As if things weren’t already hard enough

Remember when Pickford shattered Van Dijk’s knee on an egregious high tackle, knocking him out for a season?

Big Virg does.

In an attempt to curb a post-migraine bout of depression, I put on an audiobook about the history of Israel-Palestine and wandered around Costco.

Everyone thinks we live in “Oppenheimer” but we actually live in “Dr. Strangelove”

All I’m saying is if I’m on the Artemis right now, I’m debating not coming back.

Pretty good day to be a UCLA alum. This is one of the most dominant championship game performances I’ve ever seen — regardless of sport.

The bar is showing Alien in the background and I cannot look away. Perfect movie.

Karma works in mysterious… and not so mysterious ways

Good take.

Italy hasn’t played in a World Cup since the Obama era.

Also, if we owe an own goal here, we’ll fully own it.

Missing Chawinga hurts a lot, no doubt, but there’s more going on.

This is something else — we’ll do a deep dive very soon.

They just remodeled PDX and it’s GLORIOUS. You couldn’t fire a coach on a nicer tarmac.

In case the @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social weren't aware, here are a few examples of Missouri "sundown towns" from as recent as the 1990s. 🙃

Turning off the Television so I can listen to Televison.

Now THAT is how you foul a GK. #uwcl

Houston: 83F with 42% humidity. I don’t know about @evandavissports.bsky.social, but that’s exactly my personal limit for wearing a fox costume.

If I'm a Dash fan, this is hard to swallow but I can see the logic from a front office POV.

Ryan in 2025: hovering around the 50th percentile in everything (bar xA p96) but likely being compensated like a Top 10 attacker in the league.

Sheehan in 2025: lots of touches but little efficiency or defensive output.

It's the second part about Houston not reinvesting that's the problem.

… but if I’m buying the team, I like that they are cheap now and can be rebuilt with maximum roster flexibility in mind. I think there are genuinely very smart people working in the Houston front office.

Hot take — this is really, really good business from Houston.

How bad is Siena’s bench? We may never know.
