Maybe I'm misreading these comments from Re-CAP back in May—or maybe they were diplomatic, play-the-game comments—but they certainly sounded to me at the time like a player expressing that she was no longer capable of being a semi-regular, 60-90-minute NWSL starter.

"By the end of my season, I didn't know if I would even be able to play this year. And so where I am in year 15 is I do truly feel like it's a gift, like it's a miracle that I get to do what I love." "I know that there is frustration from the fans on me not playing as much, and me not being the same player that I was," Press said. "I want to say I will never be the same player that I was, but I am absolutely on a journey to be a player that is extraordinary and joyful and scoring and smiling," Press said. "I hope it can be a season, a journey that people relate to and are inspired by."

Right on time: an impending economic crisis arrives on our doorstep and the latest group of 20-somethings gets The Avocado Toast Treatment

About 87 percent of Gen Z — people between the ages of 18 to 28 — say they are willing to spend money on nonessential items, like streaming services, dining out, and fitness memberships, no matter the state of their finances, according to a new poll. The Harris Poll questioned 2,074 US adults for Intuit Credit Karma, a personal finance platform. The poll found that 74 percent of Gen Z-aged people said they were willing to cut back on non-essential spending if their financial situation worsened. That compares with 82 percent of millennials, 86 percent of Gen X, and 87 percent of baby boomers. At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending, according to a new study of more than 1,000 people done for Bank of America.

Always nice to hear from your ex
I’m at a party And we started playing a game where people put up a photo of someone they hooked up with and everyone had to guess I picked you, and everyone thought you were so pretty that you were AI. And I thought you would appreciate that

There's a rage living inside her that I don't often see in Hayes—at the very least, it doesn't manifest in the same way.

Also Hayes would never ever be close to accused of this

Also a blank space on the team's website that only seems to have been fixed today. (Still no mention of the coaching change on their website, either.)

Curt Johnson in The Athletic today:

"That’s how I live every day. There’s no tolerance for anyone who creates anything but an excellent environment for players, staff, fans, etc."

Also Curt Johnson, tolerating a great deal from Paul Riley in 2017 and 2019:
NCFC Chairman and Owner Steve Malik and NCFC President and General Manager Curt Johnson both contacted multiple sources, including representatives of the Thorns, WNY Flash, the League, and USSF. Through those communications, NCFC learned of an alleged incident in which Riley had players up to his apartment, where two women kissed. It does not appear that NCFC received a copy of the 2015 Thorns Report about Shim’s complaint, was fully informed of the substance of the report nor Shim’s complaint, or was clearly informed that Riley was terminated from the Thorns for cause. -74- NCFC was told that Riley’s conduct at the Thorns demonstrated “poor judgment,” but felt this did not counter the generally positive recommendations they received from both WNY Flash management and players, and, according to NCFC, the Thorns. He said he shared with Johnson that Kurtz mentioned Riley calling her chubby, and understood that Johnson would talk to Riley about his choice of words. Hammond acknowledged that he did not follow up with Kurtz after the call to share any steps that were being taken or to see if there had been any improvement in Riley’s behavior. Johnson reported 39 that Riley denied “weight-shaming” Kurtz, and Johnson told Riley that he should speak to players about “fitness,” not “weight.”

Ah, and also
In November 2021, a Business Insider exposé alleged that Portnoy had engaged in violent and aggressive sexual encounters with three women and that he had filmed the women without their consent. In February 2022, more sexual assault and harassment claims by young women were published in a second Business Insider article.

Oh cool! Anyway,
In fact, since splitting with Barstool in 2021, Cooper has remained friendly with Portnoy and Barstool, both publicly and professionally. In addition to having Portnoy appear on her podcast and join her for live tapings of the show as recently as last year, she has expressed gratitude to Portnoy for the career she has built. “The minute I sign a new deal, every time, I text Dave Portnoy a little thank-you,” she told the Hollywood Reporter last October. Cooper is also hiring Barstool employees to join her Unwell Network

Since 1997, something like this--open to an inflation-adjusted domestic $48 million+, drop 6% or less in the second weekend--has only happened 11 times, and only twice has it happened for a non-kids film or on a non-holiday weekend.
A table showing the weekends since 1997 in which a movie opened to an inflation-adjusted $48 million or more domestically, and dropped 6% or less in it second weekend. This has only happened 11 times, and nine of those times occurred either on a holiday weekend, were for a kids film, or both. Only THE SIXTH SENSE and SINNERS--as it happens, both horror movies directed by men of color--did it without those two caveats.

Bouncing off of @meglinehan.com's question to Mark Parsons & Julie Uhrman about gender disparity in #NWSL head coaching jobs, and Angel City's 50-50 gender parity in their HC candidate search:

2025 sports the lowest share of women head coaches in eight years.
