Miami Dolphins Mock Draft 2023

/14 Comments/in , /by

For another year, it won’t be that difficult to put together a Miami Dolphins mock draft. The Miami Dolphins turn to the 2023 NFL Draft to re-tool and reload for the 2023 NFL Season. 

However, as the Dolphins organization looks forward to the 2023 season, the team still has some way to become a consistent playoff team and hopeful Super Bowl winner. General Manager Chris Grier brought in esteemed defensive coordinator Vic Fangio to improve their struggling passing defense. Furthermore, new names were brought in to shore up their biggest needs in free agency. 

Before the midseason trade deadline, the Miami Dolphins acquired edge rusher Bradley Chubb from the Denver Broncos, and before the start of Free Agency they traded pick 72 and Hunter Long to the Los Angeles Rams for Jalen Ramsey, a three-time All-Pro cornerback. Also, they inked a deal with David Long Jr. To help build depth in the linebacker position 

The Miami Dolphins addressed major needs through trades, free agency acquisitions and re-signing key players. While doing that, the team will need to fill holes and depth with four picks in the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft.

Round 2, Pick 63– Zach Charbonnet RB, UCLA

*Projected Trade with Kansas City, Kansas City Trades Pick 63, Pick 95 and Pick 122 for Pick 52, Pick 238 and EDGE Emmanuel Ogbah*

In this Miami Dolphins 2023 Mock Draft, I have the Dolphins trading back to get more picks to increase their roster depth and save $11.19 million by trading away Emmanuel Ogbah. The PFF mock draft machine accepted the trade.

Former Michigan and UCLA alum Zach Charbonnet packs a punch in the running game. Charbonnet is a physical runner and excels at running between the tackles and in the outside zone scheme. He’s tough to bring down with the first hit and is a pinball bouncing off of defenders. The Bruin running back waits for holes to open in the run game and utilizes his vision on his cuts. 

Charbonnet can be a true three down back for the Miami Dolphin as a workhorse running back, he’s serviceable catching passes out of the backfield. The only concern is his breakaway speed. He’s not as fast as current Dolphins Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson but makes it up by breaking tackles and having the second highest rushing yards over expected (+1.34) in the 2023 NFL Draft class.

 

The Dolphins don’t have any running backs contracted through the 2024 season and selecting Zach Charbonnet with their first pick in this 2023 Miami Dolphins Mock draft paves the way for their RB of the future.

Round 3, Pick 84- Tucker Kraft TE, South Dakota State

Mike Gesicki and Hunter Long are no longer Dolphins which leaves the Dolphins tight end room with Durham Smythe, Tanner Connor, and free agent pickup Eric Saubert. Enter in 6-foot-5, 255 pound tight end Tucker Kraft in this Miami Dolphins 2023 Mock Draft, who Lance Zierlen comps to Pat Freiermuth.

The Jack Rabbit alum is versatile, he can play in-line, from the slot and even out wide. He’s made really tough contested catches by using his massive frame and catches with soft hands to reel in passes. Kraft runs very well and is tough to bring down after the catch racking up extra yards. While Kraft is an average route runner, he excels on short routes to gain YAC. He can get off the line quickly in the tight end alignment and has been utilized as a seam threat over the middle.  

Furthermore the athletic tight end was a major contributor to the Jack Rabbit running game. Kraft is well versed as a run blocker and contains a powerful lower body and strong hands to sustain blocks out wide and to the second level. He will need to lower his pad level in the passing game as a blocker and that will be cleaned up with coaching. The SDSU product should see the field early on due to his run blocking to help spring up a middling Dolphins run game. 

While Kraft may be from the FCS and hasn’t played better competition, his skillset and traits on film have shown the ability to succeed at the next level. Pair this with his production and athletic frame, he could become the next Dallas Goedert, or as head coach Mike McDaniel has worked with in the past, the next George Kittle. Not to mention, Head Coach Mike McDaniel met with Kraft at the combine.

Round 3, Pick 95- Tyler Steen OL, Alabama

Count on Miami Dolphins General Manager to draft an Alabama prospect. Alabama is one of the most popular schools that the Dolphins draft out of, with five selections since the 2016 draft. I project in thie Miami Dolphins 2023 Mock Draft for Chris Grier to select Alabama OL Tyler Steen. Steen, a Miami native, stands at 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds. Tyler Steen went to Vanderbilt for three seasons and transferred to Alabama for his senior year and started as a LT. 
 
