this is the closest ICE has ever come to saying "yeah we just murdered a guy"

I think the Ducks are in big trouble despite the match. Carlsson is not going to live up to that contract and if the Ducks struggle he's going to receive a lot of criticism. His hitting UFA at 26 is going to be the elephant in the room.

one side's voters care about sexual assault and one side's voters don't and while I understand that "impossible to say whether this is good or bad" is the standard for the paper of record I think it's clear which side has the moral high ground here

Something unintuitive is that US soccer has made significant steps to improve its outreach and academy structures but that the results of these improvements won't be immediately apparent.

If, when Egypt went up 2-0, you weren't thinking, "can't wait to see how Messi levels this," then you are a liar.

@mattdoyle.bsky.social When do you publish the 2030 projected roster

we'll never know but when -the two days before the match are eaten by news of political interference and corruption -the team comes out, each and every one of them more or less, looking utterly unready for the moment it's hard not to think USSF and Trump are responsible

Just want to point out that we sent a Metrostars goalkeeper to face Belgium and he set the World Cup record for saves. NYCFC is clearly the inferior product.

Sergiño Dest is not built for this.

This feels very different from the previous allegations against him. Concrete claim of sexual assault, backed by multiple sources of material evidence. The entire situation is depressing.

Barron was literally in an MLS academy so this tells us a lot...

"CONCACAF Tournament but for the entire world" has been predictably insane.

Planning to do a broad of analysis of the last few weeks for NYR and where the organization is at. Aside from other duties, I want to take some time to digest it. I think in the heat of the moment analysis naturally pings towards the extremes of good or bad.

Bro he was just running...

The Rangers having Adam Fox in his prime at a $9.5M cap hit the next three seasons and being completely out of position to make anything of it is nauseating.

A deep analysis of Alberts Šmits and why I think the Rangers made him their selection at fifth overall. bleacherreport.com/articles/254...

A perfect anecdote for this moment in time. Sports or, uhh, otherwise.

Working on a new bit where I call VAR "The surveillance state."

One of the cool parts of this website is that FIFA hasn’t yet figured out how to permablock every soccer highlight.

Trade Grades: The Rangers still have a lot of questions left to answer, but Dorofeyev is a step in the right direction. bleacherreport.com/articles/254...

2026 NHL Draft Grades: Let's take a look at how all 32 teams did. bleacherreport.com/articles/254...

Benjamin MacBeath is a solid pick by the Rangers, even if not the top of my list. They need defensemen who can skate, and he can absolutely skate. He plays a smart game. Second-pairing upside.

As we approach NYR's pick at 64, I have a few players I think fit: Adam Valentini: Winger who works hard but has supplementary skill. NCAA kid. Adam Andersson: Big center with strong defensive insticnts and third-line upside. Luke Schairer: Fast, rangy shutdown D

Important day for the Rangers. A late second round pick and three third-rounders. The prospect pool lacks upside. They need to swing for talent rather than defer to the usual strategy of drafting big trees they think can fill out a depth chart.

Big fan of Adam Novotný. Not the highest upside player, but he's a workhorse and a relatively safe bet for a 45-point, PKing role as a middle-six winger.

Ryan Lin falling to Pittsburgh at pick 22 is so predictable. The writers are boring me. Find a new plot.

Player comp for new NYI defenseman Malte Gustafsson: Brady Skjei

Alexander Command is a reach for me at 12th overall, but Sunny Mehta isn't someone I feel particularly comfortable questioning. I see a third-line center worthy of a pick in the late teens. What does NJ see?

My player comp for Alberts Šmits is Ivan Provorov. Big, awesome skater. I have questions about his decision-making. Would not have been my pick here by any stretch but the data reflects well on him and there are a lot of physical tools to work with.

I'm not as high on Chase Reid as others are but if NYR get him at 5th you have to be very, very happy. Carels would also be a good pick here.

Am I a boomer if I just want the team to announce the pick at the podium, take the picture, and get off stage?

For posterity, here's how I would view the potential outcomes for NYR at 5th overall:

My understanding is that Anaheim had been talking to NYR about Trocheck for a while. Doesn't mean he's guaranteed to be included in a Mason McTavish deal but...

The centrist attempt at creating its own DSA is going to be so funny.

Dems have to run on this hard. Do not let the RFK types try to spin what his own party just signed off on here. Actual Monsanto, the comic book villain of Adbusters days, was shielded from liability over poisoning Americans. I don't care if it's slopulism: this Supreme Court wants you dead.

It's easier for media to portray the election as an attack on American Jews than to delve into what NY-10 really was: The second most Jewish Congressional district in the US having a referendum between two Jewish candidates on what it means to do Jewish politics in the age of Trump and Netanyahu.

Lander on comparisons between his flank of the Democratic Party and the Tea Party: "We're joyful about what it looks like to deliver. That is very different energy than what the Tea Party brought. We want to build something, not just break something."

Errol Louis of NY1 says New York is in the “middle of a political revolution of sorts.”

Sorry did I just see that Claire is winning by 20 points?

You love to see it

It’s a great day to send a new generation of Democrats into government.

The Rangers' idea of a savior was a guy who is now the fourth-best forward in Florida, who wore out his welcome as captain, and who didn't even want to come to NY. Just completely out of touch with the reality of the situation on all counts.
