Joe Burrow reportedly signs 5 year, $275 million extension with Bengals

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals agreed to a 5-year, $275 million contract extension, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday night. The $219 million in guarantees make him the highest-paid player in league history, according to the report. Speculation around the 26-year-old's impending contract swirled all offseason after other top quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts and Justin Herbert all inked then-record deals. A calf strain during training camp further cast doubt on Burrow's Week 1 availability and complicated contractual matters a bit more. Burrow's rise from No. 1 overall pick in 2020 to a top-5 quarterback took just two seasons after he tore his ACL and missed the final six games of his rookie season. Burrow led the Bengals to the Super Bowl in 2021 with an NFL-leading 70.4% completion rate after he threw for 4,611 passing yards and 34 touchdowns. He also won NFL Comeback Player of the Year that season. While the Bengals didn't go back to the Super Bowl this past season, Burrow still finished second in completion percentage and passing touchdowns as Cincinnati lost to the Kansas City Chiefs by a field goal in the AFC title game. He threw for 4,475 yards, 35 touchdowns and 12 interceptions with a 68.3% competition rate. All along, Burrow has been adamant about signing a deal that would allow the Bengals to keep key contributors like wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Chase has two years left on his rookie deal plus a potential fifth-year option, while Higgins will be an impending free agent this offseason. Cincinnati will also need to figure out what to do with running back Joe Mixon, who took a pay cut to return to the team this season, as well as 2019 first-rounder Jonah Williams, veteran receiver Tyler Boyd and linebacker Logan Wilson. Burrow needed to be the first domino to fall in the Bengals' contractual plans. Now, Cincinnati will focus on getting back to the Super Bowl with their franchise quarterback locked in for the foreseeable future.

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating. A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....
