They keep doing the impossible and make me less and less excited for the World Cup…

‪We are literally watching an attempt to end free speech and independent press in real time while the government is entering yet another week of a shutdown with no end in sight. The alarms in my head are deafening right now.‬

Teams will eventually realize the soccer community prioritizes authenticity over almost everything else (especially as a first impression!). Always avoid AI in production. The negative feedback isn’t worth whatever money you saved by using it.

Got one for the next listener questions episode @totalsoccershow.bsky.social (particularly for @joeclowery.bsky.social): Would you rather MLS acknowledge the difference between non-penalty goals and PK goals, or secondary and primary assists?

On Wednesdays We Wear Black #KeepPounding

It’s funny to me that last season the #Dodgers won it all in spite of what little starting pitching they had left, and now this season, their starters have carried them to this point.

Me fondly remembering Lima Time, then suddenly realizing how long ago it was and just how old I am.

So now we get to play the “How many runs do the Dodgers need to score before I trust the bullpen?” game. And honestly? I need more. #BleedBlue

Max Muncy goes from cut by the A’s and sitting on his couch in Texas to becoming the Dodgers’ all-time leader with 14 postseason homers. BASEBALL!

Congrats on retirement, Brad Guzan! May the winds be ever calm for you. IYKYK

What the f ck is wrong with people

That feeling when Republicans are doing more to get Donald Trump a Nobel Prize than they are to reopen the government (I genuinely don’t have an GIF for how exasperated I am over this)

So all the Dodgers needs is every starter to go the distance each game and they’ll be fine. That’s simple enough.

When you walk outside on Victory Monday #KeepPounding

I’m not sure I can put into words how sick this makes me. We keep using AI for the wrong things.

Through five games, Etienne has 59 rushing yards and 9 receiving yards. Dallas used the 7th on DT Tommy Akingbesote, who failed to make the team and joined the Panthers’ p-squad for two weeks.

Mingo has played in just 8 games since he was traded to Dallas. He has produced 5 catches for 46 yards in that limited playing time. He was traded with a 7th round pick for a 4th round pick. The #Panthers used the 4th to select RB Trevor Etienne.

The Jets currently have more penalty yards (5) than passing yards (-2) #NFL

Oh god, he said something I agreed with too? The end times HAVE to be near.

Mariners - Never made a World Series Blue Jays - Haven’t won WS since going back-to-back in 92-93 Dodgers - Trying to be first team to repeat since 98-2000 Yankees Brewers - Never made a WS Cubs - Haven’t won WS since 2016 Buckle up y’all. This is gonna be good. #MLBPlayoffs

Ream is the fourth outfield player and sixth overall in USMNT history to earn a cap after 38th birthday. The last outfield player: Preki Radosavljevic in 2001. (h/t @usmnt.ussoccer.com)

FIFA keeps saying next year’s World Cup will grow the game’s fan base here. But Super Bowl-esque ticket prices aren’t the way to entice new or casual fans, let alone families. As always with FIFA, greed wins out.

the thrill of victory the agony of defeat

Never a doubt #Dodgers

Me prepping for Game 4 #MLBPlayoffs

This is (part of) how you make the Open Cup a big deal. By treating it...like a big deal. Lots of respect to Nashville SC for this.

Thanks assholes for ruining it for everyone else. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Dodgers fans when the Dodgers bullpen enters a game

Blake Treinen?

Trevor Lawrence ain’t no Cam.

The Dodgers have scored at least 4 runs in 13 consecutive postseason games That’s tied with the 1970-71 Orioles for the longest such streak in postseason history

Damn right.

The best thing to come out of this weekend is the NFL world being introduced to Eric Collins.

That Carolina Panthers-Charlotte FC victory Monday feeling #KeepPounding #ForTheCrown

Anyone mention yet how the 17-point comeback ties the largest in franchise history? #KeepPounding

Eric Collins is calling this game. Of course it was gonna go down to the wire.

Everyone all together now

Is it still surreal to anyone else that the #USMNT’s captain plays for a MLS team based in Charlotte?

Hi, my name is Penny. I learned today that my bladder cancer has gone microscopic and the doctors can’t even find it and I’m done with chemo (at least for now)!

TFW you learn that members of Congress still get paid during a government shutdown

Me peacefully enjoying the MLB Postseason when I suddenly remember the Dodgers are playing tonight.

World Series prediction no one asked for Phillies over Blue Jays Happy MLB Postseason to all who celebrate

Take a bow, Clayton.

Well, it was fun to proudly wear Panthers gear for a week.

I learned that my employer is going to start mandating that we show up in office four days a week for at least eight hours a day starting in January. I’m so glad I have to rush through my morning routine and sit in tons of traffic all so I can sit in an office to attend Team calls all day.
