The current rules are the current rules, but the fact that this isn’t a catch in today’s NFL feels a bit silly.
Well, did he drop it? No. So that means he caught it, right? Well, no. Why? Because the ball shifted in your hands a little bit when you hit the ground.
Ok.

A reminder that welfare spending as a percentage of GDP is at 10.6 % currently and was at 13.5% when the Conservatives were in charge.
55% of claimants are pensioners, most of whom vote Conservative.

For those mocking the PM for going on Gogglebox:
It's for Stand Up to Cancer.
For those mocking his tattoo:
It's the Manchester Bee, done after the Manchester Arena Attack, where 22 died and 100's more were injured.

Robert Saleh might not be a technical offensive wunderkind but no one can deny his team-building and leadership acumen!
7 weeks into Robert Saleh tenure: Well just lost a fight at practice. Time to shoot my teammate with a gun

Absolute bollocks. And as someone who knows the system from personal experience, it’s humiliating and degrading. You don’t just turn up with a sore elbow and get a car.
Stop spouting such absolute mince.

As a disabled child who was not magically healed by the onset of adulthood, what the fuck are you wittering on about?

Helen, Helen, Helen
Let me explain this to you in plain and exceedingly simple English.
Disabled kids are most likely to have been born with their disabilities or conditions (as I was). I know this might be shocking to you Helen, but we don't just stop being disabled at 18. Being born with a disability is usually a lifetime deal.
I tell you what, care to swap? You can have my cerebral palsy (and the benefits that you say come with it) and I'll take your fully functioning extremities and become an MP. Not a Tory one though, because I'm not a horrible bastard.
By the way, if you accept my offer, good luck trying to wipe your backside, put your own clothes on, wash any part of your body or doing any sort of cookery (since you won't be able to hold a knife properly) are, and one more thing, forget about rolling yourself over in bed at night, you'll have to get somebody to help you with that as well. But yeah, apart from that, a lifetime on benefits is really fucking easy isn't it?

They're planning to put people on the sex offenders register because some poorly bad iphone film between two consenting adults might have the word "daddy" in it, yet they're protecting David Walliams from being named as an abuser in the Guardian. Mad country we live in.
A “well-known” individual is seeking a High Court injunction to stop ITN, and The Guardian from naming him and publishing serious claims about his conduct over several years, including sexual misconduct.
The court heard he submitted medical evidence stating that publication would “almost certainly” lead him to attempt to take his own life. He also claims that the thought of publication has already led to two suicide attempts.
He denies the claims. A trial later this month will decide whether ITN and The Guardian can be permanently barred from identifying him and reporting on the allegations.
What do you think?

The tabloids have invented this alternate-universe Britain where you phone the DWP, tell them you’ve got a peanut allergy or a sore finger, and suddenly they’re paying your rent and buying you a free car - and somehow, people believe that’s how it actually works.

Malik Mustapha with the #49ers safety special: come downhill really fast as the ball carrier runs around you.

Removing Inheritance Tax on first homes is a big tax break for the top 5% of wealthiest families, almost all of them living in London and the South East, paid for by everybody else.

hey so don't DO THIS to people who care about you. Please. I once got ghosted by my bestie for 12 months a second time and decided it just wasn't fucking worth it

I'll look forward to @Carra23 podcast on Phil Foden who's done fuck all for years "a future Ballon D'Or winner" I'll also look forward to him talking about Cole Palmer who's done fuck all for about 12 months who he once compared to Gerrard. It's any opportunity to shit on LFC.

The #49ers were firing on all cylinders in the Week 1 Australian win over the #LARams, and the game grades reflect just that. #FTTB (@jporterdoes) ninernoise.com/report-card-g…

I think Raheem Morris has something with this dime personnel package. Greenlaw comes off for Jack Jones. Lenoir and Stout play in the slot. You take so much pressure off the safeties by having an extra coverage player. Can also be more aggressive up front. This is gonna stick.

Darrell Luter Jr. being propped up in the last 24 hours has been wild. When did he all of a sudden become this intriguing talent? He’s not good.
