I wrote about Wilfried Nancy for @mailonlinescot.bsky.social. The Columbus Crew boss is one of the most intriguing and promising young coaches in the game, but can he fix a Celtic club going through the depths of a civil war?

While LeBron James’ son Bryce drew buzz around Arizona this offseason, he’s yet to play. Meanwhile, another freshman - Koa Peat - already looks like a “10 year NBA vet” as the Wildcats upset No. 3 UConn: www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/colleg...

Not sure how much Bryce James we see tonight

The United States Men’s National Soccer Team: Good?

Mauricio Pochettino's first months in charge of the #USMNT were tumultuous. His rosters are criticized. His team lacked quality wins. But that's all changed in the final months of 2025. How it's gone and how 'negativity is a positive': mol.im/a/15284241 via @dailymail.co.uk

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Hell Site is Hell Site-ing this morning

A Poll That No One Asked For (Nov. 17): Purdue, Houston, UConn, Arizona, Louisville Duke, Illinois, Texas Tech, St. John's, Florida BYU, Alabama, Michigan, Iowa State, Gonzaga Michigan State, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, UCLA NC State, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Kansas, Auburn

My report from Boston last night: AJ Dybantsa is trying to be the first high-profile freshman to lead his school to a title since Carmelo Anthony. While he looks primed for it, he’ll face plenty of pressure. At TD Garden, his No.7 BYU fell to No.3 UConn. mol.im/a/15295017

Was just saying to my friends last night "If you took away MLS Season Pass and just put all the games on Apple TV, I bet you'd double your subscribers by Opening Day 2026" so let's see if that happens

EXCLUSIVE: College sports is now an arms race for finances with schools & NIL collectives selling off whatever they can. From fans attending press conferences, to coaches reading bedtime stories, to "Pirate Pesto" - this is the new era of college sport mol.im/a/15267191

Nothing about Pochettino's approach to squad building has correlated from one window to the other - except for the idea that squad cohesion doesn't matter until you actually get to the World Cup

Gio Reyna has played fewer club minutes this year than any other USMNT player. Hasn't scored or created a goal since January. For months, the rule was: "Players need to perform." Now, Mauricio Pochettino makes an exception for "a special player": www.nytimes.com/athletic/678...

Turns out, the September window was not the "last chance" Pochettino had to tinker with the roster. In comes Gio Reyna and Joe Scally from Germany...

My old building in Astoria that I had to move out of because the rent got too high and was infested with mice and roaches went for Zohran by 28% and all I gotta tell my old landlord is clock’s tickin buddy!

The kind of performance you consider season-defining come May. Looked the part of the top team in Europe in the first half and then, after a moment of madness, showed defensive resilience needed to succeed. An absolutely defining game for Vincent Kompany.

For how great of a first half he had, I have no clue why Luis Diaz thought that was a good idea.

No clue how Marquinhos makes that error. Just absolutely astounding #PSGFCB

You: Mad about the YouTube TV-ESPN blackout because you can’t watch Monday Night Football Me: Mad about the YouTube TV-ESPN blackout bc I can’t watch Auburn v Bethune-Cookman in OT

College basketball finally returns today😃 Bluesky's CBB activity is FAR too low, but I'll keep posting here all the same. Here's a big Starter Pack I created about a year ago. Share it! If there are accounts posting about ball near-daily that should be added, let me know and I'll share tonight.

St. Bonaventure athletic department tells me in a statement: "That report is completely false. There was no exchange, much less altercation, between Woj and officials whatsoever, and Woj is still watching the game as we speak."

Happy Opening Week of College Basketball. Decided to do a little Twitter rundown of my thoughts on the Big East this year and where I think the member schools will finish. Here's a 🧵 with my thoughts (* means making NCAAT):

So this is how it ends

Imagine if HE made the calls @edsbs.bsky.social

See this right here is the kind of delusion that makes UConn fans foam at the mouth when there’s a Final Four in Texas or the year has a “4” at the end and I am not falling for it this time

They were spiritually playing for penalties

There needs to be a case study on how Bichette-Varsho-Kirk-Barger turned into IKF-Varsho-Heineman-Straw. That was a slow, leeching nuclear meltdown of a middle lineup.

We as a society have progressed past the need for “The Los Angeles Dodgers”

This game started on my dinner break for my night shift. Stayed an extra 40 minutes after my shift ended to watch the game, left after the 14th for my hour long trip home. I’m back home. This game is still going.

If you are scared of competing against a trans person in sports, you are simply bitch made. Not a competitor. Not a real baller. You have never really wanted smoke.

The Beautiful Game

Just The Most Normal Competition

(Choking back the demons of the worst moment in my career) Guess Ohtani’s gonna get on a plane to Toronto afterall

Congratulations to the Seattle Mariners on winning the pennant

The man did once sing "We gotta do much more than believe / If we wanna see the world change" So it's good to see him advocating for this and for @slessard.bsky.social out and marching over the weekend.

At a time where fewer and fewer outlets are dedicated to consistent MLS coverage, I'm not sure it's the right thing to go after one that is dedicated to covering your team. Be mad that you missed the playoffs, but don't take it out on a guy asking a legit question.

This referee is going to have a rough second half on his hands if he doesn't start taking control over this game #USMNT

This is why I appreciate @njemurray.bsky.social and @usltactics.com so much. For a league that is still growing, having writers dedicated to covering it consistently is not only a breath of fresh air as a fellow sports writer but also a great sign that the USL values authentic coverage.

Group C in CAF World Cup Qualifying is for the sickos. If Nigeria beat group leaders Benin 1-0 on Monday, then they'd make the World Cup... after SEVEN Tiebreakers. Or, Nigeria could do all that, South Africa could win their game against Rwanda, and none of that would matter.

Up The Greens Forever

Tattoo plans being made. This club.

Very American to have the kids win the Junior Ryder Cup, but lose with their best players. I can't imagine there's any other sport in 2025 that this could apply to. #worldjuniors #4NationsFaceoff
