I love rugby, cricket, and soccer. My music tastes are obscure (somewhat niche and mostly outdated).

The Ashes really are a fitting name.

Poor England. We hardly knew you.

England scored 286 in the first innings, and Australia now hold a 286 lead thus far in the second innings.

Rather grim for the poms.

Stokes and Archer are desperately trying to give England a sliver of hope.

If they can head into the 2nd innings only trailing by seventy or so, then they might survive.

Doubtful.

I feel like English cricket, as a whole, has not recovered since Conway and Ravindra punched them in the face repeatedly in the last World Cup.

England are in dire straights.

This could very well be another four day win for Australia.

England aren't exactly doing so hot in this 2025 version of the Ashes.

A home ground hundred for Alex Carey in Adelaide!

It’s his third in Test cricket and his first in the Ashes 🙌

I want to throw a little humour in with all the anger and grief that the Oz are feeling.

Ahmed al-Ahmed is most likely Muslim, but the overwhelming response has been that he will never have to pay for another pint again.

Which is incredibly sweet and extremely Australian, but I find it hilarious.

This is an excellent result for the sport in Scotland.

Celtic are my favourite club in the Scottish Prem, but this is a good thing in the larger picture.

Well done St. Mirren.

Congratulations, and I hope we see other non old firm clubs win more trophies soon.

Let's talk about #TLfC new announcement quick.

At my son's hockey tournament this weekend I met another dad, from Calgary, that plays for a semi-pro hockey team in Colorado on the weekends.

Works through the week, and then the team flies him down.

The CHL (WHL, OHL, and QMJHL) are all semi-pro.

Australia are going to score five hundred in the first inning aren't they?

#Ashes #Ashes2025

Count that as five Aussie batsmen that have earned a half century this inning.

They are absolutely punishing the English bowlers.

#Ashes #Ashes2025

So far four of Australia's batsmen have scored over sixty runs in this inning.

The other wickets should fall soon enough, but that is significant damage for the English to deal with.

Hey @brockmon.bsky.social,

Also, Sixpence hit a Billion with Kiss Me a long time ago.

Why are Christians so lazy in their statements? Is lying just to fit a narrative the main pastime of Christians now?

I'm tired bro.

No far right grift is too far for the huns.

At least it just a banner this time and not making monkey noises at black players again.
It really is mad how mental Glasgow Rangers are.

Root had an amazing inning, but Archer was batting incredibly as lower order nightwatchman (batter #10).

Those extra forty+ runs that Root and Archer batted will be critical in this test.
