Jack Grealish Has Rediscovered His Excellence

Jack Grealish Has Rediscovered His Excellence
It is fair to say that Jack Grealish's time at Manchester City did not go as well as he must've hoped. It is also fair to say that getting paid lots of money to win the Premier League several times over, and to have been a mainstay in a team that won the Champions League, is...

Try as hard as I can I still have distinct flows and more than one place where I edit. I think that's a consequence of working on WordLand. I have to use it for serious writing, or it doesn't work. Maybe I can find a way to merge flows, but not at the moment. I still have to do some copy/pasting.

The Chiefs Couldn’t Stop A Quarterback Who Fell On His Butt

The Chiefs Couldn’t Stop A Quarterback Who Fell On His Butt

The leftist British rock group Chumbawamba once sang the immortal lyrics "I get knocked down, but I get up again." Well, on Monday night against the Chiefs, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence fell down, tried to get up again, fell down, and then got up and ran for the game-winning touchdown. Catchy!

It really doesn't seem possible, looking at the freeze-frame above, that Jacksonville could have achieved from this scenario anything better than a chance at another play. Instead, the leader of the now 4-1 Jags persevered until the end zone, delivering a victory that equaled the team's win total from all of last year—and a defeat that means Kansas City is already guaranteed a worse record than they finished with in 2024.
