For @racingloufc.com today: OUT: Savannah DeMelo (Illness), Marisa DiGrande (Maternity Leave), Ella Hase (Hamstring), Ellie Jean (Illness), Natalie Mitchell (Knee), Olivia Sekany (Knee/SEI), Sarah Weber (Ankle). So McKeen or Lardner gets first #NWSL start @lynnfamilystadium.com at 4 p.m.? #NWSL

The last 7 postseason Brewers-Dodgers games: Dodgers 5 Brewers 1 Dodgers 4 Brewers 2 Dodgers 3 Brewers 0 Dodgers 2 Brewers 1 Dodgers 5 Brewers 1 Dodgers 3 Brewers 1 Dodgers 5 Brewers 1

Reggie Miller said “right there” three times in the game’s first 1:25. Each time it added nothing to his comment. Why doesn’t someone help him stop? #NBA

The dementia is hard to gauge because he is genuinely stupid.

Sports team revenues as a % of the league leader: • NFL has smallest spread between top and bottom • WNBA & NWSL have the largest spreads • The Cowboys and Valkyries are the biggest outliers in their respective leagues

With a strong statement like this we can now expect McConnell to vote ”no” on any Senate measure to stop the slush fund.

!!!!

one member of Los Angeles County's board of supervisors has more constituents than the U.S. senators of 12 states

Did SGA make nutmeg pass between the legs of a Spurs defender to Wallace, who hit a three? #NBA

MacFarlane: I'm filling a notebook with misinformation spreading about January 6th today. The idea that these cases were wrongful, no case was overturned, not a one on appeal. And lots of people appealed. They had a 100% success rate for juries at trial.

Not only is Trump the most corrupt president in U.S. history, you could make a persuasive case that about a dozen things he has done this term would earn him that title even if he’d done nothing else. And we’ve learned about two of those things just in the past week.

NWSL Mid-Week Matchup - Caution Accumulation Warning Perle Morroni - San Diego Wave FC Taylor Flint - Racing Louisville FC

The family values party now the fascist values party.

A fortress for his snipers? Perhaps including insurrectionists he pardoned & is going to pay from the $1.8 billion he is stealing from taxpayers? Or the masked goons of ICE & border patrol? Or merely the increasingly personalized military? All very reassuring. He will do anything to hold onto power.

Morris dispossessed in Louisville end. Trots back as Utah scores. Former Racing player Cece Delzer with the assist. Utah up 2-1 at 82:00. @racingloufc.com looks tired in the altitude. McKeen & Blackburn on.

Fischer! Sustained @racingloufc.com pressure produces a nifty goal. 1-1. Racing more energetic this half.

An uninspired @racingloufc.com down 1-0 to Utah at half. The Hase pass that led to the Racing own goal was … not good. Meanwhile, is it unusual for a rostered but inactive player to post on Instagram about an unrelated matter during a game?

Chances the “analyst” on @racingloufc.com telecast, McCall Zerboni, can be endured for the entire match? Estimate: 22.7%. #NWSL

Aces 85 Dream 84 Final Great game! Aces were up 19. Dream had the lead in the last minute. But the champions made championship plays when the game was on the line. Tough games for Jackie Young & Angel Reese. Dream missed Rhyne Howard. Okot is going to be a force! Love both these teams! #WNBA

Dream mounting a heckuva fourth quarter comeback! Rookie Madina Okot out of South Carolina is impressive. 14 points & a +16.

“In another world, Americans might have looked forward to an authentic celebration of the achievements of the American Revolution. In this world, under the Trump administration, we are asked to settle for a festival of corruption, lies, bigotry, and divisiveness.” newrepublic.com/article/2103...

Trump doesn't care about the economic plight of the average American because he's too busy calling his broker His stunning 3,700 trades in just 3 months in firms like Palantir, Nvidia and Boeing should be another Watergate. Here's how to make it one My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Ugh. Rhyne Howard out with a concussion. Te-Hina Paopao starts in her place. #WNBA

Prediction: Las Vegas Aces at Atlanta Dream game today is a preview of @wnba.com finals. Intriguing matchups abound! A’ja Wilson-Angel Reese; Jackie Young-Rhyne Howard; Chelsea Gray-Allisha Gray. Should be fun! #WNBA

What it means to score not one but TWO goals for hometown kid Janine Sonis 💚

Lexington last to first.

