So, with good reason, as Ardern stood at that podium on Saturday she was visibly frustrated. But, even then, there was that well-known positivity that some have called relentless. “We are very close to being in a much-more certain future as our vaccination programme rolls out. We just need to hang in there,” she implored New Zealand. She followed a similar vein when she talked to New Zealand on Sunday: “We just need to keep going,” she said.

One of the most entertaining things during the offseason is watching old games on Youtube. You can really get a sense of how the game has changed and how the team has over the years.

Joe Montana s QB GOAT case starts here. At the peak of his powers at age 33, the 49ers icon was on his own tier in 1989. His completion percentage (70.2), yards per attempt (9.1) and passer rating (112.4) look confusing when compared to his peers. Apex Jerry Rice (17 TDs), Roger Craig and John Taylor made 1989 the West Coast Offense s masterwork, despite Bill Walsh having retired after the 88 season. The defense ranked third, too. The 49ers went 14-2, losing by five total points, and obliterated the Vikings, Rams and Broncos by a 126-26 margin in the playoffs. George Seifert s debut team may be the NFL s best ever.

He played defense. They played offense.
He was a starter. They were reserves.
He made a team-leading seven tackles when the “Just Win Baby” Raiders won Super Bowl XV 40 years ago in the Louisiana Superdome. They barely played.
But of all his Raiders teammates, Todd Christensen and Marc Wilson would play a bigger role in his future than any of the rest.
If not for them, he wouldn’t have changed churches; and if he hadn’t changed churches he almost assuredly wouldn’t have wound up in Utah; and if he hadn’t wound up in Utah, he would not be a member of the 117th Congress of the United States of America.
