Martin Lewis recreates romantic proposal to glam wife Lara on new ITV show – but viewers are left baffled

MARTIN Lewis fans were treated to a rare insight into his romantic life on his new stat-filled documentary.

The 52-year-old was fronting the show Martin Lewis: How to Win at Board Games on ITV designed to get the nation ready for a festive season of board game battles.

It was a new way to combine Martin’s passions for statistics, numbers and sitting down to play a traditional board game.

Various versions were featured in the show including Monopoly, Risk, Connect 4 and backgammon with Martin providing tips and advice on how best to tackle each family favourite.

But it was Martin’s love for Scrabble which really gave viewers a little insight into his personal life.

Lara Lewington, Martin’s wife, made a rare appearance with him, setting up the word based game and revealing that the pair compete regularly.

Scrabble has formed such an important part of their life that Martin chose the game to help him propose, as Lara explained.

The couple have been married since 2009 and the former Five News presenter described how Martin popped the question.

She said: “Martin proposed to me on a Scrabble set and once he got the letters out I thought he had too many letters because will you marry me is more than seven letters.”

She continued: “So I said ‘what are you doing? You’ve got too many letters on the board’ but he said ‘wait just wait’ and then of course he put them down and I felt bad because I accused him of cheating.”

Martin went on to explain that he’s actually kept a spreadsheet of every single game that he and Lara have played since they met, except for the first 17 games because that would have been “a little bit weird.”

The couple appeared very at ease playing against each other as Martin beat his stunning partner, averaging 54 points a turn at one point.

Away from the romantic Scrabble board though it seems that ITV viewers weren’t all head over heels with the gaming special.

One viewer cheekily said: “Martin Lewis on my tele for an whole hour, giving out tips on how to win at board games this Christmas. I can tell you that in under 2 seconds, mate. Cheat.”

Another seemed upset at the night’s offerings across the channels: “A week before Christmas, and one main channel is showing a sports awards ceremony, while the other features Martin Lewis teaching you how to win at board games. F*** MY LIFE! I might as well dig out my 1982 copy of the Radio Times to see what’s on at 9pm.

A further commented: “What is this abomination of a TV program?!! #martinlewis How to win at board games?!!!”

Martin Lewis' career so far

By Conor O’Brien

Financial journalist and presenter Martin Lewis has had a career spanning three decades.

He’s a familiar face on television, appearing on various shows for ITV.

Let’s take a look at some of Martin’s most notable achievements so far.

  • MoneySavingExpert.com: Martin founded this finance information website in February 2003. It is intended to provide information on ways for people to save money. Money Supermarket bought the site in September 2012, with Martin taking on a executive chairman role.
  • The Martin Lewis Money Show: Debuting in September 2012, this current affairs show covers personal finance. It is presented by Martin and a co-host. Initially, this was Saira Khan but more recently, Angelica Bell has stepped into the role.
  • This Morning: Martin has appeared on the daytime show since 2007. He serves as the programme’s Financial expert.
  • Good Morning Britain: Similarly, Martin fulfils a role as Money Saving Expert on ITV’s Good Morning Britain. He first joined the programme in 2021.

But plenty of people were ‘on board’ with Martin’s new show saying: “We’re loving it so far – ‘we often teach children the rules of the game rather than how to play the game’ is so true about way more than Connect4!”

Others agreed saying: “Thoroughly enjoyed every minute!! I’d love to see more anytime please Martin!”

As well as his new board game show, the Money Saving Expert has recently announced he’ll also be trying out another new role, appearing on a special edition of Taskmaster.

Football club chairman sacks ENTIRE team and manager in bonkers bid to avoid relegation

A top-flight club’s chairman has reacted to his team’s dismal start to the season – by sacking EVERY PLAYER as well as their coach.

Sloboda Tuzla are bottom of the Bosnia & Herzegovina Premier League after taking just two points from 17 games.

President of Sloboda Tuzla, Azmir Husic, sacked his entire squad and head coach after picking up just two points so far this season[/caption]

In a record worse than Southampton‘s, the newly-promoted side have scored just five goals and lie 12 points adrift of safety.

So club president Azmir Husic decided to dispense with the entire squad alongside coach Zlatan Nalic.

But he insisted Sloboda can sign the players needed to stay up with 16 games left to play – despite financial problems that have seen the club’s bank accounts blocked.

Husic said: “It was one of the hardest days of my life, as I had to tell the players they are no longer part of the club.

“We have released the entire squad, and I have already met with coach Nalic to end our collaboration.

