Being in Rome when even taxi drivers and waiters will volunteer updates on the state of the Pope’s health is a strange experience. One can only imagine what it must have been like for Vatican watchers or residents before the invention of smartphones, X and the 24-hour news cycle.

It is a new era for the New England Patriots with new coach Mike Vrabel, an apparent franchise QB in Drake Maye, and $129.78 million in cap space to play with. The Patriots should be on the hunt for new playmakers with so much cap space and a 31st ranking in total offense last season. Vrabel and Robert Kraft have a lot of work to do with the upcoming NFL Draft and in free agency to give their young QB weapons to work with.

What began in 1998 with Tony Blair standing in the Globe Theatre to announce a new celebration of books has morphed into something much bigger. Along with Black History Month or World History Day, tomorrow’s World Book Day is now a full member of the woke calendar. This calendar has grown – largely thanks to the UN, which spends millions inventing such initiatives – into a global non-profit industry. In March alone, we have Zero Discrimination Day, World Wildlife Day, and World Day for Glaciers.

The Denver Broncos ranked 17th out of 32 teams in the NFL Players Association's yearly evaluation of workplace conditions. Despite the low overall ranking, the perception of the ownership group, the Walton-Penner family, ranks fourth among all NFL teams. Ownership ranks highly due to its investment in player experience, facilities, and building a competitive roster. The players graded the team's travel with an A, which ranks sixth out of the 32 teams.

The Denver Broncos had a surprising run to the playoffs that saw them go 10-7 and break a 10-year playoff drought. The Broncos can say for the first time since Peyton Manning that they have a franchise quarterback. The key now is building around Bo Nix, and what better way to do it than through the draft and giving Nix a top target? The truth is, as great as Courtland Sutton is, he is not good enough to be a top wide receiver.

Has the merry-go-round of the global elite summit – epitomised by the World Economic Forum (WEF) at Davos, which concluded this weekend – had its day? As I saw at Davos when I was editor of the finance magazine Spear’s, the WEF has been increasingly out of touch for years. The likes of Conrad Black and Jimmy Goldsmith were complaining even 20 years ago that it ‘was over’ and had become a rent-a-celebrity platform.

Surge in Rutshire? Even before Rivals, Disney's riotous TV dramatisation of Dame Jilly Cooper's 1988 bonkbuster, the honeyed Cotswolds could lay claim to being England's most desirable country corner. But with the efforts of Emily Atack, David Tennant, Alex Hassell, Aidan Turner, Victoria Smurfit and the winsome ingénue Bella Maclean - not to mention all those lovely period houses and gorgeous sun-kissed landscapes - Rivals has set pulses racing in the Cotswolds' property market too.

Last year, I wrote here about the dark side of LA, after the Friends actor Matthew Perry was found dead in the hot tub of his $6 million Pacific Palisades house. I grimly predicted that his luxury ocean-facing bungalow – sold on to a developer for over $8 million just a few months after his fatal drug overdose – would become a new stop off on the ‘Movie Star’s Homes’ tours. I was wrong. The Perry multi-million glass bungalow is, reportedly, a charred shell.
