Watch the best plays made by wide receiver Amari Cooper in 10 seasons in the NFL
Free agency took its annual pause last week as clubs filled needs through the 2025 NFL Draft
The contracts likely won't be lucrative, and some players might wait until closer to training camp to find a home -- passing on offseason workouts -- but there are still jobs to be had. With the date for free-agent signees counting against the compensatory formula having passed
there is one less impediment to clubs inking them
The highest remaining player on Gregg Rosenthal's Top 101 Free Agents list is veteran wideout Amari Cooper
Cooper produced just 297 yards and two TDs in eight regular-season games in Western New York
it's little surprise that the 30-year-old remains a free agent
and injuries could help explain his lack of output down the stretch
The wideout could be buy-low gold for one club
let's look at some potential landing spots for the former first-round pick
Cooper might not be as speedy as he used to be
but he could take on some of the vertical clear-out routes that Harrison ran last year
opening up the second-year player to eat in the intermediate level
Given what the club went through last year with injuries to Olave and Shaheed
in addition to the 31-year-old Cooks' withering production
Cooper spent his last three seasons in Dallas with Kellen Moore -- the Saints' new head coach -- as his offensive coordinator
The familiarity could help get Cooper back on track
even with potentially fewer targets available
the Eagles could let things shake out and see if any youngsters are ready to take on a bigger role
adding a veteran could make sense as we near the season
Philly offers Cooper a legit shot at chasing a ring in 2025 that others on this list cannot

The 2025 NFL Schedule will be released on May 14
which means we'll soon know the dates and times of our upcoming football gauntlet
The preamble to the yearly announcement comes with an annual unenviable task for yours truly: selecting the top 10 games of the season
Picking two handfuls of matchups out of 272 is a gargantuan task
It's like asking to choose only 10 pieces of candy out of an overflowing bin of goodies
I've taken divisional matchups off the table
These rivalry games are notable in their own ways
that constraint means we're cutting out the likes of Ben Johnson's return to Detroit
the renewed Pete Carroll-Jim Harbaugh rivalry

Buffalo and Kansas City have faced off nine times since 2020
and while the Bills have won four straight regular-season clashes
they have yet to get over the postseason hump against Mahomes and Co
The influence this matchup tends to have on playoff seeding adds extra importance to the high-powered showdown between two otherworldly quarterbacks.
Watch the 10 best highlight plays made by the Detroit Lions in the 2024 NFL Season
I can't believe we have to wait months for this game
and the Bengals will remain one of the most entertaining offenses in the NFL
We know Allen brings it regardless of who he's throwing to
This has last one with the ball wins the game written all over it
Jayden Daniels 2.0 should be much more than a Hail Mary highlight
I know I'm recycling teams, but I couldn't leave Lamar Jackson versus Patrick Mahomes on the cutting room floor. Last year's season opener was a big toe from OT or a Ravens game-ending two-point try for the win
and if not for a couple of Jackson miscues and a missed field goal necessitating a furious late-game comeback that fell shy
it could have been a much different outcome
The bout typified the Chiefs season -- hanging on to pull out a one-score victory despite not playing their best
Mahomes and Jackson account for four of the past seven NFL MVP awards

Alabama Crimson Tide offensive lineman Tyler Booker reacts to being drafted No
12 over by the Dallas Cowboys in the 2025 NFL Draft
The Dallas Cowboys had a productive, meat-and-potatoes type of 2025 NFL Draft, bulking up the lines and adding potential pop in the backfield. Jerry Jones' club, however, didn't add a wide receiver to a questionable depth chart behind CeeDee Lamb
Following the draft, Jones noted that the club views Jonathan Mingo, whom it traded for last year
The Cowboys owner also suggested that every avenue wasn't closed to adding a veteran to the group
but the train has not left the station if improvement is needed from what we've got on campus," Jones said Saturday
"I'm looking at the same sheet maybe you got in front of you that I have in front of me and it shows our No
114 pick trade to Carolina for Jonathan Mingo
"My point is that (Cowboys EVP) Stephen (Jones) says it best
but we don't have to be through at receiver in any way
the likelihood of creating competition if we did go out and did something that's important to us in free agency
started making the depth we've got on the roster right now with our possible twos and threes that might be competitive there if we brought someone that was obvious to everybody that he's your second man
I'm just giving you the benefit of the mentality there
According to social media, the Cowboys did add two undrafted free agents to the mix, in Oregon WR Traeshon Holden and Texas Tech product Josh Kelly
who spent four years in Dallas before being traded to Cleveland in 2022
New coach Brian Schottenheimer said he's not fretting about the wideout depth chart
Through this new scheme that we're putting in
and the new influence of (wide receivers coach) Junior Adams coming in and watching the development
Even just seeing the excitement that CeeDee has for some of these guys and the traits that they have
We're committed to always looking for more competition and more players at every spot
we're excited about these young guys and excited for them to take the next step."

and letterer Jim Campbell come together and herald an early start to the horror season with ‘Patra #1 from Dark Horse Comics
the gory origin story of the titular young ‘Patra
the vicious killer desperately seeking her out
This first issue kicks off as many slashers do
with a missing girl seemingly spared from the massacre
a mysterious doctor who knows a bit too much
and a glaring supernatural presence emanating from both the killer and his target
‘Patra #1 leaves a mystery to unravel
as the police discover the horrid crime scene our murderer left behind
The narrative is broken into two voices and places
one being ‘Patra herself who finds herself alone in the woods
This man’s journal acts as the second narrative voice
While I wish some of the exposition had been discovered perhaps a bit later in the story
The split in the story does wonders for establishing both the confusion ‘Petra is feeling as she stumbles through the woods
and showing the reader the true threat and capacity for violence our antagonist has
as the police uncover the horror he has left in his wake
and while you certainly don’t root for him
it isn’t hard to comprehend how he became the monster he is
As someone familiar with Kolins’ works
I had to make sure ‘Patra was indeed one of his creations
I’ve known his typical style as one with limited shadows and very tight line work
which leaves his art feeling very “clean.” None of that is present in ‘Patra
with color that escapes the lines and pops vividly especially when portraying blood
‘Patra and the killer are both the biggest examples of this
as they seem to be styled more brutally than the other characters
allowing them to embody the emotions they feel palpably
The lettering from Campbell also showcases the characters well
Two specific highlights would be the inner monologue from ‘Patra
often filling the page with small incomplete thoughts she is having
whose inner monologue and exposition fills large chunks of expository yet concise thoughts
‘Patra #1 is a mystery thriller to its core
‘Patra herself has yet to do much of anything in the first issue and the villain steals the spotlight
I am excited to see where the next three issues take her

Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Sambit Patra on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Congress
accusing the party of undermining national security and echoing narratives favourable to Pakistan
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Sambit Patra with MoS and Bengal party President Sukanta Majumdar addresses a press conference at Party Headquarter in New Delhi on Friday
Patra slammed the outcome of the recent Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting
alleging that the party’s conduct was more in line with Pakistan’s interests than India’s
they are the Pakistan Working Committee,” he remarked
Patra went on to accuse the Congress of habitually aiding Pakistan’s narrative
the Congress steps in to provide oxygen to its terrorists
Referring to Charanjit Singh Channi’s claim that no surgical strike was carried out on Pakistan after the Pulwama attack
Patra questioned whether such a statement undermines the morale of the Indian Army and Air Force
“Does this not demoralise our armed forces
Does it not shake the confidence of the people of India?” he asked
“In the aftermath of the Pahalgam terrorist attack
the Congress party is playing politics,” Patra said
Read: After years of calm, LoC residents brace for 'war' as India-Pakistan tensions rise
‘Bharat ne Pakistan ke upar surgical strike nahi kiya’ (India did not conduct a surgical strike on Pakistan),” he added
Patra alleged that even though the Congress party does not take terror attacks seriously
and the Gandhi family fails to understand the sentiments of the people
it does not give them the right to demoralise the country’s security forces
Channi on Friday said the government should take strong and decisive action against Pakistan following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam
and questioned the authenticity of the 2019 surgical strikes
“People are waiting for the so-called 56-inch chest to act
We want the government to respond swiftly and deliver results,” said Channi
Channi said the government later used the incident to claim retaliatory action

“But we have never seen where in Pakistan the strikes were done and where people were killed
They claim to have conducted surgical strikes against Pakistan but nothing had happened
Surgical strikes were not seen anywhere and no one knew about them,” he said
“I have said earlier also that the Congress party
If the government disrupts their (Pakistan's) water supply
we are standing like a rock with it,” he added
BJP’s North East in-charge Sambit Patra arrived in Imphal on Monday for a two-day visit
as Manipur remains under President’s Rule and political uncertainty deepens
His arrival comes amid growing calls for the restoration of a popular government in the conflict-affected state
Patra boarded a helicopter to Churachandpur
where he held discussions with local MLA Vunzjagin Valte
and proceeded directly to the residence of former Chief Minister N
Patra was received at Imphal Airport by BJP Manipur General Secretary K
he also met with Manipur Assembly Speaker Thokchom Satyabrata Singh
It remains unclear whether Patra will meet with the group of 21 MLAs who recently submitted a memorandum to the Centre
urging the formation of a new government in the state
was addressed to both the Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Home Affairs
along with three from the National People’s Party (NPP)
the MLAs stated: “We feel that the installation of a popular government is the only means to bring peace and normalcy in Manipur.”
President’s Rule was imposed in Manipur on February 13 following the resignation of Chief Minister N
While the state assembly has been placed under suspended animation
This marks Sambit Patra’s first visit to Manipur since February
and his presence is being closely watched as political pressure builds for a return to democratic governance

\"GMFB\" debates if it's a big deal that the Dallas Cowboys trading for quarterback Joe Milton III from the New England Patriots
Kevin Patra grades the most significant NFL trades of the 2025 offseason
OFFENSE: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Offensive line
DEFENSE: Defensive line | Linebacker | Cornerback | Safety
The value for Milton is undoubtedly better than what the Cowboys surrendered two years ago for 41 Trey Lance passes
The second-year Milton is an extremely high-variance quarterback at this stage
In the preseason and a Week 18 start as a rookie
Milton flashed a big arm and a propensity for splash plays
Yet there is a ways to go for his game to be regular-season caliber.
I like the gamble for the Cowboys, who needed a backup to Dak Prescott and can offer Milton offseason reps where New England could not
A simple late-round pick swap allows Dallas to nab a young passer with upside without fully spending a selection
surely teams will spend Day 3 picks on developmental QBs
The Cowboys got theirs with a 46-pick drop to the seventh round.
Questions remain about whether Milton can be a trustworthy backup if Prescott goes down with another injury
Milton will make the Cowboys' preseason action wildly more entertaining
and even that small slice of seeming irrelevance is a positive on the grading scale.
For New England, Milton was clearly the odd man out, with Drake Maye entrenched as the starter and veteran Josh Dobbs brought in as the backup
Not only was Milton's path to playing time closed off
but he also wouldn't have gotten enough reps to aid his development
There was also the questionable fit with Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels' plans.
The low compensation highlighted that the market for Milton wasn't significant -- teams likely viewed the Week 18 appearance as a mirage
Getting something for a player that they had no plans to retain past final cuts is better than nothing
I am surprised the Pats didn't hang onto the asset a tad longer to see if they could milk anything better than a 46-slot leap
able to win at the line of scrimmage and fearless under pressure
Those are superpowers that can allow him to continue flourishing even as he creeps up in age
The 34-year-old stood in under massive interior pressure last season in Seattle
in an environment where worse QBs would have crumbled
and a new deal with Vegas has yet to come to fruition
That could further color how this transaction looks in the coming months
The addition doesn't change the reality that there is still no long-term plan under center
but it will serve as insurance if all the top signal-callers are once more off the board when the Raiders select
I've already said my piece about the Seahawks essentially swapping Smith for a mid-round pick to get younger and cheaper under center
but until Seattle's offensive line is fixed
NFL Network's Omar Ruiz furthers his position on why Seattle Seahawks wide receivers Cooper Kupp
and Marquez Valdez-Scantling are able to \"line up on any given play from any given position\"
A year ago
Philly acquired Kenny Pickett from Pittsburgh in exchange for a pick swap (2024 third-round pick for a fourth-rounder) and two 2025 seven-rounders
Howie Roseman flipped Pickett for a fifth-round choice and another backup quarterback
Pickett played fine in limited work for Philly before injuries opened the door for Tanner McKee" data-link="/players/tanner-mckee/" data-slug="tanner-mckee">Tanner McKee to show off in the regular-season finale
should finally get a legit shot to be the backup
Getting a pick and a wild-card quarterback for superfluous is good work in my book
I assume that, still holding 10 draft picks after the trade
Andrew Berry was OK with handing one out in exchange for a placeholder quarterback
he's still no closer to solving the decades-long problem under center in Cleveland
The Vikings took a sixth-rounder netted in the Ed Ingram" data-link="/players/ed-ingram/" data-slug="ed-ingram">Ed Ingram trade (see below) and shipped it (while also completing a pick swap) to San Francisco for a backup running back
a two-year deal worth a max value of $12 million
I'm slightly surprised that the Vikings didn't prefer waiting and adding a rookie instead of taking on salary and giving up a future pick
But Mason proved he's a good stand-in when called upon
and if he improves at pass protection in Year 2
Kyle Shanahan has proven he can find RBs for his scheme pretty much anywhere
so this trade makes sense as a way to trim expenses
who showed big-time flashes down the stretch as a rookie
He won't be blocked by costlier teammates from the jump in Year 2
Metcalf's ability to create big plays is something the Steelers lacked in recent years. Pairing him with George Pickens" data-link="/players/george-pickens/" data-slug="george-pickens">George Pickens gives them two field-stretchers who could be a menace to secondaries -- assuming the Steelers don't trade Pickens himself at some point this offseason
The duo will force clubs into lighter-box formations to avoid getting burned deep
which should open up coordinator Arthur Smith's running game
Metcalf's massive new deal (four years, $132 million) ensures he'll be in Pittsburgh for the long haul
making it more likely that Pickens' time there -- he is entering the final year of his rookie contract -- has an expiration date
Giving up a second-rounder plus committing to serious money takes the Steelers' grade down a peg
but finally landing a big fish in Pittsburgh is a positive
Now the team needs to figure out who will get him the ball
the Seahawks presumably didn't want to extend Metcalf at his desired dollar amount
I understand not wanting to pay through the nose for a player who is Pro Bowl caliber but not quite All-Pro
what Metcalf landed from the Steelers is becoming the going rate
It's undeniable that Seattle was better with DK than sans DK
John Schneider needs to nail his draft picks
Watch the best plays made by wide receiver DK Metcalf in his career so far
which was set to pay him $15.5 million in 2025
The 28-year-old is coming off two down seasons
generating just 379 yards and one touchdown in eight games in 2024
If he can stay on the field and get back to even three-quarters of his 2022 level (84 catches
I don't hate the dice roll for a player in the final year of his contract
The Jags got something for a player they were about to cut
so I can't give them too high a grade here
Given his injury history and production over the last two years
it made sense that Jacksonville's brass would move on swiftly
and it could cost more if an extension comes down the pike
but these are the types of swings clubs on the up-slope should take
And I don't expect the 30-year-old to fall off a cliff
The next phase is to use the picks from the Tunsil trade to strengthen the group for the long haul
In a world where few linemen become available
Poles did well to use his assets to immediately upgrade the weakest link of his club
so moving on from a 32-year-old a year early makes sense
it is still a gamble for a squad that just won the AFC title to rely on youngsters
The last time Kansas City got whooped in a Super Bowl
Brett Veach completely revamped the offensive line
Former offensive lineman Kyle Long wakes up with \"GMFB\" and breaks down the Chicago Bears 2025 free agency moves
Jonah Jackson's familiarity with Ben Johnson after spending the first four years of his career with the coach in Detroit is a huge bonus to his acquisition
given the style of play Johnson wants to bring to Chicago
There is a reason the Rams shelled out $51 million on a three-year deal last offseason to add the guard
Injuries have persisted for the 28-year-old
missing time with a shoulder injury and then being benched
and he hasn't played 16-plus games since 2021
Jackson is still young enough to bounce back
but injuries usually become more of an issue with age
particularly for someone with his physical style
It's also surprising that the Bears were willing to take on all the remaining dollars on Jackson's deal, even handing him a one-year extension through 2027
I would have figured Chicago would've shaved some money off the top by adding a pick
For a team that has missed on previous iterations of the offensive line
securing a proven vet that you know will fit in Johnson's scheme is a smart start
The Rams get docked for giving out a big deal they apparently immediately regretted
but completely shedding the player and money while snaring a Day 3 selection is a solid turnabout
I'm not sure the Texans are improving, but at least they're making moves. Again, it's not as if they could get worse than they were on the O-line last year. They seem to be taking the "toss a bunch of players at the problem and see who sticks" approach.