“So far seven players have signed termination agreements, and I expect the others to do so in the coming days.

“I am convinced that we can assemble a better team than the one that has just picked up two points so far.

“That is even if we just recruit players from the Tuzla area or the Bosnian league.

“I think we need a new face, who will try to deal with everything.

“It will be difficult to make a new team, but it is doable.”

Braless Katie Price braves the cold as she goes shopping in see-through vest top – after landing huge panto fee

KATIE Price braved the chill in a skimpy vest top for a festive shopping session.

The former glamour model, 46, showcased the results of her 17th boob job in the skimpy attire that clung to her curves and flashed her tummy tattoo.

Katie paired it with a trendy pair of jeans and snug furry sandals as she hit the shops in Cheshire.

The mum of five pulled back her hair in a high ponytail to show off the results of her recent £10K facelift and donned minimal make-up.

She was seen wheeling her suitcase around a department store, with a selection of items piled on top.

This included a nude bodysuit and red outfit, as well as a grey jumper.

Katie was then spotted rifling through the swimwear selections mounted to the wall.

The former glamour model has temporarily re-located to live with BFF Kerry Katona during their festive theatre stint in Northwich, Cheshire.

The two pals play the wicked stepsisters in the production of Cinderella at Northwich Memorial Court.

Kerry – who recently split with her long-term fiance Ryan Mahoney over a “breach of trust” – is now being “supported” by Katie as the pair star in their show, which runs until December 31.

A source exclusively told The Sun: “Katie has moved in with Kerry during their panto run.

“It’s great timing for Kerry after her break up and Katie is being a huge support.”

The source went on: “They will be working and living together, even spending Christmas together.”

CASHING IN

Earlier this week, The Sun was first to reveal double bankrupt Katie’s whopper panto fee.

The cash strapped star is scooping up an eye-watering five-figure salary for her latest pantomime gig.

Katie Price's Surgery: A Timeline

1998 – Katie underwent her first breast augmentation taking her from a natural B cup to a C cup. She also had her first liposuction

1999 – Katie had two more boob jobs in the same year, one taking her from a C cup to a D cup, and then up to an F cup

2006 – Katie went under the knife to take her breasts up to a G cup

2007 – Katie had a rhinoplasty and veneers on her teeth

2008 – Katie stunned fans by reducing her breasts from an F cup to a C cup

2011 – Going back to an F cup, Katie also underwent body-contouring treatment and cheek and lip fillers

2014/5 – Following a nasty infection, Katie had her breast implants removed

2016 – Opting for bigger breasts yet again, Katie had another set of implants, along with implants, Botox and lip fillers

2017 – After a disastrous ‘threading’ facelift, Katie also had her veneers replaced. She also had her eighth boob job taking her to a GG cup

2018 – Katie went under the knife yet again for a facelift

2019 – After jetting to Turkey, Katie had a face, eye and eyelid lift, Brazilian bum lift and a tummy tuck

2020 – Katie has her 12th boob job in Belgium to correct botched surgery and a new set of veneers

2021 –  In a complete body overhaul, she opts for eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, fat injected into her bum and full body liposuction

2022 – Katie undergoes another brow and eye lift-and undergoes ‘biggest ever’ boob job in Belgium, her 16th in total

2023 – Opting for a second rhinoplasty, Katie also gets a lip lift at the same time as well as new lip filler throughout the year

2024 – Katie has her 17th boob job in Brussels after revealing she wanted to downsize. She performed at Dublin Pride just days later and surgeons warned the lack of recovery posed a risk of infection

Katie was declared bankrupt for a second time in March over an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05.

Yet she won’t have to pinch the pennies this Christmas as The Sun has learned she’s landed a £50,000 payday for the festive gig in mid Cheshire.

An insider said: “Katie knows her worth and she won’t take a penny less.

“Despite everything she’s a shrewd negotiator and her name still has some pull when it comes to booking gigs.

“The panto organisers are thrilled with the response to Katie and Kerry being in the show so far and in their eyes it’s money well spent.”

Shortly after it was announced the duo would be involved and tickets for the production went on sale in September it was revealed Cinderella had broken box office records.

Kim Kardashian is ‘not dating a real estate investor’ but is ‘spreading rumors to make her more desirable’

DESPITE there being several reports Kim Kardashian is dating a real estate investor, the fashion mogul is still allegedly single.

A source has exclusively claimed to The U.S. Sun that despite there being reports of Kim dating somebody – she is not.

