Two things can be true: Balogun should be able to play and should have no probation period at all because the card was indefensible bs FIFA is a joke and their actions are often unjustifiable

Thank you @cjzero.bsky.social as always for your invaluable services

@cjzero.bsky.social Telemundo at about 33:40 saying "Haaland TERMINATOR" is something I need for the memory banks

Or had a bit too much Fosters (Even better that Aussies don't actually drink it)

This is crazy. This is crazier than all my endorphins screaming about the world cup being crazy. Dansby Swanson over ten games is the RBI king.

@edsbs.bsky.social @buffalocia.bsky.social soccer Icarus ran with the ball straight into the sun

Now we appeal the Balogun suspension in the Northern District of Texas

I love all of this and especially set pieces because Bosnia's main export for the past 30 years has been height. As evidenced by the late-90s swim team at my high school.

I'm mostly focused on the World Cup but I cannot ignore that the Cubs saw the White Sox score 22 runs last week and then today score 23. Solid one-upsmanship

I don't love that I've had to get external HDs since PS3, but sensed this coming for a long time. If there's a downloaded game you love, back it up (Especially your saves). Sony could do to your cloud what it just did to movie titles.

Hornets trade LaMelo? Sounds like the NBA is gearing up to give Miami the division

Heat get Giannis? What are we even doing

Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!

Injury is the big question mark at #4. But very solid numbers in the weakest of the 4 power conferences (by far); 49th ranked SoS overall. I'm not sold on top value available, another forward was last place for the Bulls' needs.

I don't know about everyone else but I have distinctly sour Tyrus Thomas vibes with this one (Even if that was a trade). Also, a F? Who are the guards on this team? Kingston Flemings has a killer instinct, might be better than Petersen and was right there.

I read this and heard the MK voice saying "BRUTALITY"

If you're just entering The Lands Between, the central United States is effectively Elden Ring's Caelid.

My parents brought me back these books from Malta for my daughter and it is quite ...something (1/3)

Tracking Cubs pitching this year feels like tracking patients getting moved around in a crowded hospital ward

Happy Father's day to my fellow dads. And to anyone being a mentor, fixer, supporter, or generally providing solid ground for those around them.

Texas Tech underestimated how toxic this would get

Seek out the best and learn from them. The local's watering hole is where I want to be.

The laughter of Chicago and its intentional river can be heard rumbling across the land

Speaking of gatekeeping, I brought my daughter to a local public park this morning to practice and they have the goals chained up face to face when not in use by a paid league. It's not like they're at-risk of damage (or anything else). Other countries don't do this!

Would've been cooler if Knicks had won in 2009 when we were partying on warehouse rooftops along the river for free, before the half-empty condos blocked out the skyline Happy for you though NYC. Enjoy the party!

Harper would get confused again moments later as Brunson would catch a pass, run 4 steps around a screen without a single dribble, and still draw a foul

I'm genuinely disappointed to learn about the Tupac estate involvement and RGG's recent decline in PR decisions. I was very excited about this game and now that's waning.

Folks: my magnum opus. The 2026 World Cup, and all 48 teams, through the lens of their college basketball counterparts. Uruguay is Marquette, the USMNT is Wisconsin, Cote d'Ivoire is Davidson, and yes, Germany is Kentucky www.basketunderreview.com/the-2026-wor...

Here comes the now-standard Spurs 4th quarter meltdown

There's something cathartic about watching the husks of bandwagon Knicks fans as their souls drift roughly thousands of feet overhead

It very much amuses me that I'm finishing this painting when the Knicks are in the NBA Finals #art

Every time I hear Landry Shamet I think about one of the best games I've watched, Shockers getting daggered in their final home game #cbb to #nba

New blog. New stats! Big portal rank shifts!! #cbb

Working on more #cbb #mbb Portal Tracker upgrades. The average offensive rating of all 1500+ tracked portal players is 107.5, so there's a baseline to do a WAR-style eval Offense Above Replacement is a good compliment for Defense-Possessions Won

Can confirm. This is S tier / better than anything I've seen in adland this year

After a full day of no men's hoops transfer portal action, let's revisit the rankings for the most improved teams. #cbb #ncaa You can also see where every player has departed/joined and some defining stats, all in one place

Let's Dismember Some Guys is a sneaky good title to gateway my true-crime obsessed wife more into the baseball realm.

The polls are tradition, but so silly. What isn't silly: Many predictive metrics involve a measure of the preseason polls (AP is parallel to coaches as air quotes "reality") all the way through the full season. Failed LSU and Clemson get an undue bonus the whole time.

All my favorite rivalries are charter members of the original Metro

A little progress with the gouache while the kiddo naps. #art #painting

From the high school archives:

Cubs doing things in increments of 10s challenge is going very well

Potential for Ted Cruz versus UTexas/SEC is not something I saw coming

Yes! There's no reason other gaming should be growing while children's gaming isn't doing the same thing.

NEW EPISODE: @joelanderson.bsky.social joins Richard to talk about a question now being asked by the NAACP and some members of Congress: Should Black players boycott SEC schools? Presented without ads. Out now wherever you get podcasts or watch them www.splitzoneduo.com/p/sec-boycot...

Other issues aside: The only way strength of schedule works as a viable measure here is if every team plays the exact same amount of games.

Science Holiday Sunday

I'm disappointed that someone who wrote for Defector at any point has a, let's say *bubbled* take this bad. Horrendous take. Generalizing an entire user base (poorly) is the kind of behavior one expects of a twitter-dregs ragebot.

Thankful there's no doom and gloom in the article. Just cool science fact Friday stuff.
