Hey, that's a cool job for you one of you beautiful people

Guys don't make me write another piece about this. deadspin.com/no-the-backf...

Things I’m excited for: The Winter Olympics 🥇 But I’m not excited for “the backflip was banned because of Surya Bonaly” discourse season

donald trump has received the nobel peace prize in the way that michael scott declared bankruptcy

Deep sigh. Surprised U.S. Figure Skating doesn't know better. (This makes me so unbelievably nervous for these athletes!!)

Has anyone seen the full comments / press conference from Luc Tardif last week? Trying to figure out if this is sloppy journalism, insightful journalism, or yet another example of the IIHF ignoring women's hockey.

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

Only *TWO* veteran WNBA players are signed for 2026, so when the CBA gets done there could be a frenzy of activity and players changing teams. Breanna Stewart talks about the free agency chatter down in “Tamper Bay,” aka Unrivaled HQ. Listen to the full episode: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

Fin! That's just 10 out of hundreds of stories, but there are many more to come. I'm joining the "Good Game with Sarah Spain" (cc @sarahspain.com) podcast team next week, and let's just say I cannot wait to get started! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

Everyone say hey to @biancahillier.bsky.social - the missing piece who will join me and @byalexazzi.bsky.social to take Little Citrus to Big Citrus status again! 🍊 Looks like I’ve got big “Sara/h” shoes to fill as a coworker…

GOOD GAME IS HEADED TO THE OLYMPICS IN LESS THAN A MONTH! 🤯🤗 Requesting: Tips for Milan, Cortina & Livigno Tips for covering an Olympics (my first!)

Every time I hear a commentator use the term "Olympian" to describe an athlete who just qualified for the Games, my brain immediately scrolls through the list of athletes who got injured in the weeks between qualifying and the Olympics. It is a long list!!!

In case you haven't seen, these are the people and methods choosing the players for the various lists that will determine the NWSL's proposed "High Impact Player" category. First up, the Ballon d'Or voters. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Weird how The Free Press was able to publish all of these without comment from the Washigton University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital.

Little Citrus is back for another holiday hot take speed round – Christmas edition! @byalexazzi.bsky.social and I share our opinions on artificial trees, Hallmark movies, Die Hard & more. Then some hot takes from a few Slices & a couple of your fave NWSL stars. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

It’s the 2025 Slice-ees! @byalexazzi.bsky.social & I present nominees in categories including “The Megan Rapinoe I F***ing Yeeted My Achilles in the Final Game Award” for the most unbelievable injury. Plus an in memoriam for athletes who killed us by retiring. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

Whenever I see police spend an entire press conference congratulating themselves on a job well done, instead of sharing details or lessons learned, I immediately think of the first season of “In the Dark.” features.apmreports.org/in-the-dark/...

I loved catching up with Oksana Masters at the Team USA Summit, and I especially appreciated hearing her reflect on the risk and reward of fighting through pain and injuries throughout her career. Listen to the interview here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Multi-sport phenom Oksana Masters talked to @byalexazzi.bsky.social about persevering through dozens of surgeries to become the most decorated Winter Paralympian in U.S. history, her goals for life after competition, and the advice she gives but never follows. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

Seeing Team USA blowout Canada by a combined score of 20-6 in the Rivalry Series only makes me more nervous for the Olympics, if we're being honest.

2x skeleton world championship medalist Mystique Ro tells @byalexazzi.bsky.social about transitioning from the track to the ice, why “warming up” is a little different in her sport & the monopoly one man has on the skeleton shoe market. + our Holiday Gift Guide! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

I would appreciate someone doing an actual scientific study on this, but in the meantime, a hypothesis: If you surveyed the general public and asked people to name a single NWSL player, the success rate would be higher in 2019 than 2025. Even though the league's overall popularity has grown.

Starting to think the only way we’ll ever see an “uninterrupted” 10,000m race on TV is if World Athletics makes the athletes stop at 5000m for a “hydration break”

This is 100% a commercial break disguised as a hydration break

Who has made this 🤣

I'm always super curious about the logistics and politics that come along with retiring a jersey ... so it's noteworthy that this is the first season since 2016 that a UConn player wasn't wearing Sue Bird's No. 10 jersey. Molly Bent: 2016-20 Nika Mühl: 2020-24 Qadence Samuels: 2023-2025

Back in 2023, I asked the incredible @neilpaine.bsky.social to crunch the numbers on the highest paid female athletes, based ✨only✨ on their salaries (i.e. no endorsements). The top 50 was exclusively tennis and golf.

The fact that Caitlin Clark's "salary" sliver isn't visible to the naked eye says a lot about what's at stake in the ongoing WNBA CBA negotiations. (chart via @sportico.bsky.social)

It’s here! Your “Good Game with Sarah Spain” Wrapped!

The Olympics are around the corner! Producer @byalexazzi.bsky.social caught up with speed skater Brittany Bowe at the Team USA summit to chat gold medal goals, taking inspo from her girlfriend Hilary Knight & how to navigate Olympic event scheduling as a couple. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

Often in men's sports the only way to get a league to act right is to pull sponsorship $, but Andrea Brimmer knew taking money out of the NWSL when the players reported abuse would only discourage female athletes from speaking out, so Ally leaned in instead. So much good stuff in here from her👇

Sooo here's a little public records request I just made to the University of Oklahoma.

This suuuuuucks. Lauren Macuga tears her ACL in training Friday AM at Copper and will miss rest of season. Olympics included. Macuga was rising star for US speed team, with a World Cup win and a bronze medal at worlds last season.

Celebrate Thanksgiving the Good Game way! Alex & I run through a Holiday Hot Take Speed Round & share Turkey Day traditions, NWSL stars roast turkey (& sometimes the entire holiday), friends of the show weigh in on sides & condiments, and Slices share traditions! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

Every year I see this remix with just men’s sports, so… Happy Thanksgiving from Good Game with Sarah Spain! 🫘🫛🥔🍅 P.S. Check out the editing skills on yer girl. Watch out world, I’m starting to figure out this whole content creator thing…

US soccer legend Brandi Chastain… coach of the USWNT? The ‘99er and Bay FC founder is taking another step toward her dream this week. Listen to the full conversation: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

Scoring the winning goal in the NWSL championship game only gets you so far, unfortunately. 😂

Good to know that - even at the highest level - they’re still handing out bed shirts to the winners.

The researcher in me couldn’t help but look up how much the Etsy witch charges for this. ($5)

What the signs say 🗣️🏳️‍⚧️

The great Kate Scott gives us a sneak peek at her famous game boards ahead of the NWSL Championship game…

Genuinely curious if setting off fireworks at PayPal Park requires giving notice to Air Traffic Control? (This will not be my last plane-related question or observation of the game.)

It’s almost time!! Also, I would’ve been so distracted if my teams ever had to play next to an active airport.

The FIFA 2026 World Cup “activation” at NWSL Fan Fest 💀

Such a fun live taping of Good Game with @sarahspain.com today! Shoutout to Brandi Chastain and Penelope Hocking for joining, and to all the folks who came out to watch!!