Not only is Kim still single and not dating a real estate investor, as reported earlier this month, but also the romance rumors are supposedly fabricated to make her seem “more desirable,” claims an insider.

The source explained how Kim and her alleged lover “have never been seen in restaurants or out and about,” with the rumors “made up” by Kim and her mom, Kris Jenner.

“There are reports Kim is ‘privately dating a real estate investor.’ Just like Khloe was also ‘privately dating a businessman’ a year back or so,” the source explained to The U.S. Sun.

“They have never been seen in restaurants or out and about.

“Kim and Kris just spread the word to make it seem like it’s not ‘poor Kim, why won’t anyone date her,'” the insider continued to allege.

The source then claimed, “Kim does not have a boyfriend – but Kris doesn’t want it to look like men don’t want to date her.” 

A rep for Kim did not respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.

NEW MAN?

This comes after it was reported last week that Kim is dating somebody new.

Page Six reported that the SKIMS founder “isn’t in a committed relationship” but is “dating somebody new.”

The outlet reported that a source claimed: “[Kardashian] is dating a few people at the moment.

“She met the entrepreneur through mutual friends.”

The source also spilled to the outlet that Kim’s alleged lover “is not the first person she’s dated since her split from Odell.”

KIM AND ODELL’S FLING ‘FIZZLED OUT’

Kim split from NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. eight months ago when it was reported that their fling had “fizzled out.”

The SKIMS founder was previously married to Kanye West, whom she shares her four children with.

Kim and Ye met in 2000, became friends in 2008 and began dating in 2012.

A Quick Look at Kim's Business Empire

SKIMS is just one part of Kim Kardashian's multi-million dollar business empire. The reality TV star makes money from a multitude of jobs.

The Kardashians on Hulu – 2022 to present

SKIMS – an underwear, loungewear and shapewear brand founded in June 2019

SKKN – skincare and makeup line

Kim has also acted on American Horror Story, received endorsements from numerous companies, and more making her net worth a little above $1 billion

They then got married in May 2014 and had four children together: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. 

Kim then filed for divorce from the rapper in February 2021, citing a “difference of opinion” in the papers. 

The divorce was finalized in November 2022 and Kanye moved on instantly with Bianca Censori, an Australian model and architect employed by his company YEEZY.

‘FABRICATED ROMANCE RUMORS’?

As per the source, who claims that the rumors of Kim dating again are fabricated, they also touched upon how Khloe Kardashian was reported to be dating a private equity investor back in 2022.

According to People in June 2022, the Good American cofounder met the private equity investor at a party and was introduced to him by Kim.

The outlet added that at the time, Khloe was “feeling really good with her new mystery man.”

The source seemingly drew comparison between Khloe’s rumored mystery man in 2022, to Kim’s now rumored dating situation earlier this month.

Joe Burrow and Sports Illustrated model Olivia Ponton ‘hooking up’ months before home burglary raid

JOE Burrow and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton have reportedly been in a relationship since the early fall.

The news comes after it was revealed last week that Ponton called the police after a burglary at the Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback’s residence.

People reported on Monday that Burrow and the model have been “hooking up since the early fall and are keeping it casual.”

The 28-year-old Burrow played in a Week 14 Monday Night Football contest with the Dallas Cowboys when thieves broke into his luxury house.

According to TMZ, Ponton phoned 911 and told the operator, “Someone broke into my house… It’s completely messed up.”

The 22-year-old’s presence at Burrow’s home in Anderson Township, Ohio turned heads as he had been dating his long-time girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher since college.

Ponton has over 10 million followers combined on Instagram and TikTok and said in the police report that she was an employee of Burrow’s.

During a press conference, Burrow spoke about the burglary and revealed that he didn’t appreciate the details that were made public following the situation.

“So obviously everybody has heard what has happened,” Burrow told reporters after a practice last week.

“I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one.

“And way more is already out there than I would want out there and that I care to share, so that’s all I got to say about that.”

Burrow met his former girlfriend Holzmacher during their days at Ohio State.

She supported him during his last two years in college and the first six-and-a-half years of his NFL career, including when he made a Super Bowl appearance in 2022.

However, it appears that Burrow and Holzmacher are no longer a couple amid his romance with Ponton.

Currently, Burrow lives in the $7.5 million luxury pad he bought in 2023.

He and Ponton have yet to confirm their relationship.

The robbery took place when Burrow’s Bengals defeated the Cowboys 27-20 in Dallas.

It comes after the NFL issued a security alert to teams and the players’ union following recent burglaries.

