Wilt Chamberlain as coach of the San Diego Conquistadors.

The NHL is trying to get their bag before the NFL takes all the networks' spending money. awfulannouncing.com/nhl/gary-bet...

One of the very best to do it, and relieved to see he's gonna keep on doing it. Truly, Matt's output, every single week for years and years, has been incredible and invaluable to acutal MLS sickos and casual fans alike. I'll subscribe.

The Olympic break doesn't mean the PWHL is shut down. Instead, teams will continue to practice throughout the three weak stoppage in league play, and look to gain a competitive advantage thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/... #PWHL

STOP just saying uninformed things like this. Nashville's last mayor basically ended his political career by backing the unpopular Titans stadium. CLT has committed ~$900M to renovating NFL & NBA venues. Neither city has money or political capital to subsidize an MLB ballpark.

It remains entirely unclear to me what this company is "good at."

RIP to the Washington Post sports page. Among many other things, it's always been invaluable to my research & writing on soccer history. So much of the writing - like this John Feinstein piece from 1980 - is so rich & colorful, just entirely alien compared to what you see today.

When I started covering DC United in 2011, coverage was robust - MLS had its own beat writer (my dear friend @cboehm.bsky.social), I provided granular coverage for DCist, Black & Red United went further - and Goff, a real legend, covered the club like a big league team. They now have no coverage.
