That's astounding.

I was thinking a little more about the roster and, man, the guy that must really be kicking himself is Zendejas. Flips over to a very crowded midfield pool and despite having a very good FML season... no dice. I don't claim to know the MEX player pool all that well, but I'm pretty sure he'd be in th...

Agree on Weston... Didn't like it when Juve did it, would prefer GGG not do it. Just saying it's an option in a pinch. I'm really curious to see a lineup with Pulisic and Wright bombing the flanks with Gio playing a 10 role. Let Balogun or Sargent post up in the middle. That's a nice little attackin...

Wait, is "spox" a thing now?

Dest acl sucks. Him and a Robinson bring a lot of class and stability getting forward. No choice but to play more defensively at least on one side. Might suit them with the better competition. M Robinson back though. Wonder how he looks Nah. You can put Weah over there.. He has played that position...

Related, I think: Why is Miles Robinson still in MLS? Choice? Skillset? https://www.foxsports.com/stories/soccer/usmnts-miles-robinson-explains-why-he-chose-cincinnati-over-europe Bottom line is that he isn't rated all that high, for whatever reason. Earnie Stewart had done a nice job of creating a...

My issue are gift cards that expire. That seems REALLY shady to me.

There are just not that many D3 schools west of the Mississippi. This is a fairly constant point of contention/consternation for these schools when it comes to sports because they have a very tough time scheduling out of conference games. No reason for Tufts to hop on a plane to play Colorado Colleg...

Watched a decent amount of the Fever v. Liberty game today. Caitlin is starting to sort things out... Starting being the operative word. It's not just her, it's the team. They often don't really run a cohesive offense when she's not handling the ball. The other PG seems like she's trying to prove so...

I think I'm a bit of weirdo, because I'll eat the same thing multiple days in a row if I really like it. To that point, I'll have had dinner-lunch-lunch off of a sausage and fennel pasta dish we made on Wednesday.

Yeah, going back to childhood... We didn't have a lot of money... I hate throwing out food.

My wife is an amazing cook, so bringing in her leftovers trumps fast food most of the time.

Nonlinear FC

As a latchkey kid, I grew up eating cold leftovers because I was lazy and hungry.

One weird thing... I don't particularly like fried chicken dark meat, but... I will eat drumsticks cold.

And I'm resigned to the edit.

I've watched enough bodycam videos to know... If you take a cop for an unexpected, out-of-vehicle ride... You're going to jail. There's no gray area and room for "cooler heads." The situation was likely visually confusing, but... A cop stepping to your vehicle saying stop moving is not amb...

I had to dig a bit to get my head straight, because I know the SEC doesn't have lacrosse. They are playing in the American Athletic Conference, joined by Vandy for just Women's Lacrosse. A 16 seed that took out #6 MD.

Nonlinear FC

The fact that they took down MD is very impressive.

So, my oldest is done this month as well. He'll have his H.S. diploma and almost enough dual enrollment credits to have an AA. We toured Embry Riddle a year or so ago, as he wants to be a commercial airline pilot. Roughly $75k/yr, and you still need 1000 flight hours after graduation to get your co...

So, because I like to make everything about me... My dad was a pilot and I kind of grew up in airplanes. (I'm not giving you guys ammo to edit.) I "flew" many planes as a youngster and was pretty sure that's what I was going to be when I grew up... Until we had a "falling out" wh...

First off, great news!

But, yeah, that's total bullshit on the deposit. I hate shit like that.

I dig the winged helmets!

But the jerseys look like 80s White Sox. No bueno.

Yeah, I'm screwed. Trying to meet up with college buddies and we clearly didn't clock the race.

I haven't watched a debate live in a number of cycles. If something important happens, I'll see it on YouTube or TikTok or whatever.

Anyway, Caitlin Clark started her career with a double-double (20 pts, 10 TOs). Welcome to the W, rook.

Tough first opponent, apparently. The Suns play gnarly 3pt D and press the PG hard.

I know this is a bit of a stretch, but Imma just say it: This type of zaniness is what I point to when American soccer nerds bitch and moan about MLS and USSF their approach to building the sport in this country.

As a leftover birthday present to myself I had the girls sit down and watch this with me last night. Found the DVD to make it authentic. They were into it. Early 90s Keanu being beautiful didn’t hurt (my wife prefers Swayze). Even Busey landed (it’s amazing that none of his comments have aged all t...

Yeah, let me put it this way... I certainly wouldn't take an even up bet that he won't be successful as a pro. He is incredible at what he does.

I have a soft spot for Buffalo having attended World Juniors there and having a great time with my wife and daughter. (well-chronicled here, but it was 6 or so years ago at this point.)

Fucking gross.

And, yeah, HUGE trigger warning for anyone that's suffered any kind of abuse. JFC.

Hopkins is in some kind of rut. They got absolutely shut down by MI in the B1G tourney and they really looked lethargic this weekend. I don't see them getting past the Hoos, unless they have a pretty radical shift. Nice that the game is down the road, though.

A few interesting stats from the UVA win. Payton Cormier scored 8 goals, breaking the UVA record for goals in an NCAA tourney game. In the process, he also broke the UVA record for goals in a season. And on top of THAT he broke the NCAA record for career goals. It's good to play alongside Connor Sh...

Because of Pulisic and Musah, I've watched extended highlights of AC Milan all year... Giroud is still a goal scoring machine.

I'm going to watch that movie even if it didn't get good reviews, so it's great to hear from guys I trust that it's actually a fun movie.

Nice!

Pretty major omission. I'm wagering just about all of us reading that are going to pick up on it, as will the parents reading it who know what's what.
