Whenever people complain about the transfer portal and players getting paid - I always bring up mercenaries coaches like lane kiffin who preach loyalty then will leave everyone high and dry for 30 pieces of silver. Least players have recourse now, before they had nothing when a coach screwed them.

Cal bringing the #Pac12AfterDark energy tonight.

Vancouver beating Miami in the MLS Cup Final would be the truest vindication for MLS sickos.

first quarter summary for Ohio State: Once Again, I Have Been Lured Into A Headbutting Contest By The Guy Who Headbutts

Oh look, arch manning finally living up to a fraction of his hype.

This is in the running for my favorite lecture slide ever

We got some handbags at the Egg Bowl…

Martin O’Neill Still got it!

Again, when this is all over with Trump & his apparatchiks. No “let bygones be bygones”. No forgiveness without atonement. No forgetting the crimes for the sake of political expedience. Biden tried that and failed. Charges need to filed. Cases need to be open. Justice demands no less.

Thank god Merritt doesn’t own the Thorns anymore. Within 96 hours we would be stuck with yet another one of David Beckham’s inner circle of fluffers…

*me being possessed by my Munster grandmother for 15 seconds.* “I would have thrown him out a month ago for wearing that poppy on the pitch & shipped his arse back to England!” *her eternal coil leaves my body* Wait… what just happened? Did anyone else feel a sudden chill?

My internal “Portland soccer conspiracy brain” alarms are going off tonight… trying to keep my thoughts to myself.

Disney would be forced at saber point into a big-budget Rogue Squadron series by the same production team as Top Gun ripping off WW2 films & early Tom Clancy novels.

I hope it is a genuine “world wide search” and not just one of Agoos friends or USMNT/USWNT in crowd dude bro/gal pal.

Wow. I genuinely thought Gale bought himself another year with the playoff run despite the injuries. I can also see the POV of ownership/Agoos wanting to bring in “their” person as well. Cold blooded. Understand it but still cold blooded. #baonpdx

Me seeing the Thorns congratulating someone on getting U20 caps from that wretched empire of bad teeth & eel based cuisine.

To paraphrase the great fictional Vice President Selina Meyer: “In the future I hope the next president sends so many investigators, auditors, & attorney’s up USSF, CONCACAF, FIFA, & Gianni Infantino’s collective arses - the only thing they pray they find is cancer.”

I really think as part of the Democrats government reform efforts is to combine the two Dakotas as one state as it was originally intended to before the Republican gerrymander of 1889.

Timeline. 🔴13 Nov - Ronaldo gets red card in Portugal’s game v ireland. (Should miss opening 2 games of World Cup.) 🟠18 Nov - Ronaldo meets Donald Trump at White House. 🟢25 Nov - FIFA clears Ronaldo to play in World Cup from start.

Both laughing and salivating at the idea of Dick’s hamburger based stuffing. youtu.be/ilIudI2Hoq0?...

So fishing this application for creative ideas to preserve & display a bunch of old 78’s dust covers. I have about 30-40 of these things from various companies. Just framing them in a collage doesn’t feel right & too cool to throw away.

I am starting the Chip Kelly to Penn State rumor just to see the look on Ty from the @solidverbal.com face.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I know this might upset some but I’m happy for Vancouver and hope they win the cup. Feel they never get their due in the Cascadia rivalry.

🎶”Cigarette holder which wigs me over her shoulder, she digs me. Out cattin' that satin doll. Baby, shall we go out skippin ? Careful, amigo, you're flippin', speaks Latin that satin doll.” 🎶

Between the Falconry, right wing eccentric but dangerous politics, & weird scandals after weird scandal - RFK jr is pretty much a prototypical English Tory member of the House of Lords at this point.

Why… why did I open this app before going to bed and read THAT story…

Every time the shocking, perplexing tactic of “giving money to people who need it” is tried, it turns out to work. And yet people who have more money than they could ever need remain baffled.

In the middle of a nursing shortage, while he's also busy deporting nursing staff and blocking visas for even more nursing staff

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople

“Legal, frictionless app-based gambling is the most dangerous consumer product rollout of my lifetime, and is causing a public health crisis that should be treated with the same urgency as though half of men aged 21–45 suddenly became addicted to heroin.” -@thesarahyork defector.com/sports-gambl...

With the penny going away, How am I supposed to measure tire wear in the future?

I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

Respond with a fictional character who would be a perfect fit for Trump’s Justice department.

My god our Justice Department is run by morons shooting themselves in the foot with every attempt at a nefarious act.

The only silver lining is England fans can’t trash America when they lose any more than what the Trump administration, voters, & apparatchiks have already done to this country the last decade.

Who needs booze & drugs when you can just watch Scotland in international matches.

Apropos about nothing. Esperanza Spalding’s City of Roses might be the best about Portland. Definately would be the theme song if i ever did a Portland based sitcom. youtu.be/uy5_e3HiAbM?...

When this is all said and done, I hope the next administration takes the finest tooth comb to all of FIFA’s records and dealings under Infantino within the U.S. If there is wrong doing - even a parking ticket - I want that man prosecuted to the fullest extent of what the law will allow.

The United States should not be holding the World Cup with this pig as president.

There are some days at work where you just hit everything on track including the pace car. This is one of those days.

2/3rds of the way finished with Ghost of Yotei. It’s fantastic and probably the closest a video game has come to a Tarantino film.

Not gonna say too loud as I don’t want to jinx it. Irish football…. We back! That rollercoaster of a match against Hungary yesterday & beating Portugal last weekend has brought me life! Excuse as I try to lose 90 pounds before the playoff to fit in my old Opel late 90’s Ireland home kit. #COYBIG

Catching up on (old) Timbers news. So de Costa injured his shoulder in July & waited until the end of the season to get surgery? I know players want to play through things but that’s ridiculous. Just know what was in the release so don’t want to dig at the team too much but… not good. #rctid

Today in “I screw up my chances at happiness by my constant need to be a smart arse.” Bumble match: “What do you lay awake dreaming of?” Me: “A good condition copy of Art Tatum’s Tiger Rag / St Louis Blues 78’ - Specifically Brunswick 1933 catalog number 6543.”

POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success

*rubs sinuses* So let me get this straight. Zohran Mamdani is constantly told by Democrats that he must apologize for things he never said or did to be accepted. Meanwhile they openly welcome one of the homophobic, racist, & antisemitic members with opened arms. Shameful & disgusting.

In an ideal world Democrats would learn lessons from English Labour about what happens when you chase public polls, listen to consultants more than your base voters, & abandon any sense of moral compass. Yet instead they won’t because “anYOne WiTh a EnGLiSh PuBLIc SchOol eDUcATIon mUSt be SMaRt…”

what perfect album came out the year you turned 16?
