Schefter reckons it's unlikely to happen before the Draft.

Watching this sort of TV requires suspension of belief etc etc, but surely it's not just me that is a bit at the New Republic transporting Gideon in a solitary, unescorted shuttle, and apparently not even noticing that he didn't arrive where he was meant to?

Maybe if Rodgers was actually a Jets player they'd be more inclined to invest resources in helping him QB their team.

What makes you think the Westminster government would do anything more than shrug and move on? They are not about to go altering the EA to accommodate a Scottish Government Bill, when the likes of Badenoch are already agitating for the EA to be amended to effectively render transpeople legally non-existent. As I said, Jack made it clear at the point of announcing the s35 in the HoC that as far as they were concerned, this was the end of the matter, and it's entirely up to Holyrood to resubmit the bill in a format that is agreeable to WM even though no such format exists. It's entirely unrealistic to expect the Westminster govt to amend a UK Act pertaining to reserved matters just to facilitate a bill pertaining to devolved ones. Isn't going to happen in a million years, even if the WM government of the day wasn't already utterly hostile to the aims of the SG Bill in the first place.

It's the worst part of the NFL year, even more so than the month after the Superbowl. FWIW I think this is an extremely poor college cohort, with the possible exception of the TE class, and I think that this draft will be looked back on through cracks in fingers as a particularly grim year. There will be a few pleasant surprises but I think there will be also an abnormal number of first round busts, so the fact that even the pundits I usually respect the opinion of can't seem to agree on consensus picks isn't surprising me.

That would have gotten absolutely nowhere, as Jack has already said, as far as they're concerned it's up to the SG to resubmit the bill in a format acceptable to Westminster, yet Westminster has no inclination to indicate what format that might take. It would have sat in limbo indefinitely. The only way to have any chance of progressing this before there is a change of government in London is to challenge the S35.

Lions traded Jeff Okudah to the Falcons for a 5th. I genuinely thought he was going to be a lockdown corner in the NFL but it just hasn't happened for him at all. Still young enough that he could turn it around, and I think this might turn out to be a bit of a robbery by Atlanta in the long run.

Pads have looked far more like the team that was expected over the past few days. Wacha and Lugo have both been great so far, but they need Musgrove back in the rotation asap and Blake Snell needs to sort his shit out.

I think that's about screwing with the Colts as much as anything. If they can get the Colts to bite and move up to 3, they lose future capital for not very much gain, and it's not beyond the realms of possibility because AZ would probably trade back in a heartbeat.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand another 'crisps' thread that doesn't make it a full page before the maize and reconstituted potato snacks come out

2 hour game in SD. I like this pitch clock.

I just wish James Hunt was still alive even though he'd despise what F1 has become. It would be hilarious listening to him tear it to shreds though.

If there's a way to make something shit and farcical regardless of circumstance, F1 will find it.

Utterly pointless parade lap. Just call it a race ffs

Whatever happens here, they'll announce in 6 hours from now that the result has been changed. Bank on it.

That's it over as predicted

Odds this finishes under green? Reckon somebody with a hard-on will rambo up the inside and cause a pile-up

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That Merc got a Ferrari engine in the back of it?

Stroll driving like a pensioner again

Should be, because it's not a Red for weather so no concerns with the state of the track

Max to spear goldenballs at the restart and pile them both into the scenery, Nando to drive off into the distance, hopefully
