Sam Darnold worries my wife with his apparent lack of pressure awareness around him; the way he sometimes holds onto the ball way longer than he should and gets himself sacked for long yardage loss.
The much-lauded #Vikings run defence has been less effective than expected or hoped for.
On the other hand, the much-derided ability of Kirk Cousins to throw an interception is doing just fine.
Just watched #DuneProphecy E01-03 and I can't help but wonder if Travis Fimmel's acting skillset consists solely of deranged stares, see Ragnar Lothbrok in #Vikings and Caleb/Marcus Drusus in #RaisedByWolves.

A rare and wonderful survival from Viking-age York! A delicate silk cap made of plain-woven, undyed silk, c. AD 900. An exotic material in 10th-century Britain, the silk was imported to York from Persia via a vast network of Viking trade routes. Yorkshire Museum @AlisonFisk
Frey was one of the three most important Norse gods (along with Odin and Thor). He was a god of fertility, prosperity, and peace, who helped crops grow and both humans and animals give birth. Frey also ruled the light elves (though he wasn't an elf himself).