Kansas City Chiefs superstars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce both had their mansions broken into while they played games.

The league’s memo warned that the home of professional athletes in the sports world has become “increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.”

The U.S. Sun reported Kelce’s first Super Bowl jersey was among the items stolen from his Leawood, Kansas mansion.

I’ve covered royals’ Christmas for decades, shock hilarious comment to the public stole the show one year

ROYAL photographer Arthur Edwards has revealed the shocking moment Princess Anne stole the show one Christmas Day.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, he shared how the office rang requesting photos from the royal family’s church outing of the late Queen’s only daughter.

He shared how the photographers had been “desperate” to get a photo of the then-Zara Philip’s tongue piercing, which had been a stir at the time.

However, it was Princess Anne’s remark which was the main story in the end.

Arthur shared: “We’re all desperate to get this picture of the tongue, you see, and then I’m driving back to London, and the office rang and said” Have you got a picture of Princess Anne?”

“I said, no, no, this story is about Zara Phillips and the stud.”

It turned out that Princess Anne had said a shocking three-word remark to a dedicated fan who had painstakingly crafted a flower bouquet for her.

The royal photographer told The Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson: “She got a bouquet, Princess Anne, off one of the visitors. 

“She said, ‘I’ve been up all night making this’, and Princess Anne said, ‘You must be mad’.

“And that was the story.

“Although the stars of the royal family are there – obviously Catherine and William and the children and our King and Queen – but sometimes the stories elsewhere, and I missed it, I’m afraid.”

Matt commented how he often meets royal fans on Christmas Day who have been there from 5am or 6am, and some who have flown over from America and Canada.

Arthur added: “It’s a great day. I quite enjoy it. Everybody’s very festive.

“For the King, this is Christmas, it’s a family time and he wants all the family there.”

Royal traditions

Every year the royal family flocks to Sandringham to celebrate Christmas together.

While celebrations at Sandringham are always opulent, the royals also like to let their hair down with some fun, perhaps common, party games.

The royals show their fun sense of humour when exchanging Christmas gifts. Don’t expect expensive jewellery and tech equipment, the royals instead buy each other novelty gifts.

“The name of the game is to buy cheap, witty presents,” Jennie Bond says. “The gifts are to make people laugh, not to be expensive.”

Kate once, when he was single, gave Harry a Grow Your Own girlfriend kit, while Princess Anne once gifted her older brother Charles a leather toilet seat.

Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales reportedly once gave his grandmother, the late Queen, a pair of slippers with her face on them. 

She [a royal fan] said, ‘I’ve been up all night making this’, and Princess Anne said, ‘You must be mad’.

Arthur Edwardsroyal photographer

“These gifts are opened on Christmas Eve, a German tradition the family have adhered to for many decades,” Jennie says.

“They open their presents around teatime and the gifts are all laid out on a long table covered with a white tablecloth.

“Each pile of presents has a name attached and according to Prince Harry, at an appointed moment, they all start ripping open their gifts!”

After the exchanging of gifts at 4pm, the royals get ready for the Christmas Eve black tie dinner.

“Christmas at Sandringham gets into full swing on Christmas Eve,” Jennie says. 

The adults-only soiree often kicks off with a martini reception, followed by a four-course meal often featuring a course of beef.

Dessert is often chocolate – the late Queen’s favourite – as well as a cheese board.

Prince Harry wrote in his autobiography Spare how the family dines at a “long table covered with white cloth and white name cards.”

Sussex Christmas

This year the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly not attending, and are thought to be celebrating in California

Meanwhile, Prince Andrew won’t be joining the Royal Family at Sandringham for Christmas after his “close confidant” Chinese “spy” was unmasked.

The Duke of York has decided to give the celebrations a miss this year.

It is understood his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York, has also dropped out from the Norfolk festivities.

The pair are said to be staying at Royal Lodge, in Windsor, for the period instead.

Both Andrew and Fergie‘s daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, had already chosen to spend Christmas with their respective in-laws.

Who is Luke Stoltman’s wife Kushi and how long has she been married to Europe’s Strongest Man

FIVE-TIME Scotland’s Strongest Man champion Luke Stoltman is married to “Strongwoman” Kushi Stoltman.

But 2024 has been a year of extreme ups and downs for the couple — they welcomed their first child before splitting up amid claims of infidelity.

https://www.instagram.com/kushistoltman/p/CxSTElILFqz/?hl=en&img_index=1 Kushi Stoltman

In November 2024, current European strongman champ Luke Stoltman was ditched by his heartbroken wife after she accused him of trysts with a female powerlifter.