Ingram profiles as a potential backup guard for the Texans
It's a flier addition for a team scouring for answers after a disastrous year up front
scooping up a low-cost former second-rounder makes sense
Maybe Ingram can turn it around in new surroundings
The NFL is littered with linemen who never panned out
so don't bet on it -- but at least the Texans are trying
We're back to another player who was bound to be released
the Saints gave up a final-round pick two drafts from now
which is about as low a non-pick-swap return as you can get for a player
Davon Godchaux had some productive years early in his career but dipped last year and wasn't a fit in the new scheme in New England
Getting younger and more flexible up front made sense for the Pats
I don't hate the fit in New Orleans under new defensive coordinator Brandon Staley. Godchaux reportedly taking a slight contract shave as part of the deal also helps
and Godchaux certainly aids a run defense that needs gap stuffers
The 30-year-old won't add much in the way of pass rush but can plug the hole and has a plus tackle rate for a nose
The Cowboys won't spend in free agency but were comfortable taking on a linebacker with a $7.66 million cap hit
is an innings eater with 67 career starts and 416 total tackles
Given the Cowboys' struggles against the run
you'd have thought players they'd chase this offseason would excel
but Murray has been below-average as a run-defender
Dallas certainly needed aid in the middle of the defense with DeMarvion Overshown's injury
it didn't cost much draft capital and Murray is just 26 with a lot of experience
I'd be more excited if Murray had a history with Matt Eberflus
The low trade cost suggests that the Titans were planning on moving on from the linebacker
so kudos to the front office for getting something
even if it was just moving up 51 draft spots near the end of the selection process
Dallas lost Jourdan Lewis in free agency and responded by taking a swing at a former first-round pick who had worn out his welcome in Buffalo long ago. Kaiir Elam never looked comfortable in Sean McDermott's scheme, immediately getting bypassed by sixth-round draftmate Christian Benford
In three seasons, Elam generated a +23.5 target EPA with a +10.6 completion percentage over expected (CPOE) allowed (negatives are better for corners). When forced into duty in games where McDermott needed to play more man (i.e., against Patrick Mahomes)
This trade was about two years in the making in Buffalo
and the light asset recoup shouldn't be a surprise for a first-round pick who played just 533 coverage snaps over five years
in Matt Eberflus' scheme -- another zone-heavy one -- Elam can find a stride and become the player scouts projected during the draft process
It's a cheap play but isn't a surefire answer to Dallas' corner questions heading toward the draft
Houston gave up a struggling lineman who'd been injured/benched in exchange for a starting safety who can bring attitude to DeMeco Ryans' secondary. A former first-rounder, Kenyon Green was either hurt or highly ineffective. There was no coming back in Houston. Moving him for a starter with plus attributes to replace Eric Murray
C.J. Gardner-Johnson provides multifaceted ability to the Texans' secondary alongside Calen Bullock and Jalen Pitre
near the line and -- if needed -- at nickel fits nicely in Ryans' D
That he brings attitude to the AFC South adds some pizzazz
the justifying scuttle surrounding CJGJ in Philadelphia was that the safety missed too many tackles and gave up big plays for the Super Bowl champion defense
The Eagles will miss his physical style as they lean into youngsters
The move did give Howie Roseman his latest first-round reclamation project in Green

