A New Dawn? In 1962, after a dreadful season Bradford Northern appeared to have found its saviour.

The early 1960s were an awful time for Bradford Northern. In 1962 the club's long suffering supporters thought that they had found the new Odsal 'messiah'

Mostly wrong and no surprise. Why would written press back then presume things in the future that they had little or no grasp of at the time. Why no prediction then about much the quality of written journalism would drop which it has massively. Driven mainly by social media

Everything you need to know about the fair catch kick, football's vestigial tailbone Thursday night, the Chargers made history by converting on a play that hadn't been successful in FORTY SIX YEARS

Last night, my football dreams came true. A play I’ve yelling about online for about a decade happened in an actual NFL game—the first fair catch kick since 1978.

Here’s everything there is to know about this impossibly rare play, the NFL’s vestigial tailbone: open.substack.com/pub/rodgersh...

What Lewis Dodd can bring to the South Sydney Rabbitohs The South Sydney Rabbitohs have signed an English halfback unknown to most NRL fans, so I've looked into his last four games in the Super League to get an idea of what he can add to the team in 2025.

“It’s a big step up from the Super League to the NRL, particularly for a relatively unknown Englishman in a key playmaking position that always carries with it bloated expectations.”

What a draw for @oasst.bsky.social to get a trip to Anfield in the FA Cup - Plenty of scousers there - dream tie for them

Nice Friday night bonus @nflbluesky.bsky.social @chiefs.bsky.social @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social

Best Thing about Thanksgiving Day in USA. More NFL !!!!!! Yes

Great NFL game that Baltimore at Pittsburgh . Two top teams in same division

Guys over 40, but especially guys over 50.

Get a prostate test done. 10,000 men are dying in the UK every year from something preventable.

Ask your GP for a test or buy a cheap PSA test online.

Please, there is zero fucking point in dying because you can't be bothered to do a simple test.

What’s happening with the field goal kickers in the NFL today -some unbelievable misses

Sunday at 6pm. Redzone time -NFL

Thanks to everyone at @prescotcables.bsky.social today. Really helpful with everything and it was a really decent game against Hyde United.
