Where Will Odell Beckham Jr Sign - Former Giants WR Weighs In

Betting.US

David Tyree, the former wide receiver for the New York Giants, has offered his opinion on whether Odell Beckham Jr will return to his former team. Beckham JR has been given the green light to return after recovering from an ACL injury incurred during his Super Bowl-winning performance for the Los Angeles Rams in 2022. There is much speculation about whether Beckham Jr will return to the Rams, the Giants, or sign with the Dallas Cowboys. Speaking to Betting.us, Tyree stated, “I do believe he’s going to come back [to The Giants]”, adding that he will likely stick around for “a few great years because he’s that immensely talented.” Beckham Jr was first drafted by the Giants in 2014 and played with the team until 2018 before he was drafted by the Cleveland Browns. Tyree was working for the Giants in the player development team during this period, so he has intimate knowledge of Beckham Jr’s potential. Tyree has also decried the frenzy surrounding Beckham Jr’s return and potential singing. “It kind of sucks that there was this media skirmish, and this is the time to avoid any kind of distraction… He’s just positioned himself so well in his run with The Rams and he deserves this opportunity.” Beckham Jr has admitted that he’s been in contact with the Giants, the Rams, the Bills, and the Packers about potential deals. As hopes for The Rams’ playoff contention slip away, speculation seems to favor either a Giants return or Cowboys signing. Both teams offer appealing prospects to the star wide receiver. While the Cowboys' current offense is satisfactory, it isn’t exactly inspiring. However, the Cowboy's defense is one of the best in the league, with the best pass-rush grade and a high coverage grade. If Beckham Jr wants to secure another Super Bowl ring, the Cowboys could be a legitimate option. The Giants too have been performing strongly this season, though Beckham Jr's history with the team may be enough to inspire a return. He would undoubtedly add plenty of value to the team’s flagging offense, and a high-figure contract may be enough to lure him back in. In any case, David Tyree has acknowledged that a return after his injury may still bring challenges for the player. “It’s not another easy decision coming off ACL, right? It’s like it’s the dream homecoming, but it’s not as easy as you would like it to be when you look at where The Giants are capitalized.” Tyree Discusses “Best Catch” Comparisons In the same interview, David Tyree discussed the differences between his iconic helmet catch for the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII and the one-handed catch by Beckham Jr in 2015. Tyree’s catch took place within the last two minutes of the Super Bowl game and would lead to a match-winning touchdown. It would be one of the biggest NFL upsets in history and ended a 19-game winning streak for the New England Patriots. When quizzed on whose catch was better, Tyree said “I don’t think there’s a better,” but that “it’s almost not comparable.” Tyree surmised that his catch was the more significant of the two, as it led to a Super Bowl win.

Daniel Jones Deserves a New Deal – Former Giant & ‘Helmet Catch’ WR Speaks Up

Betting.US

David Tyree, the former wide receiver for the New York Giants, has shared his opinion that current Giants quarterback Daniel Jones should be offered another contract. Although Tyree admits that it will be a complex decision to make, Jones has certainly “earned the right to another opportunity.” In his interview with Betting.us, Tyree highlighted Jones’ recent season as indicating a valuable talent. Speaking of his achievements on the field this year, he said that the coaching staff is likely to have noticed that “we can trust [him to deliver] … and I think that’s a tribute to him.” He also noted that despite not getting a fifth-year option, Jones “performed when the pressure was on, with a team and a coach that believes in him.” The 2022 season marked the fourth and final year of Jones’ rookie quarterback contract. If the team were to extend the option, his contract would be worth around $23 million. Depending on his performance at the end of this season, Jones may still be offered a long-term deal. A contract would then cost the team roughly $30 million. As of December 20, 2022, he has made 57 touchdowns for the Giants since being signed in 2019. Jones’ future will be decided in large part by head coach Brian Daboll. According to Tyree, Jones has led what is the Giants’ “dismal” offense, and that outside of him, “there is not a lot of talent around that offense in a lot of different positions.” That said, Tyree acknowledged that the Giants have had to overcome “so many injuries…. It’s a miracle that they’re still sitting at six and three… The offensive line wasn’t even supposed to be playing as well as they played, and they still endured injuries. They should just give Brian Daboll the award at this point.” Daniel Jones’ 2022 Performance So Far As 2022 draws to a close, the Giants' chances of appearing in the playoffs are closer to becoming reality. After the team beat the Washington Commanders 20-12, the Giants need only to win one more of their next three games. This victory ended a four-game losing streak for the Giants. One of the biggest surprises was the performance of Daniel Jones. Jones has previously struggled in prime-time games for the Giants, with the team losing their last 11 prime-time games. A more consistent and considered performance saw Jones master an impressive touchdown drive in the second quarter. This will hopefully be a return to form for Jones after a spotty run of performances in recent weeks. His first nine games were lauded for being highly efficient, with a marked increase in care for the ball this year than in his previous three seasons. In his first nine games, Jones tossed only two interceptions in 237 throws, an impressive feat shared only by Tom Brady. Although it looks as though Jones' prospects for an extended contract are likely, it’s possible that this will be denied if the Giants don’t make it to the playoffs. Whether the Giants can achieve this, David Tyree is hopeful. “I think they can get in as a wild card, my Giants. But… they have to pull off miracles’ week in and week out to get a win, and with the roster thinned out, it gets tough.” Nevertheless, Tyree remains loyal to his former team. “Go Giants always. I’ll pick them to win eight, nine times out of ten. Contact Details Betting.us Patrick Humphrey +44 7450 292577 patrick.humphrey@mytraffico.com Company Website https://www.betting.us/

