NFL insider weighs in on how Patriots-Matthew Judon standstill will likely end
An NFL insider shared his prediction on how the New England Patriots and Matthew Judon contract saga will likely end. And it doesn’t sound like things will end positively for Judon.

He has been a big part of the Patriots’ pass-rushing attack since his arrival to New England in 2021. It doesn’t sound...

A Surprising Finding on Massachusetts Charter Schools
Urban charters raise test scores, nonurban charters lower them. Both boost college graduation. An influential 2013 study found that attending an urban charter school in Massachusetts boosts standardized test scores, but attending a nonurban one reduces them—despite the fact that both sets of schools are popular enough with families to hold admissions lotteries. This finding is congruent with other lottery-based research on charters, as well as observational evidence showing gains on test scores for many urban charters but few differences in other settings (see here for a review). However, schools influence much more than just test scores. Now that sufficient time has passed, we can return to the same sample of Massachusetts charter schools and study their impact on college enrollment and graduation.
