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

My notebook from St. Joe’s 76-65 win over Drexel Saturday afternoon at Hagan, for @phillysport.bsky.social: www.inquirer.com/college-spor...

My view for the afternoon. St. Joe’s takes on Drexel in the first Big 5 game of the season here at Hagan. Tip is scheduled for 1 p.m., coverage to follow for @phillysport.bsky.social.

For @phillysport.bsky.social, here’s what Jordan Love, Matt LaFleur and a selection of other Packers had to say about the Eagles ahead of their clash on Monday Night Football: www.inquirer.com/eagles/packe...

Bradley Carnell really doesn't like talking about himself. But today, he has no choice. The Union's manager is MLS's Coach of the Year, for delivering a 29-point standings improvement, the Supporters' Shield, and a remarkable revitalization of the club's culture: www.inquirer.com/soccer/bradl...

From @oyounothing.bsky.social: As Big 5 women’s basketball teams hit the court, we answer your burning questions www.inquirer.com/college-spor...

I talked to coaches around the Big 5 to get some insights on the city's women's teams ahead of the season. Here's what I found out: www.inquirer.com/college-spor...

Now updated with post-match quotes:

The tarp is off, and we’re about to get underway in Chester.

The power just went off at Subaru Park. It’s cycling back on, but the video boards around the stadium are dark and the main screen is struggling.

Just your run-of-the-mill inconspicuous black tarp on a stadium wall. Nothing to see here, move along.

Sons of Ben and the Union Yards are getting started early ahead of the Union’s first round playoff matchup tonight. The Union host the Chicago Fire in the first game of a best-of-three series at 5:55 p.m. tonight

"There were so many times during the race where I thought it wouldn’t happen,” Nordbeck said. “I was very shocked, and I’ve been shocked for a few days now. I still can’t really wrap my head around what I’ve done.” www.inquirer.com/college-spor...

The FedExForum is just a maze of ladders to walk under

There’s always a pick in the Beck stand

What’s the worst hire the Titans could make and why is it Trent Dilfer

Titans fired Mike Vrabel because he wasn't a great fit with Ran Carthon. Then they fired Carthon. Now they've fired the guy who replaced Vrabel. At some point, it's the hirer and not the hires.

From @oyounothing.bsky.social back home: The Union have more players than any other team on MLS’s 22 under 22 list, but Cavan Sullivan isn’t one of them. www.inquirer.com/soccer/union...

Bradley Carnell has often said that the Union's success isn’t about him, and he did so again Saturday night. But he also let his guard down for a moment, admitting he's motivated by being fired from St. Louis City last year: www.inquirer.com/soccer/phila... via @phillysport.bsky.social

It ended as a scoreless draw, but it was still a rare opportunity for fans in the Philly area to catch a women’s soccer game. My notebook from last night’s Concacaf W Champions Cup match between Gotham FC and the Washington Spirit: share.inquirer.com/mOYKmH

A scoreless draw at the end of 90 minutes here at Subaru Park. One point is good enough for Gotham FC to secure a spot in the Concacaf W Champions Cup semifinals.

55' | Chaos in the Spirit six-yard box as Gotham's Josefine Hasbo hits the left post from close range. The rebound settled in the danger area but was cleared away before it could be tucked home. Still, 0-0, here at Subaru Park.

27' | First real danger of the night comes from the Spirit's Gift Monday. Monday's point blank attempt on net is blocked out for a corner by Gotham's Lilly Reale. Scoreless in Chester.

We're off at Subaru for Gotham-Spirit. Sparse crowd, but perfect soccer weather.

Where did the Eagles land in national power rankings after their win in Tampa? At – or near (thanks Yahoo) – the top. For @phillysport.bsky.social: www.inquirer.com/eagles/week-...

The Union launched their own mobile app today. @oyounothing.bsky.social reports on what's in it and why the team did it: www.inquirer.com/soccer/union...

Starting to think that if you fire a guy and then win the national championship without that guy, you shouldn’t re-hire that guy

Brian Callahan, resident town fool. Take a delay of game on a long field goal at the end of the half with two timeouts in your pocket because the ball that got spotted was the wrong ball. Miss turns into a Colts FG in less than 40 seconds. Fireable offense.

“While the out-of-town scoreboard was kind to the Union's Supporter's Shield aspirations, the scoreboard inside BC Place was anything but.” @oyounothing.bsky.social on the worst loss in Union history: www.inquirer.com/soccer/union...

Delighted to find out that Morehouse’s starting QB is named Michael Jackson morehouseathletics.com/sports/footb...

A plea: love Memphis like I, and the other folks who call it home, love Memphis. I get we’re not D.C. or Chicago, but this proposed occupation is as obscene as the actions in D.C or the desire to dispatch in Chicago. The issue is more perception than reality. Start changing that perception.

Make that seven total yards on FIVE drives

Oh so NOW Brian Callahan wants to run the ball three times

Just got to delete a very angry Titans skeet, thank you Chimere Dike

Starkville seems like it would be a miserable place to be a broadcaster

I see the pendulum has swung back to No Fun League

Just saw the first “Maps” of the year, we’re so back folks