As a pass protecter the Crimson Tide product is able to get out of his stance at the first step and shows lateral agility making him a scheme fit in a zone blocking team. For as big as Steen is, he attacks pass rushers rather than defending the QB to wash them out of the play. With his quick feet he’s able to adjust to pass rushers bends and resets his feet. However, Steen will need to clean up his technique and leverage to be more consistent against NFL opponents. 

In the run game, the Miami native utilizes his athletic frame to attack blockers and get up to the second level. Alabama ran a lot of backside runs where Steen was a cut blocker to seal off backside defenders from making a play. He’ll need to shore up his anchor and technique in the run game, focusing on zone blocks rather than focusing on a single player. 

At some point in the future, Steen will become a starting Left Tackle; however, Miami needs help at the Left Guard position and Steen projects to do well there early on, as he showed at the Senior Bowl. Especially if he is taken by the Dolphins and given a chance to develop alongside future hall of famer Terron Armstead.

Round 4 Pick 144- YaYa Diaby DL,/EDGE Lousiville  

YaYa Diaby stands at 6-foot-3 as a potential EDGE/OLB that provides rotational depth to a team’s pass rusher group.  
 
Diaby’s quick get off suggest he would be sutied to play as an EDGE in a 4-3 scheme and an OLB in a 3-4 scheme. Diaby’s is able to generate pressure through one moce and one move only, his bull rush. He displays his power to generate displacement, strength to shed blocks and pursuing the ball carrier.   

Diaby is a straight line rusher and needs to learn several different moves in his arsenal, pressure needs to be schemed up for him and will benefit learning from a solid group of pass rushers. 

He’s able to anchor his lower body to shed and climb blocks in the run game but needs for upper body strength to disengage offensive lineman and make the tackle against running backs on lateral runs.

Round 6, Pick 197- Ronnie Bell WR, Michigan 

Ronnie Bell is a tough, hard nosed wide receiver that makes tough contested catches with a frame of 5-foot-11 and 192 pounds. He plays bigger than his frame and playing in a run-oriented offense, Bell can do the dirty work in the run game. 
 
The Michigan Wolverines product is a former basketball player, and it serves him well releasing off the line of scrimmage, getting into his breaks and creating separation at the stem of his route. It allows him to catch the ball with ease. Bell has strong hands that helps him at the catch point. Bell is a pretty versatile receiver in terms of where he has lined up in college, he’s been in the slot, out wide and used on sweeps and motions.

Bell doesn’t have the speed like the rest of the Dolphins have on offense, he is a good route runner who creates separation which works well in a timing-based offense. He reminds me of a possession style wide receiver and someone that can come big on third and short plays. Surprisingly, Bell is a YAC monster, he fights for every yard against defenders and has experience returning kicks on special teams. 

In this Miami Dolphins Mock draft, the 2023 edition, Bell projects as a “big slot” later down the line in his career. Although Michigan manufactured his touches he was a reliable chain mover. He will need to add more play strength against physical defenders in the NFL and to help out in the run game.

Rediscovering the Adrenaline Rush of Fishing Spears and Polespears in Extreme Sports

/1 Comment/in , /by

Extreme sports have always been popular among people seeking adrenaline and a sense of adventure. The world of extreme sports has grown exponentially in recent years, with more and more athletes and thrill-seekers pushing themselves to new limits and exploring new avenues for excitement. Although many may associate extreme sports with high-flying activities like base jumping or snowboarding, spearfishing is a different type of extreme sport that has been making a resurgence in recent years.

Spearfishing is an ancient practice that involves hunting fish underwater using a spear or pole. While it may not be as well-known as other extreme sports, it offers a unique combination of hunting and free diving that can be incredibly thrilling. As modern technology has advanced, so too has spearfishing, with new tools and techniques making it more accessible than ever before. One such example is pole spears, which have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility.

This blog post will delve deeper into spearfishing and explore its history, the skills and techniques involved, and the gear required. We’ll also look at some modernizations that have made spearfishing more accessible and safer, including the use of technology and the development of specialized equipment. If you are interested in learning more about spearfishing,, make sure to check out Neptonics academy.

Whether you’re a seasoned spearfisher or simply interested in learning more about this exciting and challenging sport, this post will provide an in-depth look at spearfishing and why it’s gaining popularity as a modern extreme sport.

