Maybe today is the day I finally write the sports gambling post I’ve been sitting on.

I need people to see what transpired lol I have never seen someone just charge at the opposing team free kick wall here like Rwan Cruz does to the Portland Timbers

Folks still try to get away with the excuse that they can’t make the move to Bluesky because there are no sports. It’s not true and it hasn’t been true for some time.

Grant's 1996 Princeton senior thesis is all about the connections between soccer & politics [in Argentina]. While working on it, he received anonymous threats & had his laptop stolen. In his professional work, he showed us what a corrupt enterprise FIFA is & continues to be.

Every Pitt / Syracuse game ends up being a different flavor of atrocity

Easily one of the most “things are happening/nothing is happening” games I’ve been to in person.

He showed the replay once in the stadium and it was gross. Kneecaps should not move that much.

So now the FCC pulls him from the air, that’s how this works

How much did this cost

The last season-killing strike happened after a 5-year period in which Minnesota, Cincinnati, and Oakland won the World Series, with Montreal having the best record in baseball

Trebor Peña: Hope that bag feels good, never join PSU

It’s going to be insane to see who Penn State targets. Clark Lea will be named but I don’t think either side will be thrilled with the idea. Cig would mean PSU is dropping over $100m just this year b/w the two buyouts. Fran Brown? Some hot coordinator?

Even by college football's ridiculous standards, "Guy who had the No. 3 team in the country 15 days ago gets fired" is pretty mind-blowing.

I wrote hundreds of match recaps & edited hundreds more for this site back in the day. It’s not just MLS - I’m increasingly convinced soccer will “fail” because at this moment when U.S.-based fans love it more than ever, there is a rapidly shrinking media ecosystem covering the sport. We are screwed

Things I’ve learned this marathon for better spectating experiences: wear a big six kit and watch runners get hyped or motivated.

My amazing wife is running the Chicago Marathon today! If you want to support her and an amazing program that supports after school programs for homeless children in Chicago, donate here and include Melody Allan’s name in the donation note! www.paypal.com/donate/?host...

it's mentioned in the article, but I think it's crucial: the Posting To Policy Pipeline depended on links good posts could build you an audience, but always in conjunction with links to more substantial work and then the actual developed policies were written up longform and the Elon killed links

Dear @homefield.bsky.social: LFG

I love baseball

Day 1 of Chicago: all the food. Not gonna stop, but it was a helluva first impression. - Green City Meats - Virtue

this whole column is excellent, but this graf in particular is the best description I've ever read on the difference between college football and the NFL

as someone who used to work in the industry, I cannot +1 this enough

Try decade and a half for some of my OGs like @seankeeley.bsky.social

Forgot how much I love Chicago until I show up and realize it’s one of like, 3 cities I could live in not named Brooklyn.

My lingering COVID symptom is that when I am on a plane and someone is coughing consistently and not wearing a mask or covering their mouth, my body feels an insatiable urge to stab them with whatever crappy cutlery I snagged “just in case” from the airport.

If you watched late Emery/early Arteta Arsenal, you know for a fact that what Amorim is doing is nowhere near the same. The complete upheaval of standards, culture, and flexibility in style and youth as those two things were instilled is still one of the most impressive sports turnarounds I’ve seen

Thanks! This piece was written by a BFT contributor, just FYI.

I think Denny “gets it” as much as anyone out there right now trying to make sense of the cacophony of noise you ingest on a daily basis

Very American worries/interacts with the healthcare system DAILY. Everyone will be impacted by rising costs, and those in GOP run states will see *more* and *more intense* issues than those in Dem run states. It sucks to see but the single issue of healthcare affordability will end the shutdown.

lol lmao

Imagine being so bad and highly paid at your job that they become your agent and try to find you a new one, oh wait it’s consulting

Look the baseball playoffs are all about streaky hitters supplementing your stars and pitching, so it can all change on a dime, but man the Mariners are built like a team that wins this whole thing.

I just… ugh

It’s the unofficial midway point of the Syracuse football season so I took a look at where things stand right now in terms of expectations and actual problems with the team. 🔒 for subs, but free trial if its your first time! open.substack.com/pub/acpregle...

✍️ My first work trip for The Athletic was to Memphis in 2017. On that staff, I met: Mike Norvell Dan Lanning Kenny Dillingham Ryan Silverfield They’re all head coaches of top-25 teams, so I reconnected with them to look back. This is how a Coaching Tree happens: www.nytimes.com/athletic/667...

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I’m at a Seattle bar in Bushwick watching the Mariners game with 2 die hard Seattle fans. There is nothing that hits Home like watching playoff baseball with people who are invested.

On the one hand, the video of that Dem in Maine preaching empathy towards victims of propaganda is hitting a very specific place of needed calm for me. On the other hand, these MF'ers are part of that machine and have been preaching toxic masculinity that has poisoned a generation, so fuck em.

Very happy to say that I'm on the corner of YouTube where these dweebs have all been getting cooked for MONTHS and believe me, they deserve it. Schulz in particular was straigh-up bragging about how he put Trump in the White House. Keep frying these nerds!!!

One last time

This week’s Disloyal Idiots podcast talks about the football, yes. But we opened the show talking about the Orange alumni we lost and I shared my very unique connection to Lawrence Moten that shaped my time at Syracuse. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

“How can Portland POSSIBLY stand against the might of the federal government?!” “Let me introduce you to our frog.”

I miss Tony White

Mr rn

ok Rickie Collins clearly has the arm and the athleticism to play QB. dude cannot string together more than 3 good reads in a row. cannot run this offense with that kind of consistency in bad reads

*deep breath* NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRDDDSSSSS

If you were at the Ludacris concert in Chapel Hill at 9 this morning, please let us know what the vibes were like.

My next piece will be examining Ødegaard’s availability for Arsenal pre- and post-goatee
