Very excited about this. Miggy’s first stint in Atlanta made him one of my favorite players in the sport. Works hard on both sides of the ball, always smiling, scores some wonder goals.
Miggy is back. Atlanta United is back.

I think the NBA Cup is good and better than not having it.
But I think the neutral venue kills the vibe of the final. Could get a “playoff atmosphere” at a home arena instead of the Vegas crowd.

I can’t fathom why Soto (or anyone) is getting close to Shohei money. Shohei is two players in one roster spot, that kind of value can’t be matched.
Juan Soto sweepstakes expected to hit $700 million with five teams still in free agent frenzy HERE:

At least four teams — Mets, Yankees, Red Sox and Blue Jays — are thought to be at least in range of that record MLB figure, previously attained by only international superstar Shohei Ohtani.

I have to admit, I was not for playoff expansion at all. For the purpose of crowning a champion, top four seemed like enough.
But there are so many intriguing storylines here. Including more teams is more fun and less damaging to regular season stakes than I thought it would be.

Following RIFC has been so fun this year. Slow start but they have become one of the best teams in the league, and they walk the walk when it comes to community connection. Our little state has a gem of a soccer team. Thanks for shining a light on USL @usltactics.bsky.social
