The Athletic daily World Cup recaps have been excellent

Contreras also spoke emotionally about Venezuela as it tries to recover from the earthquakes - and about the frustration of a government refusing to let humanitarian aid into the country. Contreras has long been one of the most outspoken players about the political/socio-economic crisis in VZ,

these last two sets of simultaneous world cup group games have been color matched

😵‍💫

liberty might be a flip the switch team

very chalky nba draft

10/10 no notes

Some clutch buckets from Paige Bueckers

I suppose the bucks are thinking the same and are hoping some of the future miami picks end up as good lottery picks given the new anti-tanking lottery odds

heat betting hard on bam's three point shooting being sustainable

This is a play in team lol

welp

with alanna smith out, the wings have no one to match up with dominique molonga, who has 37 and counting late in overtime

oh no wizards

messi is ludicrous

my interpretation of the giannis noise, based on who I trust has real sources (i.e., bill simmons): the heat offer sucks (they have nothing of great value to trade) the celtics offered jaylen the bucks want bos to include hugo c's won't (✊) staring contest per b.s. ps. twolves lol gtfo

👇

the mystics are either world beaters or lose by 30

what a kick

lawd that flick to Itoh

wings were down by six with 35 seconds remaining and then had a five point possession to get within one

I regret missing this in real time

the dodgers are relentlessly good

double doink on that turkey header

get this "match momentum" woo off my screen

this is not quality soccer

the yankees are incredibly talented but thankfully also incredibly dumb

seeing the happy australians in the crowd at the mariners game is fun

both trailers for the new spider-man movie have been awesome if the movie is as good as they suggest it will be, it's going to do infinity war/endgame numbers (ofc might do that regardless)

wait there's another world cup game starting at midnight eastern??

I love the british football announcer technique of adjective followed by repetition with emphasis as the action builds "that's good run. that's a *very good* run!" "the pass is soft there. the pass is *far too soft*!"

you get a draw and you get a draw and you get a draw

For the umpteenth time, the healthiest of the contenders won the NBA title. Don't think Knicks becoming champions bodes well for good teams trying really hard in the regular season.

ftr: if all the celtics have to give up to get giannis is jaylen brown, they should do it without hesitation. it shouldn't even be a debate (if you are a boston fan)

over/under on number of first round draft picks san antonio will need to give up to get off of the de'aaron fox contract: over 1.5 at -115 under 1.5 at +105

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE, OI OI OI

This ended up not mattering, but -- I didn't think it was a flagrant. Clearly a landing zone foul, but not every landing zone is a flagrant. Here's why ... www.nytimes.com/athletic/735...

promising game from cameron brink tonight

knicks only lost one game after going down 1-2 to the hawks truly incredible run

if there's a g6, wemby won't be playing in it

Jacob Misiorowski’s 104.5 mph pitch is the fastest by a starter under pitch tracking (2008) He has each of the top 23

alas this lines up with what I feared given the dismal previews and press leading up to the release

korean players were so spent they couldn't even celebrate the victory after the whistle

a liberty lynx finals rematch with their remade rosters would be fun

pauline astier just pulled a payton pritchard

knicks fans, so classy

lost in all that: steph castle has made some clutch as heck free throws this series