The Cleveland Browns select Colorado Buffaloes quarterback in Round 5 of the 2025 NFL Draft with the No
144 overall pick (via a trade with the Seattle Seahawks)
Shedeur Sanders' draft saga finally ended on Saturday in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft
144 overall to select the Colorado quarterback
166 and 192 overall to Seattle for the rights to the selection
The Browns and the entire league continually passed on Sanders amid discussions about his play and concerns about off-field distractions. Cleveland passed on the Colorado QB six times, including drafting fellow rookie signal-caller Dillon Gabriel in the third round on Friday night
they moved up in the fifth round to stop Sanders' draft weekend slide
"Nothing really affected me the last couple of days," Sanders told reporters on Saturday
there wasn't too much negativity being said
I know I gotta clean up some things in my game for me to be at my best
but that's what I take each offseason one at a time and fix it
coach (Kevin) Stefanski and (general manager Andrew) Berry that they are right
to be able to come in there and do what I need to do."
Following the selection of Gabriel on Friday
Berry was asked about passing on Sanders for a QB who many media analysts had a lower grade
"The time that we spent with Shedeur and what he's done throughout his college career is impressive," Berry said
Berry said they didn't expect Sanders to be available in the fifth round
"He's highly accurate," Berry told reporters following the pick
It wasn't necessarily the plan going into the weekend to draft two QBs
We didn't expect him to be available in (the) fifth."
In addition to drafting Gabriel ahead of Sanders, the Browns also passed on the Colorado product in the fourth round when they took running back Dylan Sampson at No

Sanders stood tall behind a sieve offensive line
the signal-caller tossed 7,364 yards and 64 touchdowns
134 touchdowns to 27 interceptions and a 70.1 completion percentage
Sanders completed a career-high 74% of 477 pass attempts for 4,134 yards with 37 TD tosses and 10 INTs
becoming a second-team All-American and the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year
The son of one of the greatest players in NFL history, Shedeur Sanders, was one of the most hotly debated prospects in the entire 2025 class
Those debates were magnified as a potential early-round pick plummeted into Day 3
First Draft: Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders
Berry noted that ownership didn't pressure the front office into selecting Sanders
"Jimmy (Haslam) lets us do our job," he said
The 23-year-old's production during college was undeniable
A strong base and polished mechanics give Sanders a solid pocket foundation
and he displays subtle pocket movement to buy time
Those are traits the best NFL signal-callers own
Sanders doesn't offer a high upside entering the NFL
He's neither an explosive athlete nor fleet of foot
He has a knack for holding the ball too long
taking sacks instead of living to see the next play
which could get him into trouble with tighter NFL windows
Sanders might not possess high-upside talent
but there are zero questions about his toughness and competitive drive
He'll need to show that competitive drive in Cleveland
as his draft status ensures nothing will be handed to him
"Message is come in and work," Berry said on Saturday
We told him it really doesn't matter where you're picked
"I know I'm going to fit in perfectly," Sanders said
So they could actually understand the real me
is the opportunity for people to actually see the real me and not be able to see stuff that could be true or not."
Sanders will have a chance to prove his doubters wrong
it'll likely be at the QB table again next year
Pickett and Flacco and prove his backers right
How Stefanski balances QB reps this offseason will be fascinating
The battle for those snaps will start at rookie minicamp in May
The Browns spent the offseason tossing darts at the board in an effort to find a starter after the Watson debacle
they made their most high-profile move by selecting Sanders
James Robinson and Scott Kolins team up for 'Patra
a new horror comic book series "about slasher monsters
and cult movie-inspired horror." With the first issue available from Dark Horse Comics this August
I caught up with James Robinson to learn more about the origins of this series
and to get a tease of what's to come for "One Innocent Girl..
I'm very excited to have gotten a tease of 'Patra #1 and I can't wait to read more
Can you tell me about the origins of this series and what made you feel this was a great first series for your new collaboration with Dark Horse
the timing that ‘Patra is the first of my series with Dark Horse was somewhat happenstance
I’ve been away from comics for a while with TV and prose
but I wanted to return and in a way that I felt mattered to me on a truly personal level
By this I mean that after many years with DC and Marvel
my own original ideas had been left in a bottom drawer for too long
So I set about contacting various artists who had always impressed me and who I’d wanted to work with
or who I’d enjoyed working with in the past
Scott was keen to get a project started and was the most readily available at the onset as other artists finished up projects and commitments
He had already gotten some of the idea for ‘Patra
this is definitely as much Scott’s idea as mine
I added enough in terms of plot and the overall direction of the story and character it quickly became ours
and we ended up with ‘Patra coming out of the gate first
Can you talk a bit about your process with Scott Kolins to design the characters and this world
The character designs are incredible and the overall look of the series is unique and eye-catching
this idea began as something Scott had thought up a while back
The story and plot were definitely an amalgam of our different aesthetics and approaches to storytelling
Scott has also added more line and hatching to his art
which makes his style still familiar to anyone who’s followed him since his days on The Flash but new and fresh at the same time
made into even more of a new side to Scott Kolins by his coloring which definitely add another fresh layer to the look
What can you tell us about this young girl named ‘Patra and can you tease what she faces over the course of the series
When we first meet ‘Patra she’s a scared girl who doesn’t understand the situation she’s in
All she knows is that when she’s in danger
a mask appears on her face and a knife in her hand
That in itself is enough for a scared little girl with no memory
but then there’s also the escaped maniac who wants to kill her
I’m loath to reveal too much as there are twists and surprises along the way for her and the reader
I can say that she emerges from her scared
unsure shell to be the hero she needs to be in order to take on the unhinged killer (loosely based on Michael Myers from Halloween) who is the threat of ‘Patra’s first arc
I will also say that by the end of the first arc
there are many revelations about ‘Patra and other characters around her
I read that this story is in the tradition of 80s slasher films
What are some of your favorite slasher movies
although if I had to pick a few I’d have to say…
The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a masterpiece and the remake from 2003 is beautiful
do you have plans to tell more stories in the world of 'Patra
Scott and I have 6 arcs planned; each arc’s “slasher” will be loosely based on one of the classic movie killers of yore
we hope to keep adding to the lore of ‘Patra
"A young girl named ‘Patra wakes up with no memory of her past
All she knows is that a big knife and a horrific mask appear whenever she’s in danger
who is slaughtering families in a small mid-western town
Join us for a new series as one brave little girl faces both monstrous dangers and mysterious secrets in this homage to the classic horror movies of yore
Celebrated scribe James Robinson and artist Scott Kolins bring a new slasher horror series to Dark Horse!"

