That was a crazy basketball game and it's nice to see the Terps hit a buzzer beater for once!

I don't think I've seen many player-managers in CONCACAF before, and now we're going to see it with one of the best teams in the region and in CCC. This is an incredible region.

The bet here is that the Florida blue line pixie dust is very special, because I don't like taking on a contract through 2030, trading away another first and a potentially pretty good goalie for someone who is second pair this year (and hopefully not first pair in the future).

I love that I have the choice tonight to either watch outdoor hockey at the Horseshoe or NRL Rugby from Las Vegas on network television.

Modern English football is a 5-club competitive environment, and Tottenham are the 6th club. Tottenham's trophy drought under Daniel Levy says much more about the changing landscape of English football than it does about any deficiencies in N17. Let's dig into it.

The British actor who plays the Duke alum finance dad on the new season of White Lotus is doing tremendous work with the southern accent; he’s found exactly the one that that guy would have. I feel like he studied footage of SEC athletic directors

The soccer gods are extremely dead set on Spurs somehow losing every game but one in the league by one goal even in the weirdest circumstances. The most bizarre season ever.

Amazing what happens when you have a squad of healthy players and a week off to boot. You can rotate them, make five subs in a game and play the style of soccer you want. It's incredible!

I do not know much about James Gladstone, who the Jaguars just hired as their new GM, so I'm going to need some help learning about him.

It's more watched than any NHL game with reliable measuring metrics ever (most watched ever was STL/BOS Game 7 in 2019 on NBC which did 8.723M). Honestly as someone who has followed NHL TV viewership for a long time, that's beyond bonkers.

It’ll never be funny to me that one of the biggest companies in history lit itself on fire and burned through $100,000,000,000 trying to make something that pales in comparison to what bored and horny furries have built for free

And the next edition for @colbydguy.pucksandpalms.com at the Substack is Utah's Michael Kesselring: pucksandpalms.com/p/bill-zitos... Hipster target? Maybe. Is he even available? Who knows. But he's an intriguing player to be sure.

Finland didn't have the horses for this tournament but man I love the way they play and the guts they show. Yes, it's because there's a giant Panthers influence but it's so admirable what they're able to do on a consistent basis at this level.

For those of you on here not already attached to MLS, what if you took the normal randomness and chaos of soccer, but then didn’t allow the teams owned by oligarchs and nation states to outspend the other guys by orders of magnitude. But you still gave them enough rope to hang themselves repeatedly.

Man these two teams stink out loud, but at least Spurs found a way to win a one goal game (somehow) and they have a relatively full squad of players to use now. They need to play better than most of this game though, they should have been out of sight ages ago.

Eternal Wario Hockey is an unlockable air hockey game in WarioWare: Twisted in which Wario never loses. If the player has enough skill and patience to get 500 points, the game will forcibly try to make the player lose by elongating Wario's arms indefinitely.
