Our Axe

Not a student-athlete Not an alumnus Not a legacy But forever proud to have played the smallest of parts in this incredible (ongoing) run at the #HomeOfChampions. Truly a highlight of my professional, and especially #sportsbiz, career. #GoStanford

Would be great if everyone would read and spend time thinking on this thread as we continue to barrel towards the biggest human divide since the Middle Ages.

That ball from Declan Rice. Oh my! #Arsenal

I was born in 1972. The replacement rate he's panicked about has been below 2.1% for almost every year of my life. If you're really worried about the population falling, giving immigrants a path to citizenship is an obvious and easy solution. Unless there's ... something about them you don't like?

The free press turned in their badges & left the Pentagon yesterday at 4pm rather than bend the knee to this regime. There are no reporters inside the Pentagon. Treat everything you hear from the Pentagon as propaganda. American democracy is over. This is a fascist state apnews.com/article/pent...

It’s important to remember that FIFA didn’t give the U.S. the 2026 World Cup as a pivot from the “bad” countries that hosted previously. The U.S. is hosting the 2026 World Cup because it is one of the bad countries.

If Major League Soccer doesn’t care enough to watch their own games in order to write about them, why should we watch their games?

So well done by Morrissey on this. For lower level teams in any sport, a lack of consistency might be the only thing holding them back from achieving their full potential. That applies to the technical and commercial both.

Anyone see a pattern to the uproar from a certain segment of America over the last 5 Super Bowl shows? 26 - Bad Bunny 25 - Kendrick Lamar 24 - Usher 23 - Rihanna 22 - Dr Dre 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

Anyone else tired of saying “this timeline is fucked” / “they’re saying the quiet part out loud” / “the system has failed us” or is that just me? #nokings

I mean…can we be more on the nose? #nokings

D and it’s not even close

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

Judge not by one incident, but the collective sum of words and deeds. Then and only then does one see the actual individual.

Mark my words, this regime is going to target activists and media personalities like they would terrorist organizations or the mob, and they'll use this and similar incidents as the excuse to charge "conspiracy." Stormy waters ahead

“I think that what is happening now politically and socially is analogous to what happened around the world in the 1930-40 period,” the founder of Bridgewater Associates, one of the world’s largest hedge funds, has told the Financial Times. https://cnn.it/460e7wl

As the USL season winds down, it’s time to reflect on the major positives of 2025 before the home stretch. From rising prospects to tactical execution to stadium openings, I’m digging into one thing that’s gone right for all 24 USL Championship clubs. www.backheeled.com/one-positive...

18 hour work day. But I helped make this happen. Exhausted, sore, relieved, impressed, you name it, it was felt and happened. Not perfect, but striving for perfection. Thank you @espn.com for the opportunity to support your incredible family.

Personal growth and improvement is a true sign of an individual seeking to improve situations. Continuous improvement is key to advancement.

WHO DID THIS?!?!?

Just Do It!

#USLJagermeisterCup final round quad boxing on a Saturday night ending with a @hfdathletic.bsky.social PK shootout win to keep advancement hope alive. That was fun. Let’s do it again USL, yeah?

NEW: Israelis have marched through the capital Tel Aviv demanding an end to the starvation of Gaza. Protestors carried images of starving Palestinian children & symbolic bags of flour. A critical reminder that the genocidal force is the Israeli government & IDF, not all Israelis. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

The GOP platform for the last 40 years has been to ensure uneducated people believe they are better off than someone else. Keeping their voters undereducated and lacking a world view starts with pushing being a teacher further and further down the desirable job list.

4 years later and I still love how even the most basic pictures of fire in my Il Fornino pizza oven turn out

We did an episode of The Best Soccer Show tonight . There's some Gio stuff in there at the end, but this is really about an All-Time Best USMNT XI and memories of 1994. This is what TBSS is best at. Have a listen or watch on YouTube. pod.link/1527123481/e...

Many people are saying the President is too old. He thinks recordings are live videos. He calls it the Secretary of War! Can you believe that? There hasn't been a Secretary of War since the 40's. It's a joke, folks. Our country is a joke. Everyone is laughing at us. It's unbelievable.

Trump is responsible for the death of a Democratic elected official. MAGA wants to make it illegal to oppose Trump, and to make it normal for them to kill people who do. Democrats should be unequivocal in blaming Trump for this deadly violence. He is trying to get them killed.

Happy Obama Appreciation Day 🇺🇸 Confident 🇺🇸 Respectful 🇺🇸 Charismatic 🇺🇸 Goal-oriented 🇺🇸 A Lifelong Learner 🇺🇸 A Confident Conciliator 🇺🇸 And Willing to Make Hard Decisions 🇺🇸 This is what a World Leader looks like 🇺🇸 Thank you 🇺🇸 #SheShed

Held the door open for Stuart Scott at Panera

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Reminder: the Boston Tea Party was illegal. The Jewish resistance to the Nazis was illegal. Rosa Parks was a criminal. Some of your heroes are worshipped for the crimes they committed, and in an unjust society that's sometimes how we get stuff done

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

Who is ICE getting to mask up and abduct people in America without criminal records? At least one body-snatcher in the Nantucket raid had a tattoo associated with Nazis and white supremacists. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/03/m... @bostonglobe.com

That’s one way to help with ticket sales

“It’s a lot easier to destroy a thing than to build a thing.”

What an absolutely soul crushing finish to #Andor #StoneAndSky

“The purpose of education is so you can get a good job” No it’s not…. Nooooooo it’s not The purpose of education is so you won’t be a dumb ass

#Andor feels like an on screen version of the best of the best Legends novels (IYKYK). Never would I have expected a Star Wars show to be this good. Thank you Tony Gilroy.

So just to recap, the Transportation Secretary is scared shitless of public transport. The Education Secretary is being sued for enabling child sex abuse. The Health Secretary is bringing back measles. And the Defense Secretary is texting classified war plans to the editor in chief of the Atlantic

If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

FLEXPORT: “.. In the 3 weeks since the tariffs took effect, ocean container bookings from China to the United States are down over 60% industry wide.” #SummerOfScarcity 🇺🇸

Heads up, The Best Soccer Show is live tonight at 9 PM ET. We always play with pride, unlike the USMNT. Come join in. www.youtube.com/live/zVog03t...

I started watching the new @netflix.com season of #BlackMirror this morning. At least I think I did. Could be that we’re living a series of dark and depressing Black Mirror episodes with all the stupid and inhumane shit coming out of DC these days.
