Going down a weird sports writing memory lane of articles I've enjoyed enough to save on my computer/phone, and this one feels pertinent tonight: grantland.com/features/the... Some Boston kid Pats fan just signed up for a lifetime of sports suffering off the gut punch of tonight.

Honestly fitting given this has been a 0-0 game but Alajualense have spanked 4 shots from distance on a pitch infected with EM waves from a substation

You know some owners are angrily calling Goodell right now and he’s hitting them with the Michael Masi “it’s called a halftime show Robert”

If he brought out Daddy Yankee for Gasolina I would’ve hooted like an owl

One of my first ever CD’s to listen to in the car was Ricky Martin, So this is fabulous

Sunny Super Bowl feels weird I don’t like it

@mattdoyle.bsky.social however many points you gave TFC in your over under, it's too many

Turns out, we aren’t that different after all.

2 new additions to the scarf wall

Watching some Lindsay Vonn footage from the Olympics, 1 week post ACL tear and my thought is: I tore my ACL 9 months ago and have so much scar tissue I regularly stand up from sitting and think the scar tissue breaking up is my pants ripping (minimum 3 times a week). She is skiing in the Olympics.

A lot of the ASA-erati attended the @americansoccerinsights.com summit at Rice University last week, and people wanted to talk about their experience. So we convened the ASA roundtable for highlights. www.americansocceranalysis.com/home/2026/2/7/asa-roundtable-american-soccer-insights-summit

Gotta be honest, don't know how every figure skater isn't banging their partner.

I know the summer olympics is “more” the Olympics but I personally enjoy that the Winter Olympics are just in random winter cities. Like 2034 is in Salt Lake again.

No halftime subs

Fortunate to get the pens but a smushing otherwise

Subs at halftime shouldn't count towards your 5 either, because I want 5 at halftime alone here.

Kieran's vexillological watch: will Rosenior steal some Caicedo/Enzo rest minutes given the scoreline (any answer other than a resounding yes is red)

The entirety of my take on this game is that football is much easier when the opposition give you 2 penalties

YES TATY DO YOUR WEIRD OVERLY COMPLICATED GOAL CELEBRATION THING WITH YOUR HANDS OVER YOUR FACE

Wolves gotta be the dumbest team of all time

Begging Rosenior to just play normal

Ban back 3’s and no touching recruitment for Sonia and this team will be fine in the future

One of the things I’ve enjoyed of the Hernandez tenure is that a lot of the gambly deals have been structured as loan+option. You put a risk premium on the option but you’d rather pay that premium with the flexibility to walk away given how recruitment has gone since 2017.

I'm not paying particular attention to the Epstein files but they fairly repeatedly come up on twitter and I'm fairly appalled at how bad this man is at typing.

Because of related party transactions rules, his PSR hit to Chelsea is capped at the 11m Strasbourg paid for him from Brighton, so he will be an exceedingly cheap squad addition if they choose to go that route.

I would be extremely curious if this phenomenon shows up in @statsbomb.com’s data Paging @jair1970.com

This whole team is made up of the dumbest human beings on the entire planet holy fucking shit

RJ Barrett is fucking ass and always will be ass

Private Equity ownership baby (I suspect this would be profitable but the empty stadium when you get shitkicked every game would make it not worth)

Certainly enjoy that Bay are letting their coach pick a bunch of English U23’s who have been mostly unable to get playing time for teams who would all be below average NWSL teams.

PL really said “there’s no big 3, it’s just big me”

The 2nd division Polish striker with no track record of goals was bad. Shocker. One of the dumbest U22’s in a long line of truly bad U22’s.

I'm a San Diego hater and think people are way too low on them.

Sometimes people try and pitch me for equipment and software to make better batteries and stuff. Please know if you use the word agentic, I immediately decide the call is over in my brain and do some other stuff.

You are entitled to boo Havertz because you think he’s bad and left to a rival, and he is entitled to waggle his cock in your face when he scores the winner. That’s the trade off you have chosen to make as a fan.

It was definitely a “keep it tight, bring in Palmer and Steve to nick it” plan

Fine defensive performance but you created nothing in a game you knew you had to win. Not great.

Hate the 3 but at least it’s a sensible 3

I’m in a number of ACL forums after blowing mine outlast summer, and there are people like “why would she do this does she not understand the risks????” And I’m like brother I finished the game of a Sunday coed league fina with a torn ACL, Olympians are on a different planet

Just watched the spurs city highlights, Gallagher is such a gamer

Filed my tax forms so perfectly to get an exactly $0 return. Elite shit.

Edwards came back and is letting the Bournemouth guy dive into his crackhead tendencies spending 72m on Jacquet to loan him back this month. That's Eghbali shit.

Watching Strasbourg PSG and it’s pretty comical how slow and physically chill other leagues are compared to the Premier League

Probably best if the women’s team just hits reset this summer. Move on the coach, move on a lot of the players, try again.

Met someone last weekend who works on in water in relation to Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada snowpack and her exact words were "Every January day without snow is a fucking disaster"

That's a stupid decision, the ref gave the foul for the tackle not the shirt pull.

Nothing irks coach brain Kieran more than players going to block a shot and getting done through the legs back post. Just stop your feet and make him score a screamer near post.

Sir can I interest you in the 45 minute dry aged open play attack?
