one could in fact say yee haw if you were so inclined

that Tottenham dna came through Son like Venom

was super nervous with Reale coming off (and Trin coming on) then Bruninha’s step overs turned the spirit defense into fogo de chao and bing bang boom bats

when you’re one of x straight guys at the women’s sports bar you WILL get asked if you’re the bouncer more than once

bats comma lets go 🦇

another great PT investigation into the ever growing money mill of anti-trans groups, and their explicit intention to use sports as a gateway towards erasing transpeople from everyday life seems especially fitting to release on trans day of remembrance as well

Back-to-back MVP of the best league in the world, but 17th in Ballon d’Or voting and not named for the FIFA World XI Lol #nwsl

NEW: Ernst Tanner has built a powerhouse at the Philadelphia Union. But my @us.theguardian.com investigation has shown wide-ranging allegations of misbehavior throughout his 7-year tenure. Tanner denies the allegations, and was investigated by MLS this year. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

the players union should include mandatory grass footing as part of their new CBA negotiations re: schedule change unfortunately, the 'sprint season' is the perfect time the owners could eat a lockout, which is probably why MLS is full throated in the announcement before a new CBA

@thepressbox.bsky.social sounded like Bryan and David (especially David) were unaware of this 2021 Zohran fact during the latest ep (unless I missed something before):

thank you "hell gate nyc" for this very good interview explaining the fuck shit currently happening inside this office

on one hand - 4.5m transfer for a 20yo mid-table Allsvenskan forward with these stats? on the other - its Philly, they know better than me, he'll have double digit goals minimum next year for sure

rip Kneeland an absolute gut punch, so young with a long career ahead, incredibly tragic, there’s no words

*reporter voice* Tayvon Gray’s family in Jamaica, while their hometown is devastated, is relatively unscathed from the hurricane in their current city *commentator voice* this, like the Parks family helping their local food bank amidst SNAP cuts, are humanizing stories the club could share

ayo schumer and gillibrand we’ll remember this

I'd vote against Cuomo a third time if I could

brain genius eberflus having his defense zero blitz twice and press man blitz once on three straight third downs was a sight to behold

so we had to go to pens with no extratime but baseball gets to yee yee until sunrise ok whatever

Turning on the final inning of the World Series even though I hate both teams

seems like vancouver avoided a red because the slap to the face was fast like an old kung fu movie,,, I guess??

Austin has discovered the simple tactic of ‘have people in the box and be all messy’ in the second half, masterstroke

Evander really is the Kawhi Leonard of MLS (in the ‘effortlessly talented yet emotionless’ way not the ‘megalomaniac uncle breaking rules for millions’ way)

hit the four V’s today: voted early + vermouth + vermouth + vermouth CHEERS

youre mad at me? im just sitting here watching someone play resident evil on two donkey conga controllers my guy

“When you peek behind the curtain, you find another curtain. Bureaucracies excel at this, dispersing responsibility until it dissolves…Every player transfer becomes both his and not his, both brilliant and inevitable, until the very concept of accountability loses its significance.”

Brilliant

just finished my article about the team being distant and needing to become more human, now time to check their website for any news I may have missed…

Loved this one by @treyfillmore.bsky.social. A lot of my feelings of frustration about the direction of MLS and the sport in general, I felt in this one.

David Lee’s tenure as NYCFC sporting director is over. But how do you grade a guy when you don't even know what his job was? @treyfillmore.bsky.social explores this and why NYCFC needs to turn off the corporate autopilot. www.theoutfield.nyc/p/grading-a-...

Tried to write about David Lee’s 12 years at NYCFC but I couldn’t - so I wrote about why I couldn’t on corporatism, illusion, legacy, authenticity, burritos, and stingrays: www.theoutfield.nyc/p/grading-a-...

as a reporter deep in the armpit of identical hell access myself, Laurel's words are important and resonant the last graph really strikes to the core of the large misunderstanding by the league/teams - "Good or bad, the stories need to be told. Sports teams benefit simply from being talked about."

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

he shouldn’t have swung and he still swung baseball is great

how many more players only meetings do you think the eagles will need after giving up 3 tds to a 4.66 running back

i became ungovernable on this one

guy who sees Jif peanut butter and goes “it’s pronounced Gif”

Working at their regular jobs to pay for their soccer expert hobby.

Dakota Prescott

2010s japanese pop rock

unsure if ive ever seen a drop so bad and catch so good by the same player in one nfl game

My current Raúl Gustavo take is in the two games he’s started he’s had 3 free headers off of corners. Not sure the rest of NYCFC has that many over the rest of the season

Hannah Einbinder is WRONG the eagles STINK

losing my fastball
