I love the end of this. "Details...from Palm Beach." Come to Boston in two months and have the vote then.
BREAKING: MLS owners officially voted to flip to a "summer-spring" format beginning in mid-July and running through the end of May. Will start in 2027.
Also voted on the regular season format.

If MLS switches to a winter schedule the NWSL should hold on to a summer schedule with a vice grip.

I am also unclear how long it’s going to take for someone with power to acknowledge trans and queer fans of the NWSL watching this all unfold and what that might mean for them, in addition to the protection of the players.

I see my alma mater decided to pay the bribe to the Creep. I guess if they have that much spare cash they don't need any from me.

"The sandwich did not impede Officer Lairmore’s duties that night,” Sandwich Guy's lawyer argues. "A footlong from Subway could not and certainly did not inflict bodily harm.”

I also think officially engaging bad faith actors over eligibility in a statement like this means the “protect women’s sports” crowd have successfully controlled the conversation. Everyone’s dancing around the underlying problem, except for Sarah Gorden.

The surface danger zone for sandwiches really depends on the ingredients tbh. An Italian sub, for example, has a high frag rate because of the bread consistency but better aerodynamic range, while a croque monsieur and the Rueben have less range but more splatter.
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

If you've just fired your coach because he seems to have no clue how to make the bunch of players you bought work, why then hire back the last coach you fired for the same reason?
Wolves are in advanced talks with Gary O’Neil over a return as head coach but former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is among the other candidates still being considered by the club.

Started in this league as a player. Now I stand in it as a leader. With that comes the responsibility to champion what makes this league and game special.
P, you’re exactly what makes our space special. Wherever your path takes you, whatever kit you wear, know this: we’ve got your back. 💪

I believe a third ACFC player's career likely ended today but I don't suspect too many WoSo fans will be mourning.

Great show last night by Herbie Hancock (including the 15-minute long lecture delivered through a vocoder?) I do wish they had brought on a famous Boston keytarist to jam with him though.

I prefer jazz in small clubs but after Jack DeJohnette died last weekend, I decided to see Herbie Hancock while he's still performing. Also I found out Terrence Blanchard and Lionel Loucke are in the band so no-brainer.