 

A Brief History of Spearfishing:

Although spearfishing may not have the name recognition of other extreme sports, it has a fascinating history predating most modern athletic endeavors. Evidence of spearfishing dates back more than 16,000 years, as evidenced by ancient cave paintings and recovered artifacts. The aboriginal people of Australia, native Hawaiians, and Inuits of the Arctic are among some of the earliest known spearfishers.

Early spearfishing primarily involved free-diving, where breath-holding divers would plunge to depths of up to 100 feet to skewer their prey with handheld spears. In this form, spearfishing was a test of physical strength and endurance and a vital survival skill.

The Evolution of Spearfishing Gear:

Over time, spearfishing techniques have evolved to increase efficiency and accommodate.

advancements in diving technology. The pole spear was one of these major advancements. It typically consists of a long fiberglass or aluminum pole with a rubber loop at one end and a sharpened spearpoint or replaceable spearhead at the other.

The rubber loop is pulled back by the diver and held in place with the same hand grasping the pole. Once the diver has their target within range, they release the loop, propelling the spear forward with incredible speed and accuracy. The pole spear simplified the spearfishing process and provided divers with an easier way to spearfish without the need to be exceptionally close to their prey.

As spearfishing continued to grow in popularity, innovations like the Hawaiian sling and speargun further propelled the sport forward. These modern pieces of spearfishing equipment have made the sport more accessible, resulting in its steady rise in popularity within the extreme sports community.

 

The Adrenaline Rush of Modern Spearfishing:

Much like the extreme sports it now shares the stage with, spearfishing elicits a thrill and adrenaline rush that keeps thrill-seekers returning for more. This is partly due to the inherent dangers of diving and hunting simultaneously.

Spearfishers must have an acute awareness of their surroundings underwater, including the potential hazards such as currents, sharp rocks, and the ever-present risk of running out of breath. Additionally, the fish they hunt can pose unique challenges, as larger or more aggressive species can put up a significant fight once speared.

For experienced spearfishers, it’s this combination of physical exertion, risk management, and hunting prowess that creates the ultimate adrenaline rush, something that’s hard to replicate in other sports.

 

The Social and Environmental Benefits of Spearfishing:

Amidst the thrills and spills of spearfishing, there are several social and environmental benefits that further justify its inclusion in the world of extreme sports.

1. Sustainable Fishing: Many spearfishers insist on the sustainability of their sport compared to other fishing methods. By targeting specific species and catching only what they intend to consume, spearfishers can greatly reduce the environmental impact and bycatch associated with other fishing methods.

2. Ocean Conservation: Spearfishing also promotes greater awareness and appreciation for the marine environment. Divers who spend time beneath the waves often form a deep connection to the ocean and its wildlife, leading to stronger advocacy for the protection and preservation of marine habitats.

3. Fitness and Wellbeing: The physical demands of spearfishing, including swimming, free diving, and hunting, provide a full-body workout for those who engage in the sport. Participants

often report improvements in cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and mental well-being, owing to the meditative aspects of freediving and the release of endorphins associated with an adrenaline rush.

4. Camaraderie: While spearfishing is often a solitary activity, it fosters a tight-knit community of like-minded individuals. The shared experiences of surviving the challenges of underwater hunting lead to strong bonds among spearfishers, and many form clubs or online groups to support and learn from one another.

 

Embracing the Extreme in Spearfishing:

Athletes and thrill-seekers looking to participate in extreme sports or simply add a new adventure to their lives can find excitement, challenge, and adrenaline in the world of spearfishing. With advancements in spearfishing gear, including the modernization of pole spears, and the various benefits associated with the sport, it’s no wonder that spearfishing is experiencing a resurgence in the extreme sports world.

However, new enthusiasts must take care to learn and respect the skills, physical demands, and potential risks associated with spearfishing before diving in. By receiving proper training, respecting the underwater environment, and understanding the equipment and techniques required for successful spearfishing, participants can experience the adrenaline rush that only this unique combination of hunting and diving can provide.

Are you ready to join the ranks of extreme sports aficionados and rediscover the ancient art of spearfishing? Dive in, and let the adrenaline surge with the ancient connection between man, ocean, and spear.

Tim Duncan: An Unparalleled Legacy of Success

/0 Comments/in , /by

On April 19th, 2021, one of the greatest basketball players of all time retired from the game. Tim Duncan was popularly known as “The Big Fundamental” for his consistent and reliable play on offense and defense. He was a loyal member of the San Antonio Spurs for 19 seasons. 13-time NBA All-Star, 5-time NBA Champion, 2-time NBA MVP… these are just some accolades that describe the unparalleled legacy of success that Tim Duncan left behind.

