Your flavor scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should

Welcome to Cascadia Derby Week - the best rivalry in all of women's sports #BAONPDX #WitnessTheReign #NWSL To preview the PNW Clash, I am joined by @sounderatheart.com's @voght.org! Portland Thorns 🌹 or Seattle Reign 👑? stumptown-footy.ghost.io/cascadia-der...

Once again we are forced to ask if men are too emotional for sports

It was certainly an unforgettable road trip for the Reign. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/03/seat...

🤨

Stay weird, Portland

They got the win, but this has been an absolutely cursed road trip for the Reign

This game was pitched as a celebration of Rochester soccer roots, since the Rhinos had played there (on a *normal* field) for many years, then later we found out it was due to a 90s throwback concert featuring TLC being held at Sahlen Stadium and no one told the league they'd only be in the outfield

Every time there is a ballpark game or talk of a ballpark game in the league, I have to make sure the youths know about the OG ballpark game

I asked Laura Harvey postgame about her new customized Yeti cooler, which apparently was a surprise for her from some of the training staff. She loves it but is angling to get a nice cushioned top from Yeti to go with it, if anyone has connections...

Obviously a big caveat due to capacity limits, but it’s pretty wild to see KC with the second-smallest crowd of the weekend

Reign, Sounders, M's and Kraken all understood the assignment and collected W's. Torrent and Stars... better luck next time

The third trip in a row in Orlando was the charm for Seattle, who overcame a lengthy weather delay to grab an opening day win. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/03/reig...

The year is 2026, and Jess Fishlock has scored Seattle Reign's first goal of the new #NWSL season. Timeless.

I think we might be looking at an extended halftime break in Orlando #ORLvSEA

10/10 would buy

The NWSL on Victory+ era is off to a promising start

We need to really figure out what’s going on with white culture cause HUNDREDS of times is unbelievable.

It's a very full Seattle sports day: 10 am - Torrent @ Sceptres (Fox 13+ / PWHL YouTube) 12 pm - Stars @ Utica (MASL YouTube) 1 pm - Reign @ Pride (Fox 13+ / Victory+) 4 pm - Sounders @ Earthquakes (Apple TV) 5 pm - Kraken vs Panthers (KONG) Plus M's preseason and Silvertips and Thunderbirds games

We're sat for this women's sports double header 👏 Join us at Rough & Tumble Ballard to watch the Torrent take on the Toronto Sceptres at 10AM and shop our latest merch styles & jerseys! Then stay for the @reignfc.com season opener vs the Orlando Pride at 1PM!

Looking a little dicey for that 4 PM Eastern kickoff of Reign at Pride tomorrow

For context on how big a deal this is, the Breakers only had 27k fans in the *entirety* of 2013, 29k in 2014 and 28.5k in 2015

Seattle Reign: Oh good, we get to go to Orlando in March when it isn't so hot and humid. Also Seattle Reign:

This is the destination of every company that tries to replace creative human workers with AI slop. futurism.com/artificial-i...

It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke. This is not a joke. We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.

Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.

One of the only reasons HIP makes sense for owners vs. raising the cap (which you're not obligated to spend to) is that they don't want the floor to go up as fast. The 50k is the sticking point imo. Which, whew boy.

We’ll be active on two fantasy NWSL platforms this season - check out the details here and set up your own fantasy team before the NWSL season kicks off tonight! www.sounderatheart.com/2026/03/play...

NWSL kicks off tonight! This offseason there was lots of player movement through trades and free agency as two new teams joined the league

For this week's @goldengoalmag.bsky.social newsletter, @salazar.bsky.social wrote about Jorge Mas, the billionaire Inter Miami owner, who just used Lionel Messi to push the Trump administration toward regime change in Cuba goldengoalmag.substack.com/p/theres-mor...

It’s after midnight here in EDT so it’s officially the start of the NWSL season. Remember, the referees and media are definitely out to get your team. Heres to an unhinged 2026!

Just when it looked like rosters were set ahead of opening weekend, the Reign made a big move. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/03/seat...

Jordyn Huitema just posted a goodbye and thank you to Seattle. No news yet on where she’s headed or who/what the Reign might be getting in return. www.instagram.com/p/DVydLu3jYq4/

This weekend’s Reign game is on the league’s new free streaming partner Victory+, so take a few minutes ahead of time to install their app on your smart TV/streaming device of choice and register for an account so you’re ready for kickoff victoryplus.com

Absolutely incredible density of weasel words in this group sales marketing email from USSF for the April USWNT game in Seattle

The NWSL just released its new rule book for 2026, with yes, a new goalkeeper injury policy: players from both teams may not approach their team’s technical area if a keeper sits down, subject to league discipline.

Between this and Ring, we're long overdue a "terrible NWSL sponsors" feature.

Seattle Reign have 22 players returning for the 2026 season. Here's a line-by-line look at the roster, including projected starters and gaps that the team could still fill. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/03/a-lo...

This dead-eyed cretin is effectively illiterate, but if anyone ever pressed Donald Trump or Elon Musk like this in an interview, they would sound exactly the same

I guess it’s some (very skeevy) comfort that Wall Street still apparently holds more geopolitical clout at the White House than the Christofascist armageddon wing of the GOP

The 2026 Seattle Reign season kicks off on Sunday! Get prepared with this @thecoolerguild.bsky.social season preview episode: www.sounderatheart.com/2026/03/the-...

Testing out new nicknames

Over the past year, every single time one of the apps or services I use suddenly became less reliable and more buggy, I never have to look far for the "Claude is amazing and now writes most of my code" post for the devs involved.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE. Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

How you watch the NWSL just got cooler with Victory+. 📺 More on V+ and the Content Hub: bit.ly/4sq775D

I am "bummed Neko Case canceled her show 20 minutes before the opener was scheduled to go on, but thrilled to get home unexpectedly early and go to bed at a reasonable hour" years old

If Maddie Dahlien scores her first senior USWNT goal today AND this skeet gets 10+ likes, I’ll buzz my head and do the reveal on the next episode of @thecoolerguild.bsky.social #uswnt