The hulking sportsman’s partner Kushi claimed her husband was hooking up with the fellow competitor while their child was unwell in hospital.

Here’s everything you need to know…

Who is Luke Stoltman’s wife Kushi?

Kushi is the wife of professional strongman Luke Stoltman, who also goes by the moniker “The Highland Oak”.

The couple married in 2016 and held their wedding ceremony in Kincraig Castle Hotel, near Luke’s hometown of Invergordon in the Scottish Highlands.

According to her LinkedIn, Kushi has been an Administrative Assistant at Global Energy Group since 2019.

She has also worked in similar positions at different companies in the past.

Brother-in-law

Kushi’s husband Luke is the brother of fellow professional strongman competitor and the current World’s Strongest Man, Tom Stoltman.

He was inspired to begin weight training after being influenced by Luke, who then took his younger sibling under his wing to mentor.

Tom won the World’s Strongest Man competition two consecutive times having become the first Scot to lift the title in 2021, before going on to be crowned again in 2024.

Kushi also has a passion for fitness and regularly shares health and diet content on her social media pages.

The vlogger, who describes herself as a “strongwife”, is very active on Instagram, where she boasts over 38k followers as of December 2024.

Her Youtube channel also has over 13k subscribers.

Supportive wife

Until the infidelity accusations, Kushi had been extremely supportive of her husband’s career.

She regularly travelled to support Luke at strongman contests and other weight lifting events.

I thought my world was complete going through so much heartache to get my beautiful baby boy and finally get pregnant and getting that happily ever after I’ve always wanted with my husband after trying for so many years

Kushi StoltmanInstagram

Vlogging about the experience, she revealed the epic highs and lows her husband would go through at major competitions.

In 2022, she and Luke jetted to the US to meet legend Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In a YouTube video documenting their experience at the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio, Kushi revealed how invested she is emotionally in her husband’s success.

After Luke felt he’d not done as well as he’d hoped, Kushi told the cameras: “You know when they work so hard for something you really feel for them when they don’t get it.

“When they’re disheartened or upset it really does cut you deep when you know how much it upsets them”.

Similarly, in a 2023 Instagram post she wrote: “Wanting your person to be the best they can be when you know how hard they work day in and day out to achieve this makes your nerves so much more intense when the time comes.

“All the aches, pains and dedication to his career, the sacrifices he makes for others that nobody sees behind closed doors are things just in his nature that makes me love him more”.

Kushi and Luke Stoltman’s baby

Kushi and Luke’s first child together, a son named Koa Devaki Stoltman, was born on February 1, 2024.

On December 29, 2023, Kushi confirmed that her due date was just weeks away.

Alongside a sweet black and white photo of her cradling her bump, Kushi wrote on Instagram: “Nobody ever mentioned to me throughout this whole pregnancy that… You’re about to meet someone entirely new.

“And it’s not your baby, it’s going to be you.

“In a few short weeks my life will be changed forever and I honestly cannot wait”.

Kushi kept her online following updated throughout her pregnancy, regularly sharing adorable pictures of her and Luke with her bump.

She also documented their life as they prepared their home for their new arrival on YouTube.

In October 2023, Kushi revealed the sex of the baby, confirming that they were expecting a baby boy in an adorable vlog.

Shortly after the gender reveal, Kushi told her Instagram followers that she had “never been more in love with somebody I’ve never met”.

She added: “Feeling baby boy’s little kicks and movements is beyond magical even at 4am in the morning”.

Infidelity claims

Following the accusations of cheating, Kushi broke her silence with a heartfelt social media post.

She also made further claims of adultery and said she was “heartbroken and devastated”.

Kushi wrote on Instagram: “I thought my world was complete going through so much heartache to get my beautiful baby boy and finally get pregnant and getting that happily ever after I’ve always wanted with my husband after trying for so many years.

“Our son is 9 months old now and this weekend after our son has been in hospital so sick and Luke refusing to come and see him in hospital because he was with another woman behind my back.

“I am absolutely heartbroken and devastated that someone could be so cruel and nasty.

“He is not the man he portrays himself to be.

“Thank you very much Luke Stoltman… for torturing me.

“I have no idea how people in this world can be so cruel.”

Posting on his own Instagram in response, Luke said: “I want to acknowledge the pain caused to my family, friends and community by recent social media and news.

“I regret the mistakes that I have made and the impact they’ve had, especially on my family, Kushi and my son, who is my world.

“While not everything shared is true, I want to be clear that I was with my son in hospital.

