No Interruptions Day (December 31st)

Image
Quick facts When is it? Every December 31st Tagged as Hobbies & Activities What's the hashtag? #NoInterruptionsDay Have we missed something? Is there anything more irritating than to be neck-deep in a project, only to be subjected to countless interruptions by friends, family, and well-meaning co-workers? We know it can drive us absolutely nuts, and it always interrupts our workflow and makes our tasks take far longer than is necessary. When a 5-minute interruption becomes 12, we’ve suddenly lost a whole hour of productivity out of our day. No Interruptions Day reminds us that the best way to get a solid day of work done is with no interruptions and hopefully will serve as a reminder of those we share our lives with as well. History of No Interruptions Day No Interruptions Day arose in response to a world where everywhere we go information and noise are blasted at us from every angle. Visually the world is full of flashing screens and pop-ups and outland...

NFL Lions vs Cowboys Same Game Parlay picks at +1248 odds

Week 17 of the 2023 NFL season continues with a Saturday night battle between the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys. Both teams will be going all out even though they have clinched spots in the playoffs. Detroit is already the NFC North champion but hopes to stay in contention for the #1 seed. Dallas is also in #1 seed range and remains in the hunt with the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East. Here is my Same Game Parlay for the festivities, which kick off at 8:15 pm ET on ABC and ESPN. Also be sure to check out our full Lions vs Cowboys predictions . Cowboys -6.5 alternate spread (+114) Brandin Cooks to record 50+ receiving yards (+154) Sam LaPorta to score a touchdown (+145)   Parlay odds: +1248   Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is some of the plan here, as Cowboys receiver Brandin Cooks racking up plenty of receiving yards would obviously work well with a big win by Dallas. At the same...

NHL Parlay Picks & Predictions for Wednesday at +867 Odds, 12/27

After a full day off of hockey yesterday, today we’re treated to a fantastic 14- Game slate containing some rather interesting matchups. As I’ve been doing time and time again this season, I’m back with some of my top NHL parlay picks for today’s hockey schedule. On top of that, as always, we’ve got other NHL picks for each of today’s contests too. Rangers -1.5 (+125) Bruins vs Sabres under 6 (+100) Predators ML (+115) NHL parlay odds: +867 New York Rangers -1.5 vs Washington Capitals After going through a rough stretch of losing 3 times in the span of 4 games, the Rangers have since won 3 of their last 4, including against the Eastern’s other top dogs in the Bruins and Maple Leafs. Their opponent today is much, much less intimidating than those 2 foes, with the Capitals sporting a -9-goal differential up to this point despite being a solid 17-9. This is likely due to Washington’s lack of scoring offensively (2.4 goals per game, 30th in NHL). New York is quite potent on off...

Historic NBA records on Christmas day

The NBA will celebrate Christmas 2022 with games between the Philadelphia 76ers vs. New York Knicks , Los Angeles Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks , Milwaukee Bucks vs. Boston Celtics , Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors, and Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets . Here are some historic NBA record s set during Christmas Game s, which debuted in 1947. Most points scored Bernard King was an NBA legend after a 14-year career, but his best years were spent with the New York Knicks, as he was named an All-Star in three of the four seasons he spent there. During the 1984 season, the Knickerbockers faced the then-New Jersey Nets, and the Hall of Famer set the record for points in a Christmas game after scoring 60 . The small forward made 19 of his 30 shots and made 22 of 26 free throws.

Erik ten Hag explains what went wrong for Man Utd against West Ham

Image
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag admits his side "switched off" as they slumped to a devastating 2-0 defeat to West Ham United on Saturday. Late goals from Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus provided a spark to a Game which was otherwise flat and saw West Ham leapfrog United in the Premier League table. After the game, Ten Hag insisted he was generally satisfied with the performance and blamed a lapse in concentration for his side's downfall. "I think we had a solid performance," he told TNT Sports . "I think we controlled the Game . We performed very solid, controlling the Game in possession. "We didn't give chances away in transition, but we have to score. We had the opportunities and we didn't do it, and then one moment of switching off, we conceded the goal." Ten Hag wanted more from his side / Sebastian Frej/MB Media/GettyImages Echoing the thoughts of left-back Luke Shaw, Ten Hag admitted confidence is proving to be a problem f...

