What Happens After 300 Carries? | National Football Post

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

In the ten years spanning from 2002-2011, there were 77 instances in which an NFL running back amassed 300 or more carries in a season. If we eliminate Ricky Williams’ 2003 campaign and Tiki Barber’s 2006 effort (both of whom retired the following season), we are left with a sample size of 75. And out of those 75 instances in which a running back recorded 300 or more carries in a season, 55 (73.3%) went on to score fewer fantasy points the following year (complete list located at the end of this article).

Daniel Pena: The Enigmatic Kawhi Leonard

The old adage goes that player's names are made and solidified in the NBA Finals. Such can be seen in the media frenzy surrounding the unlikely rise of Gary Neal and Danny Green whose combined 51 points in Game 3 against the Heat led to a massive 113-77 rout. In the post-game conference, when asked about how he was so capable of containing the league's MVP, LeBron James, and holding him to just fifteen points, the notoriously dry Popovich refused to answer the question and with good reason. If it's true that names can be made in the playoffs, it is also true that names can be broken or at least tarnished. Coach Popovich hinted at as much in fielding questions on LeBron James' lackluster performance against the Spurs in Game 1. When asked to remark on James' performance in Game 3 and what he thought James could do better, Coach Popovich dryly remarked, "He's a grown man. He doesn't you to tell him anything. He knows more than all of you put together." Thus far, the conversation surrounding Miami's performance in the Finals centers on the singular narrative of what LeBron James can do better. Perhaps, the better question to ask is, "What is Kawhi Leonard doing right?"

With only 11 points and 1.7 assists averaged throughout this series, it might seem at first glance that Leonard is a minor role-player, an afterthought, a whistle in the riptide wind that is the Spurs' performance in this series. Indeed, he very well might be to the casual observer, but only because the narrative surrounding LeBron's fall from MVP grace is a much more enticing narrative to follow than the story of a rising small forward's ability to contain the so-called greatest contemporary player in the world. You only need to look as far as Leonard's averages of 12 rebounds, two steals, and myriad of forced turnovers to see that Popovich's control over the Heat relies as much on Kawhi Leonard as it does on the offensive spark of the rest of his team.

Much of Miami's trouble in this series has come from their inability to get to the free-throw line as well as their inability, with the exception of Chris Anderson, to score points inside the paint. Leonard's defense of James has been brilliant, seldom allowing the 75.3% free throw shooter to get to the line while somehow managing to disallow him to score on the post, instead forcing James to kick the ball out, ad nauseum, to players who can't seem to convert on the assist. Mario Chalmers played the entirety of Game 3 without scoring any points. Dwayne Wade went seven for 15 from the field in that same game. Leonard's defense creates a conundrum for LeBron, daring him to shoot from mid-range or beyond the arc in order to score or facilitate as a passer, putting the ball into player's hands who might be willing but unable to score with the same potency as James can, though there's evidence James' potency is waning as well, scoring 7/21 in Game 1, 7/17 in Game 2, and 7/16 in Game 3.

There's another old adage that goes, "defensive players never get their due." Fair enough. Not that Leonard or Danny Green or Gary Neal are griping. Leonard, like Green and Neal, is unassuming, almost forgotten. Gregg Popovich knows this. The rest of the Spurs know this. And it's perhaps because of this, their almost banal presence, that the Heat defense (and in turn offense) have gone soft on these players, opting instead to double up on the likes of Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, and Tiago Splitter. For the Heat, players like Leonard are supposed to be nobodies. The Heat need for them to be nobodies if the stand a chance to win.

It's fair to say that Kawhi Leonard is in the running for Finals MVP should the Spurs win this series. Or at least he should be. He's done what many-a-coach have considered to be the impossible in controlling LeBron James. In turn he controls the Heat and propels the Spurs onward toward their fifth NBA championship. His name too will be forged in these Finals.

Michael Shank: What Trans-Pacific and US-EU Trade Partnerships Must Tackle: Jobs

A high-level panel appointed by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon released its recommendations last month for a global development agenda when the Millennium Development Goals expire at the end of 2015 and when approximately one billion people will still be living in extreme poverty.

