Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans - Sunday, January 8, 2023 - Postgame Notes
“Proud of the guys overcoming three turnovers in the first half. Gave ourselves a shot to win at the end. Unfortunately, didn't make enough plays at the end to get off the field. But we ran the ball well. Battled with it. And just unfortunately they made two huge plays at the end and then converted. So, a disappointing way that we finished the season. But proud of the guys' effort. They left it all out there for sure.”

In ‘Nolly,’ Helena Bonham Carter shines as TV lioness in winter of her career
A splendid showcase for Helena Bonham Carter, “Nolly” zooms in on a very particular time and character in British history, revolving around the unceremonious firing of Noele Gordon, the star of a popular soap opera. While not the usual corseted stuff for which PBS’ “Masterpiece” is known, the three-part limited series serves as a reminder of how actresses who spoke their minds were often summarily labeled “difficult,” then and now.

The Fall of the Sagging Pants Era Is Upon Us
For years, we've watched them waddle in front of us like tipsy penguins, hitching their flopping pants up as they shuffled along. Some saggers dropped their pants down just below their waist, giving us just a glimpse of their butt cheeks. Others went full-on sag, tying their pants mid-thigh, a sartorial maneuver that made them "look like they were pooping themselves while they walked," one critic observed.

Bluster Is Not Strength
For Donald Trump, America First is increasingly translating into America alone. He apparently believes that the United States is so dominant that it needs no friends. Trump prefers to act alone, often on impulse, in conflicts across the globe. He views allies as a burden, international law as an affront. He claims that America is back, more respected than ever. In fact, it is becoming more isolated than ever.
