I've started a podcast - @allthosemomentspod.com - with my friend @lukebaumgarten.bsky.social, something we've promised/threatened to do for years: connecting social, political, or cultural moments with moments from our favorite movies / TV shows. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezMf...

I start with a bunch of shoutouts. I then check in on Velocity FC's midseason excellence. Finally, I say goodbye to departing Zephyr FC players and welcomes the 6 new players announced by the club last week. youtu.be/AFqD-523gn0?...

Coming up on EPISODE FIFTY, can you believe that??? Ep. 49 drops tomorrow, including the following shoutouts.

The Mezazoic Era continues in Seattle! Seattle Reign today announced that midfielder Sam Meza has signed a three-year contract extension, keeping her with the club through the 2028 NWSL season.

fox56news.com/news/local/l... Really disappointed to see this with former Zephyr FC players going there.

"League rivals"? Lexington has a billionaire owner willing to paper over the cracks of incompetence and poor attendance. By paper, I of course mean the cash variety. Meanwhile, Kenzie Weinert joined her long term partner who plays for the Lexington SC men's team.

It's a new day for expansion teams in the USL, who have to balance building a fanbase with the expectations of D1 and pro-rel. How are they going about it? I talked to Atletico Dallas' Matt Valentine and surveyed the expansion landscape to find out. www.backheeled.com/how-expansio...

Tonight is gonna be fun as hell! Screening one of the best movies EVER, The Damned United, then doing a Q&A / discussion after with Velocity FC manager Leigh Veidman. 🍿🍻⚽️

I’m betting on the Pacers to win Game 7 tonight because if a Republican-led US government is starting wars over spurious claims that Muslim countries are developing WMD programs, Haliburton is probably about to get a big win

Am I doing something wrong? Bluesky seems … fine? It’s almost indistinguishable from my Twitter timeline in 2017.

What happened on this game winner from Pierre Reedy? ✅ David Garcia picked out the run from PR (right, David???) ✅ the defender took a really bad touch ✅ PR cut in on his left foot to avoid the chase from two defenders

Time to catch up on Velocity FC results and their place at the TOP OF THE TABLE. 1 www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVM_...

The Seattle Sounders owner effectively telling the players off for wearing the "Club World Cash Grab" t-shirts (seeking fair pay from Club World Cup participation) is pretty bad, and shows why the players are protesting in the first place.

Last June, Velocity played a friendly vs. Chivas U23 team and it made for some of the best memories I have of pro soccer so far in Spokane. A couple weeks later, my in-laws Michael and Vanessa found out they were expecting a baby. The baby's nickname, of course, became Chiva. youtu.be/nMOxjZS5DGM

I now have a permanent space for the show and it's amazing. Having Emina Ekić as the first guest in the studio was a perfect way to start this new chapter with being a part-time half-assed podcaster. What a player, what a person. 🌬️⚽ www.youtube.com/watch?v=61ih...

Always love chatting and issuing future bait takes with my Protagonist pals. 😅🎙️

Abby is back for the first time since last August to catch up on all things Zephyr FC and their remarkable run of form in 2025. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7UK...

He’s Reedy. He’s Speedy. He’s SPEEDY F*ING REEDY and he’s the USL League One Player of the Week. Pierre scored his first goal and added two assists, which means he's tied at the top of the league in assists (3) with Velocity FC teammate Lucky Opara. #uslleagueone #upthefalls

It looks like R2-D2’s hearse.

I mean it did die, tho ... new ownership, new branding. OKC Energy is no more. But yeah, I remember, how many players were bamboozled by the "oops, hiatus" press release and didn't knew it before the public release. What a shit show.

Fantastic conversation with one of the best (available) managers in the United States at the moment. Really enjoyed this and can't wait to have Eamon back on the pod again...and soon. 💚 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSXM...

If you think attendance is concerning for the USL super league, just wait until you see how few people care about “XYZ” II trying to get fans to turn out. We have seen this script play out before. ‘Murica

If you want your brain to hurt thing about Cleveland who pushed hard for a NWSL bid, got passed over, and then went to the rumored MSL-connected WPSLPro. They invested into the league and lead the announcement, only for NWSL to announce their own D2 league, which looks to be based off of MLSNP

Same vibes. 👇🏼

They say comparison is the thief of joy but not when people think you sound like a pair of legends aka. Lianne and Jacqui. What do you think, @jacquioatley.bsky.social? 🤔

I had so much fun chatting with Jessica. She's the best of the best when it comes to USL/NWSL play-by-play commentators and I'm glad she took time to chat with me before she's far too famous. <3 youtu.be/Q-4HU_Nfp08?...

Zephyr FC 3 - Dallas Trinity 0 By far the most impressive result yet for Zephyr FC and probably their best performance as well. Highly competitive first half for both teams but Ally Cook, Kenzie Weinert, and Katie Murray when she came on: unstoppable. youtu.be/CdK-ZcWIGXA

Latest episode: review and analysis of most recent results for Velocity FC vs. Greenville Triumph, Tacoma Defiance, and Portland Hearts of Pine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5up...

my hope is that AI can empower the Dumbest, Least talented slobs i know to replace everything i ever loved with One Million Years of Content

Me: Hey Siri, is the MLS basically kayfabe at this point? Siri:

‪Just had a great chat with @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com, some of which will run on Wed's @mkickaround.bsky.social (on USL ambitions, pro/rel, and pro soccer in the PNW). Need more @sounderatheart.com clones out there in absence of corporate-backed American soccer coverage. Independent is the way.

🔥 RIGHT IN TIME FOR THE APOCALYPSE! 🔥

Episode 41! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3obz...

This was super fun, Jeremiah is a class dude for inviting me, and congrats to Defiance btw. Entertaining game and I hope they get a result in Oakland. 🍻 @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com open.spotify.com/episode/37rt...
