In the Kansas City Chiefs training camp, there are a few reservations as to what the status is on the health of quarterback Matt Cassel, who suffered a knee injury at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks.
The quarterback, who arrived with the stellar contract for the Chiefs after having had a successful season in 2008 when he replaced New England quarterback Tom Brady, was constantly being pressured during the game, played during Week 3 of the preseason, and the Seattle Seahawks defensive line sacked him a grand total of four times, one of those times being the play in which he was injured.

Throughout the United States, the New York Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys are symbols of tradition, champions, and money.
These two American giants don’t only have this in common. They both also moved to new and much more spectacular stadiums. But the most striking similarity between these two stadiums that both cost over one billion dollars each, is that they are both facing criticism and questioning concerning structural errors.
The Yankees realized that the amount of homeruns in their new stadium increased dramatically. The reason for this, as outlined by AccuWeather back in June, was that the shape and height of the right field wall allowed for more home runs. 20% of the home runs scored would not have been home runs in the old stadium.