The Early Years 

Tim Duncan was born in Christiansted, St. Croix, on April 25th, 1976. Even at an early age, it was clear that he had a special talent for basketball. As a high school player in St. Croix, he was named U.S. Virgin Islands Player of the Year three times and led his high school team to two consecutive undefeated seasons. He went on to attend Wake Forest University, where he won ACC Player of the Year twice and was named Naismith College Basketball Player of the Year during his senior year. 

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Tim Duncan was an incredibly consistent player throughout his career and is considered one of the best power forwards ever to play in the NBA. He averaged 19 points, 10 rebounds, and three assists per game while shooting 50% from the field, an incredible achievement that gave him longevity in professional basketball. Duncan also won two MVP awards, made 15 All-Star appearances, and was named to 14 All-NBA teams. His numbers alone are enough to secure him a spot amongst the greatest players in the history of the NBA. 

A Dominant Presence on Both Offense & Defense

Tim Duncan is special because he was an effective presence in any given situation on the court. His unrivaled basketball IQ meant he could always be counted on to make the right decision with the ball in his hands. His court vision was remarkable; whether finding a cutting teammate or locating an open shooter in the corner, you could always count on him to make the right pass. This made him a walking triple-double threat no matter who his teammates were at any given time during his career.

 

There may never have been a better big-man defender on defense than Tim Duncan. His long arms and quick feet allowed him to guard anyone against point guards to power forwards with equal effectiveness. He had a knack for anticipating where opposing players were going with their moves and always seemed to be one step ahead of them at all times. His defensive presence was so strong that opposing teams often had to adjust their entire offensive schemes to beat him.

A Leader On & Off The Court

Tim Duncan’s leadership off the court has significantly impacted the odds on the San Antonio Spurs. He was always willing to mentor younger Spurs players both in practice and games. He always ensured they understood how important it is for everyone on the team to work together towards one goal. His teammates reveal that he would also frequently check up on them off the court by sending them motivational texts or inviting them over for dinner when they needed moral support about something outside of basketball.

 

In addition to being an incredible leader on and off the court, Tim Duncan also greatly impacted his community outside of basketball. He donated millions of dollars to local charities and founded several organizations dedicated to providing aid for those in need. One such initiative is Project 21, which provides educational opportunities for youth in underserved communities across San Antonio. 

 

His commitment to making San Antonio a better place extended far beyond sports, and he will always be remembered fondly by members of his community. 

Conclusion

Tim Duncan’s legacy will live forever in basketball lore, not just as one of the best players ever but also as one of its most respected ambassadors. His commitment to excellence both on and off the court set an example for generations after him and will likely never be matched again. So raise your glass or Lone Star beer (if you’re a true Spurs fan) to “The Big Fundamental” himself: Tim Duncan! A true legend among men!

Which NBA Players Have Been Spotted Gambling?

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Professional athletes have always had a hard time gambling. Not only is it frowned upon by people, but sports authorities also have stringent laws to be followed. As far as basketball players go, they’re allowed to bet on sports and online casino games. They are obviously restricted from wagering on games they’re a part of, but betting on other sports is fair and legal. They can also join the best online casino 2023 to wager on classic casino titles like blackjack and poker. 

Let’s take a look at gambling within the NBA and list down some of the most famous players that enjoy betting on sports and casino games. 

Background of NBA and Gambling 

Being one of the major sports in the USA, basketball has historically been a favorite for gamblers. It is so popular, in fact, that many of the best online casinos in New Zealand also offer chances to wager on NBA events. The experts at casinotop.co.nz list the reviews of the top online platforms to select the one you like. Head to the sports betting section and you’ll see NBA games listed for you to wager on.

Betting on basketball games is popular for many reasons. The matches are fast-paced and highly competitive. The players are celebrities that people root for. And each game can turn around thanks to a single player at times. For an NBA player who enjoys gambling, part of the charm is using their own knowledge of the game to win money. 

List of NBA Players Spotted Gambling 

Sports betting isn’t just for the fans. Many top online casinos in New Zealand and beyond also welcome professional players. As for gambling in physical casinos, the following are some of the most popular names in the sport. 

