Imagine offering up this defense of the person who is leading our country. i can’t fathom the level of moral bankruptcy required to attempt to justify this behavior.

In the quarterfinals of the NWSL Playoffs, Jaedyn Shaw made her presence felt for Gotham FC, despite having only appeared in 8 matches for the club. Our own @emcanderson.bsky.social breaks down the impact Shaw had in the opening round, and how she'll be one to watch for in the semifinals.

I've been the treasurer of a mainline protestant church in the past, and I can assure you we've been champing at the bit to make big IT investments. Blockchain, AI, all of it. We've got so much budget for this stuff.

How does one get in and out of this stadium? will it be built on top of 200 elevators?

The most points in any quarter in a debut. Jake Layman with 17 in garbage time in 2016. LOL (since 1995-96 when we have pbp data) www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/pb...

V.J. Edgecombe's 14 points in the first quarter is the most points in the first quarter of a player's debut from at least 1996 on (as far back as our quarter scoring goes). Lebron James was the previous most with 12.

6+3 thru 7 Milan matches. I stands by this take.

please ask. ”senator your state went overwhelmingly for President Trump. He was clear about his plans. Why should the rest of the country have to support these rich farmers with more welfare? Can’t they pull themselves up out of this sutuation. you actively sought out these policies.”

KBO has a ladder system. Interesting about the 88 wins being a threshold to meet x.com/tangotiger/s...

Crazy Playoff idea hatched by others in our company slack. All teams with 88+ wins make playoffs and then a ladder format. In the NL we'd have MIL PHL LAD CHC SDP Rounds CHC-SDP best of 3 winner-LAD best of 5 Winner - PHI best of 7 Winner - MIL best of 7

Anyone want to start a real award to rival the Ballon D'or that isn't just who won a trophy or two?

This is a big one. I've shared the 1978-1993 PBP that @quirkyresearch.bsky.social and I have put together over the years with Pro Football Reference. You can now find all the play-by-play back to 1978 there and in their Stathead query tool. Enjoy!
