So I guess a reintroduction is in order.

Hi! I’m Brian!

I’m an American who commentates Aussie Rules Football and cricket, but I follow most other sports and am a lifelong Philly sports fan.

I do freelance work and love popping into podcasts to chat, so if you think I can help, let me know!
I forgot to take a picture of my plate.

Suffice to say I ate way too much.

Post something random. No pressure from me.

I’m not sure why I felt the need to do a time lapse of me making cranberry sauce I liked making it and felt the need to share it with you. So here you go.

I use fresh ginger, the zest and juice from two oranges, 1.5 cups of sugar, and 3 or so cups of cranberries.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends.

If you are reading this, I’m thankful for you.

It’s time. 🎄

It’s entirely possible that it was a non-SoB member who bought the ticket from someone else.

There was also the partner of a STH, sitting behind us, at his first ever soccer game, yelling “CHECK HIS VISA” at NYCFC players. (He stopped after we said something).

I’m tired of this shit.

Alright, I never got an answer about this song. Anyone have any idea what it is?
@djrobertdrake.bsky.social Robert! Hi! I need a little help!

Do you recognize the song playing in this clip? It sounds like a Police song but I couldn’t find a match. The clip is from October 1985 if that helps.

Thank you!

The draw procedure for the Men's World Cup draw has been confirmed.

Like 2022, the pots are done by FIFA ranking, except for the three hosts in Pot 1, and the six placeholders in Pot 4.

New wrinkle: The top four teams must be in separate quadrants of the KO bracket, assuming they win their group:

Unlike previous Men's World Cups, venue assignments for each match will not be made until after the draw*.

This is important because three of Philly's five group match days are shared with MetLife Stadium.

That means that if a marquis draw comes up, they will probably be allocated to NY/NJ. 🙄

I’d love to be mad about the Union and the Eagles blowing a 21-point lead to the Cowboys but I totally forgot that I had played my 5yo school’s square game fundraiser and I ended up hitting for two quarters and that is a net positive for my mental health.

Happy Monday.

Not for nothing, but with the Eagles losing tonight, the Union had a great chance to jump up another notch amongst this city’s sports fans. Again, they let it slip.

So it’s NYCFC against Inter Miami in the Don Garber Wet Dream Bowl, sponsored by Trojan.

Hopefully he thrives with Freo. Either way, he deserves another chance in the AFL.

You haven’t lived until you’ve been at a soccer game where security guards are getting slapped like three rows from you how good

Ya gotta do it well…
You’ve gotta give the other fella HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”
