Dinosaur enthusiasts are encouraged to visit the land Leo called home. Move over Leonardo DaVinci! There’s a new Leo on the block, and he’s old, really old. Leonardo the Dinosaur roamed the lush wetlands of what is now Montana’s Missouri River Country 77 million years ago. On July 27, 2000 an expedition was searching for dinosaur fossils near Malta, Montana. What they discovered was the find of a lifetime. Leonardo, the mummified dinosaur, was a young Brachylophosaurus. The giant fossil was named for graffiti near the site that says “Leonard Webb loves Geneva Jordan 1916.” Leonardo is one of only four Brachylophosaurus to be unearthed. A Brachylophosaurus is a plant-eating, duckbilled, two-legged dinosaur. Scientists believe Leonardo was three or four years old when he died. He would have been over 20 feet l

Pep Guardiola: I will stay at Man City if we're relegated to League One

Image
Pep Guardiola says he's more likely to stay at Manchester City "if we are in League One than if we were in the Champions League" and that the Premier League 's investigation into alleged financial breaches cannot be compared with the process that led to a 10-point deduction for Everton. The Toffees were found to have breached the league's profit and sustainability rules during the 2021/22 season and were recently hit with a 10-point deduction, reigniting the debate about the ongoing investigation into City's 115 alleged infractions. Many have argued that City, who have strongly denied the charges against them, could be forcibly relegated from the Premier League due to the extent of the allegations against them, considering Everton were docked 10 points for one rule-break. Guardiola, however, refused to be drawn on comparisons between the two cases and even insisted he'd be more committed to City than ever if the club was forced down the divisions. "

Where does the Dallas Cowboys - Washington Football team rivalry come from?

The Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Football Team (formerly known as the Redskins) have been  bitter rivals for decades , and the beginnings of this fierce competition go beyond just the football field. It began way before the Cowboys were even a team, and interestingly enough,  involves a song . Commanders vs Cowboys: Follow the live action here! Murchison goes team-shopping Texas oil magnate Clint Murchison, Jr. badly wanted  to have an NFL team in Dallas , Texas, but did not find the going easy. His initial attempts at buying a team failed, then thought he would finally get his chance when he entered talks with the owner of the Washington Redskins George Preston Marshall to buy his team. But the deal fell through after Marshall asked to modify the particulars of the deal at the last minute. This was unacceptable to Murchison, who then  called off the negotiation s. The Texas Quote of the Day is a good one: "In the late 1950s, Clint Murchison realized that the NFL was about

Harry Maguire accepts apology from MP who mocked him

Image
Harry Maguire has accept ed an apology from the Ghanaian Member of Parliament who previously ridiculed him. Maguire has often faced significant criticism for his performances after becoming the world's most expensive defender upon moving to United back in the summer of 2019. Though such disapproval has come from all corners of the globe on various platforms, he would have been surprised to hear his name tarnished in Ghanaian parliament last year. In December 2022, MP Isaac Adongo claimed that Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia was the 'economic Maguire' due to the Bawumia's New Patriotic Party budget mismanagement. But in parliament on Tuesday, Adongo walked back on his disparagement of Maguire and offered forth an apology to the United centre-back. "You remember that last year I was very quick to call my big brother, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Harry Maguire. Mr Speaker, I now apologise to Harry Maguire," Adongo said. "Today, Maguire has turned the corner and

Bernardo Silva vows to help Man City beat Man Utd to transfer target

Image
Bernardo Silva has revealed he will try to convince Portugal teammate Joao Neves to join him at Manchester City and turn down the advances of Manchester United. Neves has quickly announced himself as one of Europe's best young midfielders since breaking into Benfica's first team last year and helping them to the Primeira Liga title. The 19-year-old's fine form has continued into this term and he is being monitored by many of the continent's biggest sides. 90min understands that representatives from Arsenal, Liverpool and United all kept a close eye on Neves during Benfica's late 2-1 win against Sporting CP in the Lisbon derby prior to the November international break, while City are also interested in the midfielder. Neves has now been capped three times by Portugal after breaking into the senior squad for their October and November internationals.

History of National Peanut Butter Fudge Day This special day was established by the National Peanut Board and is the perfect time to indulge in this sweet treat.

Man Utd sent warning over Sir Jim Ratcliffe transfer mistakes by Nice defender

Image
OGC Nice captain Dante's criticism of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's ownership of the Ligue 1 club have re-emerged ahead of his purchase of a 25% stake in Manchester United. Ratcliffe's INEOS company is set to buy a huge stake of Man Utd, purchasing one quarter of the club's shares at a price of $33 per share, with his minority takeover of the club expected to be announced imminently. While Man Utd fans are notably joyous over the fact that the i NFL uence of the much-derided Glazer family will be lessened at Old Trafford, quotes from a L'Equipe interview with Nice defender Dante have re-emerged which may temper expectations regarding Ratcliffe's ownership. Dante is the current Nice captain, and has played for the club owned by Ratcliffe since the 70-year-old purchased the club in 2019.

Has the Golden Boy award winner ever won the Ballon d’Or?

The star of Real Madrid sensation Jude Bellingham continues to rise, with the Englishman winning Italian newspaper Tuttosport’s Golden Boy award just weeks after he won France Football’s Kopa Trophy. The former crowns the best male player under the age of 21 playing in a European country’s top division, with the latter open to those of the same age worldwide. Bellingham’s superb start in Madrid Given the 20-year-old’s excellent performances for Borussia Dortmund and hugely impressive start to life in Spain (13 goals in 14 Game s, including a double to win El Clásico against Barcelona), it doesn’t come as much of a surprise to see him pick up another gong. 🚨⭐️ OFFICIAL: Jude Bellingham wins the Golden Boy Award as best talent in the world for 2023!@GoldenBoyAwards will be delivered in Turin on December 4. pic.twitter.com/defzlhULBJ — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) November 17, 2023 Bellingham joins a list of illustrious (and some less so) names who have been named Golden Boy si

Image
Manchester United pair Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen have both been forced to withdraw from the Denmark squad for this month's international break. Second in their Euro 2024 qualifying group, Denmark are due to play leaders Slovenia and the already eliminated Northern Ireland with a place in the final tournament on the line. The Danes will book their place in Germany next summer with one more win from those final two Game s, or if Kazakhstan drop points against either San Marino or Slovenia.

Napoli midfielder Jesper Lindstrom and Trabzonspor defender Jens Stryger Larsen have been called up as replacements by national team boss Kasper Hjulmand.

Meanwhile, Eriksen went off just before half-time with what a

What does the Dallas Cowboys star mean and why are they considered America’s Team?

Image
The Dallas Cowboys have enjoyed a positive start to the 2023/24 season, winning five of their opening eight Game s to lie second in the NFC East. They continue to be one of the best-supported teams in the country and have extended their sell-out streak to more than 20 years . The last time they failed to sell all available tickets for a Game was in 2002. That incredible popularity is the reason for their nickname, ‘ America’s Team ’. In 1978 Bob Ryan, now the editor-in-chief of NFL Films, coined the moniker while preparing their season highlight reel. Full screen The Dallas Cowboys remain one of the most popular sporting franchises in the United States. HARRY HOW AFP Ryan has since explained: “I saw all these fans in away stadiums. Hey, they’re the most popular team in the country. How can I use that? Why don’t we call them America’s Team?” For the first Game of the 1979 season CBS commentator Pat Summerall introduced them as ‘America’s Team’ and they have been known as such ever
