Berman extension is a reminder that most NWSL ownership is happy to use her as a shield for criticism.

Revenue is up, facilities are being built, that’s all that really matters no matter how out of touch Berman has appeared since the leadership shake up this spring.

DnD beyond doing a collab with stranger things in 2025 is very funny because I stopped watching years ago and even I know that the guy they’re basing this around is dead

The athletics transition from a pay to read site featuring the very best sports writers to a pay to read site that now acts and reads like a clickbait site but still charges you has been predictable but disappointing. Anyway if you want to have good writing on your site hire Jeff

Some personal news: today is my final day at The Athletic, ending a 6+ year tenure on its staff.

Immensely fortunate to have covered this sport alongside some of the finest writers and editors in the industry. Will keep you posted as I figure out what’s next for my work!

Nobody else in American soccer media has Jeff’s range: writing and podcasting, local beat and national punditry, clubs and USMNT, reporting and analysis, data and takes, box throw propaganda and a mean Blue Monday karaoke at Ego’s. We’re lucky to have him around the game

Jeff is an OG on The Athletic Soccer team, helped build the vertical into what it is and did a ton of great work in his six-plus years with us.

Know he's going to continue to crush it with coverage in the years to come.

Losing Maurer and Rueter in the same year is so so bad for The Athletic

pretty stupid for the athletic to try and cover a whole ass home world cup without some of the writers they've let go

I had never been more confident that a player with a bad draft grade would be a great NFL player than with Cam Scattabo

xDAWG was always off the charts

there is no explanation for this player being a 4th round pick other than him being kind of silly looking. his ability to do…. whatever the fuck this is…. is beyond special
