The pumice raft was first spotted in the waters of Tonga in August. Since then, it has been floating towards Australia and is due to arrive at the Great Barrier Reef at the end of January or start of February. Where this enormous piece of pumice came from was unclear, although scientists said it likely formed during an underwater volcanic eruption.

Newton will play for the Patriots in 2020 after signing a one-year deal following his release from the Panthers last March. He is competing to fill the void left by Tom Brady. Asked by reporters about Newton on Friday, Belichick said: “Cam’s a hard-working kid. He really is. He’s worked very hard, I’d say, as all of our players have. “I’d say that certainly for all the quarterbacks, at that position, those guys have been locked in, focused and confident in what they’re able to do and the information they have to give to the team — play-calling, adjustments, audibles, protection adjustments, things like that....

The Broncos’ odds were raised from 9-to-4 to 7-to-2, but their number is still the shortest on the board. New England, now listed at 5-to-1, has surpassed the Seahawks and Packers, even though Green Bay’s number was shortened since last week. The betting numbers suggest parity in the NFL is at a season-high, at least, as eight teams are priced at 12-to-1 or less. Among that group are the Colts and Cardinals, both of whom registered wins on the road in Week 9....
