I used to have a college radio show, and I don't anymore, so I'm going to start posting songs as I think of them here. Came back across Careers in Combat today, a hidden gem from the brilliant Parquet Courts. Feels relevant! music.apple.com/us/album/car...

@oyounothing.bsky.social's analysis on the Union's latest self-inflicted loss, a view the team admits to having as much as the media does: www.inquirer.com/soccer/red-c... via @phillysport.bsky.social

Six (!) story long weekend from me for @phillysport.bsky.social. Let’s work backwards, starting with analysis from the Union’s 2-1 loss to NYCFC: share.inquirer.com/D91PzK

Union’s bid to avenge playoff loss to New York City FC thwarted after 2-1 loss in extra time @oyounothing.bsky.social’s match report: www.inquirer.com/soccer/union... via @phillysport.bsky.social

The Phoenix upset Westtown, who entered Friday as the winners of four straight state titles. On the boys side, the Hill School secured its first state crown since 2018, with a win over Phelps School.

The Hawks were without their leading scorer Gabby Casey on Saturday, while Cardinal O'Hara graduate Maggie Doogan had one of her best scoring performances for Richmond.

Team USA honoring Johnny Gaudreau was one of the most impactful moments of the Winter Olympics. But the Gaudreau family might have made it to Milan without Comcast.

The play-by-play man for the Union's match in Trinidad just described Ash Wednesday as going to church after two days of "absolute fornication." Long live CONCACAF!

Exciting to have a full page worth of Union coverage in @phillysport.bsky.social today, including Jonathan’s excellent feature on Andre Blake, which you should read if you haven’t already: www.inquirer.com/soccer/andre...

To begin @phillysport.bsky.social's week of Union season preview coverage, a big interview with Andre Blake. Why have the soccer gods been so cruel to him over the years? Heading into his 13th season in Chester, Blake has much to say about the Union and Jamaica: www.inquirer.com/soccer/andre...

I'm told the Union's transfer fee for Geiner Martínez was just under $1 million. That and more details in this report with @oyounothing.bsky.social: www.inquirer.com/soccer/geine... via @phillysport.bsky.social

What makes Bradley Carnell tick? He doesn't like to talk about himself, but he did for an interesting hour at the coaches' convention a few weeks ago. A look at what he revealed about his journey and his coaching ways: www.inquirer.com/soccer/bradl... via @phillysport.bsky.social @inquirer.com

At the coaches' convention earlier this month, the Union's Jon Scheer gave a remarkably transparent seminar on the club's renowned youth development system. If you want to know some of the secret sauce, you'll learn some things here: www.inquirer.com/soccer/phila... via @phillysport.bsky.social

You know the game’s not kicking ‘til 7:55. Check out the story I did on Miami’s Mohamed Toure while we wait: share.inquirer.com/6qe88e

OH MY GOD CALEB WILLIAMS!

Folks will see a successful hook and lateral and say “hell yeah”

‘We aren’t done:’ The Union say there are still more additions to come as preseason begins, in particular at left back. A look at the situation with @oyounothing.bsky.social: www.inquirer.com/soccer/union... via @phillysport.bsky.social

I spent Boxing Week in London, taking in the spectacle of English soccer's most famous time of year. This time, it was accompanied by the shadow of an approaching World Cup. So I asked some players aiming to play in the tournament if they're thinking about that: www.inquirer.com/soccer/premi...

Anyone regularly watching the Grizz has seen the Ja Morant news coming for weeks. Issuing my official take: This is the right thing to do, but it sucks that it has to be done. At his peak, Ja Morant was the kind of player Memphis could never sniff in free agency.

Back-to-back games against the Lakers is enough to drive me insane. What do you mean the refs just overturned a shot clock violation cause LeBron gave them a mean look

ICYMI: The Union have finalized a deal to send Jakob Glesnes to the Galaxy, as first reported by @tombogert.bsky.social on Saturday. The Union get $1.1 million in guaranteed GAM over the next two years. Could increase to $2.2 million if Glesnes does well for LA. www.inquirer.com/soccer/union...

Deuce Jones isn’t the best player in the Big 5, but he might be the most exciting. And he seems to have an extra gear against city rivals. Averaged 23.3 in Big 5 games this year and had 19 for the Explorers in last year’s final.

Eastern Conference Semifinal Starting XI ⚡️ 📝 philaunion.co/xiplayoffs3 #DOOP

Grizzlies lose despite a 21-4 advantage on the offensive glass and taking 17 (!!!) more shots than the Spurs. The $240 million dollar forward has 18 on 8-of-20 shooting without Wemby on the floor. This team is burning-sage-in-the arena-level broken.

“I really believe that if I didn’t have [my] birth certificate, I would be somewhere in a facility,” one resident said, recalling that one of the armed federal agents who stopped him on the street aggressively asked if he was from Ethiopia or Ghana. With @mlk50.com
