#SportingKC gets their first win of the season. They were always a few steps away… they put it all together tonight, with plenty drama. The buy in is clear and the pieces look solid. Positive signs continue for the Wiz.

And there’s #SportingKC Lasse Berg Johnsen. Folks were excited about him and he’s been having a phenomenal debut. Now topped with a goal.

And #SportingKC is on the board. What a ball from Manu Garcia and Dejan Joveljić with another clinical finish before the half. Great way to put a cap on a solid first half.

CROIX CELLYS HAVE ARRIVED ‼️ Croix Bethune does not miss 🔥

First match, first W for the Current.. Had fans shaky in the first half, but it came together. First impression is fairly positive, coming from behind by 1. Starting the season with 3 matches over the next week is gonna be an early test for this roster. #KCBaby #NWSL

Another debut, now for rookie Gianna Paul, the prolific goalscorer from the University of Alabama. Already making a good impression at the 9, which could be huge as the season continues. #KCBaby

Gabby Robinson, the midfielder, has been activated. The upside of having MFs out with injury is the experimentation. Robinson has played all over the field throughout her career, so might as well use her diverse skillset. #KCBaby

When ya let Ally Sentnor dribble around in the box, that can happen. Absolute stunner fading to the right.. First goal for the Current for her as well.. Current are clicking and in the lead with 30 minutes to go in normal time.. #KCBaby

Immediate curtsy and then was crowned by Michelle Cooper on the touchline. The tradition must continue. Plus, Croix is a celebrator thru and thru. #KCBaby

Croix Bethunes equalizes for Kansas City.

For Renee. For Alex. For Keith. For all those who aren't here.

And just like that, Croix's day is done.. certainly a choice in the 61st minute. One debut for another as Penelope Hocking comes on for the Current. #KCBaby

Just a beautiful sequence from the backline for Croix Bethune's first KC Current goal, at the perfect time. What a ball from Gabby Robinson, flick by Sharples and a clinical finish. Took a while, but the Maseratis are picking up gas. #KCBaby

KC Current's attack was clickin, until it fizzled and Utah scored. Concept is there, still figuring out how to best maneuver their attack and finish in the final 3rd. We'll see how an Armas team without Lo LaBonta and Temwa responds to a deficit. #KCBaby

Utah gets on the board first. Looks like Lorena is getting a concussion test after taking a hit on the head following a set piece. Action is back on, Current down 1-0 late in the first half. Set piece problems continue. #KCBaby

I'm so thrown off that Cece Kizer is now Cece Delzer.

A fun 4-2-3-1 concept for the Current. Looks like this allows their 4 dynamic attackers to rotate positions along the front line thru the first 20 minutes. Some good passes coming from Feist and Scott in the midfield. Croix looks like everything she has already been. #KCBaby

“The Deck is stacked.” Great work from the Blue Crew as always with their tifo. #KCBaby

It’s a beautiful day along the Missouri River at CPKC Stadium for the KC Current for the season opener against the Utah Royals. A high of 69, pretty windy day, and we got Beef bourguignon and strawberry spinach salad for media food, along with creamed kale.

A few big names won’t play for the KC Current today. 16 year old Meila Brewer won’t debut today. Lo is out, so is Rocky. We shall see if Michelle Cooper suits up today. #KCBaby

Time to premiere the Boston LeGay

One of those stories that’s an honor to do and you wanna get it just right. Sat down with KC Current president Raven Jemison about her journey battling breast cancer and how it made her reflect on her life. #KCBaby www.kansascity.com/sports/socce...

The Jayhawks are not having fun and Bill Self is just emptying the bench.. might as well down 20.

And that is Big 12 basketball. March is mad. Jaden Bradley is a dawg. And Iowa State fans are silent.

A nearly full crowd on hand to watch this showdown between Arizona-Iowa State.. You already know it’s KC Hilton Coliseum for this game and will be an extension of Allen Fieldhouse when Kansas faces Houston after this.

Shoutout, as always, to the ops/conversion crew that actually did the work.

An overnight transformation for the Big 12 tournament court. Who knew people loved wood this much.

Welcome back inside the Cortina Curling Stadium for semifinal action. It’s Canada vs Korea and China vs Sweden. The winners to the gold medal game. Losers drop to the bronze medal game. Canada throws yellow rocks and start with hammer. Almost game time.

The Big 12 Tournament is switching back to a hardwood court for the semifinal round. The glass floor experience is over. www.kansascity.com/sports/colle...

BYU is in the Big 12 quarterfinals. #Chiefs HC Andy Reid and his grandson are back on the BYU bench.

How do you watch the NWSL this season? Get your note pad ready.

BYU’s AJ Dybantsa dropped 40 on Tuesday, then 27 on Wednesday in front of #Chiefs Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. Reid sat next to BYU’s bench court side. Could’ve coached himself if he wanted. BYU legend to potential BYU legend.

San Diego FC cooking with 10 men is not surprising but so wild. #ChampionsCup

Iowa State, UCF, BYU and TCU all won. Plus, a few familiar faces showed up.

It warms my heart to see these PWHL games packed and loud and streaming numbers stay going up..

There’s a way to format this the way they want but I don’t believe this is it..

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes also here naturally. Rousing ovations at the Big 12 men’s tourney for him and HC Andy Reid.

Directly in front of the media table: #Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and his grandson. BYU is fighting for their Big 12 tournament run and Andy Reid could give you a dap on the way to the bench.

Cincinnati's final sequence goes sloppily, similar to the latter part of their second half. HC Wes Miller tells the team to go fast with a timeout left at 12 seconds in OT. Missed shot marked the end. Complete Cincinnati implosion, and they are out of the Big 12 men's tourney.

Just a Big 12 men's tourney implosion by Cincinnati in the last few minutes of this second half against UCF. Gave up an 8-point lead in the last 2 minutes. Clock winding down, UC HC Wes Miller calls a TO with 0.8 seconds. Day Day Thomas airballs a wide open 3. Time for OT.

KC Current roster update following Hocking's acquisition: Temwa Chawinga and Michelle Cooper remain on season-ending injury lists just a few days before the season opener against Utah. Mary Long is on the 45-day injury list after ACL surgery in December. Interesting note.

The Current could use some veteran presence, figured they would reach out to someone for some services. And a solid pick up in Hocking. #KCBaby

Bay FC announced today the club has agreed to a trade with the Kansas City Current, acquiring $350,000 in intra-league transfer funds in exchange for forward Penelope Hocking.

Seemingly inevitable since the strikes but still so so sad www.theguardian.com/football/202...

This is your sign to start watching Costa Rican soccer. You want CONCACAF at its highest degree??? Wooo boy, watch Alajuelense-Herediano… or Saprissa.. Pure football.

if you were at this game and unaware of the bam performance youd have to thing the announcer was about to say Something Epic

I— www.nytimes.com/athletic/710...

Apologies, I've done a poor job updating everyone over here. The WNBA told players on Feb. 23 that a deal needed to be agreed to by March 10 or the 30th season would face delays. Both sides are actively working to reach a deal. frontofficesports.com/wnba-cba-dea...

bringing some late updates to Bluesky: We are going on eight hours of negotiations between the WNBA and WNBPA. I'm told no one from either side has left tonight's meeting. Attendees arrived at 5PM. The stakeout has included multiple drop offs from kind sources, food, coffee, sweets.