BJP Northeast in-charge and Member of Parliament Dr
Sambit Patra arrived at Imphal Airport today for a crucial visit to Manipur
amid growing calls within the state unit for a change in leadership
Sambit Patra is expected to hold a key meeting with BJP legislators from Manipur
following a recent appeal by 21 party MLAs to the central leadership in New Delhi to consider forming a new BJP-led government in the state
Patra’s visit aims to engage legislators once again on the possibility of establishing a new government under fresh leadership
His trip comes against the backdrop of prolonged political uncertainty in Manipur
which has been under President’s Rule since February 13
Despite mounting pressure from within the state unit
citing the fragile situation in Manipur since ethnic violence erupted on May 3
Cleveland Browns defensive end Za'Darius Smith locks down Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson on a big-time sack
The final week for NFL teams to make trades this season is upon us
clubs were given additional time to evaluate their standing as buyers or sellers
have been reticent to make significant in-season changes
when front offices basically refused to take action
The best teams aren't afraid to move and shake
If the back-to-back Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs
let's look at a few trade fits that could make sense for all parties
I'm still not convinced the Bengals will be sellers despite a dismal start to the season. It's simply not how they usually operate. However, Hendrickson did make a contract-driven trade request in the offseason
and perhaps Cincy will make a move now rather than risk going through a similar situation heading into the final year of Hendrickson's deal in 2025
If Raiders star pass-rusher Maxx Crosby is truly off the table
Detroit presumably has institutional knowledge of the player
given that head coach Dan Campbell and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn were both part of the staff in New Orleans during Hendrickson's time with the Saints (2017-2020)
He plays with the type of motor Campbell loves and would fit in the locker room
With seven sacks and 36 QB pressures so far this season
Hendrickson has continued to be a weapon on the edge
The Lions have the overall talent to reach mid-January without making a move
Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson twirls New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones to the turf for his fourth sack of the 2024 NFL regular season
Smith is 32 but still has punch off the edge (he has five sacks so far this season)
and his size against the run would help fortify a Ravens defense that can't stop a nosebleed of late
On Sunday, Houston tried to bench left guard Kenyon Green, taking him out for a series, but his replacement, Jarrett Patterson
How about trading for a potential solution
After spending nine seasons in New Orleans
playing just 36 offensive snaps this season
The 30-year-old brings versatility as a left guard and can play tackle
Another option for Houston could be Evan Neal, a 2022 first-round pick by the New York Giants who hasn't played an offensive snap in 2024. If the Texans view the 'Bama product as a potential guard, he might be worth a flier. Benched Bears guard Nate Davis is another possibility
the offensive line does not offer teams with a lot of great trade options
But standing pat and watching Stroud take shot after shot is dangerous to Houston's future
particularly from the kind of big-bodied field stretcher he lost with Evans' injury
Williams wouldn't replace Evans -- no one would. But he could be the boundary weapon that Mayfield and the Bucs currently lack. It's of little surprise that in the week after losing Evans and Chris Godwin
Mayfield's yards-per-attempt figure fell to 6.6
his second-lowest of the season (ahead of only the anomalous loss to Denver)
1 overall pick has been impressive in Tampa
but dinking-and-dunking isn't where he's at his best
He needs a pass-catcher who can open the offense and land bombs
Moving on from Williams before the deadline makes too much sense for the 2-6 Jets
Watch highlights from the Week 8 matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and the Miami Dolphins during the 2024 NFL season
The 49ers could use some help on both sides of the ball, but with Diontae Johnson – who might have been an ideal short-term sub for Brandon Aiyuk -- off the table
Ojulari has been a sensation in the three weeks since Kayvon Thibodeaux went down with an injury
and his 14 percent pressure rate is excellent
The 24-year-old would pair well opposite Bosa and help keep Floyd fresh for the stretch run
The Giants sit in last place in the NFC East, and their season is on the brink. They have money tied up in Brian Burns and Thibodeaux
and Ojulari is set to hit the free agency market in the spring
Big Blue should get what they can for the young pass rusher now rather than wait until the spring
The Falcons' limp pass rush is an eyesore that they need to fix if they're to make a deep postseason run
So let's bring back a familiar face to help
He's generated 16 QB pressures and two sacks
His pressure rate of 12.2 percent is better than anyone on the Falcons with at least 100 rushes (Judon currently paces Atlanta with a rate of 7.9 percent)
With the 2-5 Dolphins sinking toward the bottom of the ocean
they should be motivated sellers at the deadline
particularly when it comes to veterans headed for free agency in the near term
When Campbell signed in Atlanta last season, he did so believing the Falcons were poised to be a playoff contender
Perhaps he can return to make that vision come true in 2024
The Commanders are flying high following Jayden Daniels' ridiculous game-winning Hail Mary on Sunday
Now's not the time for GM Adam Peters to sit still
Assuming he follows the blueprint established by the 49ers -- with whom Peters spent the past seven seasons -- Washington should be in the market to add an ancillary piece or two before the deadline
The Commanders' secondary has played better as the season has gone along
but it wouldn't hurt to bring in an upgrade
particularly given Dan Quinn's pervasive use of DB-heavy personnel
The Patriots have signaled their willingness to sell ahead of the deadline
The 31-year-old veteran would bring savvy to the back end of the Commanders' defense
Daniels' stupendous play has helped turn Washington's resurgence into one of the stories of 2024
The Commanders should lean into their quick turnaround under Quinn by making moves at the deadline to strengthen the defense ahead of the stretch run
Quessenberry allowed six pressures and half a sack in 14 pass-block plays
back-to-back losses showed some weaknesses
The issue could become backbreaking for Darnold if not fixed
EDITOR'S UPDATE: The Vikings are adding a new left tackle
NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported after this post was published that Minnesota will acquire Cam Robinson in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for draft pick compensation
the Vikings will receive a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick
which could disappear based on playing time
while the Jaguars will get a 2026 fifth-round pick that could become a fourth-rounder based on playing time
Watch the best plays from Denver Broncos' quarterback Bo Nix's 4-touchdown game against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season
Early in the 2024 season, Jayden Daniels opened up a yawning gap in the Offensive Rookie of the Year race the size of the Grand Canyon
The Washington Commanders quarterback performed so impeccably that he was on one side of the gorge and the rest of the rookie class was foraging on the other
Then Bo Nix made a move. And Daniels' stumbles against Pittsburgh and Philadelphia -- two excellent defenses -- opened the door for the Denver QB
whose odds of winning the award jumped up this week (+300)
