Very good story from @shelbyswanson.bsky.social on how UNC leaders planned to push through a new arena at Carolina North only to be swamped by the objections of people they were counting on to support it. Dopes. www.newsobserver.com/sports/colle...
Pierluigi Collina came out of retirement to work Everton-Villareal because he was paid to fix the match. He disallowed a goal that should have stood, got his payoff and never worked again. UEFA knew and let it happen.
But can he get me a replacement battery for my phone that actually works
Wait until Kash Patel sobers up and found out he filed a $250M lawsuit against The Athletic.
I mock a certain broadcaster for (still) crediting Ron Francis for the Hurricanes’ success but Kevyn Adams really DID build these Sabres then got fired at the exact moment things finally clicked and will never get the respect he deserves for that.
Konate just sets a full-on pick on Pickford to allow Van Dijk to get on the cross about four yards out from goal
love Premier League football these days

Just wanted to point out that Reese Brantmeier took on the NCAA and won. Full settlement won’t be out until the end of the month, but the NCAA has already changed its rules to comply as of yesterday.
From December 2024 on Brantmeier’s quest:

As a kid, this was the job I always wanted: baseball writer like my grandfather, covering the Cubs.
Then I covered MLB a few years into my career and discovered it was not for me. But for one beautiful Sunday afternoon (with the wind blowing out) it’s great.
I asked Rod before Thursday’s game if he was hoping one of the goalies staked a clear claim in these last four games. Freddie played well in Chicago and he gave him the chance to build his case tonight.
One of these men gets paid an exorbitant amount of money to be a gimmick in his sport. The other guy owns the Savannah Bananas.
I might be rusty these days but I can’t beat that. I tip my (yellow top) hat.
We need to do a blind tasting of the barrel-aged Malort.
NASA is one of the best things about this country. Hope. Innovation. Exploration. Wonder. Give them, the post office, and the national parks service all the money from ICE
astronauts on the moon. affordable college for everybody. building a ton of housing for families. vaccines to end cancers. we can have all this cool stuff if you just vote for the people that want to do it.

Wolfpack’s biggest win since March 2024. Bigger, even.
