I know it's a blast from the past, still caused me a bit of nostalgia: https://thesefootballtimes.co/2019/10/03/overweight-lazy-and-brilliant-the-career-of-werder-bremen-legend-ailton/

I am on an intense insanity schedule myself... 4 days on and 4 days off.. I will be glad when I can finally retire from work altogether

Uncovering secrets of mystery civilization in Saudi Arabia A team of researchers is carrying out the first in-depth archaeological survey of part of Saudi Arabia, in a bid to shed light on a mysterious civilisation that once lived there. The Nabataean culture left behind sophisticated stone monuments, but many sites remain unexplored. The rock-strewn deserts of Al Ula in Saudi Arabia are known for their pitch-black skies, which allow stargazers to easily study celestial bodies without the problem of light pollution. But the region is becoming even more attractive for archaeologists. A long-lost culture known as the Nabataean civilisation inhabited the area starting from around 100 BC and persisted for some 200 years. While the Nabataeans ruled their empire from the stunning city of Petra in Jordan, they made Hegra (the modern Mada'in Saleh) in Al Ula their second capital. Now, archaeologists are planning to carry out the first in-depth survey of a chunk of land here that's roughly the size of Belgium. The large international team of more than 60 experts has started work on an initial, two-year project to survey the core area of 3,300 sq km in north-western Saudi Arabia. This is the first time such a large area of more or less scientifically uncharted territory has been systematically investigated. FULL REPORT

The Iowa hawkeyes built that hospital for sick children only... during the end of every 1st quarter, the fans turn around and wave at the kids and family and as a neutral it brings joy to see those innocent kids waving back and having a smile, like they haven't in a while and to some it may be the last big cheese smile they have a chance to enjoy, that is worth the ticket price itself . Not being a pro sports enables college sports to have a deeper connection with fans than just with their money. The opposing team putting the score to the side and allowing a blind player to hold the ball for a kicker or allowing a five time cancer survivor be the designated holder for the place kicker makes all fans of the sport love it even more. The atmosphere while playing metallica's enter sandman as the whole stadium is being shaken by all the home fans as virginia tech enters the field and the navy versus army game are part of my bucket list. I enjoyed the MLS game i attended and although it was packed with many loyal fans... a good portion is there for the city of Atlanta and not necessarily the team and most big cities have fans like that. Maybe one or two generations of passionate MLS fans will start creating a connection that will pave the way but college football is the closest thing to what football means to the rest of the world..

A good first show from AEW. Nothing spectacular but something to build on. @Devil-Dick Willie will love seeing how Moxley "ddt'd" Omega on a glass table. WWE had all basis covered with there big surprise on NXT this evening. The first round has gone to them.

VAR should ref the match relaying instructions to the on field official

Worlds gone fucking mad. Cant even have some light-hearted banter with a teammate now incase some wet wipe gets offended.

A photo of Battle Abbey(that I took when down South), which was built on the site where the battle of Hastings in 1066 took place.

A baby zebra with a very unusual and completely beautiful genetic mutation has been spotted on the Maasai Mara Reserve in Kenya. Finally settles the age old debate of whether a zebra is a black horse with white stripes or the other way around
