Who thought this was a good idea to share with the world?

According to this Supreme Court, President Biden's Department of Education was exceeding its power by trying to forgive peoples' student loans. President Trump, on the other hand, has the power to just completely dismantle the entire Education Department.

Sadly, the Buy Canadian movement has extended to Canadian youth sports where some clubs are boycotting Trump's America. Story in my youth sports newsletter, Good Game... goodgamekid.substack.com/p/canadian-y...

One Canadian volleyball club call just announced it would forgo travel to the U.S. this year. Other clubs are thinking the same. goodgamekid.substack.com/p/canadian-y...

When I referee, the amount of times I hear youth players say quietly: "Shut up Dad" or "Shut up Mom" when they yell things form the sidelines is almost every time the parent yells. The players absolutely hate it, don't do it.

A young athlete anxiously glancing at their parent in the stands. Lost confidence and joy. These are just a few of the ramifications of sideline coaching. goodgamekid.substack.com/p/stop-with-...

Ok, football decision. How lame.

Trump is now meddling in the NFL draft

Richard Sherman just doesn’t look right repping the Seahawks.

Enjoying all the Travis Hunter deep dives today.

Kids and parents are increasingly defined by youth sports. What happens when they burn out? Or don't grow? goodgamekid.substack.com/p/my-kid-the...

The ridiculousness of youth sports can be summed up by the fact that we pay gate fees on top of tournament fees without wincing. Who else is guilty?

The fact that 11.4% of parents believe their kid has the ability to go pro underscores so many issues in youth sports. I wrote on this and more from last week's @aspeninstitute.bsky.social Project Play Summit.

Per the just released State of Play Sport Parenting survey, parents spend an average of 3:23 daily on youth sports. Be it laundry, communication, team parent duties, etc.

Club-hopping is super common in youth sports. I wrote on the few reasons to leave and the numerous reasons to stay. goodgamekid.substack.com/p/the-perils...

My 3 favorite Patrick/Pats. 1) Patrick Willis 2) Pat Benatar 3) Patrick Dempsey Who are yours?

Name a better opening theme than The Sopranos (Woke Up This Morning). Yeah, you can’t.

None of the private lessons or gunning for top teams means anything if your kid doesn’t love the sport. Crazy how many youth sports parents don't get this.

Change is hard but I prefer the rip the bandaid method of the 49ers vs. one piece at a time.

So glad this is finally happening. goodgamekid.substack.com/p/us-soccers...

Can't WAIT to be part of Project Play Summit 2025 from @aspeninstitute.bsky.social at Cal. This year's lineup is stacked with thought leaders & innovators in youth sports. And excuse me while I fangirl out, but the keynote speaker is THE Michael Lewis. 🌟 More info here: projectplay.org/summit/2025

Have long been fascinated by the NFL’s flag football push…esp now that Roger Goodell has floated the idea of a pro flag league. Wrote about how we got here and the possible impact on youth football. open.substack.com/pub/goodgame...

Because our @theguardian.com editors like to torture us sometimes. 😬 cc: @ollieconnolly.bsky.social @gsearles.bsky.social @bydavecaldwell.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

Holy shit!!!!!!!!

Crazy that Brady didn’t score a first quarter TD in first nine SBs and won that many.

This feels a little like what the Bucs did to Mahomes in the Super Bowl.

Harrison Butker is a captain?

This crew has been horrendous. Hate watching playoff football and having to think this much about the impact of the officiating

Could not agree more with Troy Aikman. C’mon

Just going to pretend the game is 3-3 as it should be.

That was NOT helmet-to-helmet.

We did not need to see Taylor’s emotions during that moving anthem.

Is it Lamar vs. Josh day yet?

Some awfully loud MVP chants for a road game.

Well, that was unexpected.

Derrick Henry no words

Honestly, this game was closer than the final score. The Vikings won't fail that much in the red zone next time. The discourse is going to be more anti-Vikings than it should be.

Sam Darnold is way too amped.

Always lovely to have to rely on the Jets. 😩

It should be illegal for Burrow and Chase to not be in the postseason.

Crazy that ESPN/MNF can spend so much on its announcers and ancillary programming and still not negotiate a contract that allows for late season flexing. A MNF game that means nothing in Week 17 is brutal.

See ya, Aaron Rodgers

i don't think these should count toward official receiving stats or anything. i have no desire to mess with historical standards. but I would enjoy playing in a fantasy league that awarded a half point per DPI yard

🚨DREW LOCK CURRENTLY HAS A PERFECT PASSER RATING🚨

Cam Bynum getting segments on Countdown and FOX this am.