“I am committed to acting responsibly and rebuilding the trust of those who feel let down.

“I am deeply grateful for those who continue to support me, and my focus remains on charging for my son and supporting those affected by this situation.

“I respectfully ask for privacy for my family as we navigate this matter together”.

Mysterious 7,000-year-old ‘alien’ statues with elongated skulls & lizard features unearthed at ancient Stone Age site

MYSTERIOUS alien-like statues with bizarre elongated skulls and lizard features have been unearthed at an ancient Stone Age site.

Archaeologists discovered the statues from 7,000 years ago in Kuwait, unlocking key understanding on the origin and evolution of one of the oldest settlements in the Arabian peninsula.

The Bahra 1 site has been a key source for understanding ancient Stone Age societies in Arabia since 2009.

It was one of the Arabian Peninsula’s oldest settlements, with occupation from around 5500 to 4900 BC.

Excavations carried out at the site have led to key insights specifically into the Ubaid culture, which came from Mesopotamia, a region in Iraq, over to Antolia and the Arabian peninsula.

Now, a dig has unearthed bizarre alien-like clay heads at the site.

They bear stark similarities to aliens, with elongated skulls and lizard features that are the same features given to the space creatures today.

Researchers say these features however are the characteristics of figurines from the Ubaid culture.

Similar pieces of pottery have been found in Mesopotamia, but the Bahra 1 discovery is a first for the Gulf region – making them a breakthrough find.

Archaeologist Piotr Bielinski said: “Its presence raises intriguing questions about its purpose and the symbolic, or possibly ritualistic, value it held for the people of this ancient community.”

The discovery also sheds light on the different sizes and types of pottery produces in the region.

Two types of pottery were in use in the larger Arabian region.

One was the Ubaid pottery, which was imported from Mesopotamia, and the other was local pottery called Coarse Red Ware – tempered with quartz and mica.

Coarse Red Ware’s production locations remain unknown, but it was known to have been made locally in the Gulf region.

Due to the latest dig that unearthed the alien-like creations, Bahra 1 has sourced incredible evidence in the form of unfired clay vessels that Coarse Red Ware was produced near modern-day Kuwait.

Archeologists say that it also solidifies that Bahra 1 is the oldest known pottery production site in the Gulf region.

Plant fragments that had been added during the manufacture of some of the creations may also provide insights about the Arabian peninsula’s environmental history too.

Organic traces have been found within the clay of both Ubaid ware and the Coarse Red Ware in yet another breakthrough discovery.

Experts hope the fossil plant remains can help in identifying local flora all the way back from the mid-6th millennium BC.

Archaeologist Roman Hovsepyan said: “Early analyses have revealed traces of wild plants, particularly reed, within the locally produced pottery, while cultivated plant remains including cereals like barley and wheat have been found in the imported Ubaid ware.”

Michael Vick’s Fox NFL Sunday future in doubt after taking up huge new career venture

MICHAEL Vick is set for a major career change after accepting a college football head coaching position.

Vick is reportedly the next head coach at Norfolk State University.

According to David Teel, Vick is taking over the job after the University fired former head coach Dawson Odums.

Odums went 15-30 over his four years at Norfolk State.

Vick signing with Norfolk State is a bit of a surprise, as he was reportedly in deep talks with Sacramento State for their vacant head coaching position.

The president of the university even spoke about his meeting with Vick with ESPN.

“He has expressed interest in the position and yes I did meet with him about his interest in Sac State football and our athletic rise,” president Luke Wood told ESPN.

“As you can imagine, given the success of our athletic programs that our football head coach job is an attractive role.”

Sacramento State has extremely ambitious plans for their football program, with $50 million set aside for NIL, according to NFL reporter Adam Schefter.

The school also plans to build a new stadium and move up to the FBS level in either the Pac-12 or Mountain West conference.

Obviously the Sacramento State pitch wasn’t good enough, as Vick took the job with Norfolk State.

Norfolk State had an advantage though, as the campus is close to Vick’s hometown on Newport News, Virginia.

Now that Vick has accepted the job with Norfolk State, he will likely have to leave his duties with Fox Sports as an NFL analyst.

Vick starred on Fox NFL Kickoff on Sundays to preview the day’s action coming up.

His show aired in the hour before Fox NFL Sunday.

Vick likely can’t hold both roles during the college football season but could make remote appearances or star on the show after the NCAA season ends.

Regardless of whether he keeps his TV job or not, football fans are excited to see how Vick does as a coach in college football.
