thanks Howard! Let's get you down to DC for a Mystics game! @jennhatfield.bsky.social is so so so good, but there's no reason we can't double up!

It was a really rewarding, but emotional day. People said so many cool things, and my cup was more than full. Spilled a little bit. And by that I mean I cried at the end of the show.

It will have to go dark, as will my other channels. I'm a front office exec now, and while I will do lots of media, I won't be a media person anymore haha

I'll leave them up, but no new content coming, unless we decide to post some of my Mon Sports Network hits there.

Personal news - today will be my last show on @team980.bsky.social.

In many ways this show has been a dream come true, and I wouldn’t be leaving if I wasn’t pursuing something even bigger. I will announce what that is at 4pm today.

Thank you everyone for listening over the years. See you at 4!

Trinity Rodman is inevitable.

Whatever your list of clutch athletes is, she’s on it. Comes back after months off and scores a go ahead goal in stoppage time? It’s both expected and unbelievable all at the same time.

VAMOS SANTOS 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

This game is unhinged. And between the NWSL Final and this game, clearly Leicy has had enough of Marta 😂😂😂

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · Aug 2

I mean at this point this feels like a threat as much as a wish!

andré @838carlisle.bsky.social · Aug 2

sorry marta is never allowed to retire, ever

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · Aug 2

Marta. Of course. Who else?! What an absolutely silly game of soccer.

This is why this sport rocks when you’re a neutral and is the absolute bane of your existence when you root for a side 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I spent 15 good minutes with Adrian Gonzalez yesterday talking about him taking over the head coach (no tags!) of the Spirit.

We also talked about Trinity Rodman's return, Croix Bethune calling us old, and other relevant Spirit things!

Hello. It's me. Someone who has been very quiet for the last month as he did way too much traveling. But I am back, and I come with gifts!

First, I'm back on the radio today and will go very deep into the Terry contract situation, and talk about the RFK vote. Also...

I think that’s what gets me about this one. I don’t think it’s a hot take. I think he thinks it’s actually brilliant. Genuinely thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room on this one.

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · Jul 21

Just when I thought I've heard the dumbest possible take on this situation....*stares blankly into the void*

I mean this is so stupid, I literally had to turn the sound on for the clip to make sure he wasn't misquoted or out of context. I just. Wow.

Another home run by the Harris group retiring Art Monk’s number.

Not only an incredible player, but a phenomenal person who is often forgotten because of his quiet nature. Congrats 81, a number that rightfully will never be worn by anyone in burgundy & gold ever again.

And I didn’t mean the literal rules. I mean what’s the decision making process from someone who knows the inside. I can read the internet 😂

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · Jul 14

But if they know it’s not gonna get off the ground, why board? That’s what I don’t get. All the stuff you say is true if I’m sitting in a lounge waiting as opposed to on this plane at the gate.

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · Jul 14

Yes I know this. My question is why? I’m curious what I don’t know, because this doesn’t make any sense.

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · Jul 14

Question for the people because I do not understand:

Currently on a plane, stuck at my departure gate because of weather. Why would they have put us on the plane, knowing we can’t take off?

Also, what are the rules on letting us off the plane/cancelling/etc?

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · Jul 14

They might have in theory, but if officials can’t get the call right with video supporting than why the hell are they officiating? 😂

Like it should be EASIER with replay, not harder.

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · Jul 8

I don’t know which league started the trend of not showing replays on challenges when you’re at a game but it’s gotta stop.

The people who have the least idea of what’s going on in a game shouldn’t be the people there. It passes absolutely no logic test.

Absolutely not. Mikey played well for a rookie. In no way, shape, or form did he play at a Pro Bowl or All-Pro level last year. Those are two VERY different things.