New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Orders NYC to Drop Foie Gras Sales Ban

Catskill Foie Gras Collective

Hudson Valley duck farmers, organized as the Catskill Foie Gras Collective, announced today that the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets has ruled that NYC’s proposed ban on the sale of foie gras in NYC restaurants and retail stores violates State law. The Department has issued an Order directing that New York City “immediately comply with the provisions of Section 305-a of the Agriculture and Markets Law” and refrain from taking any action “that would restrict [the farmers’] ability to sell their product in the New York City market.” Agriculture and Markets Law § 305-a prohibits municipalities, like New York City, from enacting laws that unreasonably restrict farming operations in certified agricultural districts. The Hudson Valley duck farms are located within certified agricultural districts. The Department issued its Order after investigating the farmers’ complaint that NYC’s sales ban, which is known as Local Law 202, would unreasonably restrict their operations. “After reviewing our complaint, the Department of Agriculture has determined the City’s proposed actions do, in fact, violate New York State Law,” said Marcus Henley, a spokesperson for the Catskill Foie Gras Collective. “We are extremely grateful that the Department has taken this action, as hundreds of Sullivan County farm worker jobs were hanging in the balance.” Local Law 202 would have become effective on November 25, 2022, but in a separate lawsuit, a Manhattan judge issued a preliminary injunction that enjoins the City from enforcing the law pending further proceedings in that suit. Had Local Law 202 gone into effect at that time, the sales ban would have caused millions of dollars in revenue loss to the State, New York City, restaurants, wholesale distributors, retail store owners, and related transportation companies. “On a broader scale, the order stops local municipalities from establishing a dangerous precedent of dictating to us what farmers can grow and what people can eat,” added Henley. “It’s great news for farmers and fine diners everywhere.” Proponents for the sales ban, including animal rights groups, mistakenly claim that ducks are treated inhumanely during the foie gras production process. Hudson Valley Foie Gras and La Belle Farms respond that their ducks are well cared for, are allowed to roam freely, and are processed in a government-inspected facility, strictly adhering to animal welfare and federal regulations. Both farms produce foie gras using a special hand-feeding method, like no other farm in the world, so as not to harm the ducks. “These well-funded groups are reactionary and powerful, often times acting without knowing all the facts,” said Sergio Saravia, President of La Belle Farms. “We welcome politicians and reporters to visit our poultry farms and see, firsthand, the farming practices we have in place.” New York City has thirty days to challenge the Department’s Order by filing a court proceeding in Albany County. “We hope the City will accept the Order given the Department’s authority and expertise enforcing the Agriculture and Markets Law, but we will continue to fight to protect our farms if the City decides to spend even more taxpayer dollars on taking the matter to court in Albany.” For more information about foie gras production visit: https://foiegrasfacts.org. About Catskill Foie Gras Collective: The Catskill Foie Gras Collective is comprised of Hudson Valley Foie Gras and La Belle Farm, the main producers of foie gras to restaurants and retail food stores. The collective serves as a resource for factual information and independent articles about our farming.

