Also I saw someone complaining about the league not announcing this prior to a team using the rule. It's in the CBA, which has been publicly available for months now, and in the 2025 Competition Manual (i.e., it's been available at least since the beginning of the 2025 season)
*basically just a league minimum contract with no team bonuses allowed. Teams can sign up to 4 each year

So does the fact that Moriya was signed to a Salary Cap Exempt Contract* mean Utah will otherwise be pushing the salary cap this year? And if so, does that mean they have some big signings coming, or maybe the upcoming extensions were, uh, large?

Any time I watch BYU play any sport on ESPN, it is weird how much the announcers love to talk about how great BYU is, no matter what is happening in the game.
Example: Right now where they're down 6-0 to Stanford and they've spent about 2/3 of the time talking about BYU

Rose's game winner is a perfect example of how meaningless xG can be without context. Her shot had .09 xG, which means of all shots from that position, only 9% score. But I guaran-fucking-tee you Spirit ran drills specifically to prevent Rose (or Jaedyn, tbh) having that exact shot

JCA knew he could keep Reale on because the ref would give her a warning before tossing her, and then immediately went to Bruninha as soon as Reale got the warning. Honestly brilliant move. Refs HATE giving second yellows, especially for technical fouls. Which is stupid but JCA played it brilliantly

Fucking finally a yellow for Orlando. I'm about as neutral in this match as I get, but that should've been the 4th yellow on Pride players

I saw 4 handballs not get called on Portland today. I think Portland earned this win, but I also think San Diego has reason to be furious

Coaching to win a championship is different than coaching to win the most matches or to secure the shield the earliest, or, hell, to secure the shield at all. If everyone else is coaching for the first and you're coaching for one of the others, yeah, you might be REALLY successful

In other news, I was told by Portland fans that I was unfair for saying Tordin deserved to go somewhere she would be properly utilized.
