Llega el campeonato Ultimate, la gran exhibición del mejor atletismo …

Junto al Danubio que se evapora, el estadio nacional de atletismo de Budapest será una discoteca este fin de semana. Mondo Duplantis pondrá la música, Noah Lyles el vestuario psicodélico y Usain Bolt el baile. Habrá alfombra roja y desfile de modelos, y, en el centro, iluminados como especímenes de un museo arqueológico revividos con técnicas digitales y bases de datos computacionales los mejores atletas del mundo lucirán su talento y su competitividad, su dominio del gesto técnico y la elegancia de movimientos, su sed y su ambición alimentadas durante años y años de intenso entrenamiento. Son una cultura en extinción, especie amenazada en el programa olímpico y en las mínimas ventanas que ofrecen las programaciones televisivas, que busca sobrevivir abrazando la tecnología y las bombillas LED en un mundo al que la IA y la automatización de todos los procesos, y hay carreras de robots más rápidos que Usain Bolt, le roban toda brizna de imprevisibilidad y gracia, tan humanas.

Well, that was a shocker. The much-hyped Rams were taken to the woodshed in Week 1, falling to the 49ers 27-7 in Australia. Seattle and San Francisco are 1-0, while L.A. is 0-1 in the treacherous NFC West. Oddsmakers and sharp bettors serve up their insights on a few other intriguing games, as we dive into NFL Week 1 betting nuggets.

In America’s Game of the Week, FOX kicks it off with a big NFC East rivalry: Commanders vs. Eagles at 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday. At DraftKings Sports, the Eagles opened as 5.5-point favorites and made a couple trips down to -4.5. But on Wednesday, the Eagles were back at -5.5. Washington hopes a healthy Jayden Daniels can help keep up with Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. Last season, Daniels missed 10 games due to various injuries. But bettors are leaning into the home favorite at DraftKings, with 64% of spread tickets and 76% of spread money backing the Eagles. And no question, Philadelphia will be a hugely popular play in moneyline parlays. Another notable FOX matchup: Buccaneers vs. Bengals at 1 p.m. ET Sunday. A severe turf toe injury kept Bengals QB Joe Burrow out of the lineup much of last year, from Weeks 3 to 12. But Burrow is healthy for a showdown against Baker Mayfield & Co. Caesars has Cincinnati as a 3.5-point home favorite, which is where this number stuck pretty much all summer. While the public hasn’t weighed in much yet for this 1 p.m. ET kickoff on FOX, Feazel is pretty certain of where things are heading. "There’s a lot of hype around Joe Burrow. I anticipate seeing more Bengals action," he said. It’s another NFC East showdown on the NFL Week 1 oddsboard: Cowboys vs. Giants at 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday. Back in mid-May, the Cowboys opened as 1.5-point favorites, but quickly advanced to -2.5. Over the past week at Caesars, Dallas advanced to -3 a couple times, and that’s where the Cowboys sat on Wednesday afternoon. With a popular Dallas squad in the Sunday night spotlight, this game could be a huge decision for Caesars and every other book. Especially if other popular favorites have a good Sunday, leading to moneyline parlay liability crashing into the Cowboys by Sunday night. "The public action is gonna be one-sided," Feazel said. "The Giants brought in John Harbaugh as coach, which will bring in some bettors. But it’s gonna be lopsided action on the Cowboys, one-way traffic." Patrick Mahomes tore up his knee in Week 15 last season, but he’s set to start for the Chiefs vs. the Broncos at 8:15 p.m. ET Monday. Likewise, Denver QB Bo Nix is back and healthy, after suffering a broken ankle in an AFC divisional-round win over Buffalo. The Broncos — minus Nix — then lost to the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. Caesars opened the Chiefs as 2.5-point home favorites, and K.C. advanced to -3 a couple times. But midweek, it’s Chiefs -2.5 (-117), and early action is perhaps a bit surprising. "We’re actually seeing more Broncos money come in. A couple of years ago, that would’ve been unheard of," Feazel said. "But the Chiefs’ defense has arguably gotten worse, and there are questions on offense, as well. "So far, the public is not buying this Chiefs team." But a lot could change between now and Monday night. Keep in mind that on all these NFL games, the overwhelming majority of action comes in on game day, and even more so in the last hour or two. And if favorites have a big Sunday, there’ll be no shortage of moneyline parlays live to the Chiefs on Monday night. sport-newz.biz

La vida es un empleo temporal, un periodo de cotización más o menos largo y penoso en el que nos reconforta pensar en la felicidad mientras producimos alguna milonga. Tornillos, horas de estrés, artículos, libros, pechugas de pollo, películas. Da igual el brillo que le ponga el ego. Es tiempo robado a la vida, porque cuando te echan del curro o uno deja de farmear ese aura laboral, por lo que sea, especialmente en ese momento en que está clarísimo que se ha tocado techo y nada mejor ocurrirá, la sensación de derrota en el cementerio de LinkedIn o Infojobs será la misma para todos.
