Gotham is obviously boosting an already excellent roster, and adding a profile they didn't really have to their attack to boot.

Terry Crews is progressively incorporating more and more of Dwayne Camacho into every ad and public appearance. He's gonna call Martin Brundle "scro" on a grid walk sometime in the back half of the coming F1 season, I can feel it.

I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

they mentioned that reilyn turner had the most shots of any american player last nwsl season, but for me it’s more about where she consistently takes those shots – below the penalty spot and within the width of six yard box

Excellent work from @pcattry.bsky.social, who got the most informative quotes anyone has gotten on the HIP rule from Berman and Burke.
Berman stating that "in my best judgment, my fundamental responsibility is to be a responsible steward of capital" is illustrative of the last ~3 years of NWSL.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.
