#BBCNFL Brady, Brees, Peyton Manning, Marino, Favre, Rivers, Roethlisberger, Stafford?!
Didn’t look it up (as you will clearly know if I got any wrong!)

To anyone alarmed by the prospect of too few nurses at work in the UK today:
There are too few NHS nurses at work EVERY day.
If nurses continue to be paid less than they deserve, this will get WORSE; more will burn out, retire, leave, & indeed decide not to train.

This morning on @BBCr4today Stephen Powis MD of NHSE reminded us that 11% of NHS posts are unfilled. Imagine a football team starting every match with 10 players. Still a game of football, sure. Would they ever win? Would their players stay?!

The most important thing in ICU is not the ventilator or the drugs. It is the care of a skilled and dedicated nurse. They are what makes the biggest difference.

- definitely the better for the lack of a 20m gap between the teams.
Who dictates that @AllBlacks get that when they do the haka?
Is it @WorldRugby ?
It doesn’t need to be sanitised;
no-one’s going to get hurt!?!
I do actually feel sorry for Liz Truss.
The current problems aren’t entirely her fault. They’re not entirely her responsibility. But just enough of both to make her the most obvious of a long list of scapegoats and causes.
I don’t blame her for hoping she could fix things… 1/2
the very idea…
Someone somewhere probably is actually muttering this under their breath with a hint of sincerity.
I mean. If the economy picked up a bit and things felt a bit calmer, I wouldn’t complain.
What’s it called when you keep losing bets, so you keep placing more?!!
@JoshFwd any intel on what (on earth) the wisest option will be to vote for in East Devon btw? I don’t think the lady who came second last time is running, which is fair enough but leaves a void that should at least intrigue you?!
Anyone else find themselves looking here en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opin… every day or two, then copying the most recent numbers into here electionpolling.co.uk/swingo… ? Premature of course but it is faintly mesmerising…
@DanHanzus just catching up with the PRIDEcast & wanted to say that your magisterial “Let’s pace ourselves with the airing of grievances” not only raised a smile but was a quintessential remark from the chair by you.
I had this thought about writing music
Although perhaps it applies to most things:
Experts are hugely important
But most of them aren’t very interesting;
It’s up to the rest of us to turn knowledge and expertise into something wise, beautiful, inspiring or fascinating.
@JuniorRowing just listening to your debate re: how to make rowing an interesting spectator sport.
For tv, towpath/grandstand & competitors alike, the answer is deceptively simple: Short races.
300-700m I’d say.
More round-robins, esp 4s/8s.
Just imagine it. The roar. Every time.

A Supreme Court where 5 of 6 conservative justices were appointed by GOP presidents who initially lost popular vote & confirmed by senators representing minority of Americans are taking away voting rights & reproductive rights from millions of Americans. This is not democracy
@AroundTheNFL @DanHanzus @greggrosenthal @MarcSessler @EricaTamposi Hey guys, I’ve been wondering when and what to say. Just catching up with the March 1st 101FA ep. I hope you can take enduring inspiration from @ChrisWesseling ‘s life and not be unravelled by his death.

We are your audience & we come to you for who you are as people 1st, what you think about life 2nd, & what you think about football 3rd. If football was the thing, we’d probably be listening to other podcasts.
So stick together, stay strong, & speak from the heart. Thank you.
... it feels like the right time to add that I don’t really listen to other American football podcasts because yours is the best (with a big honourable mention to anything featuring @Carlsonsports ) 👍