The panel recognized the tremendous achievement the world has made in lifting 600 million people out of extreme poverty but also warned of rising global inequality. Their number one priority going forward: Leave no one behind. This should sound familiar to Washington's "leave no child behind" agenda. Hopefully this one will be more successful.

One key component of that "leave no one behind" agenda is jobs. One of the biggest drivers of inequality is a lack of jobs; but not just any jobs, just jobs, ones that come with appropriate wages, rights, protections such as healthcare and pensions, and opportunities for economic mobility.

The "jobs" conversation in Washington, and around the world, often forgets to factor these in, the consequences of which are concerning. The International Labor Organization's (ILO) recently released Global Wage Report found that, since 1995, inequality between the highest and lowest wages has increased in nearly three quarters of the countries for which there is data.

The United States is one of the advanced countries in which the gap between the highest and the lowest wages is largest. While we've heard this before, the gap is getting worse.

This is not merely a blow to our American dream but a blow to our economy. The destabilizing effects of high levels of unemployment and poor working conditions inhibit the creation of socio-economically just societies, vibrant economies, and strong governments necessary to foster sustainable and inclusive economic growth.

The ILO study finds that, in addition to the rising inequality among wage earners, average labor productivity in developing countries, from 1999 to 2011, increased twice as fast as their average wages. This means that labor's share of the Gross Domestic Product -- the broadest measure of economic output -- has shrunk considerably. Even in China, where wages increased substantially, they did not grow quickly enough to increase workers' share of national income.

These trends do not bode well for the millions of workers across the globe, but they also adversely affect governments and businesses worldwide. A lack of good jobs and poor working conditions, and the resulting inequality, fosters social unrest, political instability and insecurity that can destabilize governments and create an uncertain business environment.

Worker-based protests from Cairo, Egypt, to Foxconn in China, and garment factories in Bangladesh easily prove that point. Why companies aren't quick to fix this is confounding. The purchasing power of global consumers is being reduced at a time when the world's economy needs it most. This means, for example, that U.S. products and services will find fewer buyers abroad, and foreign goods and services will find fewer buyers in America.

So how do we fix this problem? In New Delhi, India, in April, a "Just Jobs Index" was launched to identify and rank the countries that are providing the best employment opportunities, income and employment security, safety at work and healthy work conditions, and equality of treatment and opportunity. The top five performers in 2009, the latest year where the data were most available: Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Australia and Denmark. These countries are prioritizing a sustainable work environment and a quality workforce.

Other countries must follow suit. Countries need to make quality employment the cornerstone of their economic growth strategies. Globalization, and especially trade, must be in service of creating more and better jobs and providing workers with commensurate wages, benefits, rights and protections. Freedom of association and collective bargaining, furthermore, can help empower civil society to keep businesses and governments accountable in creating more equitable outcomes.

Too often we are eager to promote global integration, especially international trade, while failing to protect a safe and sustainable future for workers. The new ILO report shows how poorly we're performing at fostering better living standards for workers. As Washington weighs the pros and cons of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership and the U.S.-EU Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, this must be at the fore of the conversation.

Florida Shooting: 7 Dead In Hialeah Apartment Shootout, Including Gunman (VIDEO)

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

HIALEAH, Fla. — A man living with his mother in a South Florida apartment complex set their unit on fire and went on a shooting rampage throughout the building, killing six people before being shot to death by police. As the eight-hour standoff unfolded, horrified residents hunkered down in their homes, at times so close to the action they could feel the gunfire or hear negotiations between the gunman and police, authorities and witnesses said Saturday.

In the final hours, Pedro Vargas, 42, held two people hostage at gunpoint for up to three hours in their apartment until a SWAT team entered and killed him, police said. The hostages were not hurt.

"The crime scene is the whole building," said Lt. Carl Zogby, a spokesman with the Hialeah Police Department.

Police were called to the aging, five-story apartment building in Hialeah, a working class suburb a few miles northwest of downtown Miami, on Friday at 6:30 p.m. The first calls reported a fire, but when firefighters arrived, they heard shots and immediately notified police, Zogby said.

