🚨🚨| Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler has introduced a 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐓 𝐅𝐈𝐕𝐄-𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃 𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄 in training! 😳🥶
When his players lose possession, they must sprint to try and win the ball back within 𝐅𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐒.
If a player fails to sprint, Hürzeler stops training and makes the 𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 run as punishment! 🏃💀
Brighton currently sit 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃 in the Premier League. 🔥

I remember lying on my bed in my little bedroom at my father’s house. The room was dimly lit, with most of the light coming from my laptop screen.
I remember asking God to take me out of this world. I told Him that even if He did it slowly, I wouldn’t mind.
It was my birthday in 2011, and almost no one remembered.
A couple of years earlier, I’d dropped out of university. My friends were beginning to graduate, and nothing seemed to be working out for me.
I remember going through some difficult financial times and placing my hand on my old desktop computer, telling myself, “This is my ticket.” I spent most of my days teaching myself how to code, hoping to build the next Google.
But there I was, with little money, almost no social life, and struggling with acne. I didn’t feel particularly good about myself.
I remember feeling like life had passed me by. I was hopeless. And I really did want God to end my life.
Today is my birthday again.
And just yesterday, on the eve of my birthday, I was at Uganda Innovation Week, speaking about AI and some of the work I’ve been doing with Nsimbi and LugandaGPT.
Looking back, I can’t help thinking about that young man lying on his bed fifteen years ago.
I wish he knew what was ahead.
I’m grateful that God didn’t heed that little prayer I made fifteen years ago.

Blake Griffin signed a five-year, $173 million contract with the Clippers. About seven months later they traded him to Detroit, and in 2021 the Pistons bought him out with more than $75 million still owed.
In July 2017 he agreed to that deal, reported by ESPN at $173 million. The official figure later cited was $171.175 million. On January 29, 2018 the Clippers sent him to the Pistons.
He made the All-Star team in Detroit in 2018-19 and averaged 24.5 points a game. His numbers then fell after further injuries.
On March 5, 2021 he was owed $36.8 million for that season and held a $38.96 million player option for 2021-22. The sides agreed to a buyout. He returned $13.3 million, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. ESPN's Bobby Marks put the remaining cap hits at about $32.7 million and $29.8 million. He then signed with Brooklyn for the veteran's minimum, reported at $1,229,676 for the rest of the season.
On The Rich Eisen Show he described how Detroit ended it. "They just came to me and said, hey, listen, we're going in a different direction. We were like, this is a pretty much a full rebuild." He said vice chairman Arn Tellem told him, "We're going to sit you some. But you can kind of do whatever you want." He went on, "We all felt it was best to let these guys move forward and play these young guys, which they wanted to do, and work something out that benefited both of us and moving on."
Did the Clippers and the Pistons misread the contract, or did the injuries just close it out?
