Roger Casement: “A nation is a very complex thing. It never does consist; it never has consisted solely of men of one blood or one single race – it is like a river, rising in the hills with many sources, many converging streams, that become one great stream.” (1905)

A year ago today, John Eustace took charge of his first game in charge of Derby County — and lost 4-0 to Queens Park Rangers. It left his side third from bottom, with a lot of work to do to avoid relegation.
A year on, a 2-0 win against Swansea City means his side are firmly in play-off contention.

Is Milan Cortina's hottest prize a medal?
To some, it’s actually Tina and Milo, the two mascot stoats representing the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The stuffed animals are flying off the shelves and the best way to get one may be to win an Olympic medal. Talk about motivation 😅

Pats brought Thayer Munford on the field for one snap in the first quarter as a sixth offensive lineman, picked up 21 yards, and then never used a sixth lineman again the rest of the game.
The NE offensive game plan was puzzling. 79.1% of snaps in 11 personnel. No game over 70% in regular season. Got dime 53% of the time but still couldn't run.
Zero snaps in empty to try to spread the Seahawks out. Season-low in 21 personnel, 1.5%. One snap in Jumbo.
Just let Seattle play its game.
