Remembering Eric Dane.

Rest in peace Eric. A hero and inspiration to the end

Alyssa Milano, who worked with Eric Dane during his ‘Charmed’ arc from 2003 to ’04, wrote on Instagram: “I can’t stop seeing that spark in Eric’s eye right before he’d say something that would either make you spit out your drink or rethink your entire perspective. He had a razor-sharp sense of humor. He loved the absurdity of things. He loved catching people off guard.” “And when it came to his daughters and Rebecca, everything in him softened. He carried them with him even in rooms where they weren’t present. You could see it in the way his voice changed when he said their names. A breathtakingly beautiful family,” she continued. “The spark. The mischief. The tenderness he kept guarded but never totally hidden... He called me “Milano,” as if it was the only part of my name that mattered. My heart is with the people who were lucky enough to be his home.” See more tributes here: deadline.com/2026/02/eric-d…

George Foreman, forever a legend 🙏🥊

Thank you so much Paddy

@GeraintThomas86 Thanks for the memories Geraint

Thought it was time we made it official. Yes, this will be my last year in the peloton 🤝 It's not been a bad run eh? Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine being a pro for 19 years. There'll be lots of time to reflect but, before then, I've got some big races to prep for 👀

A ‘settlement’ ? I didn’t realise drug offence punishments in sport could be negotiated… what a joke.

I love this from Gabby Gatland. Warren is, and always will be, one of the most influential people in the history of Welsh rugby. I’d like to think he’s welcome at the Principality as a supporter whenever he wants ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@AliBrownleetri @Olympics @worldtriathlon @t100triathlon @TeamGB @adidas @Ride_BMC @SRAMroad @ZippSpeed @BahrainVic13 @Pho3nix_Fdn You absolute legend. Thanks for the inspiration!

It’s time to close this chapter… This marks my transition from professional triathlon, a moment approached with both dread and excitement in equal measure.

Right now at Place du Trocadéro, Paris #GraciasRafa ❤️💛

Vamos, @RafaelNadal!   As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional.   Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I was stepping into your backyard, and you made me work harder than I ever thought I could just to hold my ground. You made me reimagine my game—even going so far as to change the size of my racquet head, hoping for any edge.   I’m not a very superstitious person, but you took it to the next level. Your whole process. All those rituals. Assembling your water bottles like toy soldiers in formation, fixing your hair, adjusting your underwear... All of it with the highest intensity. Secretly, I kind of loved the whole thing. Because it was so unique—it was so you.   And you know what, Rafa, you made me enjoy the game even more.    OK, maybe not at first. After the 2004 Australian Open, I achieved the #1 ranking for the first time. I thought I was on top of the world. And I was—until two months later, when you walked on the court in Miami in your red sleeveless shirt, showing off those biceps, and you beat me convincingly. All that buzz I’d been hearing about you—about this amazing young player from Mallorca, a generational talent, probably going to win a major someday—it wasn’t just hype.   We were both at the start of our journey and it’s one we ended up taking together. Twenty years later, Rafa, I have to say: What an incredible run you’ve had. Including 14 French Opens—historic! You made Spain proud... you made the whole tennis world proud.   I keep thinking about the memories we’ve shared. Promoting the sport together. Playing that match on half-grass, half-clay. Breaking the all-time attendance record by playing in front of more than 50,000 fans in Cape Town, South Africa. Always cracking each other up. Wearing each other out on the court and then, sometimes, almost literally having to hold each other up during trophy ceremonies.   I’m still grateful you invited me to Mallorca to help launch the Rafa Nadal Academy in 2016. Actually, I kind of invited myself. I knew you were too polite to insist on me being there, but I didn’t want to miss it. You have always been a role model for kids around the world, and Mirka and I are so glad that our children have all trained at your academies. They had a blast and learned so much—like thousands of other young players. Although I always worried my kids would come home playing tennis as lefties.   And then there was London—the Laver Cup in 2022. My final match. It meant everything to me that you were there by my side—not as my rival but as my doubles partner. Sharing the court with you that night, and sharing those tears, will forever be one of the most special moments of my career.   Rafa, I know you’re focused on the last stretch of your epic career. We will talk when it’s done. For now, I just want to congratulate your family and team, who all played a massive role in your success. And I want you to know that your old friend is always cheering for you, and will be cheering just as loud for everything you do next.   Rafa that!   Best always, your fan, 
 Roger
