I got a question about whether the Eagles are built to come back from a deficit because they are so run-centric.

I have no idea because the Eagles have only run offensive plays while down by more than a TD in two games this year: Week 4 (TB) and Week 13 (BAL). They came back to win the second.

Maybe I'm deluded but I think the Steelers can give me a 40th birthday present against the Ravens. Although the final score blew out last time, we could have been ahead at half time had the fumbles landed differently. We weren't as far off as it looked. #HereWeGo

When billionaires go rogue, it's time to organise | Good Law Project Elon Musk has declared war on Labour. Collective action is the only response, says Grace Blakeley.

"Culture war politics provides a kind of Trojan horse for billionaires like Musk, ensuring the election of rightwing governments that can sneak in inequality-enhancing economic policies through the back door."

Only place I've seen it is on Gamepass. My guess is it's outside Sky's contact being effectively Monday night ESPN game. Don't understand why 5 aren't therefore showing it though.

Just heard a caller on Eddie Trunk point point out that a million seconds is 11 days but a billion seconds is 32 years.

Maybe this is an insane suggestion but how about Amorim plays Dalot at right wing back and Amad/Antony at left wing back and try putting some crosses in the box. #mufc

A lot of Bears fans think they would have made the playoffs with Jayden Daniels. If we’ve learned anything from the resurrected careers of Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, it’s that situations matter. Daniels situation is a big reason he’s blossomed. Caleb’s situation is big reason he has not.

If Callan Rydz is already combing his hair all the way forward from the back of his head at 26, he just needs to accept the inevitable and shave it off. #darts

Short term injuries and two horrible moments by Wilson in this game. I'm not throwing the towel in on the season yet. Losing the division lead makes things a lot harder, but #Steelers can still win a playoff game this year.

Big difference in the game. Steelers forced two fumbles but recovered neither. Ravens forced one, recovered, it stopped points and they finished their drive after. Close game, these things count double. Need an early score & turnover 2nd half. #herewego

Russ has to slide there. He hasn't got it in him to take it all. Huge missed opportunity.

Steelers can't win this game if they don't fall on those loose balls. Making opportunities but not taking them.

If that injury is as bad as it looked for Dell, then huge credit to him for keeping hold of the ball under that level of pain.

For all of questions surrounding the Chiefs offense this year, Mahomes has a QBR of 89 on third down--2nd in the league. That's been the difference.

Over the last 7 years, he's never fallen outside of the top 3 on third down.

“Our technology requires parasitical theft to be profitable” is a bold gambit

The Waspi women suffered outrageous misogyny, but in poverty-stricken Britain they’re not the top priority | Polly Toynbee The government is right in its decision not to pay the women up to £10.5bn in compensation – it simply can’t afford to Some women born in the 1950s were not adequately warned that they would have to work up to six extra years before drawing their state…

Thames Water to get green light to hike bills by more than a third by 2030 Exclusive: Long-awaited decision by water regulator Ofwat falls short of utility’s requested 59% rise

Abuses will continue.

Thames Water to get green light to hike bills by 33% by 2030, bailout funded by customers. Fleeced again.

Company raising capital from customers who won't own anything.

Sewage dumping, dividends, exorbitant exec pay will continue.
www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Thames Water fined £18m over dividends but granted 35% bills hike by 2030 The ruling falls well short of a 59% bills hike requested by the troubled water company, as it tries to secure a bailout from investors.

Thames Water fined £18.2m for 'unjustified' £131.3m dividend to shareholders.

At the same time OFWAT allows Thames to hike customer bills by 35%.

Capital raised from customers who will own nothing, shareholders will get returns.

Privatisation is a scam.

Hero of the Year almost definitely. What a strong, resilient person she is.

Team of the Year 🍒⚪️
Another trophy for the cabinet. Lovely stuff.

Root got my vote but I think Hodgkinson will win it. Littler will get young personality award. Fingers crossed for Matty Peet in Coach of the Year, because I think the women's sprint cyclists will get Team of the Year. #SPOTY

Only three quarterbacks have won the AFC East this century. Tom Brady, Josh Allen, Chad Pennington.

And Pennington did it for the Jets and Dolphins.

Back Up North intrigued me when I opened up my Forty 20 today. I've not even read your Rugby League book review of the year yet and you've got me buying books!

I think Peet might get coach of the year award, but team award will go to the women sprint cyclists.

Matt Peet details huge off-field aims after Wigan heroes won the lot MATT Peet put smiles on faces in Wigan as he masterminded their way to an awesome foursome of trophies – but knew they would not stay long. He knew for many it would be soon back to ‘constant battl…

Another example of what is so great about Matty Peet. He just gets it.

Mahomes missing the Netflix Christmas Day game because he got hurt in the middle of a three-games-in-11-days stretch would be the kind of thing that is so obvious but that you never expect to actually happen to the NFL

STAT ALERT: Players who have made their Test debut for England men this year have taken 156 wickets (Atkinson 52, Bashir 49, Carse 27, Hartley 22, Hull 3, Bethell 3). Previous record for this stat: 85 (West Indies in 1948, & England in 2003 - Jimmy Anderson's debut year).

I would prefer if these United strikers had more pleasant celebrations. Højland with the slit throat, Zirkzee with the machine gun. No thanks lads. (But, good strikers goal)