How many goals has Harry Kane scored for Bayern Munich this season?

Harry Kane is lighting up the Bundesliga in his first season in Germany. The former Tottenham Hotspur captain has settled into life at Bayern Munich by keeping his fine goalscoring form alive. Ahead of the winter break in the Bundesliga, Bayern went into Wednesday night’s match against Wolfsburg needing to win to keep the pressure on Bayer Leverkusen, who lead the way under head coach Xabi Alonso. Jamal Musiala gave the Bavarian side the lead, scoring in the 33rd minute, and Kane found the net just 10 minutes later with a superb strike from 25 yards that flew into the top corner, to extend Bayern’s lead before the break. Wolfsburg pulled a goal back but Bayern held out to take all three points in their last Game of the year and are four points off Leverkusen at the top and have a Game in hand.

New Dinosaur Discovery: “Zul, the Destroyer” Sported teггіfуіпɡ Tail weарoп

Image
In the world of paleontology, there are remarkable discoveries that captivate the imagination and shed light on the іпсгedіЬɩe diversity of prehistoric creatures. One such discovery is the fossil of Zul, a dinosaur whose “destroyer’s legs” and a foгmіdаЬɩe tail weарoп have left scientists and enthusiasts alike in awe. Zul, whose name is derived from the local term for “giant,” lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 75 million years ago. This сoɩoѕѕаɩ dinosaur belongs to a group known as the abelisaurids, which were characterized by their short, stocky bodies and powerful limbs. Zul’s legs were particularly robust, earning it the moniker “destroyer’s legs” due to their рoteпtіаɩ for i NFL icting tгemeпdoᴜѕ dаmаɡe. The sheer size and strength of these legs would have made Zul a foгmіdаЬɩe ргedаtoг in its ecosystem. What truly sets Zul apart, however, is its tail. The recently ᴜпeагtһed fossil reveals a tail weарoп that was nothing short of teггіfуіпɡ . The tail...

Man Utd director reveals what fans can expect in January transfer window

Image
Manchester United Football director John Murtough has warned fans not to expect too much during the January transfer window . United are under pressure to improve in the winter window following a difficult start to the season which has seen them record a negative goal difference after 17 Premier League games, finish bottom of their Champions League group and struggle for goals - only five teams in England's top flight have managed fewer than their return of 18, with all five in the current bottom six. However, fans expecting significant moves this winter may be disappointed as Murtough told a Fans' Forum that the focus will be on finding moves for fringe players. "Looking ahead to the January transfer window, we are not expecting it to be particularly busy," he said. "There will always be the possibility of deals around the edges of the squad, particularly in terms of finding opportunities for players who are not playing as much football as they would like. ...

Canadiens vs Jets Picks, Predictions & Odds Tonight - NHL

The Winnipeg Jets are a huge home-ice favorite in the NHL odds against the visiting Montreal Canadiens tonight. Winnipeg is cruising along on an 11-4 heater, and No. 1 goalie Connor Hellebuyck is building a Vezina Trophy case along the way. He’s allowed two goals or fewer in 10 consecutive starts, and the Jets are now two points back of the Colorado Avalanche in the Central Division with two games in hand. Montreal brings a 13-13-4 record to the ‘Peg, and they’ve scored the third-fewest goals with the second-worst scoring differential in the Eastern Conference. I anticipate the Canadiens to struggle to score again. Here are my free NHL picks for the Canadiens vs. Jets showdown on Monday, December 18. Canadiens vs Jets odds Canadiens vs Jets predictions The Montreal Canadiens don’t have a dangerous collection of skaters jumping the boards, and their expected goals per 60 minutes drops from a respectable 3.32 at home to a 29th-ranked 2.67 mark ...
