Pretty good game of football on

#AllForCITY heads: now that I am not living in agony from a wisdom tooth giving me grief, I am combing through offseason pressers and quotes to write an all-emcompassing catch-up Riverbender. Hope to get that out next week.

Touching of the Blues to honor the life and legacy of Glenn Hall in Chicago by playing without a goaltender tonight

Much like #AllForCITY 's Brendan McSorley, I got wisdom teeth pulled this offseason

One of those days where I'm googling "moving from US to ______"

Another year of St. Louis City soccer, another year you are forced to buy a $90 cup if you want to bring ice water into the stadium

(guy who isnt sure if he has ulcerative colitis, fatty liver disease, or moderate to severe plaque soriasis) hey man do you know what time the football game is on

Editor's note on this: I've been dealing with a wisdom tooth that has totally fucked up my sleep and I have felt fairly insane for a few weeks. I hope to get to a dentist this week to get it yanked out of my head and get back to normal and get some writing done and out to you nice folks 🫡

Cricket, more than any sport I watch, has commentary pointing out players executing fundamentals "for the kids watching at home"

Luke Littler goes back to back and the camera cuts here on his last 3 darts are 🤌🏼

I am spending my New Year's afternoon in wonderful Edwardsville watching some hoops 🏀🍺

I'm begging Chelsea to be normal for like a year

Illinois QB Drew Altmeyer dumptrucked the umpire on this run

Honestly kind of respect beIN sports just running 15 minutes of sports b roll and commercials instead of even attempting an AFCON halftime show

Think I've watched the video of Charlton equalizing at Portsmouth in the 96th minute, their fans chanting "we never lose at Fratton Park" and Portsmouth then scoring the winner at the other end in the 98th minute at least a dozen times. Pure soccer cinema

Yesterday SLU basketball had an incredible doubleheader: the women's team played against NAIA St. Louis College of Pharmacy and afterwards the men's team played Principia College, a D3 Christian Science college in the small town of Elsah about 10 minutes up the river road from Alton, Illinois.

Started reading Among The Thugs this morning and looked up 100 pages and two hours later. So good. Highly recommend

They just cut to someone in the crowd at AFCON wearing what looked like a bag of soccer balls

Even AFCON is not safe from stadiums with expensive club seats taking up the sidelines

Warm winter days remind me of playing hockey at the old outdoor Cahokia ice rink. Played a game there where it was like 60ish outside, the ice was fully melting underneath our skates and players broke skate blades. Ice melting created a layer of fog on the ice and I was the goalie. Lol

Championship goals show free on Golazo Network, a Boxing Day treat for me at work

I hate this melodramatic fucker

Watching some AFCON before family Christmas later

Won the 2009 Stanley Cup in my NHL 2k8 franchise last night and the game froze as my players started celebrating. Brutal

Illinois doesn't look right at Braggin Rights without orange on

noo former Cardinal Jim Edmonds why

Hands down one of the best old arcade games you can currently play on your phone

I made plans to go to the SLU hoops game today but just remembered those plans 50 minutes before tip and I already got pizza to sit here and watch football

Is Leicester uhhhh okay

I've been so locked in watching the Ashes and the darts that I almost forgot about the college football playoffs this weekend.

Working on an all-emcompassing #AllForCITY offseason article for Riverbender that should be out next week. Also kicking the tires on a little something new for the new year 🫡

Greg Biffle, one of NASCAR’s 75 Greatest Drivers, and his wife and two children were among seven people killed in a plane crash Thursday, NASCAR and the victims’ families said in separate statements.

St Louis City takes one of my big draft favorites, Zack Lillington, 7th. Please play him as a midfielder!

Kinda hard to get people to care about the MLS SuperDraft when the league can't even throw together a fuckin YouTube stream for the thing

A bit warm in Adelaide for the Ashes today

If you're an #AllForCITY fan clamoring for change, the roster announcements for CITY2 today seem like a big deal. Not keeping senior players around to try to win a reserve league and using the team more as a development tool. Everyone has fun with CITY2 but this seems like the right call.

Naturally #AllForCITY announces a new boss when I am fighting a nasty case of food poisoning

Same way I found out about Epstein

I'm watching the darts at work

Getting word that Dylan Raiola has also torn his left ACL today

As a resident of the greater St. Louis metropolitan area who has seen a majority of football fans adopt the Chiefs since the Rams left town, this is the happiest I've been about anything in the NFL in perhaps 20 years

It’s important to contextualize just how much less safe American drivers are than everywhere else in the world, and it’s getting worse!

You just knew he was going to save that

VAR in college soccer. Game's gone

Some incredible goalkeeping for SLU over the past 30 seconds or so

Watching the darts at work

At a Taco Bell for some post-work spicy potato soft tacos and they have the Christmas music playing on the in-house radio. The employees seemingly do not like this, and are drowning it out with random rap music on a Bluetooth speaker. The soothing sounds of lunch

#stlcards: one of the worst teams in MLB, new regime is trying to gut the team to rebuild #stlblues: one of the worst teams in the NHL, addicted to signing sex pests in Doug Armstrong's last year in charge #AllForCITY: one of the worst teams in MLS, no real rhyme or reason for anything they do

Blues signing Dillon Dube to an AHL contract is fucking gross. Team is in the shitter and this is the third(!) guy this year with a history of sexual assault they've picked up. Fucking Dinamo Minsk didn't even want Dube this season, but the Blues are more than willing to give him an AHL contract.
