Always great to check in with Chip Smith when he returns to @blankcheck.bsky.social March Madness. This year, we found out he: - was responsible for the Luka trade - has been runnning Karla Sofía Gascón's social media for years - is trying to get Candyman into his polycule Legend.

She believed (for awhile)! The guys dig into USWNT head coach Emma Hayes's approach to the friendly tournament, including what worked, what didn't, and what did and didn't matter. Fire it up!

My thoughts on last night's USWNT performance against Japan, with comments from Emma Hayes.

'Our future is exciting' Despite the second-place finish at the SheBelieves Cup, USWNT head coach Emma Hayes remains optimistic about the side's development. @evandavissports.bsky.social analyzed the team's performance in their loss to Japan, with choice words from Hayes.

Rebeca Bernal's signing was finally announced by the Washington Spirit. Jonatan Giráldez now has three international center backs for two positions. Which two will be the best fit? @evandavissports.bsky.social dug into the data to find some answers.

Welles vs. Malick in the first round is absolutely brutal but we stan the big fella

Though Casey Krueger has intimated that her USWNT may be over for now, she was in some of the best form of her professional life when she last appeared for the side. @evandavissports.bsky.social spoke with Krueger last December about "the most fun" she had been having in her career.

#NWSL news: Former University of Utah forward Katie O’Kane has signed a one-year deal with Racing Louisville after joining the team as a non-roster invitee. Another NWSL college signing. @evandavissports.bsky.social wrote about the success of 1st year w/o a draft on @equalizersoccer.bsky.social:

"Part of the interview process was for each candidate to enter Parsons' office doing the 'Oh Hi Mark' scene from THE ROOM. 'The best-worst performance will really increase your chances,' Parsons shared."

LFG

At this time a year ago, only 46 college players had signed professional contracts. This year? 116. @evandavissports.bsky.social analyzed the data and spoke with Meghann Burke of the @nwslplayers.bsky.social about how the elimination of the NWSL draft has already been a massive success for players.

I've been putting it off for years, but there are no longer any excuses: I gotta buy a 4K player.

SHORESY but if Shoresy and Nat were the same person

Sundar Pichai gives Drumpf a foot massage and thinks he won't get kicked in the face

The last time Patrick Mahomes got sacked six times and threw two picks was...never. That's never ever happened to Mahomes before.

Imagine how loathed you must be if Kendrick's lawyers, the NFL's lawyers, FOX's lawyers--all of 'em are just like "yeah we're cool if you destroy that man"

Has a more beautiful interrogative sentence ever been written than this?

“As a comedian, you have to start the show strong and you have to end the show strong. Those are the two key elements. You can’t be like pancakes, when you’re all happy at first but by the end you’re fuckin'sick of ’em.”

I was inspired by my friendly debate with @courtneystith.com to expand my thoughts about Savy King--what went wrong last year, and what could still go right for her with Angel City and beyond.

So many people need more help than me. Budgets are stretched thinner than pizza dough. Plus, *gestures wildly* everything else in the world. But if you can help in any small way, I'd be very grateful.

Lexi Missimo, a touted college prospect, has signed with Dallas Trinity FC through the 2026-27 season. The club calls the signing 'a significant milestone' for the club and the USL Super League. @evandavissports.bsky.social has the story.

Jaedyn Shaw is the new centerpiece of the North Carolina Courage. How will she fit in tactically? With each answer comes a wrinkle. Thoughts from Shaw and Ashley Sanchez at #NWSL Media Day, with a data and analysis from @evandavissports.bsky.social 👇

Somehow missed this during the fires. It is, as always, the best top-10 list of the year.

Broke: some of it is transcendental Woke: some of it is really dumb

Jane Campbell at NWSL media day yesterday: "The main reason I re-signed was because of Ted Segal and Jess O'Neill. Ted is really trying to make an impact. He wants to make decisions for the betterment of the club. With Ted and Jess headhunting this thing, I think it's a good sell for players."

Gay male NFL fans everywhere:

Alanna Kennedy celebrates her 30th birthday today by signing with Angel City. How will she fit in a very different NWSL than the one she left more than four years ago? @evandavissports.bsky.social has some quick thoughts.

This is beautiful

I got to be friends with David Lynch when we were both at Universal years ago. A very kind man, he was a fan of Bob's Big Boy. So was I. I'm going to miss him. R.I.P. David.

. @coreyatad.com captures the essence of David Lynch's place in the American cultural landscape, a feat few (if any) managed to accomplish.

Love the Mel Brooks/David Lynch friendship so much

There will never, ever, be someone like David Lynch again. An artist born when he was, where he was, who went where he did, saw what he did, experiencing the specific historical conditions along the way, all while keeping a childlike wonder amidst every possible chance to turn against the world

To say that he was my favorite filmmaker would be an understatement. It’s no exaggeration that for me personally, the fact that I got to be alive for 35 years on this planet while David Lynch walked the earth and made art is only akin to sharing oxygen with a literal prophet (1/15)