It still might take an Indiana Jones-esque leap for Nix to actually cross the canyon and threaten Daniels' claim
but the way the Broncos signal-caller has shined in recent weeks makes it a possibility
I'll add one caveat: It wasn't Nix's most impressive performance
coming on two uncovered targets and two WR screens that Atlanta defended as if it had never seen the concept before
he added the stats to garner proper attention
Perhaps the best compliment I can give Nix is that he's a rookie currently acing his 300-level course
the signal-caller has been an extension of Payton
He's winning before the snap with regularity; he appears to knows who should be open and gets it out quickly
with his pinpoint accuracy allowing him to spray all three levels
It's the kind of precision Denver hasn't seen from a quarterback since Peyton Manning retired
It is truly impressive how Nix turned things around after an awful first few weeks. His first three career interceptions were painfully poor decisions
Far too many had written him off after the first month
But with a sturdy defense and a Super Bowl-winning tutor in Payton
Nix has flipped that failing grade on its head
He's a force multiplier for an offense he's guiding with aplomb
can avoid pressure and make defenses pay with his legs
and his quick flick can get the ball to his receiver in a hiccup
Since April, Payton made it obvious he believed Nix had the tools and makeup to shine in his scheme. It took time, but now it's clear to the world. I'm not positive Nix would thrive in another system with another coach, but he looks born to play under Payton -- both schematically and mentally
There are sure to be more valleys ahead as the Broncos attempt to cling to a playoff spot
but after years of cycling through quarterbacks like a puppy goes through chew toys
Where would I put Nix and Daniels in the chase for rookie hardware right now
And what about the top first-year pros on the other side of the ball
check out my top five candidates for OROY and DROY as we near the stretch run of the 2024 NFL season
NOTE: The odds presented below are provided by DraftKings
After that glowing intro, it might surprise some that I still have Daniels as my leader for Offensive Rookie of the Year. My reasoning is simple: The depth of dominance still favors the Commanders' signal-caller. Yes, Daniels' play has dipped for two weeks, but that was partially because of the defenses faced. The other issue: He played through a rib injury that has surely affected the play-calling
Daniels has been less dynamic with his legs in recent weeks
as defenses key on that part of his game and coordinator Kliff Kingsbury appears to consciously try to protect the QB
the door for Nix might have gone from shut to ajar -- per Pro Football Focus
Nix has splashed 12 big-time throws to Daniels' 11
while both QBs have recorded six turnover-worthy plays
leading to a turnover-worthy play rate of 1.6 percent for Daniels and 1.5 percent for Nix -- but it's not been kicked wide open yet
Daniels has generated 67.1 total EPA and 0.18 EPA per dropback
Nix has one game with more than a 0.10 EPA per dropback (Sunday against Atlanta
with a high of 0.68 in the win over Cincinnati
Daniels has produced a negative EPA per dropback just twice
Recency bias shouldn't make us forget that Daniels led an offense that didn't punt for more than two complete games
His downtrodden franchise was facing a ton of question marks entering the season
His calmness in the pocket has been otherworldly
and he's helping overcome a defense that has clear holes
It's worth noting that the top two players on this list were able to work up a ton of college experience
thanks partly to COVID-19-related eligibility extensions
Nix started 61 games in college and Daniels started 55
You can see it in each player's maturity and coolness under pressure
The fact that Bowers is already the most productive tight end of 2024
despite working with a shaky QB situation underscores the immense talent of the Georgia product
Watch the best catches from Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers' first 100-yard game during Week 11 of the 2024 season
Maye won't have the numbers or team success to inch up this board
but it's impossible to watch the Patriots and not come away feeling like Eliot Wolf hit on the QB
Through just seven appearances (six starts)
his stats aren't anything to write home about -- he's put up a 66.8 percent completion rate with 1,236 yards
when you actually watch more than highlights
He avoids pressure well and isn't afraid to stand in and take a hit to deliver a pass
He connects on at least one jaw-dropping throw per game
the end-of-game interceptions show he's got strides to make
His ability to develop each week despite the dismal surroundings is remarkable. Lesser talents (SEE: Daniel Jones) sink behind the kind of porous blocking that Maye has dealt with
That he doesn't blink says a lot about his potential
the fewest among all centers with at least 200 pass-blocking snaps
Odds: +220 | Drafted: Round 1
We live in a world where QB disruptors get the edge when it comes to glory
this award will probably go to the pass rusher I've ranked below Mitchell
But what's the point of all this if we never go out on a limb
Mitchell has been an absolute stud this season
and he's been a true lock-down force since the Eagles' Week 5 bye
Michell hasn't allowed more than 25 receiving yards as the nearest defender
Mitchell currently doesn't have a pick to his name
but if he can nab a couple of INTs down the stretch
Maybe a few big plays in prime time -- while the Eagles soar into the postseason -- will prompt enough attention for the corner that he's able to steal the award
Odds: -200 | Drafted: Round 1
More likely than the above scenario is Verse running away with the award as he continues to be a monster in the trenches
making offensive linemen look like rag dolls
the linebacker has generated 50 QB pressures
but he ranks third in the NFL (among those with a minimum of 200 pass-rush snaps) in QB pressures and pressure rate
His 17 quick pressures are tied for ninth in the NFL
To get a sense of why Verse seems like such a heavy favorite at this point
consider how his numbers stack up with recent pass rushers to be named the DROY (stats for each player through Week 11 of their rookie season):
ODDS: +1400 | Drafted: Round 2
General manager Howie Roseman's rookie corners are showing out
DeJean entered the Eagles' starting lineup in Week 6
and his presence completely transformed Vic Fangio's defense
now Philly boasts a physical force who isn't afraid to step up versus the run
shows the instincts to feel where the play is flowing and has the athleticism needed to stick with the shifty receivers lined up across from him
DeJean has allowed just 6.4 yards per catch on 25 receptions
Miami Dolphins linebacker Chop Robinson's second sack of 2024 brings an end to Rams' second drive.
Odds: +4000 | Drafted: Round 4, No. 124
Five 15-year-old students have been arrested in Patra, western Greece, for allegedly injuring a 13-year-old classmate during an internet challenge that went wrong. A sixth suspect, also 15, has been identified in connection with the incident.
The teenagers are facing charges of causing bodily harm.
Authorities have also filed a case against a teacher at the school for allegedly failing to properly supervise the students.
According to police, the arrests followed a complaint filed by a parent after the incident, which took place last Friday morning during a school break at a middle school in Patra.
The six students were allegedly part of a group of nine who, as part of a so-called “challenge,” lifted the 13-year-old into the air and then dropped him, causing him to hit his head and sustain serious cranial injuries.
Police stated that the teacher was responsible for supervising the students at the time of the incident.