Michael Jordan

Not only is he the most famous basketball player of all time, but Michael Jordan is also among the greatest gamblers on this list. He has never had any addiction to betting but rather enjoyed the competitive nature of games like poker. Jordan is known to visit Atlantic City casinos quite often. He wagers so much that he’s alleged to have lost north of $100 million on a golf game. 

Charles Barkley

Charles is an avid gambler in Vegas casinos and has lost a whole lot of cash because of his favourite pastime. But even with around $15 million dollars lost, his passion for gambling hasn’t died. Another scandal Charles found himself in was when he didn’t pay a debt of some $400,000. He also allegedly lost $2.5 million in a single blackjack game. Still, the player became more careful about his gambling habits after the lawsuit, though, and still loves the activity. 

Antoine Walker

Antoine Walker is a good example of why you should gamble in moderation. Walker loved betting and would spend whole nights at casinos. His recklessness led to him owing millions of dollars to casinos by 2009. It ended with his career getting ended and his reputation going downhill. 

Allen Iverson

Another example of how gambling addiction gets the best of you is Allen Iverson. He was a rising star among basketball players of his time. However, his addiction to poker and blackjack led to significant financial loss. It got to a point where he had to live hand to mouth and lost his career. 

Charles Oakley

Charles Oakley is among the most tenacious basketball players who love casino gambling. He enjoys winning and hates to lose. His competitive side came through once when he pulled all his chips back from the table when about to lose. As a result, the player was banned from the casino. He also got into a fight with someone who owed him over $50 thousand. This happened during a preseason NBA game, so the NBA fined him for $10 thousand for this. 

JR Smith

Smith’s passion for gambling became evident when a suitcase filled with thousands of dollars was discovered by thieves. When asked by the authorities why he had so much cash, he told them it was his gambling money. Strange as that may sound, it shows just how much this basketball player loves to gamble. Like some of the others on this list, Smith has also lost a lot of money. Since he has always gambled within the regulations of the NBA, he hasn’t faced any resulting issues. 

Shaquille O’Neal

Shaq is famous not only for being a great NBA player but also for being an avid gambler. He loves casino games and stakes massive amounts of money on them sometimes. The legend once admitted to Jimmy Kimmel that his minimum bet starts from $100. He has also mentioned once betting $1 million on a dice roll which is nothing short of incredible. 

Seth Curry

Stephen Curry’s brother Seth plays for the Brooklyn Nets. Fans have seen him on multiple occasions at different Vegas and LA casinos. He finds casino games fun and has been playing them within NBA’s regulations for a long time. 

To Sum Up 

Just like normal people who love casino games, many NBA players also enjoy titles like poker, blackjack, and even slots. Betting is completely legal for a basketball player as long as it’s done within the limits set by the NBA. From the examples above it is obvious how many sport legends love to wager their money on games and sports alike. It is also easy to see how much of it can lead to the destruction of one’s career and personal life. So, if your favorite basketball player inspires you to try gambling, be sure to go slow and enjoy the activity. 

Fun Games You Will Enjoy Playing For Sure

/9 Comments/in , /by

Going out and seeing one’s friends is fun, sure. However, sometimes it’s nice to stay at home and play games. Playing games has attracted a lot of stigma with many media pundits declaring that young people are addicted to video games and that they cause irreversible harm but there is no real evidence for this, scientifically or otherwise. If you are somebody who’s interested in spending their spare time playing games then you need to conduct extensive research and find the ones that interest you most; you have a lot of different games to choose from so find the ones that are right for you. Rather than telling you the names of specific games this post will tell you about the categories you need to know about most of all:

 

 

Casino Games

You can’t understate the immense entertainment casino games can provide. More people than ever are turning to them mainly because of the cost of living crisis which is leaving many households short on money. Why are people turning to casino games in times of hardship you ask? The answer is simple really: Because they give people the opportunity to make themselves huge amounts of money in as little as a few minutes. Finding fun online casinos has never been easier thanks to their abundance online. Before using a site you should spend some time researching it and reading its reviews. Until you have read a website’s reviews you really know nothing about it. A casino’s reviews can help you to decide whether or not it is trustworthy and whether you should play on it. If you do plan on reading reviews remember that it’s not uncommon for websites to pay for fake reviews nowadays. You can spot fake reviews quite easily, however.

