Do you like walk off touchdowns? How about a walk off touchdown to cap off an 80-yard 2-minute drive and win Central Washington's first Lone Star Conference title? Unreal.

Tried to capture what Lenny Wilkens meant to the Sonics franchise and Seattle more generally when his statue became the first outside Climate Pledge Arena in June. Glad Lenny got to see that fitting tribute before passing away Sunday at age 88. Farewell to a legend. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

50,628 at Lumen today for Sounders-PSG ...
Sounders drew 51,000+ for Atletico and 30,000+ for Botafogo.
All in all, considering the missteps with pricing and likely freebies those are 3 decent crowds for the Club World Cup.

It's probably going to get overshadowed by 3 losses, but Cristian Roldan has been exceptional in the Club World Cup.
Don't know if at age 30 there is a path or desire to go overseas but he's been the Sounders best player and it's not close.

Here is the list of MLB players all-time with 30 HRs in a team's first 81 games.

Seeing Julio Rodriguez 12th in OPS among CFs only reinforces that while his other numbers are better he’s not hitting the ball hard at all.

I know it had previously been reported that they’ll be putting in a hybrid grass/turf mix at Lumen next summer. I just heard from Alan Ferguson, FIFA’s Senior Pitch Management Manager, that it’s actually “a cool season mix of Kentucky Blue Grass and Perennial Rye Grass.”
