New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME) has today announced broadcaster, city councillor and iwi leader James Daniels (Ngāi Tahu, Te Arawa, Tuwharetoa and Tainui) is to join Simon Barnett to co-host Newstalk ZB Afternoons from July 13, 2021.
Daniels spent 19 years on the tribal authority Te Runanga o Ngāi Tahu and is currently a Christchurch City Councillor. Last year I was asked to host nine to noon in Canterbury on Coast 105.7FM, said Daniels. It s been busy juggling those roles, but for more than 40 years I ve been involved in broadcasting and my passion for connecting with people remains strong. Being offered this opportunity to be a full-time host nationwide on the biggest radio network in New Zealand is unexpected and extraordinary.
The season of talent acquisition has nearly passed for NFL teams.
Some will go into OTAs and minicamp and determine they need to add a low-priced free agent who are still on the market.
Virtually every single player left unsigned by the end of OTAs is someone hoping to find a job and be paid, not someone who can make a big impact.
There are always a few big-contract guys who slip through the cracks and must take a one-year offer for lesser money.
By and large, teams have their rosters and barring a late unusual trade like the Bears pulled off in 2018 with Khalil Mack, or someone being cut and then added, the rosters will be set.

The Bears are releasing left tackle Charles Leno, sources confirmed Monday, just days after the team appeared to draft his replacement.
The Bears will save $9 million in salary cap space by cutting Leno with a post-June 1 designation. The team needs that money; they had the smallest amount in salary cap space in the NFL entering the draft.
The Bears traded up to take Oklahoma State tackle Teven Jenkins in the second round (39th overall) Friday. General manager Ryan Pace said at the time that Jenkins could play either left or right tackle. Saturday night, when asked directly about Leno’s future, Pace refused to comment.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) The Chicago Bears released veteran left tackle Charles Leno Jr. on Monday.
Leno tweeted that his “time in Chicago has officially come to an end” and called it “a bittersweet day.” He said he will “be rooting for the young guys to succeed” and thanked Bears fans.
The team announced the move later in the day.
Drafted by Chicago in the seventh round in 2014, Leno started every game the past five seasons and 93 in a row dating to 2015. He made the Pro Bowl as an alternate in 2018.
