much love to you all 💛 Happy Valentine's Day!!

Visual summary of my previous post for Utah Royals FC psyche study using See's Candies suckers. The team was greatly surprised that Kate Del Fava chose vanilla over cinnamon. Word on the street is that she constantly chews cinnamon gum.

1/6 At Utah Royals Media Day, I performed a highly scientific experiment w/ the players. I offered each a See's Candies sucker in the following flavors: Vanilla Chocolate Latte Cinnamon Butterscotch Each flavor has a profile that provides deep, profound, undeniable insights into their psyche.

it's about that time we had a flash sale on tix! check out the deets ⤵️

After attending Utah Royals Media Day, I say don't sleep on URFC in 2026. They gonna cook up something special for us. I'll put together my thoughts tomorrow & @royalriotstock.bsky.social can add his, but ya'll -- I've got a feeling about season 3.

Best Super Bowl halftime show. Bad Bunny 👏🏼

Whoa! Hit up twice today to sign to repeal Prop 4. The second time at my door in Kaysville. Big push by the Utah GOP to fix our elections. We can do better than this Utah.

I'm reading Mr Roger's bio, 'The Good Neighbor'. Just came across this song: 🎶 What do you do with the mad that you feel? When you feel so mad you could bite? When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong… And nothing you do seems very right? 1/3

The playbook is transparent. Arrest journalists at the time you're going to release Epstein files. Create discord & outrage here in an attempt to distract there. There are millions of us keeping score. We can keep tabs here, there & everywhere. Their days in power are numbered.

Why, yes, I will continue switching from posting about our country falling apart and soccer. Why do you ask?

NWSL players who I've noted posting/reposting in solidarity with Minnesota on IG: Mandy McGlynn Izzy Rodriguez Zara Chavoshi Madison Hammond Bella Bixby Tierna Davidson Alana Cook Mandy Freeman I'm sure I missed some, but probably not a ton. I'm disappointed, not going to lie.

Grok, design a soccer ball that looks like an unbleached sphincter. NWSL

The rise of the global game - For the first time in 2025/26, the NWSL welcomed players from Mali, Angola, Slovenia, Italy & Paraguay 🌐

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

🚨 TIME CHANGE 🚨 Pre-match autograph session will now run from 6-6:45pm
