MLS conveniently has a place for you to give feedback on this. I encourage everyone to say something: www.mlssoccer.com/feedback/rec...

This is disgusting. MLS can’t even be bothered to pay someone to write basic match recaps? Unsurprising, but this really does suck so hard.

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.

Though I would like to eventually have just one week where I can shut down entirely and reset mentally and physically. Or have health insurance and be able to go to a doctor whenever I need it. One day.

I’ve been battling burnout for years now, and sometimes I feel like I’m barely hanging on for dear life. Got a message from an editor tonight that reminded me I’m good at what I do (no matter what I tell myself), and the work I put in is worth it.

If Jansson’s injury is serious, that’s likely the season for Orlando City. Hard to see how this team makes a deep run without its best defender.

A little Penguins/Orlando City double feature tonight

I unironically think Indiana is the best team in college football, or at the very least the best coached

Losing to Northwestern at home is 100% a fireable offense. Franklin should pack up his office before he heads home tonight.

Rocking the GOATed quad box today in the press box before the Orlando City game. Texas/Oklahoma, Oregon/Indiana, Penn State/Northwestern, and Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

I don’t know what the coaching staff saw in him, but Cam Fancher is not it.

Second book I finished today is “East of Eden” by John Steinbeck. An absolute banger, one of my new all-time favorites. Never going to see the name “Kate” the same way again.

5/5 stars

The first of two books I finished today, “The British Are Coming” by Rick Atkinson. Lots of great information, but pretty dry at times. Overall worth reading and I’ll be checking out the second part of the trilogy soon.

4/5 stars
