O’Neill and assistant manager Keane, who took charge of Ireland in 2013, led the country to this month’s European Championship in France after a playoff victory over Bosnia in November. Keane, who made 67 appearances for Ireland as a player, became part of O’Neill’s backroom staff after failed spells as manager at English clubs Sunderland and Ipswich Town. “It’s a done deal and hopefully we’ll still be here in another two years,” O’Neill told British media....

Here’s the dialogue Simpson said in his video tweeted from Las Vegas, Nevada, as he claimed. “Hey, Twitter world, yours truly, out and about in Las Vegas,” Simpson said as the video began. “But there is a TV on, and I just wanna say, Lamar Jackson … he is the NFL’s most valuable player.

For all we know, “Memories of the Ford Administration” was spliced together entirely out of recyclables: Alf’s half of the story is classic pre-AIDS Updike. “Gerald Ford, in his two years and five months of Presidency,” writes Alf, “presided over a multitude… of one-night stands”-and Alf gets his share. It’s part of the fun that Alf’s remembered ’70s are so Updikean; but the writing here is up to the ’90s standard set by “Rabbit at Rest....
