Bill Belichick sensationally missed out on the Pro Football Hall of Fame by just a single vote, it has emerged. But he called the outcome 'embarrassing' and said 'this whole mess has placed the Pro Football Hall of Fame in a precarious, unflattering position.' And earlier this week, the Hall of Fame released a cryptic statement, warning selection committee members of potential expulsion if they violated rules. 'The Hall also respects the members of the Selection Committee when they follow the selection process bylaws. 'Each year, the Hall reviews the selection process and the composition of the 50-person Selection Committee.

It started with an innocuous Google search... and ended with me being lied to, harassed and spied on by the health board at the centre of one of Britain’s biggest NHS scandals. The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) had opened in 2015 to great fanfare. I’ve spent the last seven years investigating the problems at the QEUH and the adjoining Royal Hospital for Children (RHC). I was now firmly in the grip of the health board stasi... and it was relentless. I was appalled that a health board would be attempting to use someone’s mental health as a reason to discredit them.

80s pop star Clare Grogan appears not to have aged a day as she and her band Altered Images prepare to tour the UK to mark their biggest hit's 45th anniversary. Ask any band from the 80s and they’ll tell you that somebody made some money, but it’s very rarely the band. Even when I was at the top of the charts, I was earning £75 a week'. Clare told The Mirror about the track's upcoming anniversary: 'I’d have been mortified if you’d told me I’d still be singing Happy Birthday in my 60s!'. As well as a singer Clare has also made a name for herself as an actress, mostly famously for her role in iconic 1981 comedy Gregory's Girl.

In my first year as Clare manager in 2004, we went to Salthill to take on Galway in round 2 in mid-March. We’d beaten Dublin in our first game but Galway had been really impressive when sacking Kilkenny the same afternoon so we knew what we were facing.

If navigating relationships with in-laws is tricky territory, Prince William is on solid ground when it comes to Carole and Michael Middleton. And the 'telling' sign was a deceptively light-hearted moment, Ms James told The Daily Mail. 'William and Carole's body language bonding here was predominantly about the spontaneous haptics, or using touch to convey emotions,' Ms James explained. They would not have had an opportunity to speak freely or express their feelings during a 'worrying' time for the royal family. In fact, their discretion in the run-up to William and Kate's royal wedding made them 'more popular than ever' within the halls of Buckingham Palace.

Voters are divided on when Micheál Martin should step down as leader of Fianna Fáil, with 45 per cent saying now is the time for him to go. Some 39p believe he should wait until the taoiseach’s office is rotated with Fine Gael in November 2027, and a further thirteen per cent of voters would be happy for him to lead Fianna Fail into the next general election, according to the latest Ireland Thinks poll for the Sunday Independent.

Christian Horner has 'unfinished business' in Formula One and opened up about his desire to return to the sport he sorely misses. The former Red Bull boss left his job at the Milton Keynes-based team with an £80million package after facing the accusations that put a huge amount of scrutiny on him and the team. I miss the sport, I miss the people, I miss the team that I built. 'What has been fascinating is that I stepped out of Red Bull on July 8, and this is the first time I have actually spoken to anyone. The possibility of Horner running Aston is not dead, though the chance to lead Ferrari or own Alpine may be more attractive to him.

The level of interest is easy to account for: Attractively priced turnkey bungalows aren’t easy to come by. Among the key reasons is the excellent condition of this late 1990s home, and the fact that it’s easy to navigate. Downsizers who favour a home on one level are dominating the inquiry line. The current owners bought No 2 The Hermitage, in Sallybrook, around 2015, and followed up with a series of upgrades. It’s private, enclosed, and catches the sun, and new owners might consider installing a patio on the level section.

Appearing in an Osbournes-style fly-on-the-wall documentary show alongside his sons Bobby and Freddy would have surely been a ratings winner for ITV who have been ‘super keen’ to sign the trio up. Sources say that the ‘ongoing stress’ in the Brazier clan could be Jeff's reason for pulling out of the show. Sources close to the family said: ‘Jeff has pulled out of the show, leaving pre-production in chaos. Nobody really knows why, but there is a lot of ongoing stress in the Brazier clan, especially with Freddy about to become a dad. Last month, Jeff revealed that his seven-year marriage with his wife, Kate, had sadly come to an end.

Substitute Beto struck in the seventh minute of added time to earn Everton a dramatic 1-1 Premier League draw at Brighton. Everton move on to 34 points courtesy of the late drama, while Brighton remain three points below following a solitary victory from their last 11 league fixtures.

Everton began a new era at the Hill Dickinson Stadium by beating Brighton 2-0 in the reverse fixture in August.

Inter Milan would like to sign Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones but, with their squad stretched, it is not in the Anfield club's interests to let any first team players leave this window. The 25-year-old has made 29 appearances for Arne Slot's side this season but missed Wednesday's Champions League victory over Qarabag due to illness. However, as it stands, the Premier League champions are not in active contact for a right-back. For his part, Inter defender Dumfries is stepping up his own rehabilitation after surgery on a fractured ankle last month. He is targeting a return for Inter's Champions League play-off with Bodo/Glimt next month.
