#OTD in 1883 – Execution of Joe Brady for the murder of Lord Cavendish in Phoenix Park.
Brady was one of the Invincibles – a Fenian splinter group – that murdered the Chief Secretary of Ireland on his first day in the country. Four others were executed for the murders.

Who do you want to win today? I cannot decide for the life of me 😖
For the NFC i'm fairly neutral but I do really like the story of the Lions! I won't be heartbroken if the niners win though.

I can intellectually understand the hatred of the Ravens given all the history between our teams, but I wasn't there, I didn't feel it. Whereas with the Chiefs over the last 3 years, I've felt those games. And it seems like new player Ja'Marr is right there in that boat with us lmao.
Plus I'm so sick of seeing Pat and Travis in every single commercial.
