Ingram: “Everybody’s bought in. Everybody on the team is selfless. We just want to win. Whatever it takes. Nobody has an ego.”
Does he remember the last time he was on a team that won 12 of 13 games?

Not a unique take, but: Sports gambling has broken our brains. It's the least interesting lens through which to analyze sports, putting so much focus on the "what will happen/is happening" over "why will it happen/is it happening." It makes our conversations worse and less curious.

Gonna re-up my angry thread about Ronaldo and corruption from yesterday since he’s supposed to show up at the White House today.
A woman reported that Ronaldo assaulted her in Vegas in 2009. "In recent months, Ronaldo has also been part of diplomatic efforts to woo the U.S. President Donald Trump."
The United States Soccer Federation and the Portuguese Football Federation will soon confirm a match between their men’s teams to take place in Atlanta in March 2026.
The match could end an almost 12-year absence for Cristiano Ronaldo from playing football in the U.S.
