in t s u J . s V t l o B in a Us in GatlNext, let's look at their statistics, Usain

Can’t Catch me I’m The Gingerbread Man

Two of the greatest runners of our generation, Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin. They have both won different races in various events. But who is the better runner? First lets look at their winnings, Justin Gatlin has one olympic gold medal, and two silver and two bronze olympic medals, so five medals in total. On the other hand, Usain Bolt has 9 Olympic gold medals, and has never gotten a silver or bronze in all the Olympic races he has been in. In world championships Justin Gatlin has won two gold medals and four silver medals, whereas Bolt has a stunning eleven gold medals and two silver medals. And in total Gatlin has five gold medals, six silver medals, and two bronze medals which is pretty impressive, but Bolt blows him out of the water with twenty four gold medals and five silver medals. Usain Bolt has clearly won more competitions that Justin Gatlin.

Bolt has a top speed of 27.8 mph. Whereas Justin Gatlin’s top speed is 26.7 mph. In the recent 2016 Rio Olympic Games, they faced off in the 100-meter race. Usain Bolt won gold with 9.81 seconds, and Justin Gatlin won silver with 9.89. So in the final showdown Bolt beat Gatlin. Usain Bolt has no major taints in his history, and his races have been clean and well earned. But Justin has been caught doping, he has failed two drug tests and has been banned from two races because of that. The facts have been presented, but an opinion has not been made. It is up to you, the reader, to decide who is a better runner.

ts io r t a P . s V s k w a h a Se This season the Patriots quarterback is Tom Brady, and is very good. He has won NFL MVP twice. That is more MVP awards than Russell Wilson, the Seahawks quarterback, has ever won. Also Tom Brady has a higher completion percentage than Russell Wilson. Tom Brady has a percentage of 68.9% while Russell Wilson has a percentage is 65.3%. Tom Brady has only been sacked 11 times while Russell Wilson has been sacked 29. Another rival is Richard Sherman and Malcolm Butler. This season Malcolm Butler has 50 tackles compared to Richard SHerman’s 47 tackles. Richard Sherman has zero sacks while Malcolm Butler has one sack. Richard Sherman also has zero forced fumbles. But Malcolm Butler has one forced fumble. Malcolm Butler has fourteen passes defended, while Richard Sherman only has ten passes defended. Even though Malcolm Butler has better stats overall, Richard Sherman has had more interceptions than Malcolm Butler; four interceptions compared to only two. So this year the New England Patriots are better than the Seattle Seahawks.

. s V s r e i l a v Ca Warriors

This season the top contenders for the NBA Finals Champions are the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors. Both teams have a big rivalry. These teams have amazing superstar point-guards, Kyrie Irving and Stephen Curry. Kyrie and Steph are arguably the best point guards in the NBA. Steph Curry a two time MVP for a reason. Last year Curry’s offensive play was incredible averaging about 30 points a game and a three-point percentage of about 45 percent. His crazy shot ability led his team to the current NBA win-loss record at 73-9, beating Michael Jordan’s 95-96 Bulls at 72-10. Kyrie Irving has been a large part of his team’s success these past playoffs, as he averaged about 25 points per game, with a three-point percentage of 44 percent. Kyrie as much of a fantastic player that he is, [ 2 ] offensively he isn’t as good as Steph.


. s V s r e i l a v Ca Warriors

Another rival for these two teams are Lebron James and Kevin Durant. Lebron, also known as King James, is considered an equal to the GOAT if not superior. James is a 4 time MVP, while Durant has only won 1 MVP. James is a 12 time, while Durant is a 7 time all-star. James has won 3 NBA championships, but Durant hasn’t won one. These are some reasons why he is called King James. He is the top contributor on his team, most of the time scoring the most points and having the most assists. Kevin Durant will usually have less points and assists than his other teammates, such as Steph. Lebron is obviously better than Kevin Durant. [ 2 ]

Ma Hug tt hes GS vs. P

Overall the American brute, Matt Hughes is superior to Georges-Saint Paul. Being in the UFC longer, GSP is known for being predictable, which Hughes uses as an advantage. Hughes is wild and impossible to predict, hence the name short fuse. Better stats, more experience, and not susceptible to tricks. In conclusion, he is not

Gareth Bale is also one of the main forwards and occasionally midfielder for Real Madrid. He has scored 26 goals alone, while also getting 15 assists. He has been playing pro since he was 16 yrs old. He makes about 319,000 dollars. He has an incredibly low crossing rates and low defensive contribution. He made up for it by reaching a top speed of 24.85 miles per hour during a game.

ownership by scoring 39 goals this season as well as 22 assists. He has been playing since he was 13 and makes about 12 million USD. Although This amazing player has a low fear factor it doesn’t stop him from being one of the greatest. He was also the 2014 and 2015 ballon d’or nominee. Many people also say he is the best looking Barca player. Neymar has reached a top speed of 24.48 miles per hour while in a game.

Bale

Through this comparison we can see that the obviously better player is Neymar due to goal rates, assist rates, and overall player stats. Bale is faster than Neymar by barely half a mile and so he cannot claim to be better. Neymar also makes more than Bale by almost triple. Both players are holding number 11 on their rivaling teams for La Liga. Bale is although getting better and is increasing rates so…..

Audi Q5 vs Lexus RX

First, a little background on both. The Lexus RX was first

It’s no secret that the SUV market is quite popular in America. Best sellers such as the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4 have consistently been sales leaders for more than 10 years. However, there is a separate market for those who desire a luxury SUV. This segment includes the best from BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Porsche, and many more. Today, let’s take a look at two very popular models, the Audi Q5 and the Lexus RX.

Background

released as a 1998 model, and it instantly became a bestseller for the company. The same still holds true today, with Lexus selling 44,279 and 49,412 units in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Now, for the underdog, the Audi Q5. The Audi Q5 was released as a 2008 model, and it also became a bestseller for the company. In 2015, Audi sold 52,006 units. Until August 2016, Audi sold 31,238 units, and that number is bound to increase.

Lexus is known to build reliable, nice driving vehicles. However, they have no sporty driving characteristics, despite the very polarizing looks. tested. First, let’s talk some numbers. The base RX350 starts at $43,995, and AWD is a $1400 option. The F-Sport model, tested here, starts at $49,895. AWD is a $1400 option on this trim also The hybrid model, called the RX450H, starts at $53,035. This is pretty much in line with the rest o the competition. The interior is a work of art, wit soft leather all around, and your choice of wood o aluminium. Now, for the driving dynamics. This car still doesn’t drive sporty. It’s soft suspension tuning doesn’t inspire much confidence in corners and although most people wouldn’t complain, it could use more power. 6.9 seconds from 0-60 is o the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to speed. In conclusion, the Lexus RX is a great car for those who favor Let’s talk numbers for the Audi. The Q5 starts at $40,900, almost $3,000 less than thecomfort over performance.

Lexus RX

RX. The Q5 with the 3.0t supercharged engine starts at $46,400. The one tested is the 2.0t Premium Plus, with a tech package. The interior is a very nice place to be, especially with the huge panoramic sunroof which goes all the way to the back seat. However, the infotainment screen is somewhat outdated, compared to the 12.3 inch unit of that in the RX. So, how does it drive? Well, it drives wonderfully. The 2.0t engine provides great acceleration. It feels much faster than its 6.9 second 0-60 time would suggest, due to the torque from the turbocharger. It handles great too. You can throw it into a corner, and it stays planted on its feet.

Audi Q5