Hong Kong actor Patra Au, who is celebrated for her touching portrayal of poignant characters, has been nominated for Best Actress at this year’s Golden Horse Awards for her role in Ray Yeung’s All Shall Be Well (2024)
a lesbian widow whose life is turned upside down by society’s pressures and the lack of legal protection for same-sex couples
“I am taken aback [by the prestigious nomination]
because I’m very new to movies,” says the actor
who debuted in films in a supporting role in Twilight’s Kiss (2019)
[and makes me realise that] as long as you produce good work

This realisation carries special meaning for the 72-year-old teacher-turned-actor
who feels that opportunities for older women in the local film industry are limited
Getting a lead role and being recognised at such a prestigious event in her second career—one she had dreamt of but abandoned for the stability of teaching—is something she never thought possible
‘Get a teacher certificate to make sure that you have something to rely on when I’m gone’,” she recalls
not only was I bored; I was also fed up with the [education] system.” Back then
the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre was looking for a full-time stage actor
she quit teaching and took the opportunity in 1979
“It may not be decent to say something like this in an interview
it feels like all your sexual energy and everything is well spent
It’s like having an orgasm and it’s great,” she says
you feel so alive.” Her love for acting shows through her vast interest in different theatrical genres such as comedy

She stayed with the theatre until 1987
when she moved to the US with her family—and with that
she thought she was also leaving behind her acting career
and I didn’t think anyone wanted a 50-year-old actor,” she says
“Hong Kong has always been young people-oriented in stage and movies
I didn’t think I’d earn a living
so I decided to put my certificate to good use.”
But she didn’t give up acting altogether
for which she also won in the best actress category at the Hong Kong Drama Awards in 1994
Above From left: Patra Au and Ray Yeung (Photo: courtesy of Ray Yeung) From left: Patra Au and Ray Yeung (Photo: courtesy of Ray Yeung)
The All Shall Be Well offer came much later
“Ray [Yeung] didn’t want to have TVB [local television channel] or any TV personalities
People are familiar with their faces and their style of acting
not only because it’s a complex role but also because the story underlines a bigger social topic of inclusion
“It’s more like a journey these two people take together
one of them is no longer there and the other thinks the only challenge that she will face is [bereavement]
Yet she realises that there’s more: her family is not really family
Same-sex marriage is not allowed in Hong Kong
she and Pat would have been married already ago
so they’re not together [in the eyes of their families].”

Au feels that stories about older women are hardly ever presented onscreen
but these stories need to be told all the same
“There should be a better percentage of more mature actors to display their skills and experience to share on the screen
People past their golden age have a lot to offer
But if you look at the local movie scene today
there are very few meaningful roles for older women
but they’re either mothers or grandmothers who yap
She is fully aware of the challenges of ageism but that doesn’t discourage her from acting
she sees her sunset years as a beautiful period to keep pursuing her dream
“I don’t limit myself to certain roles
If there is an interesting offer in the future
“Don’t be afraid in your [sunset] years
that means you already have a first career

“But because I have a whole bunch of stuff I didn’t immediately look at the script
I realise that I was reading for Hit Girl and she was one of the main characters in the film
and they sent someone from England to brush me up a little bit
And their Hit Girl was born,” she said
who described herself as “hyperactive and OCD”
commended Marlon James for believing in her and guiding her on set
especially during a particularly bloody scene
which was an “Ugh!” moment for her
it was hard for me to sit in the trailer for several hours
especially when certain things hit me when I’m acting with another actor
The first cut is never good because I’m like … ‘What the … !’ I’m always shocked by it
Marlon James was there on set helping with the make-up
even in a scene when I had to get very bloody
and Marlon was just throwing more,” she recalled
the Queen of the Pack has finished up her album and is ready to come back and do major things
but I own back [some amount] of my masters (original recordings) because
Shaggy even executively produced a song for me … they asked me to do something
My album is set and structured and is coming out right after the movie,” Patra said triumphantly
“The most beautiful thing about it is that I am in control now because I have gone through so much stress and depression pertaining to how I was treated back then
I realise that sometimes you have to go through a lot in order to know how to be strong
just like many of the prophets in the Bible.”

