I think @benwright.bsky.social has a local MLS coverage starter pack? I don’t want to just start listing folks b/c I’m afraid to leave someone out.
For USL, start with @njemurray.bsky.social & @usltactics.com and go in whatever direction they point you.

Do you have a good 'list' of the local people you follow for specific clubs/regions? I follow Greder and Marthaler for the Loons, but it's easy for substacks/blogs to slip under the radar, especially for USL stuff, which I'm just getting into. An archive of peeps of some sort would be helpful.
This was incredibly kind of Matt - @usltactics.com is much smarter than a yutz like me - so with much trepidation I've attempted to put together a starter pack of folks you can follow around the #USL ecosystem.
Let me know if you'd like to be added?

Back in the 'office' today after some time in the corner of Latin America.
January is one of the few times when my commissions are wide open, so hoping to speak w. editors/producers/brands/old pals about working together this year - whether it be a project in the U.S./Mexico or farther afield!

It was a rough few months at Leeds for American Brenden Aaronson, who was the subject of scathing online abuse.
But with a goal vs Manchester United on Sunday, he continued to win over Elland Road.
His story begins our USMNT weekend roundup:

Tom Brady's been listening to Devon Kerr on USL All Access.
Did Tom Brady just become the first NFL color commentator to ever use the phrase "piss missile" on national television?

Van Veen put together such a good run to end the first set and begin the second.
Now Littler's stretched his run to an even greater level, and van Veen can't find a response. #PDCDarts

Wanted to put the Darts on in the background while I banged out a quick newsletter and my writing has completely ground to a halt.
