Tottenham fan view: Spurs under the radar? Not anymore
Sadly for the Argentine coach, he’ll have a hard time underplaying this victory or tempering the joy and, now, expectations of the home support. That’s not a performance that inspires restraint.
Chelsea were the runaway juggernaut, unable to be stopped, hurtling toward inevitable Premier League glory. But, just like Guardiola’s Man City were dislodged from their unshakable groove back in early-October, Pochettino found a method of toppling the giant.

Real question for Jim Caldwell: Does he get a new contract?
The Lions have confirmed that head coach Jim Caldwell will be back next season, and that’s no surprise: Playoff teams rarely fire their head coaches, and when they do it’s usually a team that has fallen short of expectations (like in John Fox’s last year with the Broncos, when a Super Bowl contender lost its first playoff game), not a team that has exceeded expectations like this year’s Lions.
What the Lions haven’t said, however, is what the status of Caldwell’s contract is.
Caldwell is wrapping up his third season on a four-year deal he signed in 2014. If the Lions announce this offseason that they’ve signed him to a long-term contract extension, then case closed: Caldwell is the Lions’ guy, and G.M. Bob Quinn believes the right coach is in place for the long run.
But if the Lions either make Caldwell coach next year in the final year of his contract (which is rare in the NFL) or give him only a token one-year extension, that’s a sure sign that Caldwell is coaching for his job in 2017. Only a long-term extension can give Caldwell any real job security beyond next season.
Of course, Caldwell and his team have the opportunity to make all this moot in the coming weeks: If the Lions get to the Super Bowl, they’d certainly extend Caldwell in the offseason. If the Lions lose in Seattle on Saturday, Caldwell will still coach the team in 2017, but he may be out of work a year from now.

Medium lays off a third of its staff as it searches for a new business model
Publishing platform Medium announced today that it had laid off 50 people — about a third of it staff — amid growing concerns about its advertising-based model. The company said it would explore alternatives to pageview-based advertising in the hopes that it can develop a lucrative, sustainable alternative for writers publishers. “While we could continue on our current path — and there is a business case for doing so — we decided that we risk failing on our larger, original mission if we don’t make some proactive changes while we have the momentum and resources to do so,” CEO Ev Williams said in a blog post.
