I know there isn't a good placement for the Super League Finals patch, but this is why I dislike center crest kits lol

In its opening economic proposal to the players, MLB owners revealed some of the details of a hard salary cap. In 2027, they’re proposing a salary cap of $245.3M and a floor of $171.2M with a 50-50 split of revenues. More details (free to read):

The only way to avoid a lockout would be to have a hard floor and cap. Now it is up to figuring out the exact numbers. Could be a massive moment in MLB's history.

This was literally San Antonio tonight

As an IU Bloomington grad, it is Momma Bears. Never understood the hype (still good but not THAT good) 🤷‍♂️

I've had a recurring thought over the past year-ish: The #NWSL must reach new audiences to grow at true scale. It also can't ignore its current/longtime fans. That audience expansion creates inevitable tension. The catch is, the league needs both -- and the dilemma is not unique in sports or biz.

Just take my money

The attorneys general of New Jersey and New York are investigating FIFA’s 2026 World Cup ticketing practices. The investigation focuses on inflated ticket prices and fans being misled as to what they were buying.

If you are wondering about the last time a 2. Bundesliga team won the relegation playoff, it was Union Berlin in 2019. Yeah, there hasnt been a 2. Bundesliga winner in 7 years We'll see about if Paderborn can pull it off. The odds are looking good for them, but all it takes is one counter.

An email instead of a phone call to let a player know that you're not bringing them to a World Cup is *cold*. More than that, it signals what we all already suspect: Poch doesn't plan to stay on as USMNT manager after this summer's World Cup. If he did, he would've picked up the phone.

USL-C: Indy race to three points vs Lexington winning 3-1 After a fortuitous red card in the 3rd minute by Lexington, Indy eventually took advantage and pulled away. Lindley becomes the all-time appearance leader in club history. open.substack.com/pub/beyondth...
