Excited for the community being built here! A little intro post: I’ve built & led vibrant adult & youth sports programs for 20+ years. I believe the purpose of sport is belonging and fun. Period. Everything else is secondary. I’m bullish on process & efficiency & love to share knowledge with others.
Ah yes… snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. A long time Packer specialty…

Not a huge fan of air travel in general, but I want to just acknowledge that I'm grateful to Delta Airlines for making it consistently "less awful". Even during a shutdown, flights were on time, staff were friendly, and that extra inch or two of legroom over United or Alaska makes a huge difference!

This is what I'm hoping Giannis does to lil' Cooper tonight...

When the richest, most talent heavy teams in baseball can basically just rest their most important guys while sleepwalking through the regular season (a’la the NBA) a team that has to scratch & claw like the Brewers has NO chance. This team was absolutely spent just trying to get to the playoffs.

The Brewers already possess the NL lead for consecutive CS appearances without advancing to the World Series. This series will pretty much lock them in for good. So many precious opportunities blown in 14 years. Built for the reg season and some summer fun, but not built to win in the postseason.

This Brewer fan has no hope for the next 2-3 in LA. We’ve not just been outplayed, but completely overwhelmed in every phase of the game. There isn’t anything we could “fix” and suddenly be okay in this series. Dodgers are way better… they know it, and play like they know it.

Want to know how stupid college football has become? There was a Texas staffer/intern in charge of holding a giant boombox so the team could run out to their song on the road. 🙄

While the team's future is dire, I'm hoping that all Bucks fans make the time to tune in for Game 5 on Tuesday night, and soak in every moment of Giannis' greatness. We've been so fortunate to have this man call this team and this city his home since 2013. Watch as if it's his final game with us.

Dame injury is brutal, of course, but this entire series the Bucks have looked like a terrible team with one really good player. Assuming they now go quietly into the offseason, it’s hard to see how things get better. Salary cap hell, no draft picks, no Dame, paying a slew of ex coaches… not great.

It’s currently 10:11am PST, and the 10am Bucks vs Pacers game has STILL not tipped off… ESPN game coverage is seriously unBEARable. But I have already gotten a full days worth of hype videos, pundit nonsense and commercials. Ugh.

Working in youth sports, the vileness & cruelty of the current administration has reached even us. Parents are afraid to register their children & coaches are afraid to track player attendance via sport apps out of fear of monitoring, apprehension & incarceration. Children…trying to play sports.

If Fox News is your only daily news source, you a) have NO idea that 6M people protested in 1400 locales yesterday, b) that the federal courts are on the verge of holding the Justice Department in contempt, and c) that stocks are already down 1500 in pre Monday trading. This is gross negligence.

Has anyone noticed how a significant % of Gen Z folks can't seem to pronounce the letter "T" when it's in the middle of a word? For example... the word "buttons". They pronounce it "Buh-ins". Manhattan = "Manha-in". Meeting = "Me-ing". Super weird, and once you hear it, you can't stop hearing it!

Just a Brewers fan suffering through their thorough destruction at the hands / bats of the Yankees this weekend, but I have to admit that the Imperial Star Destroyer alarm sound effect with 2 strikes is pretty awesome…😆

I can’t remember an NCAA Men’s Basketball tourney in my lifetime that has been less interesting than this year’s event. The insane unpredictability that made it March MADNESS and a money making machine seems to have been destroyed by the NIL & transfer portal phenomena it helped create. Ironic.

Deleted the Xitter account today... took me way too long to do it, but I couldn't take it anymore. Good riddance.

Just finished reading “A Gentleman in Moscow”… what an absolute masterpiece. So well written, and such an incredible story about the deep, deep meaning of the relationships we maintain through our lives… sad it’s over!

There’s been a (supposedly) data driven movement to define the modern Gen Z sports fan as a “fluid fan”: someone who follows & cheers for players rather than teams. I personally don’t see a lot of real evidence to support the claim, outside of perhaps some stat driven interest related to gambling.🧵
