Mark Gastineau, even though the field performance has long been over, his adventure and excitement around the sport has not faded away. According to reports, he would be shown confronting Brett Favre at a Chicago sports memorabilia show last year, in an upcoming ESPN documentary, that will cover the life and lies of top personalities like Gastineau, from the sport. Did Mark Gastineau carry a grudge against Brett Favre? Gastineau is reportedly angry at Favre for giving Michaeil Strahan an easy sack in the January of 2002, which reportedly cost Gastineau his single-season record in NFL. This was the fundamental of the two-decade-long grudge of Gastineau and Brett Favre, something that will visually come to the public eye after the docuseries is finally released by ESPN.

Ceat’s acquisition of Michelin's off highway tyre (OHT) brand Camso will help the RPG Group company boost margins by raising the share of these more-profitable tyres in the overall mix to 25-30% from the current 15%, Anant Goenka, vice chairman, RPG Enterprises told ET. Ceat signed a definitive agreement with the French tyre maker for acquiring the Camso brand for $225 million, the company said in a statement on Friday. OHT includes agriculture tyres, harvester tyres, power sports tracks and material handling tyres. “The acquisition will be margin accretive for us. The margins of this business are higher than the CEAT margins,” said Goenka. The entire category (OHT) margins are fairly high—at 15-20% compared to 12% for regular tyres, especially those that are operating or have the manufacturing in South Asia, he said.

Viswanathan Anand was invited to address a gathering in Bengaluru. The attendees were not chess players or coaches or sports administrators. In fact, it had nothing to do with the sport of chess. Yet, it would turn out to be a gamechanger for chess in India. WestBridge Capital, the Bengaluru-based investment firm that had invited Anand, wanted him to talk to their investors about pattern recognition and its applicability in chess and business. It’s safe to assume that those investors went home better-informed, but chess was definitely the biggest benefactor. During a conversation, Sandeep Singhal, the cofounder and managing partner of WestBridge Captial, suggested to Anand that they should “do something together… for Indian chess”.“He said, ‘let’s think about it’ and then a few months later he came back with an idea of setting up an elite fellowship, where we take the sort of brightest young individuals and try to help them with that last bit that can be the gap between someone who’s best in India to someone who’s best in the world,” Singhal says.
