Tom Murray, provided by Published 6:23 am PDT, Sunday, June 10, 2018 Yui Mok/PA Prince Philip turned 97 on Sunday — and it's been over a year since he announced his official retirement from public service. According to The Telegraph, the Duke of Edinburgh has carried out 22,219 solo engagements and 637 solo visits overseas since he left active military service in 1952. In retirement, the Duke is reportedly enjoying more leisure time at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk — he is an avid carriage driver and enjoys oil painting. His Royal Highness' career will be remembered equally for his sharp wit as he will be for his gaffes, which have often left the nation laughing or reeling.

UM’s Jordan Poole shakes slump, scores career-high 22
James Hawkins The Detroit News Published 5:49 PM EST Nov 17, 2018 Uncasville, Conn. — Michigan sophomore guard Jordan Poole downplayed the question about his shooting performance. After scoring a career-high 22 points in Saturday’s 84-61 win over George Washington in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament at Mohegan Sun Arena, Poole played coy and simply said he felt “pretty normal” during shootaround. That’s when junior guard Zavier Simpson interjected and offered to set the record straight. "I'm going to interrupt right there,” Simpson said. “Me and Jordan, we were having a little contest before the game.
