Fresh off their open date, the Baltimore Ravens prepare for their schedule to become busySix-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was killed in her home in Boulder, Colorado, US, on December 25, 1996. The girl had suffered a broken skull and her body was also found with a garotte around the neck. Images and footage of JonBenet competing in child beauty pageants helped fan interest in the case, which mushroomed hugely in the US and internationally. A lengthy ransom note and a missing person's call initially convinced police the girl had been kidnapped. The note made a demand for US$118,000 on behalf of a "small foreign faction" and threatened to kill JonBenet. "Speaking to anyone about your situation, such as Police, FBI, etc, will result in your daughter being beheaded. If we catch you talking to a stray dog, she dies," it read. JonBenet's body was found in the basement of her family's home on December 26. It was behind a latched door in a basement that an initial police search had determined to be unimportant - as at the time they were checking for a possible kidnapper's escape route, and the door was latched from the inside. Her father opened it during a subsequent search to find JonBenet's body covered by a white blanket. Despite multiple theories being pursued over the years, the murder remains unsolved. The case is still considered open at the Boulder Police Department. Mikhail Gorbachev, the final leader of the Soviet Union, signs the decree relinquishing control of nuclear weapons to Boris Yeltsin at the Kremlin in Moscow, on Wednesday, December 25, 1991. Gorbachev announced his resignation in a live televised address to the nation that same day, drawing a line under more than 74 years of Soviet history. By the fall of 1991, however, deepening economic woes and secessionist bids by Soviet republics had made the collapse of the USSR all but inevitable. The red flag of the Soviet Union was pulled down over the Kremlin that night as well, and replaced with the tricolour of the Russian Federation. Charlemagne, King of the Franks, was crowned as Emperor of the Romans by Pope Leo III in Rome on December 25, 800. Although the Eastern Roman Empire had persisted past the "fall of Rome", the papacy wanted to return imperial glory to western Europe as well. Charlemagne united much of western Europe under his rule, and imposed conversions to Christianity on many of his subjects. However, his capital was in Aachen, not Rome. His Carolingian Empire did not last for long, but it is considered to have planted the seed for the German-based Holy Roman Empire that persisted into the early modern age. US revolutionary general George Washington led a surprise attack across the Delaware River on the night of December 25, 1776. Washington was able to defeat German mercenaries hired by Britain in the Battle of Trenton on December 26 in a crucial turning point of the War of Independence. On December 25, 1951, four University of Glasgow students - Ian Hamilton, Gavin Vernon, Kay Matheson, and Alan Stuart - managed to break into Westminster Abbey and retrieve (or steal, depending on your perspective) the Stone of Scone. The Stone was used in the coronation of Scottish monarchs, until King Edward I took it during his invasion of Scotland in 1296. It has since been used in the coronation of English and British monarchs since that day, up until Charles III. The theft of the stone led to the first closing of the Anglo-Scottish border in centuries. The stone was eventually recovered in February 1952, though the students were not prosecuted for fear of sparking bitter political backlash. Typhoon Phanphone devastated the Philippines on December 25, 2019. Winds hit up to 150km/hr ravaged the country, just a week after a similar typhoon had passed through. The typhoon ultimately killed about 50 people, with 55 missing and hundreds more injured. It left a damage bill of more than $100 million.

With offensive coordinator Joe Brady's "everybody eats" mentality powering the Bills to having the third-highest scoring unit in football (29.1 p/g), there are weapons everywhere you look. One weapon that has been getting more work of late thanks to the injury to Dalton Kincaid is fellow tight end Dawson Knox. The Pro Bowler has put together a good fortnight of production in Kincaid's absence, and Brady knows how big it is to have Knox step up in the way he has. “It's huge, Dawson Knox is a Pro Bowl player, and unfortunately, we got a lot of people, it's hard to get the ball spread around to everybody,” Brady said . “He's the most unselfish player on our football team, and when his opportunities comes, he's making the most of it. He's doing an incredible job in the run game, he brings so much value to us and obviously, what happened with Dalton [Kincaid], but just seeing him go in there and not blink, it's always good to see Dawson rolling.” Denny Medley-Imagn Images Prior to Kincaid's injury, Knox had just one game of over 23 yards, and that was against the Seattle Seahawks (50 receiving yards). Related: Bills Captain Earns AFC Honor After Dominating Chiefs But stepping in for Kincaid over the last two games, Knox has posted back-to-back games of 40 receiving yards, with the Pro Bowler picking up the slack for the offense. The team's mentality of not fussing about who gets the targets and how many means they only care about wins. This has pushed the Bills to a 9-2 record and put them in a good position to strike as the AFC's No. 1 seed. And Knox is doing his part for the cause.

Missed opportunity The Republic of Ireland’s Women’s National Team may never again suffer heartbreak like they did when they were beaten 1-0 by Ukraine, which all but ended their hopes of reaching Euro 2022. But this comes close. A horrendous own goal and a missed penalty by Katie McCabe saw Ireland fall to a devastating defeat that night in Kiev over four years ago. But they learned from that loss and used that experience to reach the World Cup in 2023 to finally reach a first major tournament and banish those demons. The aim was to now reach a first European Championship and after a 1-1 draw in Wales, all that was needed was a victory at a packed Aviva Stadium. But it wasn’t to be and another opportunity to inspire the next generation on a huge stage has been squandered. Goodnight, Eileen Eileen Gleeson admitted recently that she wanted to continue as head coach no matter what happened in these Euro 2025 qualifiers against Wales. Her current deal in charge of the Girls in Green was to run until the end of their Euros campaign, which sadly came to an abrupt conclusion on Tuesday night. Gleeson also admitted that no talks with the FAI had been held over an extension with the Welsh clashes taking her sole focus. "(FAI chief football officer) Marc Canham and I speak all the time, we have a really positive relationship,” she said. “There's been no discussions around a contract, I want to keep all focus... I don’t have the capacity to focus on anything else, only Wales. "Post the games, then we’ll be able to talk about conversations around that.” But given the fact that she has now failed in her primary objective of getting Ireland to the Euros, maybe those talks shouldn’t go the way she hopes. VAR Farce? It didn’t seem like it was working initially but, in the end, there can’t be too many complaints about the decision that VAR reached which ultimately proved decisive. The way VAR is used in the sport can been questioned, as can the handball rule, but in its current guise, it’s no surprise Anna Patten was punished at the beginning of the second half and Wales took full advantage by converting the penalty. The biggest issue on the night was that Ireland didn’t respond to the setback until the closing stages and by then they were 2-0 down having been caught out on the break.'Makes no sense': Trump criticises Biden for death row decisions