Roleplaying

Roleplaying isn’t as popular today as it once was. The vast majority of existing roleplay servers are voice-based whereas in the past they were heavy-text RP servers. One game that had hundreds of roleplay servers at its peak was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The game’s online modification SA: MP was home to some of the best roleplay servers in the history of roleplaying. One of these was LS: RP or Los Santos Roleplay. LS: RP had thousands of players even just a few years ago. Sadly text-based roleplaying is dying out and the last bastions of it are on GTA: V and RDR: 2 online servers. If voice-based roleplaying interests you however then there are lots of different servers and games for you to choose from.

MMORPGs

MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games) is a category of roleplaying games different to the ones mentioned above. The roleplaying games referenced above tend more often than not to be focused on criminality whereas MMORPG games lean more toward the fantasy genre. These games are more popular today than ever before. One game example is World of Warcraft. Another is RuneScape. If you plan on playing this category of the game then it’s a good idea to do your research first. Some of them can be very complicated and are not suited to amateur gamers with no experience. Individuals interested in taking them up might also want to spend some time researching loot accumulation. The main purpose of most of these games is to build wealth.

FPS

FPS stands for a first-person shooter. FPS games are extremely popular right now with console and PC gamers. One of the good things about FPS console games is that you can cross-console play with your friends now. In other words, PlayStation owners can play games with Xbox owners. If you are intending on getting involved in FPS gaming then you should know that it is very competitive. Unless you have a lot of experience and expertise you’ll likely get decimated in each match you play. It is therefore important for you to conduct extensive research and practice before you play. Getting beaten in every single game can be boring and annoying. By practising before playing you will be able to build your expertise and knowledge of the games you are interested in up, making it easier for you to defeat your opponents and earn XP which you can then use to level up.

 

E-sports

A type of gaming (rather than a category) that you need to know about is e-sports. E-sports is essentially just competitive gaming and as such, any category of game can be an e-sports game. If you are interested in e-sports then you need to be a very skilled and talented gamer. Individuals with no experience can’t become professional gamers. Bear in mind that if you are planning on becoming an e-sports gamer you’ll likely need very good equipment too. To get started you need to join an existing team. E-sports gamers earn a fortune from the games that they play. You can earn millions of dollars per year if you become good enough. You can also make money by betting on the outcomes of the games that you are participating in or watching. Give e-sports a look if you want to make money and have fun.

Sports Games

Sports games are very popular right now though not as popular as they once were. Perhaps the most popular franchise in the sports gaming industry is Fifa. There are many other similar games and franchises but Fifa consistently appears at the top of ranking guides and captures the hearts of people from all over the world, not just countries where football (or soccer) is played. NBA is another popular franchise, especially with people in the United States. If you want to take up either of these games then again before you play online you’ll need to do your research so that you can improve your skills and learn everything there is for you to know. Until you are an expert making any meaningful strides or improving your characters won’t be possible. Sports games are a lot of fun so be sure to check them out if you are a fan.

Gaming can be a good way of passing time. At the same time, it can be very frustrating. Unless you find a category of game that interests you in all likelihood you’ll spend most of your time gaming annoyed rather than having fun. Take this post’s advice and check out the categories listed here.

 

Top Ways Sports Enthusiasts Can Enjoy Exciting Online Games

/0 Comments/in , /by

If you are a sports enthusiast, then you can turn your hobby into a profitable side hustle. Sports betting is one of the best ways of making money online. However, there are other types of gambling that you can take up besides sports betting.

Internet casinos are more popular than ever. If you regularly place bets, then why not give online casino gaming a go too? Casino games can be just as lucrative as betting sites.

This post will explore internet casino games in more detail, telling you about four that you should consider trying out.

Progressive Slots

Out of all of the casino games, progressive slots are probably the most popular. There are many different sites offering this kind of game. If you want to give progressive slots a go, then you need to find the site that’s offering the best odds. As seen on this page, casinos tend to publish odds for all to see, so finding out what a game’s odds are should not be difficult. If you cannot find information regarding your chosen game’s odds, reach out to the casino hosting it and ask them directly.

Roulette

Roulette is another of the web’s most popular casino games. The reason for this is that you can earn a lot of money from roulette. However, the game is a game of pure chance, nothing more. Unlike poker, a game that will be covered next, you cannot win at roulette by studying and learning about the game. One good thing about roulette is that you can put money on colors, and as long as you cover zero, then you can still earn yourself a handsome profit. Again, find a roulette client that has favorable odds.

