    NWSL 2025

    BOS Nation makes a good move and hires Steph Yang, a great WOSO reporter (formerly) for The Athletic, as their Senior Communications Director. Steph promptly does not use "BOS Nation" in her BSKY message about this nor anywhere in her note on the website bosnation.com. Glad they really are...

    NWSL 2025

    Agreed about ACFC. Very strange approach. Maybe they’re gearing up for something. Also Sydney is one of my favorite non-Gotham players in the NWSL, have always enjoyed her unpredictable style on the attack. One of my kids happened to be repping gear when we were in LA last year and wandering...

    NWSL 2025

    Ha - this I feel will be a light-spirited (get it?) rivalry between us, but as someone who at this point pretty much only watches soccer and basketball, watching (some) Spirit games this year they felt like watching the Celtics a few years ago -- constant complaining to the refs even though in...

    NWSL 2025

    Keeping up the meager tradition of NWSL threads (although perhaps it will pick up when BOS Nation or whoever shows up) with one for 2025 now that a lot of signings and trades are happening. Mostly from a Gotham FC perspective here, this has been a rough few months. From losing to the Spirit in...

    MLB (Manfred) pondering the idea of a Golden At-Bat

    For any one AB per game the pitching team gets to send as many players from the roster as they like onto the field to try to record the out. The Flock of Fielders rule. Looks like the Rays are going to use their Golden At-Bat... but wait here comes everyone on the Red Sox it's the Flock of...

    Streaming TV Service Differences

    That's interesting, @bohous and I have often thought the same -- my kids primarily use YouTube and the adults primarily use YouTubeTV. I don't want the kids watching a billion ads so I pay for premium on both. Wish they would bundle that even for a minor discount. Maybe eventually as prices keep...

    Streaming TV Service Differences

    We’ve got a thread about cutting the cable which occasionally dives into the “which service to choose question” but I’m hoping to dive deeper on that in this thread. This might be useful for folks who are picking a service for the first time but mostly I’d love to hear from people who have used...

    NWSL ends draft. Who's next? MLS? WNBA? NBA?

    That's just cut off in my image, the text is: We salute our colleagues at the NWSLPA, who showed great resolve and determination negotiating a new CBA! NWSL Players just ADVANCED women’s sports and STRENGTHENED the labor movement with a groundbreaking CBA that secures freedom over their...

    NWSL ends draft. Who's next? MLS? WNBA? NBA?

    Updated title to make this thread clearer, but also this post from the WNBA players association. The WNBA collective bargaining agreement ends in 2027.

    NWSL ends draft. Who's next? MLS? WNBA? NBA?

    This thread could go almost anywhere, and I'd welcome it being moved somewhere better, but to me this is thread worthy. As @67YAZ posted in the Women's Soccer thread, a massive CBA change is coming to the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL)...

    Women's Soccer

    This is big news for US sports in my opinion. The reasons for making this shift and the quotes in the article about the dehumanizing nature of a draft are sure to resonate across certain leagues. WNBA? NBA? I could see shifts in other player-driven leagues. Not to mention if Red were still...

    USMNT Summer 2024: Beauty is in the Eye of the Berhalter

    Did Pulisic play for Poch at Chelsea and then leave? Does this make that relationship strange?

    How to find V&N?

    Years ago I was sayin to my brother that Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel had the best hominy of any duo, all time. I could tell he disagreed but instead of saying so he launches into this personal attack about me.

    Team USA 2024

    The best (and at worst, top three, depending on what source is ranking) USA-born NBA player is on the Olympics basketball roster. He is the only All-NBA first team player from 2023-24 on the roster. He is not, from all reporting, injured, dead, or otherwise unable to play. The team, which...

    The Big Come Back? USWNT post-WC ‘23

    This is a very good roster and I think the best chance for the US to medal. Nearly everyone called can contribute to a faster attack from every position with a lot of defenders that can move that ball down the sidelines. Looking forward to the games!

    6/14 - Finals Game 4 @ DAL – Only Championship Banners

    I walked around NOLA early this morning with my Celtics gear on. Amazingly, I passed a dude in a Lakers jersey (6). He broke eye contact and just looked down at his feet as he shuffled by. 18.