Vargas, who has no known criminal record, set a combustible liquid on fire in his fourth-floor apartment. Building manager Italo Pisciotti, 79, and his wife, Camira Pisciotti, 69, saw smoke and ran to the unit, Zogby said. When they arrived, Vargas opened the door and fired, killing both.

Detectives were investigating whether Vargas had any ongoing disputes with the building manager, as some residents believed. His mother was not home at the time.

After gunning down the building managers, Vargas went back into his burning apartment and fired 10 to 20 shots from a 9mm pistol into the street. One of the bullets struck 33-year-old Carlos Javier Gavilanes, who was parking his car after returning home from work. Zogby said his body was found next to his vehicle.

The gunman then kicked his way into a third-floor apartment, where he shot to death Patricio Simono, 54; his wife Merly Niebles, 51; and their 17-year-old daughter. Family members said Simono worked at a car wash and Niebles cleaned hotel rooms. Their daughter wanted to be a nurse.

All six people were killed in a short time span, Zogby said, and it's possible they were all dead by the time police arrived.

Officers and Vargas then engaged in an hours-long shootout and chase, with police following the gunman from one floor to the next.

"He kept running from us as he fired at us and we fired at him," Zogby said.

Several hours into the ordeal, Vargas forced his way into a fifth-story unit and held two people captive. Sgt. Eddie Rodriguez said negotiators and a SWAT team tried talking with him from the other side of the door.

Miriam Valdes, 70, was in a friend's apartment two doors down. She said she heard officers trying to convince Vargas to surrender.

"Pedro let these people out," Valdes said officers told him. "We're going to help you."

She said the gunman first asked for his girlfriend and then his mother but refused to cooperate.

Rodriguez said the talks eventually "just fell apart." Officers stormed the building, fatally shooting the gunman in an exchange of gunfire. Zogby said Vargas still had several rounds of ammunition when he was killed.

"He was ready to fight," Zogby said.

The hostages, identified as Zoeb and Sarrida Nek, were shaken up but not hurt, he said.

Police and neighbors described Vargas as a quiet man who had only recently moved into the building.

Tenants painted a mixed portrait of the gunman.

"He was a good son," said Ester Lazcano, who lived on the same floor as Vargas and his mother. "He'd take her in the morning to run errands" and to doctor appointments.

Lazcano said she was in the shower when she heard the first shots, then there were at least a dozen more. "I felt the shots," she said.

Valdes said Vargas was also known as a difficult person who sometimes got into fights and yelled at his mother.

"He was a very abusive person," she said. "He didn't have any friends there."

Zogby called Vargas' background "unremarkable." Police had not responded to any prior calls at his home.

"Nobody seems to know why he acted the way he acted," Zogby said.

As police investigated the crime scene, relatives of the victims began arriving to pick up their loved ones' belongings. Residents came out of their complex and spoke among each other as the sky turned dark and threatened to rain. Some had large swaths of water in their apartment from the firefighters who responded to extinguish the blaze.

Vargas' apartment door and the ceiling outside it were charred.

Agustin Hernandez, Merly Niebles' brother-in-law, loaded several old pictures and other items from his relative's apartment in a grocery cart and into his car. One showed his teenage niece smiling in a red graduation gown. Another pictured his sister-in-law posing in a white dress and pearls.

A binder also from the apartment had pop artist Justin Beiber's name on the spine, presumably belonging to the teenage girl, who family members identified as Priscilla Perez.

Marcela Chavarri, director of the American Christian School, said the Perez was about to enter her senior year.

"She was a lovely girl," Chavarri said through tears. "She was always happy and helping her classmates."

In Hialeah – a suburb of about 230,000 residents, about three-quarters of whom are Cuban or Cuban-American – the block around the apartment building was closed off with crime scene tape. At about midday, officers removed a body from the building and carried it away in a van.

Detectives, meanwhile, tried to piece together every shot and every minute of what had happened.

"It could have been a much, much more dangerous situation," Zogby said.

Braves Beat giants as Romo hits save

ATLANTA - Sergio Romo insisted to not blow the calm.

He could not deny that he blew the save.

