Patriots honor Ozzy Osbourne following death of rock legend
While the New England Patriots operate in the sports world, the franchise joined the land of heavy metal Tuesday in mourning the loss of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. Osbourne, the former front man of Black Sabbath and the Godfather of heavy metal, died at the age of 76 on Tuesday. Though he hailed from the UK, Osbourne has had a special connection to New England's football team for the last two decades. For over 20 years, the Patriots have taken the field on game day to Black Sabbath's "Crazy Train." Throughout the franchise's dynastic run, Tom Brady sprinted down the field with the heavy metal hit blaring in the background and fired up fans with one of his patented fist-pumps. It was quite the 1-2 punch to get New Englanders ready and pumped for that day's game. Shortly after news of Osbourne's passing broke Tuesday, the Patriots took to X to post a tribute to the rock legend. "The New England Patriots are saddened to learn of the passing of music legend Ozzy Osbourne, who provided the iconic intro for Patriots games for over 20 years," the team posted. "Condolences to his family and all who mourn his loss." While Osbourne and Black Sabbath never played a concert at Gillette Stadium, he made a special appearance at the home of the Patriots in 2005 when he helped the team raise its 2004 Super Bowl banner with a live pre-game performance of "Crazy Train." The Patriots went out and beat the Oakland Raiders, 30-20, that night to open the 2005 NFL season.

Is Tottenham vs Manchester United on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture
Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester United in the Premier League today, with the league's two most underwhelming sides set to face off in the capital. Ange Postecoglou's Spurs sat in 14th in the table going into the weekend – with just 27 points – having exited both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, with questions persisting around the Australian's future at the club. Advertisement And things are not much better at United, with Ruben Amorim's side sitting just two points and one place above Spurs. The Portuguese's start to life at Old Trafford has been underwhelming so far, and while they have taken a place in the last 16 of the Europa League alongside Spurs, it's now a fact that success in that competition is the only potential positive that either club can take from an otherwise disappointing season. Here's everything you need to know ahead of the match. When is Tottenham vs Manchester United? The match kicks off at 4.30pm on Sunday, 16 February at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Advertisement How can I watch the match? The match will be shown live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event and Premier League, with coverage starting at 4pm. If you're not a Sky customer, you can grab a NOWTV Day Pass to watch without a subscription. Confirmed line-ups Tottenham XI: Vicario, Porro, Danso, Davies, Spence, Bentancur, Bergvall, Maddison, Kulusevski, Son, Tel Man Utd XI: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Maguire; Dalot, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Garnacho, Zirkzee; Hojlund What is the team news? Tottenham welcome back goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, for his first start since breaking his ankle against Manchester City in November! There is also a return for James Maddison, while Archie Gray and MIkey Moore drop out. Destiny Udogie and Brennan Johnson are back on the bench. Advertisement Amorim indicated Mason Mount, Jonny Evans, Luke Shaw and Altay Bayindir will remain out on Sunday, with their new setbacks seeing some academy players called up for training. Manchester United start both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, with Amad Diallo ruled out. Casemiro comes into midfield and partners Bruno Fernandes - that's because there's no Manuel Ugarte or Kobbie Mainoo in the squad. To add to that, Christian Eriksen and Leny Yoro are both ill, leaving Ruben Amorim's squad looking very thin indeed. There are eight teenagers on the United bench: Harry Amass , Ayden Heaven, Elyh Harrison Tyler Fredricson, Jack Fletcher, Sekou Kone , Jack Moorhouse and Chido Obi.

Prediction This could well be the Premier League's most difficult match to predict, with neither manager knowing exactly what kind of performance they'll get from their side.