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports teams calling the Los Angeles Rams for potential trade of wide receiver Cooper Kupp
48,127 that playing in the NFL isn't like working a regular job: trades
Imagine KPMG and Deloitte swapping CPAs before tax season
Imagine Facebook and X exchanging engineers
Imagine it's not even for a current engineer
Some players have no-trade clauses in their contracts
but the vast majority can be shipped across the continent at a moment's notice
usually in exchange for future draft selections
It's a sports oddity that makes following as a fan more interesting
Concocting trades -- no matter how bizarre or unrealistic -- that could transform your team into a Super Bowl contender is an enjoyable exercise
As for those clubs wallowing in the cellar
the potential to brighten a sad season with some hope for the spring offers some consolation
More massive transactions could be coming in the days and weeks ahead
let's semi-recklessly speculate as to who should be buying and who should be selling
given our current knowledge -- with the sellers listed first
because they help dictate the options that the buyers can pursue
It's the type of situation that calls for a fire sale
who could net a sizable return -- and indicate that the rebuild is of a larger scale than I initially anticipated
New England spent the past offseason re-signing or extending its own players
Adding more assets would give Wolf the potential to move around in the draft and target difference-makers
\"Good Morning Football\" discusses whether they are in or out on questioning the New England Patriots' decision to hire Jerod Mayo as head coach
The Jags entered the season with high expectations
They could wait for the offseason to blow it up or start the turnover before the deadline
They're thin on the edge and could use aid up the gut
I don't expect the Niners brass to simply sit by with fingers crossed that everything will work out
During a segment of \"Good Morning Football\"
NFL Network's Peter Schrager contends which team has the bigger uphill battle in Dallas Cowboys-San Francisco 49ers \"Sunday Night Football\" matchup
Adding a reliable body or two would go a long way
It would be very Jetsy for a once-stout D to disintegrate just as the offense kicks into gear
but GM Jason Licht might have to make a move to ensure it doesn't slam shut before Thanksgiving
Could Tampa get in on the Cooper Kupp sweepstakes
He would make an interesting combo with Pickens
and his presence would lead to even more Wilson moonballs
the Steelers look like a postseason club once again
they'll need another weapon opposite Pickens
so he might need to get creative if he wants to pull any levers on the trade market
The Oxford Student sat down with Patra, a second-year English student at Oriel College who recently released a single titled “Aftercare”
While ostensibly a song borne from a situationship
it’s also something more – a reflection of uncertainty
and of the longing for something that may never be fully defined
and late-night recording sessions that brought it to life
whilst reflecting on her musical journey and the myriad of ways in which music has become inseparable from who she is
Patra recalled drawing inspiration from her real-life situationship in writing and producing this song
tentative opening which is very tone-heavy
I wanted that to feel like how it is when you’re in a ‘will they
and you almost feel like you’re running out of time
and the person it’s written about knows that it’s written about them
I might even have sent the first line of the song as a text to them
And I think everyone should send this song to their situationship.”
“Aftercare” is admittedly an interesting choice for a song title
Reflecting on what “Aftercare” means to her
Patra references her lyrics in ruminating on “what comes after?” “It is inevitably the question that weighs on my mind
but it’s also the question that nobody wants to answer
But if you’re in a situation with such blurred boundaries
you can’t necessarily ask them to care after.”
I was curious about the entire production process of the song
as well as the time it took for the song to come to completion
and was surprised to find that it all happened within the span of a month or so – specifically
literally locked up in the attic of his house for 3 weeks trying to figure out production through trial and error
We wanted to figure out how to get the song to sound professional
or as professional as we could get it to sound.”
the entire song was also conceptualized and written within this short frame of time
Patra talks candidly about her songwriting process
stating “I’m constantly going through some kind of emotional turmoil or mental break
I wrote a good chunk of the song on the Oxford Tube back from London – I have this book
and every time I have ideas I will write something down in there.”
When asked about the people she did it with
Patra mentioned “These guys – they’re such a big part of it
who does production and also deals with all the communications and contacts
who’s this amazing photographer and graphic designer.”
adding that she’s really “fortunate that (she) enjoys their company anyway.” While starting something so exciting with your close friends is a dream for many
Patra also admits that “it can be really difficult navigating a friend-colleague relationship”
though she adds “we only started this project because we trust ourselves that we’re smart and dedicated enough to put all our effort into it”.
“Working with them has taught me bounds and bounds of things
But above all it’s taught me – and I know this sounds corny – how to be less scared of sharing parts of myself with others.” Because songwriting is such a personal process to her
Patra recalls having to share her “deepest fears and anxieties” with people she “didn’t really know at the time”.
“I think this whole process has taught me to take myself less seriously
I think we all get way too in our heads about these things
and so many people have come up to me being like ‘why is this so relatable’
So I’m glad I wrote about this topic in a song.”
Besides writing and releasing her own music
Patra is heavily involved in the music scene in Oxford
herself performing in two bands – We Should Sleep More and Dot’s Funk Odyssey
“Being around such amazing musicians all the time is really cool to me
It’s very inspiring when I see people who’ve been so good at their craft
Patra admits “I’m not putting all my eggs in one basket
and we’re going to run this like a business
We are going to put our full effort into it for an amount of time
and really take it seriously and see where it’s going.”
My brain is like a tornado – there’s so many things going around in it
and there will never be something that I don’t want to talk about or put into songwriting
Patra reflects on her own experiences throughout her life
and how they seep into the music she writes: “My inspiration for my songs come from loads of things
like me having moved abroad at a young age
which is a genre in the UK and something I only learned after moving here
but it’s also very much a delineation of my move here
because it wouldn’t have been possible without me coming to the UK
but I also think it captures how it feels for me
growing up in two different places.”
my conversation with Patra felt like a love letter to the one thing she was so passionate to discuss – music
She tells me about her fascination with different genres of music
and the reluctance to limit herself to just one: “I like jazz
There will be elements of me in every song – I might not be the most technically trained singer
So whether I put more jazz influences into it
my songs will always have elements of me in them.”
music also acts as a “lifeline” for her: “Whenever I experience emotions in extreme
whether I’m particularly happy or particularly sad
I think that if I didn’t have my book to whip out and write about it
And that’s kind of what music has become now for me.”
it just feels like the easiest thing in the world.”
May 2 (PTI) The BJP on Friday accused the Congress of misleading the country on caste enumeration
asserting that it is the Modi government which decided to conduct it for the first time in Independent India
BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra said the Congress and its allies were in power at the Centre for over six decades but never conducted a caste census
"They (Congress and its allies) never conducted a caste census
The first caste census will be carried out under our government," Patra said
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shown that everything he does is meant for policy transformation aimed at bringing fundamental changes in people's lives for social justice," the BJP spokesman said
Referring to the Congress Working Committee (CWC) resolution on the issue
Patra said the opposition is trying to mislead everyone
Patra also said that it was the Congress prime ministers
who gave slogans to remove poverty but it was Narendra Modi who actually worked to curb it
Even the World Bank has said that more than 17 crore people came out of poverty under the Modi government
it is the BJP-led government which has taken the crucial decision on caste census
"It is one thing to give speeches on the welfare of different castes and another to take a decision to make policies for their upliftment," he said
which has claimed credit for the Centre's announcement on caste enumeration by citing Rahul Gandhi's campaign in its support
on Friday asked the government to announce a "clear timeline" for every stage of such an exercise
The Congress also reiterated its demand for removing the "arbitrary ceiling" of 50 per cent on reservations for SCs
the Modi government on Wednesday announced that caste enumeration will be included in the next census exercise in a "transparent" manner

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce talks to the media about his changing perspective now in his fifth Super Bowl appearance compared to his first during Super Bowl LIX Opening Night
NEW ORLEANS -- Travis Kelce might be slowing down
but he's not ready to quit snagging pigskins
The 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs star tight end said Monday during Super Bowl LIX Opening Night that he's got no designs on walking away, win or lose Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles
Kelce admitted he's considered riding off into the sunset
but the thrill of another Super Bowl run proved he still has the juice to keep going
the month that we just had in the playoffs that make me feel like I could play this game forever
I think I still got a lot of football left in me
I think this year has been one of the most special years of my life
I think it's gonna continue to make me want to do more in the football world."
his worst total since his one-game rookie season in 2013
and had just three touchdowns in 16 games this season
marking his fourth game this season with fewer than 20 receiving yards -- double as many games than any other campaign in his career
the tight end believes he can play several more seasons
Hopefully still playing football," he said on Monday night
I feel like I still got a lot of good football left in me
I know I've been setting myself up for other opportunities in my life
knowing that football only lasts for so long
You've got to find a way to get into another career
I'm planning on being a Kansas City Chief and playing football."
Kelce wasn't the only Chiefs' keystone to reject retiring
Head coach Andy Reid also has zero plans to put down his play sheet
Super Bowl LIX will be Reid's 45th career playoff game as a head coach
passing Bill Belichick (44) for the most playoff games by a head coach all-time
Reid (28) needs four wins to pass Belichick (31) for the most career playoff victories
The 66-year-old Reid remains several seasons behind Bruce Arians
who was 68 when he became the oldest Super Bowl champion coach -- Arians retired at 69
Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt also tossed a bucket of cold water on the idea of the coach walking away
"Yeah, I was always surprised when I heard those rumors because I know how much fun Andy's having," Hunt said, via Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post
"He in a lot of ways I think is rejuvenated by the success the team's had
certainly he's matched with the quarterback that's a perfect complement for him in Patrick
I'm glad we haven't heard any of those rumors this year
I know for a fact he's going to be back next year
but I think Andy loves what he's doing and is going to do it for a long time."
With Kelce and Reid dismissing retirement chatter, and Patrick Mahomes only 29
the Chiefs' key offensive triumvirate will be in play for another Super Bowl run in 2025
