Don't worry, Jessica Berman is ready with life lessons learned that will help. After all, Scalia joined in RBG's goals, right?

You can just call anything "security" nowadays.

I don't know whether "in the NWSL's discretion" just requires a majority of the Board of Governors, or more.

Clearly one owner should just buy a $1bn league sponsorship to juice the cap via revenue sharing.

Well that certainly could be a factor. One of multitudes, you might say.

Not really a rubyist (and it's not the key point of @filipamv.bsky.social), but here is a window into my brain.

Just in case anyone wanted to know why I picked up entirely unrelated hobbies like "writing 13,000 words on the Courage offseason".

Time to do that hockey.

Oof, someone at @northcarolinafc.bsky.social forgot to update the early interest form that the post-match surveys direct you to.

And there is Malik's plan laid out bare.

The stadium/real estate grifting will continue until morale improves.

I love small sample sizes.

Regardless, given the completely absent depth on the roster at fullback behind two 29-year-olds in Rauch and Williams, it's good to get some youth on board.

I know, I know. Two games left, they can still make the playoffs.

But still, spending time tonight getting a pre-write done on an offseason roster-recap-and-signing-target piece for the Courage.

Apropos of nothing.

"feneric"? i am definitely good at the typing. 🤦🏻

Anyway, here's a different banger from the piece:

Just read the whole damn thing that goes into the very depressing state of the numbers and the math that isn't mathing, but this is a very succinct representation of a specific type of feneric Executive (Dys)Function:

Yep, THE LOWDOWN is the good stuff.

Featuring Jeanne Tripplehorn as the Pioneer Woman. (Not really.) (But kinda.)

Last offseason they decided to turn over Narumi's role to a 19yo with all of 316 minutes played... and it worked.

Bonus vis that didn't make the cut: you can see how Shaw and Sanchez progress the ball more directly, while Manaka attacks at an angle (especially off the dribble).

Clear and smart from Mo on the larger context of @sepinwall.bsky.social being let go from Rolling Stone.
September 16, 2025 at 5:34 PM
wheeeeeeee

(Note that June 8th is when Nahas first went on leave, and August 2nd was his last game before his firing.)

Day drinking with the Courage.
Already booed Berman.

As the NC Courage post a teaser, hmmmmm....

You too can own a mug of a secondary character from a '00 USA TV series.

TBF, that's not a bad commute.
