Gabby. She’s been consistently strong for several years and this year she took her game to another level

And off the pitch she always makes herself available and is a good mentor/support for other international players

Surprise I have to go Abiodun. I was at her first match at Audi and thought let's see how long it takes her to get comfortable, maybe Miura spells her early and Deb was like...

Got it. Thanks. So it's not a case then of folks aging out of the demo but still watching

it's a total household year to year comparison
December 5, 2025 at 3:00 PM
Are these total household ratings or inside a specific demo?

Generally, it would just be enlightening to learn how you watch the games. Especially in terms of then having to create a podcast around them.

I don’t know if it’s full episode worthy, but here’s a topic I would like for you to cover in the off-season: 

How many times do you watch the replay of a match before you record the episode, what do you watch for and in what order?

$1 million a year to keep Trinity Rodman in the NWSL is quite honestly an absolute bargain for the team and the league

I feel so alone in having ‘A Newport Christmas’ in my top 5

Time travel Hallmark Christmas movies win me over almost every time

I have not yet seen The Snow Must Go On. So maybe that will bump it off the top 5

Thank you! My youngest is a country music fan and I think she would enjoy some of these songs

Aside from the Brad Paisley songs from his new album, I wish I could easily find an accompanying playlist on Spotify

I definitely did not anticipate it

Overall movie was fine. I thought the 'we met, had a connection, didn't get each other's info & now are on a quest to find each other' was a more enjoyable journey with 'The Santa Summit'

Kris Polaha + Christmas Time Travel Movie = Television Magic

It was a pleasant movie

I had more fun though with a similar concept with 'The Santa Summit'

Also, first Christmas without their dad, little sister is getting engaged and there were times I felt he was being just selfish. Though I guess his perpetual selflessness was a bit of a theme

Aside from the Gainbridge players on loan, a key return for 2026 should be Andi Sullivan

I'm eager to see how Adrian plays his midfield with her return

Really have been looking forward to this, still plan to see it but yikes!

This is the one @sleepykittypaw.bsky.social loves. Above all others I believe

Best new Christmas movie of the year to date, and it’s not particularly close

I felt the same emotions. The last 20 minutes were special. But the rest of the movie fell flat

I didn't feel the chemistry of the leads nor really care if they got together.

I also think Google confused Chris Browns. It's not that Chris Brown, but the Bills radio voice

Relative to last year (and other recent years) I feel like this year's Hallmark slate has been overall underwhelming

Hal going down in the 73rd minute this championship reminded me of Tara going down in the 70th minute of last season's championship

Fortunately last year, Tara was able to return after a few minutes down

Unfortunately, the results were the same

This group therapy may have backfired on me 😂

Me on Sunday: Let's look at the big picture. Incredible run against multiple odds to make the championship again. And look at all the joy they brought the fans

Me on Monday after listening to the episode:
