violations, shutting down the public—this is what 32 years of experience gets us?
I’ve reported this to the Orange County Department of Education. It won’t matter. The School Board rules supreme. The only way to change this toxic environment is to vote new people in next year.

The team of the Associazione Art. Cult. “A Rocca” and Eprojectconsult International department hosted a group from Bratislava, Slovakia in the frame of Erasmus+ programme. We hosted 3 selected participants, one accompanying teacher and one visiting teacher) during the project MECHANIK OF EUROPEAN QUALITY. During the internship, they were capable of carrying out instructions accurately and methodically in the field of Car Mechanics and demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of mechanical and or electrical components.
In the free time they had chance to visit some beautiful places in Sicily, including Messina, The Eolian Islands, Milazzo, Siracusa, Noto, Etna, Taormina, Palermo, Cefalu and know Italian cuisine thanks to the local restaurants. We hope that their experience of living abroad was unforgettable and enriching in the cultural way.
Duties performed by the interns:
- Examination of vehicle and machine Systems.
- Periodic servicing of vehicle and machines.
- Replacement and replenishment of components and units.
- Identification and repair of faults in vehicles, machine components and systems.
- Implementation of diagnostic tests.
- Evaluate information and data interpretation of technical information.
- Correct use of tools and equipment.
- To work within the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act
At the end of the project, participants received “A Rocca” placement certificate”.
Most importantly the participants gained professional experience in their sector, so that they will be more competitive in the labor market in Slovakia.
Consequently, the participants seemed to be satisfied with this project, and from their evaluations it is clear that they feel it was an interesting and useful experience.

“Scotland is a tolerant, friendly and inclusive society. Unfortunately we sometimes have to deal with tragedies caused by prejudice and bigotry within our communities. We are well aware of the impact this has on individual victims, their families and the fears and concerns it raises in the wider community. This is why we need to do all that we can to eradicate prejudice and bigotry from our society.”

“Intolerance is a new website created by a partnership between Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service and Learning & Leisure Services of North Lanarkshire Council. The website is intended to explore hate crime in Scottish society. This is done through thought provoking videos supported by teaching materials, designed to be used with young people to explore hate crime and its implications for both victims and perpetrators. The materials will ask users to decide if the videos reflect real life and explore when bullying becomes hate crime. Ultimately we hope the website will lead young people into thinking about the implications of intolerant behaviour.”

“North Lanarkshire Council fully supports this working partnership between third sector agencies, staff and most importantly our students. In this initiative our young people have addressed some of the most difficult issues affecting modern society. I take great pride in the way our students have used their knowledge, skills and talents to tackle these issues openly and with sensitivity.
Finally, I am grateful to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Office for providing us with the opportunity to create this resource; one that I'm sure will be used in Scottish schools for many years to come.”

'Them and Us' is the story of Jack who allows himself to be drawn into a world of sectarian hatred. The script is about a hate crime motivated by sectarianism. Steph uses Jack's infatuation with her as a way of controlling him. While at one level Jack is aware of this he lacks the strength of character to break free from a course of action he knows is wrong. This fictional story is obviously a non-typical and extreme example of sectarian behaviour. However it was created by pupils from Bellshill Academy and Cardinal Newman High School and is intended to stimulate discussion about the nature of sectarianism.

In what circumstances can you judge that a parent is “not good enough”? Apparently when they are a school governor. In its latest set of reforms in education, the government plans to scrap mandatory elected parent representation on school governing boards, so ending a democratic form of governance that has been in place since the late 1970s.
With this move, the government has gravely misunderstood not only what elected parents contribute to school governance, but also the legitimacy and credibility their involvement lends to the process of governing…

If it had been accepted, President Reagan's 1986 offer to the Soviet Union to ban all strategic nuclear missiles would have left the United States vulnerable to Soviet attack in the absence of subsequent large defense budget increases and a major buildup of strategic defenses, according to a report by the Joint Chiefs of Staff made public Friday.
The report, disclosed by Sen. Sam Nunn (D-Ga.), tended to support criticism in many quarters at the time that Reagan had acted precipitously in making the sweeping proposal to Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev at their October, 1986, summit meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland.
The offer, made without first being circulated among key government agencies, faded into obscurity when Gorbachev demanded as a condition of his acceptance that the United States pledge to severely restrict research on the Strategic Defense Initiative, Reagan's plan for space-based missile defenses.
The Pentagon study demonstrated that the proposal "could have posed serious national security problems and compelled large budgetary increases," said Nunn, the influential chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and a critic of Reagan's Reykjavik proposal.
"The lesson we should draw . . . is that the President should obtain the . . . advice of his top military advisers before, and not after, making such far-reaching proposals to the Soviet Union," Nunn said.
Release of the report, which reflects the conclusions of Adm. William J. Crowe Jr., the nation's top-ranking military officer as chairman of the joint chiefs, comes as the Senate is conducting ratification hearings on the more modest arms reduction agreement signed at last month's Reagan-Gorbachev meeting in Washington. That treaty would eliminate ground-launched medium-range missiles from the superpowers' arsenals.
The large budget increases that Reagan's proposal would have made necessary pose a sharp contrast to the current Pentagon effort to cut $33 billion from its 1989 budget request to help reduce the huge federal budget deficit.
Congress required the joint chiefs to provide the assessment in an amendment to the defense bill for fiscal 1988.
Under the plan Reagan proposed in Iceland, the United States would have agreed not to withdraw from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty for 10 years, and both nations would have eliminated all their land- and submarine-based missiles during the same period.
In the wake of the Iceland summit, many Administration critics criticized the proposal as a public relations gesture rather than a serious negotiating position.
Nunn argued that the proposal would have left the United States and its allies vulnerable to the Soviets' superior non-nuclear forces.
"What would (the United States) do, under these conditions, to correct the conventional balance, which now favors the Soviet Union so dramatically?" Nunn asked.
The joint chiefs' report said that the proposal, had it been accepted, would have set off a new arms race in which both nations would have invested heavily in bombers and submarines equipped to carry cruise missiles, neither of which would have been covered by the accord.
At the same time, the United States, which "could not afford to remain relatively defenseless against nuclear attack by bombers and cruise missiles," would have had to erect costly defenses along the nation's borders to counter those weapons, the study said.
Also, the joint chiefs maintained, "Given the potential for Soviet cheating, even in a U.S.-Soviet zero-ballistic missile world, U.S. ballistic missile defense forces would be required to protect against any covertly held Soviet ballistic missiles."
The version of the report made public did not provide a specific projection of costs for the defense improvements, but it said the expense would "exceed any realistic projection of near-term defense budgets."

The operative word about Ketanji Brown Jackson is “first.” Once she is sworn in to the US Supreme Court, after being confirmed by the Senate Thursday 53-47 (three Republicans joined Democrats in supporting her), she will be the first Black woman on the high court in its 233 years. And she will be the first former public defender to join the court. Brown Jackson—the daughter of a lawyer and a school principal and currently a federal appellate judge in Washington, D.C.—won Senate confirmation after a bruising hearing last week where Republican senators tried to label her as an extreme liberal judge who has been soft on crime in certain rulings. For many, the elevation of Brown Jackson, who will replace Stephen Breyer (Hon.’95), the justice she once clerked for, is more than historic—it is long overdue, finally giving a voice to Black women everywhere on the highest court in the land.

One could make the argument that no one in the NFL is “overpaid,” given the incredible physical rigors of the game. The force involved in a single hit in an NFL game is roughly equivalent to crashing a car into a wall at 30 mph, meaning that an afternoon of football is not unlike buying a beater and spending three hours crashing it into a wall a dozen or so times. But, the physical toll on the body is just a small part of an NFL contract. When push comes to shove, no matter how hard the job, you’re getting paid for your performance.
And that can make it very hard to find the right numbers to put in each of those contracts. An NFL general manager is constantly trying to navigate a tapestry of wildly different offensive and defensive systems across the league, judging whether a pro bowler on another team will still be that productive when surrounded by different teammates and while running different plays. And at the end of the day, GMs frequently whiff — signing declining or subpar players to massive deals they soon discover were a terrible mistake.
So, here’s a look at the most overpaid players in NFL history: Some were draft busts; some had a good year, got paid and then crashed, and others couldn’t avoid injury in order to really take off.
Last updated: Jan. 30, 2020
Joey Harrington came out of college ready to make an impact. The smiling Oregon Duck seemed to perpetually be filled with optimism and ability, eager for a chance to prove himself. What a difference four years with the Detroit Lions can make. Over the course of four seasons, Lions fans watched as their purported savior failed to ever complete more than 57% of his passes in a season and throw 62 interceptions to just 60 touchdowns — all on a Lions team that went 18-37 with him under center. So if you take those stats into consideration, that means the third overall pick in the 2002 NFL draft wound up earning roughly $387,000 per interception, as he made $24 million over four seasons.
Granted, you might be able to populate this entire list solely with Lions quarterbacks, but Scott Mitchell’s epic failure as a quarterback can’t be overlooked. Sure, you can’t fully discount his magical 1995 season when he threw for 4,338 yards. But once you remember he was surrounded by elite talent — including hall of fame running back Barry Sanders — it should be clear why Lions fans have mostly spent the last two decades wondering how good that squad could have been with an actual quarterback.
Mitchell’s passing numbers alone don’t tell the whole story. He was brought in on a three-year, $11 million contract to help take the Lions to the next level, but he never made the Lions into a contender. Excluding 1995, Mitchell would throw 42 picks in the other three years where he was the starter to just 46 touchdowns despite having targets that included Herman Moore. All of this made his eventual appearance on “The Biggest Loser” something of a cruel irony for Lions fans.
Daunte Culpepper certainly had times where he looked like one of the all-time greats. Following an epic 2004 season where he threw for over 4,700 yards and was one touchdown short of 40 on the year, Culpepper signed a 10-year, $102 million extension with the Vikings.
At the time, Minnesota clearly felt it wanted Culpepper to be a Viking for his entire career. One year later, Minnesota had changed its mind. After an injury-plagued 2005 campaign, Culpepper was traded to Miami where he started just four games in 2006. Ultimately, Culpepper threw for 4,700 yards in 2004… and just 5,555 over the course of the final five years of his career.
When will people learn? Just because a backup looks pretty good playing under Bill Belichick doesn’t mean they’re going to replicate that anywhere else. In fact, it’s hard to look at the rather stark difference between Matt Cassel’s stats on and off the Patriots without wondering just how good Tom Brady might have been had he been drafted by another team.
When Brady suffered a season-ending ACL tear in the first quarter of the first game of the 2008 season, Cassel took over the same Patriots team that had gone undefeated in the regular season a year earlier and led them to a 10-5 record. Cassel then parlayed that impressive performance into a four-year, $46 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. Unfortunately, Belichick and the rest of the Patriots stayed in New England and the Chiefs went 4-11 in Cassel’s first year as a starter. Kansas City was ultimately 19-28 when Cassel was a starter, which is not what they signed up for at over $11 million a season.
Like former USC quarterback Matt Cassel, other handsome USC quarterbacks have faced a rude awakening when they landed in the NFL. Take Mark Sanchez, for instance. After a wildly successful career at USC, he was drafted fifth overall by the New York Jets — who traded up to get a shot at him — and signed a five-year contract that included $28 million in guaranteed money, over $60 million should he hit all his incentives. His deal represented the richest contract in Jets history at the time. However, all his four seasons with the Jets really accomplished was making him better remembered for the “butt fumble” than for his time at USC.
There are three basic ways to become an overpaid player in the NFL. The first is to be a draft bust who signs a hefty deal before anyone actually sees them play in the NFL, the second is to be excellent but suffer an injury and the last is to be pretty good for a while and then just lose it, either due to age or simply losing your ability. Javon Walker is an example of the third, after building a reputation with the Green Bay Packers, he signed a six-year, $55 million deal with the Oakland Raiders in 2008. Walker, though, would only last two seasons in the Bay — catching just 15 passes over seven starts in 2008 and catching no passes across just three games in 2009.

Even among the many truly legendary NFL busts to come out of the NFL draft, Ryan Leaf’s story remains legendary. Leaf and Peyton Manning entered the 1998 draft virtually neck-and-neck for the first overall pick in the eyes of many analysts. Indianapolis ultimately went with Manning first overall, leaving the poor San Diego Chargers to draft Leaf with the second pick and sign him to a four-year, $31.25 million deal that included an $11.25 million signing bonus that was a record at the time.
Leaf, though, stank. Right from the start. He completed less than half his pass attempts in 1998, didn’t see a game in 1999 and was out of the NFL by the end of the 2001 season. Leaf’s career stats demonstrate how he would have been overpaid at almost any price: a 4-17 record as a starter with 48.4% completion and 14 touchdowns to 36 interceptions. And if you’re a Chargers fan, do yourself a favor and don’t compare that to Manning’s numbers.
Roy Williams was a disaster in Dallas. Not the defensive back with five Pro Bowl appearances, but rather the wide receiver who signed an extension with the Dallas Cowboys after the team traded four draft picks for him in 2008. Williams — the only one of the three wide receivers the Lions took in consecutive first rounds who wasn’t a complete disaster — was a solid player on a bad team up to that point. However, after signing the five-year, $45 million extension with Dallas, Williams appeared to lose his mojo. He played just three of those five years, never catching more than 40 passes in a single season.
As previously mentioned, Roy Williams was just one of three wide receivers taken in the first round by the Lions in four years. So, while the old adage of “if at first you don’t succeed” has its place, the “try, try again” part was an abject failure for the Lions. Charles Rogers, for instance, was the Michigan State standout who the Lions took in 2002 but had the misfortune of breaking his collarbone five weeks into his first season. Then again in the first game of the next one.
All told, Rogers never really earned much of his six-year, $55 million rookie contract. In fact, he wound up having to pay back $8.5 million of his $14.2 million signing bonus.
Albert Haynesworth gained notoriety for being an absolute beast in the middle of the D-line during his time as a Tennessee Titan. Well, that and stomping on a guy’s face. The astonishing physical specimen played so well that Washington’s professional football team saw fit to offer him a seven-year, $100 million deal after he hit free agency following the 2008 season. Oops. Haynesworth would last just two seasons in Washington, proving one of the biggest free-agent busts of all time.
JaMarcus Russell is yet another example of how a rookie with a successful college career used to be able to sign a huge rookie deal prior to anyone being able to confirm whether they’re actually any good at the next level or not. And the six-year, $68 million deal he signed with the Raiders in 2007 — which included $39 million in guaranteed money — was dubbed the worst contract in NFL history by ESPN’s Darren Rovell back in 2012. In fact, many believe it played a big role in motivating owners to fight for a shift to a rookie contract scale to limit the size of a player’s first deal.
If you paid for a case of beer and only got 12 beers, you would probably be pretty cheesed off. Well, the Case that the Denver Broncos bought for $36 million over two years also appears to be a few beers short. Keenum was impressive as a starter in Minnesota in 2017, parlaying his 11-3 record into the big deal with the Broncos. However, his 2018 season — in which he threw 18 touchdowns to 15 interceptions while Denver limped to a 6-10 record — made Keenum look like he’s making way too much for what he’s producing on the field.
Jay Cutler has become something of a pop culture phenomenon in his own right, from the “smoking Jay Cutler” memes to his marriage to reality television star Kristin Cavallari. But, prior to that, he was the guy Sportscasting dubbed the “most overpaid player in NFL history” in 2017.
A classic example of how being an NFL quarterback is more about not doing bad things than it is about doing good things, Cutler had a cannon for an arm and was really fast for a quarterback. Unfortunately, he just couldn’t stop turning the ball over and ultimately made the Chicago Bears deeply regret the seven-year, $126 million contract he signed with them in 2014.
There’s a certain segment of football fans from mid-Michigan who dearly, dearly love Tony Mandarich. He was an All-American at Michigan State, helping the team win the 1987 Big Ten title. Then, he was selected second overall by the Green Bay Packers, leaving the Detroit Lions to select Oklahoma State running back Barry Sanders — who would become the franchise’s most beloved player of all time by a wide margin — with the next pick.
That said, there’s likely an inverse segment of Wisconsin football fans who had to watch Mandarich beat up on the Badgers in college before becoming the worst draft pick in Packers history. And while Mandarich’s four-year, $4.4 million rookie contract seems small by today’s standard, it was pretty big relative to deals at the time. Regardless, it was way too much for a guy who is still known as one of the NFL draft’s biggest busts.
The obsession with “the Bos” was nationwide in the late 1980s, with the big linebacker making headlines for his outsized hits and his outsized personality. And when the Seattle Seahawks drafted him in the supplemental draft, the team then signed him to what was the biggest rookie contract in league history at the time — $11 million over 10 years. That was optimistic, to say the least, as Bosworth was out of the NFL before the end of his third year.
Another guy who experienced an incredible run at USC only to discover the game was a lot harder when you weren’t spending your time beating up on Pac 10 powder puffs is Matt Leinart. He was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in 2006 with the 10th overall pick and then signed a six-year contract worth as much as $50.8 million. Leinart, though, would start just 16 games across two seasons and finished his career with 21 interceptions to just 15 touchdowns.
For the majority of his 12-year NFL career, Neil O’Donnell was usually a pretty solid asset on a team. He would ultimately throw for over 20,000 yards and 120 touchdowns to just 68 picks on this career. However, while O’Donnell wasn’t necessarily overpaid for the entirety of his time in the NFL, it’s hard to argue that he wasn’t an outright disaster for the New York Jets. The team inked O’Donnell to a five-year, $25 million deal in 1996, but he would only be on the team for two of those years. The Jets lost all six games he started that season and didn’t fare a lot better in 1997, ultimately running O’Donnell out of town.
Cleary, “Neon Deion” was not overpaid for the majority of his career. For many years, he was utterly dominant — redefining his position and leaving offenses scrambling to figure out how to run their offense without ever throwing in his direction. However, “Neon Deion” looked a little more like “Neolithic Deion” during his final contract, a seven-year, $56 million deal with the Washington football team he signed at age 33. Deion would play just one season there before his (first) retirement.
The Kerry Collins who started for the New York Giants across five seasons had the look of the sort of solid if unspectacular quarterback a team could build around. That’s why the Oakland Raiders were ready to sign him to a three-year, $12 million deal to anchor their franchise in 2004. The Kerry Collins that started for Oakland, however, made that deal look laughable. The Raiders went 7-21 in games he started over the next two seasons as he threw 32 interceptions and was off the team before the final year of his deal.
In the case of almost every other player here, the degree to which they’re responsible for being overpaid is dubious. Separating individual statistics from the quality of the rest of the team is especially difficult in football. Unless you’re the kicker — then it’s pretty easy to see just how many kicks you miss.
And this is one “idiot kicker” who didn’t have anywhere to hide. At least not after he signed with Dallas — a three-year deal with the opportunity to be worth as much as $6 million — after his comments about Peyton Manning’s lack of leadership and a big missed kick in the playoffs resulted in his ouster from the Colts. Of course, if Manning’s lack of leadership was an issue in Indy, whoever was playing quarterback in Dallas during Vanderjagt’s tenure must have just been really bad: Vanderjagt went 13 for 18 for field goals as a Cowboy en route to getting midway through his first season.
Jeff George, the journeyman quarterback of the two first names, spent quite a while in the NFL. His career spanned five teams over 12 seasons and included some solid seasons, certainly playing better than his 47-78 record as a starter would indicate. That’s why legendary head coach Marty Schottenheimer ultimately pulled the trigger on a four-year, $14 million deal to sign a 32-year-old George to back up starter Brad Johnson.
When you decide to pay a veteran like George that much money to be a backup, you’re mostly looking for someone who can show poise and consistency. George mustered neither. In two seasons with Washington, he managed to throw nine interceptions in just eight games and was retired soon after.
David Boston was just a season removed from a sparkling 2001 campaign with the Cardinals that produced 98 catches for a league-leading 1,598 yards when he signed a massive seven-year, $47 million deal with the San Diego Chargers. And, if Boston had replicated those numbers, it might have wound up being a decent deal. Unfortunately for all parties involved, Boston produced a decidedly unimpressive 880 receiving yards in his first season with the Chargers, missed his second with a knee injury and ended up getting traded to the Dolphins before his third.
Jerry Porter was arguably underpaid during his tenure with the Raiders. However, his performance there helped him land a six-year, $30 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars where he definitely reversed the trend. Porter produced a paltry 11 catches in his single season with the Jaguars, resulting in him being released just one year into the deal.
Jeff Garcia was a pretty good quarterback in his day. After all, he went to three Pro Bowls during his five years on the San Francisco 49ers. Thus, Garcia signed a four-year, $25 million deal in 2004 to be the new starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. Of course, there may be no phrase in human history that’s proven a more consistent harbinger of doom than “new starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns,” and Garcia did not buck the trend. He ended up starting just 10 games for the Browns, throwing nine interceptions across seven losses.
Boy, Washington’s professional football team is sure on here… a lot. And there’s at least one more drastically oversized contract left to discuss, that of quarterback Donovan McNabb. While McNabb clearly wasn’t overpaid in Philadelphia — the team went to four-straight NFC title games while he was there — the five-year, $78 million extension he signed with Washington at age 33 is a different story. Any amount of statistical analysis is unnecessary in the face of the fact that he was benched in his first year there — for Rex Grossman.
