I've been saying for awhile that this was coming because Iran, the toothless JCPOA or not, was pursuing nukes and they weren't going to get them one way or another. I also said that Israel had people in Iran ready to take it all down.
I would have been fine with control of the NG being returned to Newsom. They did their job quelling the riots so Trump already gets the victory. But if the riots started up again, it's a huge black eye for Newsom.
Israel has been fighting for its survival since its inceptionm with hostile countries all around them. You withdraw support from them, they cease to exist. Is that what you want?
Moore's speed is something that has been sorely lacking. If he can primarily play outside it's a huge win. And both his and Palmer's ability to separate are things that were lacking last year. If they can out-produce the combined output of Hollins/Coleman/Cooper (I suspect Shakir may be the top producer again), they'll be fine.
Of course he was going to show up to mandatory events and practice. If he doesn't he gets fined and loses money. And since he has to show up he might as well practice in order to play well this year and entice a new team to pony up big bucks.
