I’m trying to get my daughters (17 and 15) more into country music. What are some newer artists that would translate well to someone their age?
Most of what I like is older and I don’t think they can relate to a lot of that stuff yet.
The last time most Tottenham fans saw Ange Postecoglou was on the evening of May 25, after the 4-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion which concluded Spurs’ season.
But for one Tottenham supporter, it did not end there.
When lifelong fan Jeremy Conrad went on holiday to Greece the next day, he was surprised to see the Postecoglous staying at the same hotel.
On the last night of his trip, Conrad had a bottle of wine sent to their villa, along with a letter he wrote on behalf of all of his Tottenham-supporting friends.
Dear Ange
Apologies for the slightly impersonal nature of this note but I wanted to make sure I was able to adequately convey the appreciation, love and respect me and my Spurs supporting friends have for you and the work you have done and hopefully will continue to do at our club.
Wednesday 21st May will forever be etched into our collective psyche. It’s made us smile wider, walk taller and laugh louder. You have orchestrated a generational shift in how we feel about our club and how others view us. Tropes have been put to bed and egg collectively smeared on naysayers' faces. Most importantly you have helped reinstate an immense feeling of pride and connection in the team that we love.
You often talk about “family” and the importance it plays in motivating and giving a sense of purpose. Well, from me and my Spurs family we would like to thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts. You never stopped believing, you fought hard to defend and elevate the reputation of our club and we are eternally grateful.
At the buffet you said to me that a bottle of wine wasn’t necessary but I really hope you accept and enjoy this for what it is… A token of our appreciation.
Much love,
Jez (311), Matty, Steve, Mark, Beens, JB, Charlie, Jake, Jonny, Chris, Ollie, Toby, Guy + The COYS WhatsApp Group and The Where's Ed WhatsApp Group.
The next morning, Conrad was having breakfast when he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Postecoglou, thanking him not just for the wine but for the letter, which meant so much to him. And he had a gift in return: a Tottenham home shirt. Postecoglou had signed it himself: ‘To Jez. Ange. COYS!”
A week after that exchange, and just 16 days after Bilbao, Postecoglou has been dismissed as Tottenham manager.

Rep. Warren Davidson on Biden's cancer diagnosis: "I feel terrible for anybody that would go through that, even someone who I really don't like much as Joe Biden ... they're not credible on anything they've done ... the whole thing was a big coverup, and I suspect this cancer diagnosis is part of that whole scheme."
JD Vance's reaction to Biden's cancer diagnosis: "Whether the right time to have this conversation is now or some time in the future, we really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job."
I hope Trump is actually listening to these speakers paying tribute to Jimmy Carter right now. Carter’s accomplishments are praised for how he conducted himself to execute policies. Division and selfish practices won’t help our country. Honor Carter, promote peace and positivity.
Bob Holt never ran out of questions, he never got defensive because he was never offended, and he will never be forgotten. I'll miss you Bob. You were such an important part of my life. There'll never be another one like you. For those of us who have worked alongside you, it will never be the same. 247sports.com/college/arkans…
Day 3, Kings Across America.
Chicago to Madison, Wis.
Stopped at Frank Lloyd Wright residence in Oak Park, Ill., this morning (tad overrated), then walked the UW campus. Had a Spotted Cow with wife Ann on the shore of Lake Mendota. Love the Cow. Bought a case that’ll be in my fridge Nov. 5.
Weather: Chilly, raw.
Miles driven: 147.
Americana (bummer) factoid: Spotted Cow is not sold outside of Wisconsin.