Poker

Poker is an immensely popular game. It’s played online and in person. The best way to play it online is in a live lounge. There are literally thousands of live lounges online for you to participate in. Ideally, you should find one that has lots of active players. The more players, the more money you can win. Poker tournaments can be a good way of making money, too. However,  before you start playing poker with other people, you need to study and research the game. If you are not confident in your abilities as a poker player, then you will probably get beaten by somebody who is.

Blackjack

Blackjack is a really fun game that you’re bound to enjoy if casino gaming interests you. The game’s purpose is to beat the dealer to the number 21. You can win an absolute fortune playing blackjack. However, if you are going to play it, as is the same with any type of gambling, you need to accept the fact that there’s a possibility you could lose. Never gamble more than you can afford to lose. If you think you are developing a casino addiction at any point, then stop playing.

Casino gaming can be just as lucrative as sports betting. It’s a lot more fun than sports betting because as this post shows, there are many different games that you can play. Give the ones mentioned here priority, as they are without a doubt the most popular.

4 Ways Sports Broadcasting is Changing

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Keeping up with the changing tastes of viewers as they migrate from TV to digital platforms can be difficult. Still, it is essential for the continued success of broadcast media.

Although television broadcasting is not extinct, it is changing rapidly, and one must adapt or perish. To transform from a TV television channel to an overall broadcaster is to essentially switch from having served a TV audience to catering to audiences regardless of where they may be.

Here are some top sports media to look out for in 2023.

  1. Growth of over-the-top (OTT) services

OTT stands for “over-the-top,” which describes internet-based content distribution that does not necessitate a cable or pay-TV subscription. Simply put, OTT refers to any form of online video playback.  Much like all you need is an internet connection to play and have fun with Slotastic bonus codes.

What gives these OTT players an edge? There are a couple of explanations for this. One is the passing of time and the arrival of new generations. The internet is everything for younger generations, Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

When did you last see them watching a TV program or broadcast? It’s only a matter of time, with the elder (TV-grown-up) generation dwindling in number and the new generations expanding with each new birth. Eventually, television will become obsolete.

You may ask, why is progress in sports so slow? Then meet the owners of these rights! These individuals are monetizing the sports-related content they created or acquired. Long-term partnerships with extremely wealthy television networks have allowed many rights holders to maximize income to this point.

Traditionally, these channels have opted to sell sports to sports fans as part of bundled packages (mainly on TV).

Many of these contracts are about to run out and can thus be renegotiated. TV has lost viewership at a time when there are many fresh potential events to attend.

  1. Information that is both reliable and up-to-date

There is a lot of movement in the media broadcasting sector. As more and more people gain access to weather and news reports, the accuracy and timeliness of these reports will become increasingly important.

Accurate, local, and timely updates will make a media organization successful. Advances in weather tech and modeling are crucial if broadcasters are to satisfy people’s growing appetite for and need for reliable, localized forecasts and predictions.

  1. Potentially successful novel forms of content

Compared to their parents, leave alone their grandparents, members of Generation Z have very diverse tastes. These older audiences continue to anticipate content delivered and created in the same ways they always have.

But keep in mind that the millennial generation isn’t the video generation. The millennial generation has little patience for marathon sporting events. As soon as a game ends, Gen Z is no longer around. They enjoy featurettes or hilarious, offbeat content as well as in-depth looks at the lives of the celebrities they look up to and interviews with those in the public eye. Some of them enjoy tuning in to Twitch to view the live, interactive broadcasts of commentators giving their thoughts on a variety of sports.

Edits on sports content will also likely speed up significantly. The average attention span of a member of Generation Z is decreasing; therefore, the content they consume needs to be engaging and rapid-fire.

There is little doubt that material is evolving and will no longer be limited to the likes of classic video games. In future years, you can expect a lot more diversity.

  1. Social issues are reflected in sports journalism

Sports editors want more from their writers than just box scores and game recaps. Because of sports’ pervasive influence in society, players are mirrors of evolving norms and beliefs.

The coaches, athletes, and other participants in today’s sporting events are treated as human beings rather than plot devices. Athletes have been vocal about a wide range of topics in recent years. The following incidents caused heated discussions on various online platforms and in the comments sections of sports articles:

  • In 2016, Colin Kaepernick, a player for the San Francisco 49ers, took a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality.
  • In 2020, the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team sported their warmups backward as a form of protest against pay inequality.
  • In 2020, in response to the fatal cop shooting of Jacob Blake, the Milwaukee Bucks boycotted a game.

