Getting under the luxury tax has been a source of anxiety for the Bulls since the passage of the new collective bargaining agreement, which features a dread “repeater tax” for teams that are over the tax threshold for three out of four years. The Deng deal gets the Bulls comfortably under that line. There is also a future pick coming from the Kings through the Cavs....

While Wilder attempts to swat that fly, as he put it, he knows he’s a lion in the heavyweight landscape. With his decision to stay put with Showtime, and Anthony Joshua fighting on DAZN, the chances for the highly-anticipated clash to decide an undisputed heavyweight champion of the world will likely be delayed. The same goes for a Wilder-Tyson Fury rematch, which was already delayed and scrapped, altogether, once the latter signed with Top Rank/ESPN....

The answer is these are not the same measures. The second measure counts only generated revenue, which the NCAA defines like this:...
Fans began to grow restless. Was a career MLS-er rapidly approaching 30 really deserving of the roster spot and playing time being invested in him? Was he a one-dimensional hack getting exposed when the team wasn't tailored to his strengths? Public support for Wondolowski began to plummet outside Northern California. And then came a friendly against Guatemala, and Wondo broke his duck. After that, a misspelled name on the back of his jersey and a hat trick against Belize, then a brace against Cuba, and the San Jose Earthquakes star found himself exiting the CONCACAF Gold Cup with a winner's medal and share of the Golden Boot....
