UConn Football: "I am matter...I am anti-matter...I can see your past...I can see your future...I consume time...and I will consume you!

Miami, which could not win the ACC, will play for the championship. Makes you wonder what UConn, which beat the ACC champ, and went undefeated* could have done if the powers at be hadn’t conspired to exclude UConn from the playoff. *in regulation

I’m a college football novice but from what I can tell the SEC is kind of a joke league?

If only we had some clues about where Cristian Espinoza could be signing

Sending lots of love to the Twin Cities and all of Minnesota right now. A place that has been so incredibly welcoming to us, by some of the kindest people on Earth. The soccer community in MN is like no other, and we stand in solidarity with all the people pushing back on this immense cruelty. ❤️

Another great explainer on the Miami situation from Arman. Here's another thing I want to point out: let's say Miami get the cashfer for Blackmon across the line, spending $3m of Mas's money. Let's then say he's benched for being insufficiently Argentine. Let's say he's then traded for $1.5m GAM.

Spending $4m on a 29-year-old winger who’s scored double-digit goals in a league season *once*… eight years ago.

checking in on elon musk, the guy who absolutely did not give a nazi salute last year

really aggravating that the NYT has a huge pack of the best journalists on the planet, and then nearly all of the key decisions regarding attention, framing, and overall coverage are driven by a crypto right wing nepo baby and a dozen-ish of his toadies

Our first episode of 2026 is here! We break down the Michael Bradley intro, talk roster moves, and chat with friend @mattdoyle.bsky.social! #RBNY www.youtube.com/watch?v=X81q...

ICE shoots into vehicles because nobody's actually pulling weapons on them. But they know a vehicle can be considered a deadly weapon in court, and it's the only justification they're gonna find for what they're obviously itching to do.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Two million dollars. I still can't get over it. #RCTID

We got good old fashioned transfer drama. I love the cashfer rule so much.

Smart work here from Seattle’s FO.

Broadly agree with "don't post murder videos on the internet" but there are a lot of politically moderate people who are not going to believe that's real as described unless they see the video for themselves

Not great for the Timbers. Not great!

they are recruiting for the worst, bottom-of-the-barrel chuds imaginable and those chuds are behaving exactly as you'd expect

Big get here for Cincy. Likely the starting left wingback.

Nashville immediately move into the Tier 1 contender group. They oughta send Chris Leitch a fruit basket.

Your friend and ours, @mattdoyle.bsky.social joins us this week to talk Bradley at #RBNY! Show drops tomorrow night!

Would've preferred the Waldos, but this'll do.

Free Newsletter: Yeah, I really do think there's going to be more global superstars on their way to MLS this year. But they'll be coming to enhance a given team's POWER, not to create it from scratch. open.substack.com/pub/tacticsf...

Finished watching DEATH BY LIGHTNING about the assassination of James A Garfield. It was really excellent. Taught me so much about that period of history without feeling overly didactic. Truly makes you wonder what a Garfield presidency could have been, particularly on civil rights, if he had lived.

This was the most fun I've had in a long, long time.

I created a quick calculator in Claude, and it says it's 0.56% or 1 in 178.

They're bringing back the Waldos. The USMNT has regained the mandate of heaven.

MLS teams are suddenly in the market again for some of the world's biggest stars, who are now joining the league with more and more frequency. I wrote about why that is, and who could be next on the list. www.mlssoccer.com/news/global-...

This was the most fun I've had in a long, long time.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Wicky won 12 of 52 games in 2 seasons with the Chicago Fire.

Great article here on the whys and hows of the Revs stadium deal.

The 'Caps still have a killer 3-man winger corps in Gauld, Kenji & Sabbi, and now have a boatload of GAM and roster space to go out and add more. Plus an open U-22 slot, a head coach that develops young players, and basically zero other needs they have to address this winter. They're fine.

Insert "Dayne St. Clair" for "Justin Haak" here. Just the same story all over again.

one thing I do like about this theory is that it would explain why Rubio was so aggro at the press conference -- he would be the one who wants more than this

A group of Peruvian shamans gathered on a beach in southern Lima to perform their annual New Year ritual, delivering predictions for 2026 that included the fall of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and a serious illness for US President Donald Trump

When's the last time a major power instigated an offensive war and came away thinking "that was a great idea, we achieved our objectives and made our country a better and safer place." Like 150+ years?

He's mad she won the Nobel Peace Prize and he didn't. That's it. That's what it's all about. Best part is she idiotically and sycophantically dedicated her prize to him and he still won't back her and prefers to publicly denigrate on a day like today.

The mysterious Ann Winterburne — who has only ever edited John Herdman's Wikipedia page — was back at it again last month, deleting the entire Canada drone spying scandal section while Herdman was in talks with the Indonesian national team

Anyone have eyes on this dumb f*ck?
