I like the Columbus Crew and my wife. And my kids.
I live in Pennsylvania, so please excuse my political narcissism.

Not even close to twelve teams deserve to play for title. College football is an outrageously low quality product.

On the other site, Wiebe is trolling everyone about how Miami’s success simply boils down to their “ambition”.
Obviously he can’t broadcast it for employment reasons, but I do wonder what man of the people @mattdoyle.bsky.social says about Miami in private.

There are a million possible reasons as to why, but Issa slow playing the appointment of a manager after his slow playing the past two windows makes his margin for error much slimmer. #Crew96

It sucks that this is both 1. Unambiguously true and 2. Among the worst things to happen in the history of human communication. It’s society-wide brain rot.
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

Why do Celtic’s attackers run slower than any professional athletes I’ve ever seen?? Like, I’m under no illusions about the quality of MLS, but huh? #Crew96

It's not like I'm deathly worried or anything, but it's evidence we are in the dumbest timeline that the thought of what will happen if my infant daughter gets measles, since she's not yet old enough for her first MMR dose, occupies space in my mind.

I think it is notable that one of the ways to fast track your way into a job in this administration is to lose winnable elections.
Karoline Leavitt, Kari Lake, Joe Kent, Dr. Oz, and Sean Parnell to name a few.

Had a couple of students wearing Notre Dame gear during a final exam today. I expect they think if they get an A on the final, it should nullify any Ds or Fs from the beginning of the semester.

FOX having the American FIFA TV rights has always stunk to high heaven and their coverage has been predictably awful the entire time.
But snagging Rebecca Lowe, easily the best studio host in all of American sports broadcasting, for the World Cup gives me a modicum of hope.

My kids instantly complain every time I turn on a podcast in the car.
But my 7yo listened to @tonyreast.bsky.social’s Locked On episode today and said ‘I actually like this one’.
Take note pod industry - the children yearn for Pacers content.

This western conference final between MLS.com’s preseason predicted bottom two of Vancouver and San Diego is a real shot in the arm to the concept of ‘championship windows’ in this totally random league.

People like to complain about paying for streaming services. But on the consumer side, the Substackification of written content is so much worse.
The product(s) you receive might scratch your niche interests, but its quality is lower than what used to exist largely because of audience capture.

A few things can all be true at once.
1. Nancy is the best coach in #Crew96 history holy jeezus you’re dim if you disagree.
2. Celtic is a *much* better job than anything in MLS. Nancy would be certifiable to not take it.
3. It sucks, but no one knows what will happen next season.

I regret to inform you that the morally correct position is to root for Miami against the sportwashing petroclub that Don Garber allows to play on a U10 sized dirt field.