Ellie Jean & Sarah Weber out for @racingloufc.com. We have the depth. Expect someone to seize the opportunity. Just a matter of time before McKeen makes a big impression. Having Fischer as the point of the spear is not a bad thing. Hate facing Paige Monaghan Cronin, a favorite from her Racing days.

Chinese newspaper cartoon (Today... 😂 )

Harden blatantly & repeatedly pushing off defenders with his forearm & cartoonishly flopping. Refs seem good with it. Can the Pistons keep composure? #NBA

Updates (with reasons): CFB & DI: Kentucky; Vanderbilt (daughter has Vandy M.T.S.; love Commodore Coaches & Memorial Gym) WNBA: Dream; Aces (reversed order upon ATL Angel Reese acquisition) EPL: Aston Villa (Everton fired cousin Sean; Villa came to Louisville) No other changes.

Wheels fall off for FC Cincinnati. Now down 3-5. Cincinnati coach Pat Noonan is undefeated in 63 games when his team leads at 75:00. That streak in severe danger at 89:00.

FC Cincinnati v. Inter-Miami match has gotten wild. Cincy up 3-2 on an Evander beauty. Messi has a brace. Suarez as obnoxious as ever.

"The whole thing reeks of the 19th century unraveling of Civil War and Reconstruction gains — that racist, reactionary era they forgot to teach you about in school and tends to rattle your faith in the American narrative when you finally do learn about it." gift link: share.inquirer.com/QeS10J

We are ostensibly a free country and the degree to which we don’t know what is actually going on in a vast network of “camps” on our own soil in the year 2026 is….. something we are probably never going to come close to actually grappling with as a country

"A lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history." — Hannah Arendt

The biggest lesson from the Covid pandemic was don't let anti-science liars run the country. But a plurality of American voters didn't learn it, or didn't want to.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

“Hopefully?” Good God! Imagine having “complete confidence“ in Trump & RFK, both of whom are perverse & neither of whom is capable of actual learning. But lusting to be Kentucky’s next governor, Jamie will do & say literally anything to stay in the corrupt fascist felon Trump’s good graces.

Editor’s Notebook: It’s a legitimate question. What is really going on at UK? kentuckylantern.com/2026/05/11/e...

At 9:27 of first quarter Reggie Miller drops four staccato superfluous “there” & “right there” bombs in describing one play. He’s gotten much better about “I‘ll tell you what,” but apparently thinks he must continually remind us he is talking about what we are seeing on our screens ... there. #NBA

Perhaps puts some of her prior controversies in a larger perspective. Will be interesting to see how this plays across the @wnba.com & with her teammates.

5 - Katie O'Kane's second goal Friday was the fifth direct free-kick goal scored by @racingloufc.com in the regular season, more than any other team since they made their #NWSL debut in 2021. Specialists.

Also, Quincy McMahon played really well for @racingloufc.com. She seems to be coming into her own. Kayla Fischer worked extremely hard as is her way. The higher she is on the pitch, the more effective she is. Can we continue last night’s energy & press on the road in Utah? We’d better. They’re good!

Huge @racingloufc.com win. O’Kane, obviously. Sometimes a player rises up & saves a season. Ella Hase played superbly. Her best game ever in my book. Fast. Intense. Physical. Skilled. Smart. Those two sophomores stepped up. Loved rookies Lardner & McKeen getting important minutes. Flint, as always.

Step 1 is complete.

Uh oh. Ellie Jean out for @racingloufc.com.

@racingloufc.com beats 1st place Portland on Friday, changes narrative & mojo, goes on long undefeated streak, makes playoffs, wins @nwslsoccer.com title, becomes perennial championship contender, draws capacity crowds at Lynn Family Stadium & its players fill US & other global national teams. #NWSL

Trumpist corruption, fascism & racism get more dangerous, hideous & nihilistic each day. Sometimes it is overwhelming. But there is no time to rest. Gotta gird up & resist. For me that means supporting Democrats; donating; protesting; posting; writing; encouraging & thanking others; & keeping faith.

“The 1-run defeat ensured the program will enter next season on a 24-game skid to SEC foes. UK won its league opener over Auburn on 3/6, then lost two dozen in a row (23 in the regular season plus Tuesday's tournament setback).” First time since 2008 no NCAA. www.courier-journal.com/story/sports...
