    2024 WS: Yankees vs. Dodgers

    Yep, I was rolling my eyes pretty heavily at that one. Are the headline (link-text) writers just trying to get clicks, regardless of what the clip shows? One could say that's "pathetic."

    Tito Francona To Be New Reds Manager

    It could still happen. Never underestimate the draw of a cribbage partner.

    NFL Week 4 Game Thread

    What would’ve happened had they accepted the penalty there? They would’ve had the ball 15 yards further up the field for one last play? Maybe the fans wanted to see a Hail Mary…

    Joe Castiglione to retire at end of season

    For me Joe Castiglione has been the sound of so much of my life. Starting with listening to him and Ken Coleman-- often holding the transistor radio close to my ear, volume at its lowest so my parents wouldn't know I was listening to the game after lights out. Decades later, Joe keeping me...

    Team USA 2024

    That last 3, my brother in law and I screamed and significantly startled our Minecraft-playing daughters in the room (their fault for not being interested and watching the game with us!) A great moment in sports viewership and family bonding…

    Team USA 2024

    And just like that they cut the lead to 2.

    5-Ring Circus: The Olympics Soccer Thread

    It was a soccer event in Montpelier VT. I don't remember who asked the question but she did find it amusing and gave up that nugget somewhat sheepishly.

    5-Ring Circus: The Olympics Soccer Thread

    Saw Kristine Lilly talk with my daughter back in 2018 and she said the Brazilian team was the one that most embellished injuries in order to draw calls. Seems like things haven't changed.

    5-Ring Circus: The Olympics Soccer Thread

    The decision of the second attacker to pass the ball rather with her head than trying to score on her own showed a lot of composure there, I thought.

    5-Ring Circus: The Olympics Soccer Thread

    That sequence for goal number 3 was crazy, (assuming it holds)

    Team USA 2024

    Jrue looking like the MVP so far, and how was that not an up and down travel on LeBron?

    5-Ring Circus: The Olympics Soccer Thread

    Very entertaining game. Sophia had a couple of chances to seal the deal which would have reduced overall anxiety.

    5-Ring Circus: The Olympics Soccer Thread

    Horan has seemed a bit off today. The offense looks like they are panicking when they get their rare opportunities. Hopefully that will normalize in the second half. Definitely a dangerous matchup and a worrisome half.

    ESPN Is Pathetic

    Just flipped to the ESPN app as a quick break from work. Second video highlight is Bronny air-balling a three during summer league. I mean, I turned it off in disgust-- kind of pathetic. I guess that's a success for them because I'm posting that it sucks here? So they're not irrelevant?

    2024 UEFA Men’s European Championship

    This is by far the most entertaining game I've seen with England so far this tournament. What made them so loose today? (maybe just a lethargic Dutch defense?)

    2024 UEFA Men’s European Championship

    I like that Spain is at least going through the motions of attacking here rather than turtling in the corner or passing backwards all day.

    2024 UEFA Men’s European Championship

    I was just thinking the same thing. If Spain has success could it spell the end of the Spanish tiki taka? (At least for a moment.) I'm rooting for them for that reason, though I'd like to see France score again and make this an epic match.

    2024 UEFA Men’s European Championship

    This game is a rollercoaster. Every time I look at my work for a moment it's in the back of the net...

    Copa ‘24: Should Have Been a Yellow

    The keeper is out of position so grabs the ball before the throw— no call.

    Copa ‘24: Should Have Been a Yellow

    Is this game being called as one sided as it seems?
