@gdodson1985 @nfluk_tickets And me

[James Reed @JamesReedYorks]

@johnnyddavidson Take it off the TV too. Because that means more people will go to games which will cover the lost revenue. Have games at small grounds so crowds feel bigger. But also massive venues to show ambition. But ticket prices are also why people don’t go to games so make it free. Erm…

@HeedTheCallPod @DanHanzus @MarcSessler @ConorOrr @Dameshek This has to become an annual segment. @ConorOrr had me howling picking Harrison Butker. Great episode. Feels like the new pod has (understandably) been finding its way - this episode really felt like it went to another level.

[James Reed @JamesReedYorks]

@DanHanzus Might need a ‘New Horizons Monday: In Season’ at this rate.

[James Reed @JamesReedYorks]

@NoHelmetsReq Sunday Sun? Newcastle-based but I think would have been sold in Cumbria.

[James Reed @JamesReedYorks]

@ConorOrr Enjoyed your column. Speaking as an international fan, the NFL shouldn’t underestimate how the American-ness of the sport is one of its big appeals even if it does mean watching at all hours. (But please don’t take the London games away).

[James Reed @JamesReedYorks]

@johnnyddavidson I’m not so sure. Was noticeable how many fans left after their team’s game yesterday. Wholly unscientific poll of fans around me was they were heading home.

Thanks to a sub-Dalton line decision by shadowy league figures my favourite podcast has ended. The Sunday night recap was one of the best reasons to get up on Monday. The episode after Wess died was exceptionally moving. Thanks @greggrosenthal @DanHanzus @MarcSessler

We started the Around the NFL Podcast 11 years and over 1,600 episodes ago. We didn’t take a single break in all the years since, which is part of what made the last six weeks so heartbreaking. I never expected our last show on May 23 to be our *last show,* but here we are.

@nedboulting @lewishamfood Entered. What a great idea. 👏

[James Reed @JamesReedYorks]

@PhilHay_ A great sign-off piece @PhilHay_ Congrats on an amazing run and good luck with the next move.

Rob Burrow. Incredible.

[James Reed @JamesReedYorks]

Rob Burrow is the reason I’m a rugby league fan. I’d watched the odd game but in 2011 I was invited to the Grand Final and saw Rob score THAT try. I was hooked. Lots will rightly be said how he courageously faced his illness. Let’s not forget he was a bloody good rugby player.

[Leeds Rhinos @leedsrhinos]

It is with deep sadness that the club can confirm that former player Rob Burrow CBE has passed away, aged 41.

@robfordmancs I’ve found that between this and Bart Simpson’s campaign to be class president (“He says, there's no any easy answers; I say: he's not looking hard enough!!”) you can explain most things in politics.

[James Reed @JamesReedYorks]

@HollyLynch5 You’ve been a fantastic campaigning MP @HollyLynch5 and should be hugely proud of what you’ve achieved. Few people get to see the demands it places on MPs and their families. Enjoy whatever is next.

[James Reed @JamesReedYorks]

Wishing my former political reporting colleagues all the best as they look ahead to six weeks touring schools, hospitals and assorted light industrial units praying for decent weather, good wi-fi and plentiful plug sockets.

[James Reed @JamesReedYorks]

@MattChorley Congratulations Matt.

1. City of Leeds. A promotional brochure dated from the mid 1930s. A colleague discovered this in their grandparents house. It is rather splendid. 🧵

Sponsoring a dog is a great way to support @DogsTrust. And if you’re thinking of getting a dog, remember there are lots looking to be rehomed. Coming up to four years since we adopted and so glad we did.

[James Reed @JamesReedYorks]

As one of Jake’s sponsors it was amazing last week to get the letter from @DogsTrust to say he had found a home and even better to read this lovely story about it courtesy of @BBCNews