Origin Dollar OUSD V2 Launch to Attract Users Burnt by FTX, BlockFi, and Voyager With Safer Alternative

Benzinga

By Ryan McNamara, Benzinga Contributor At a time when uncertainty in crypto is at an all time high, Origin Protocol launched OUSD V2, allowing users to take full control of their yield directly from their crypto wallet. Users that hold OUSD see their token balance grow in their wallet –– the entire process is passive. After diving into the mechanics of Origin Dollar, it’s clear that Origin’s decentralized solution is a secure alternative to risky centralized finance (CeFi) interest alternatives. The protocol’s new yield generation strategies are audited by OpenZeppelin, the auditors of Coinbase, Aave, and the Ethereum Foundation. In response to recent CeFi failures, Origin seeks to give power back to users through true asset ownership. Origin Dollar is completely transparent, fully collateralized, and has instant liquidity at all times via Ethereum’s blockchain. With the implementation of new Convex and Morpho strategies for OUSD V2, Origin Dollar now provides the highest stablecoin interest rates available on a risk-adjusted basis. “Origin has been building OUSD with a security-first philosophy for years. For a long time, the yield on OUSD was inline with what’s found on USDC and DAI, and it’s incredibly exciting to see the improvements made to the protocol this month. Over the last 30-days, OUSD has earned holders over 6% APY. That’s over twice the rate of the prior month with no additional risk, thanks to OUSD V2,” said Josh Fraser, co-founder at Origin Protocol. OUSD has deployed two new strategies for yield generation using the Convex protocol. As evidence of Origin’s ongoing commitment to prioritizing security, both strategies have been audited by industry leading auditing firm, OpenZeppelin. View the full audit findings here. The strategies are designed to provide liquidity to decentralized stablecoin exchange Curve’s 3Pool (3CRV) via different mechanics. 3CRV comprises USDC, USDT, and DAI – the three stables that act as collateral for OUSD. Origin’s long-standing partnership with both Convex and Curve has allowed us to implement these strategies and innovate on their efficiency. "OUSD empowers individuals to own their crypto, which has been brought into the limelight in 2022. And for new users, OUSD is the perfect way to dip one’s feet into DeFi. There’s no need for active management, and yield is passively earned and deposited to one’s web3 wallet daily.” Nicolau continued, “OUSD is also a great tool for DAOs. Most DAOs want to stay decentralized and directly own their assets, so it’s hard to manage funds off-chain or trust another party to manage a DAO’s treasury. With OUSD, DAO treasuries can directly own their assets like any other token, and interest from OUSD’s collateral will be deposited into the DAO treasury daily.” - Andra Nicolau Head of BD, OUSD As centralized crypto alternatives must fight to gain back investors’ trust, decentralized finance and OUSD offer an opportunity to eliminate trust completely. With funds managed by code instead of humans, the risk-profile of DeFi is far different than the risks on centralized exchanges. OUSD remains fully collateralized, transparent, and permissionless on Ethereum. OUSD is only one of six projects that have received a AAA security rating from premier decentralized insurance platform InsurAce. All smart contracts are meticulously audited prior to deployment, as has been done with the convex strategies via OpenZeppelin. OUSD is a constantly evolving protocol. Origin is consistently working to build new strategies on top of Curve, Convex, Aave, and Compound to deliver the best possible yields to holders. These strategies and allocations can be viewed via OUSD’s governance portal and will be subject to the same rigorous security measures currently being utilized. As part of Origin’s commitment to transparency, all OUSD allocations and statistics can be accessed via the analytics dashboard. Holding OUSD allows you to benefit from incredible APYs using the space’s hardest collateral, deployed to premier, battle-tested DeFi protocols. Yield is delivered straight to your wallet – no lockups required. About Origin Protocol Founded in 2017, Origin Protocol is a web3 pioneer developing innovative products in the crypto industryâs fastest growing verticals of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Originâs NFT platform, Origin Story, the platformâs NFT product, has powered NFT sales like 3LAU's $11.7M record-breaking music sale, the Charlie Bit My Finger viral video sale that generated global headlines, Paris Hiltonâs iconic âPast Lives, New Beginningsâ series drop, and many more. Origin has worked with top NFT creators like Trevor Jones and Alotta Money as well as brands like Rolling Stones and Inspiration4/SpaceX, in addition to developing branded marketplaces for beloved NFT collections, including Pudgy Penguins and Karafuru.
