Jurgen Klopp loves life after coaching, doesn't plan on coming back: 'I miss nothing, I enjoy what I'm doing'
Klopp, now the head of global soccer at Red Bull, has a job that satisfies his coaching itch -- without the pressures of bearing '1,000% responsibility' for results
www.cbssports.com
sat down with Jurgen Klopp for 45 minutes as he told me about why he doesn’t miss coaching at all, work-life balance, why a Saturday in Central Park is better than a loss at Selhurst Park and more
a lot of great nuggets in this one, I highly recommend reading it

not that Thomas Frank has done himself a single favor since taking the Tottenham job, but it really is remarkable to see the impact several years of poor squad building can have on a good team - there's not a lot this team does well and there are very few redeeming qualities

don't know if this is the norm for ice dance but I will say that I really enjoyed the banishment of wordless, indistinguishable ballads in today's qualifiers

Did the IOC decide it was Throwback Night or something?

the curling mixed doubles semifinal had everything — suspense, drama, a heart rate monitor on an athlete’s family member for broadcast purposes, the commentators basically saying the pro-Italy crowd had no clue what they were cheering for

We need a “how they did it” interview with the lead cameraman and planners behind this halftime show ASAP. That was one of the most impressive logistical accomplishments I’ve ever seen

Crowd volume turned down and the announcers talking over the United States team during the whole walk-in, but there were definitely some audible boos from the crowd at the San Siro.
Points of fact.

I find it so fascinating that someone from outside the U.S. feels so comfortable talking about this than the many American athletes who have (disappointingly) opted out of saying anything at all (even if Pep Guardiola is the exception rather than the rule)
Pep Guardiola used a news conference to speak out on a range of humanitarian issues, including calling the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by U.S. federal agents indefensible and again expressing his support for Palestinians.

Notable bits from this email:
- WaPo search has declined by half in three years
- Daily story output has "substantially fallen" in the last five years
- Murray argues: "we too often write from one perspective, for one slice of the audience."

Crestfallen and f$&@ furious about the closure as we know it of @postsports.bsky.social by an indifferent, compromised owner and a failing publisher — a dept of Povich and Boswell, Wilbon and Kornheiser, Gildea and Sheinin, of poets, authors, Hall of Famers and Pulitzer finalists. A terrible day.