ESPN surveyed sports enthusiasts to learn how they felt about professional athletes speaking up on social problems. Seventy-one percent of people who participated in the survey said they agreed, with 44% saying they agreed strongly that athletes should be able to speak out.

Sports media that ignores athletes’ thoughts on current events isn’t meeting the demands of its readers.

Broadcasting media and technology are in a perpetual cycle of change

Although the media landscape is constantly shifting, broadcasting has always had, and always will have, an educational and informative mission. Marketers in the broadcasting industry would do well to consider these points of view and appreciate that satisfying users’ information needs are crucial. They should also remember that making a broadcast exciting and of good quality will imprint them in viewers’ minds long after they’ve stopped watching.

In your opinion, which changes should be monitored closely?

Five Takeaways from Heat’s Win Over Grizzlies

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Miami Heat took care of business on Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Hot three point shooting, early Jimmy Butler cooking, and one of their best offensive games of the season.

Some takeaways….

#1: Another night of early Jimmy Butler dominance.

Jimmy Butler came out in the opening quarter and put up a quick 12 points as he played the entire first quarter. The thing about those 12 points: 8 of those were free throws. He was getting to any spot he wanted when flowing downhill, and did his usual barreling into defenders to get to the line. Even though Jimmy Butler said the other day “Playoff Jimmy” isn’t a thing, I’m going to very quickly deny that statement: it’s a thing. He’s been seeming to really ramp up over the last week or so offensively, since you can slowly notice the volume rising. The key to a lot of this, though, is that he’s doing it with such ease. It just simply never feels forced. The moment it crosses the line of forced is when things can get sticky, but he’s just playing incredibly good basketball right now.

#2: Kyle Lowry anchoring the offense in his new bench role?

I’m going to talk the new look rotation next, but the role for Kyle Lowry didn’t change at all. Actually the thing that has changed the most as of late for him is the quality of play. The first half of the season, the adjective I kept using to describe him was “uncomfortable,” but this new back-up role has flipped that. The bench lineups have been atrocious, and he really settled that group tonight. Generating great ball movement for the offensive process, getting some paint touches, and just playing in his ideal, calm manner. Of course some relief triples would be huge from him in his role, but the secondary attacks might be even more crucial. If he’s willing to put his head down once or twice when that ball is swinging, that group should be in a good spot.

#3: Let’s take a dive into this new look Heat rotation tonight…

As I’ve been hinting at for a while, there was going to be a shift coming soon from the 10 man rotation to a 9 man rotation. The question was just: who will be the odd man out? Well, that guy ended up being Victor Oladipo, which honestly isn’t too much of a surprise with his play as of late. The other role players are just too important within their role in comparison to the wide ranging outcomes that can come from Oladipo’s minutes. It’s just one game, but still something. The other part of this is that the Heat actually did go 10, but that’s because there was a short leash for a certain rotation guy. Omer Yurtseven checked in and picked up 2 quick fouls. A little bit after, the Grizzlies run double drag with Yurtseven in that drop, and the ball-handler somehow gets behind him for the lay-in. Spo was furious on the court, and ended up going to Haywood Highsmith shortly after. Those defensive limitations are a real thing…

#4: It’s always been about the shooting.

With 4 minutes left in the third quarter, Kevin Love knocks down his third triple of the night to extend the Heat’s three point shooting to 48% on the night. Well let’s be honest, this is new. It’s usually me talking about the Heat generating decent looks but shooting around 20% from deep. I wouldn’t say the looks were *that* much different from previous nights in this one, but it was pretty obvious that the ball movement was much more improved. Not to blame Oladipo by any means, but I do think the ball sticks way too much with him in that second unit. Lowry did a good job of forcing swing passes, and Martin just doesn’t stop moving ever. The Heat’s three point shooting surged early last season and collapsed in the playoffs. The overly positive takeaway could be they’re peaking at the right time this year instead.

#5: Wait, not a clutch game?

Watching the Heat lead by 20 for a long period of time in the second half might be more of a new look than the rise in three-point shooting, Somehow even when they would lead, that score would evaporate rather quickly. Well, that’s the result of a team that looks anything north of serviceable offensively. Usually when these games continue to be “in the mud,” that just equals close game down the stretch. Why do clutch games continue to make appearances? It honestly may be as simple as poor offensive play and defensive overcompensating. Aside from the shooting, also credit to the Heat’s main three guys for coming to play. Butler was dominant, Adebayo was active, Herro was efficient. This is the time to keep putting these wins together.