The Giants more forced in the tying run with a bases-loaded walk to Justin Upton and abandoned the single party Freddie Freeman, yielding two runs in the ninth on Saturday 6-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

"That's baseball," said Romo. "You can't control some things. I went there and tried my best to me. Do not go as well. Is never a good feeling when he left his team."

B.J. Upton hit two home runs from starting giant Chad Gaudin, but San Francisco was 5-4 entering the ninth inning.

Romo (3-3) walked Pinch Evan Gattis, who was replaced by corridor whit Reed Johnson, with one out. Andrelton Simmons followed with a grounder that skipped past third baseman Joaquín Arias for an error, putting runners at first and second.

Jason Heyward followed with a liner that Andres Torres, loading the bases fell in front of left fielder.

Justin Upton took a tone of about 3-2 for a ball to force in the run than. The tone, which was backing away from Upton, was close to the inside part of the plate. Romo gave a few steps toward the plate to express their disagreement.

"It was a close pitch but I obviously think it's a ball," said Upton. "Pitchers want that tone. It was my way."

Upton added: "I've seen it several times to know what to look for."

Asked about the pitch of 3-2, Romo said that "really it doesn't matter what I think. The result of the game is already placed."

Romo said that it did not hike affect your concentration against Freeman.

"It was good," said. "I had that it focus. We were still in the game. Although he tied the game still we had the opportunity to continue playing. "You have to dig there same deep and stay focused".

Romo threw two sliders - a ball and a strike - before attempting to sneak one ball further than the great first baseman Freeman. The left-handed batting Freeman back on the field, the winner of the only fitting game to the field of law.

"Only place my foot and when I saw the ball swung," Freeman said. "I do not expect anything. Only place my foot and swing and hope for the best."

Romo had his third blown save in 19 opportunities.

Braves closer Craig Kimbrel (2 - 1) struck to Hunter Pence to end the ninth with runners on first and second. Pence drove in two runs.

Gregor Blanco pinch led the ninth inning with a simple Kimbrel, but he was thrown trying to steal second base. Replays indicate white have beat the tag. The call turned out to be important because white would have scored from second when Tony Abreu doubled for his third hit.

Gaudin gave four runs on eight hits over five innings.

Pence had a single execution score in three racing Giants third inning and a fifth time two sacrifice fly. Mike Minor Braves Starter gave up five runs, four cattle, seven hits and a walk in six innings.

San Francisco Javier Lopez's relievers, Jean Machi and Jeremy Affeldt combined scoreless three innings before Romo gave two runs, one win, two hits and two walks.

Homer from B.J. Upton long of the second landed above half way up to the bottom of the left field seats.

Homer for two runs from Upton to centerfield in the sixth drove in Brian McCann, who doubled. Short Homer to lead San Francisco 5-4 and Gaudin called offside.

Simmons made two mistakes after starting the day with only four errors for the season. Error of fielding from Simmons in song of Abreu provoked an unearned one in the fifth. Buster Posey followed with a double score of execution, which drove on Torres. Abreu scored ball fly of pennies to the field of law.

Simmons made a wild throw after fielding an infield only by Juan Pérez to open the sixth, but minor threw out of the jam.

The Giants took the lead in the third inning with three runs on four hits, including consecutive double of RBI by Torres and Abreu. Pence added a single execution score.

Notes: The last time that Gaudin allowed more than one homer in a game was September 25, 2010, the Yankees against Boston. ... Pence has a streak of seven games and RBIs in four games straight batting. ... Braves RHP Brandon Beachy, recovering from the 2012 elbow ligament replacement surgery, had been on target to make his debut in 2013 on Tuesday before having sensitivity in the elbow. Beachy had an MRI on Saturday and said that testing showed that it has only inflammation and no structural damage. ... The series ends on Sunday night when it faces Giants RHP Tim Lincecum Braves RHP Julio Teherán.

Scarlett Johansson didn't look anything like her glammed up, red carpet self at LAX Wednesday -- and we mean that in the best way possible.

The actress opted for casual in skin tight black jeans, sneakers, a sweatshirt and a cap, but looked every bit as gorgeous as we know her to be.

Johansson, 28, recently fended off rumors that she's engaged to boyfriend Romain Dauriac after being spotted with significant bling on her ring finger.
