It’s January and that means it’s time to talk transfer rumors. Tottenham Hotspur have become notorious for inactivity in the past year or so, but every has changed now given the Harry Kane situation. Now that Tottenham have officially confirmed that their talisman and franchise player will be out until March due to severe ankle ligament damage.

Spurs now face an uphill climb to hold on to a top four position, and their odds of winning one of the cup competitions they are still alive in are now much longer. What will they do to try and beef up the squad?

This upcoming weekend brings Cubs Convention, an annual rite of passage that markets itself as a warm, feel-good celebration of all things baseball in the midst of the cold winter sports dead zone. What the event truly is, when you actually examine it, is a three day long native advertisement for Cubs tickets to the upcoming season.

A native advertisement that costs $125 to get into by the way. Typically, Cubs Con is a chance for more upbeat and positive stories to be produced en masse, but that is certainly not the tone this January. The Cubs fan base is currently pretty upset with the club for two major reasons.

Liverpool have suffered another major injury blow in the position group where they can least afford it- defender. The back line injury crisis deepens as right back Trent Alexander-Arnold suffered knee ligament damage in the 1-0 win over Brighton on Saturday. Alexander-Arnold will miss at least a month, but potentially more due to this setback.

The Liverpool Echo reports that no surgery will be required but TAA will most likely be out for League fixtures against Crystal Palace, Leicester City, West Ham United and AFC Bournemouth.

Petr Cech, as you can see from the cartoon above, is the only Premier League goalkeeper to have ever been “Simpsonized.”

It’s quite an honor, but only one of many that the most capped player in Czech history (124 appearances) has achieved in his career. During his 20 years in the game, Cech has been on teams that have won four Premier League titles, five FA Cups, three Leagues Cups, the Europa League and the Champions League. He announced his retirement, effective at the end of the season, on Twitter today.

As of right now, the injured ankle belonging to Tottenham Hotspur striker and talisman Harry Kane is reportedly too swollen to be scanned. It won’t be until after the swelling subsides that a true, full assessment of the joint can be done, but it is feared Kane could be out of commission for over a month.

The fact that it is still this swollen, two days after Tottenham lost 1-0 to Manchester United at home in Premier League competition, is obviously not a good sign. According to The Guardian:

2019 NFL Mock Draft 1-15-19

nfl draft

It’s 2019 NFL mock draft time! The order is now set, up until the divisional round of the playoffs. Team needs were sometimes, but often not taken into account, as it’s still early for a 2019 mock draft in the purest sense.

A true 2019 NFL mock draft can’t really be composed until after 2019 free agency. Have issues with the picks? Of course you do! Many often bones to pick, so have at it in the comments section. Just try to not be like the others who hurl insults and instead keep it classy and professional. Sure, this disclaimer will go completely ignored, as it always does, but I’ll say it anyway- “THERE IS NO NEED FOR NAME CALLING!”
