“Maybe this weight was a gift
Like I had to see what I could lift”

NBC Sports Soccer. FC Buffalo. 1 of 5.
Pretty relatable 'at home' megastar injury here.

Who hasn't stubbed a pinky toe on a door at home?

Cole Palmer injury news -- Chelsea star set for new lay-off after stubbing toe at home
Cole Palmer was set to return to Chelsea for their 7:30am ET visit to Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday but the 23-year-old's house had other ideas.

Instead of a Sabres Sicko meetup, we should all do an FC Buffalo home game meetup next summer and support a team who actually cares about it's fans.

Sometimes they have a men's and woman's double header day and I'd highly recommend that!
Once more, with feeeeling 🔵🟡🦬

Support #Buffalo's top men's and women's club in USL2 & USL@ in 2026.

Season tickets are in early & start shipping TODAY! --> fcbuffalostore.com/shop

Thanks WGR for talking #USMNT with me.

Couple recent posts for those interested ahead of the #WorldCup

Who will make the #USMNT's World Cup squad?: nbcsports.com/soccer/news/...

Pochettino fill the hope tank for long-suffering USMNT fans: www.nbcsports.com/soccer/news/...
Who will make the USMNT's 2026 World Cup roster? Mauricio Pochettino's good headache
Cardoso or Roldan? Pepi or Agyemang? Scally or Trusty? McKennie or Berhalter? Mauricio Pochettino is going to have a lot of trouble choosing who makes the cut in his squad for the 2026 World Cup.

Clearly U.S. Soccer saw a soothsayer a few years ago who said "Berhalter will win you the World Cup" and they just totally slept on it being his son.

Todd Bowles always looks like he's trying to stifle a laugh in a meeting where you're suppoed to be quiet.

This morning, to the tune of "Big Poppa" I was randomly singing, "I love it when the Sabres aren't aw-ful."

Heady times.

Lots of people saying Shane Doan has the best NHL career EVER of any Doan outside of the Jets/Coyotes franchise.

Is there any logical reason people post 180-degree flipped selfies/photos?

Honest curiosity here. Whatever perceived improvement there is, it can't be worse than the lettering on your shirt/hat/tattoo being backward.

WTF are Arsenal complaining about. It's the definition of a save.

When Haaland started that run at midfield it already felt like a goal. What a player. #MCFC

Anthony Gordon misses an absolute sitter and I want to send Eddie Howe to the moon.

What a play by Elanga.

How worried should the #USMNT be about Mauricio Pochettino's team nine months prior to the World Cup on home soil?

www.nbcsports.com/soccer/news/...
Mauricio Pochettino cannot waste any more time on major experiments for this USMNT ahead of World Cup
There's a home World Cup coming up in nine months, the talent in the pool is arguably as good as ever, and the USMNT's hope tank feels pretty low right now, doesn't it?

Been almost a year since #USMNT played a game outside of the US, and they are 7W-1D-5L (about to be six)

They've beaten Venezuela, Costa Rica, Jamaica, T&T, Saudi Arabia, Haiti, Guatemala.

Lost to Panama, Canada, Turkiye, Swiss, Mexico (soon South Korea)

Find the good win.

The Deftones formed in 1988.

It's 2025 and this new record is a masterwork.

Bands like this evolving and lasting 37 years is bonkers.

Is it Sept. 1 at the arena yet?

Rest in peace to a great entertainer, the Tiny Tot of the Kilowatt, Art Wander. I spent 100s of hours as a kid listening to him on WGR and there's no question he made me want to do the job.

I got to meet and thank him exactly once and I'll always be grateful for that. What a #Buffalo legend.

The Women's EURO Final through 30 minutes has been everything you want in a match.

And Spain's goal was pinpoint and pretty.

One year til the World Cup, and I wrote some things about the U.S. men's national soccer team, which needs to sort out its self-perception.
