Answer by John DeMarchi , CEO/Founder of social media and strategy firm Social Czars Whoa! Seattle has a tremedous defense, and shut down a historically great offense, but let’s pump the brakes here. 1. The 1985 Bears gave up 10 points TOTAL in three playoff games, pitching two shutouts, and only allowing a TD after taking a 44-3 lead over the Pats in the Super Bowl. That team had a much better front seven than Seattle – 64 sacks, 72 the prior season, too, an NFL record that still stands....

Lionel Messi has amongst the greatest horoscopes amongst all footballers to have walked on the face of the planet.

The Texans, however, went all in and gave the quarterback a $72 million deal with $37 million guaranteed in the first two years. In turn, Osweiler has provided horrible play, and looks like he shouldn’t even be on the field. He is the only quarterback in NFL history to have three games in a single season with 200 passing yards or fewer with at least 40 attempts in each game, and we’re not even at the midway point yet....

iOS and Viruses In a technical sense, a virus is a piece of code that replicates itself by creating a copy within another piece of software on your computer. But, unlike Windows computers that have a very open file system, iOS doesn’t allow one app direct access to the files of another app, preventing any would-be virus from replicating. If you visit a website and see a message pop up informing you that your device is infected by a virus, you should immediately exit the website....

While a recession is technically a contraction of gross domestic product (GDP) across two consecutive quarters, some experts say such a definition is too simplified. A government report has shown there was a 1.6 percent decrease annually in real gross domestic product (GDP) in the first quarter of 2022, with factors pointing to further negative growth in Q2.
