Late-game/-half letdown theme revisited: As Van and LAFC determine Loons’ playoff future, I’m thinking of two summer road games where 3 points turned to 1 with a pair of 90-min goals by the hosts: NYRB and Portland.

This has been decades in the making, but there was a time when MLB didn’t need all of these excuses, er, caveats when losing a ratings battle with…(checks notes)…a niche rodeo program.

PBR beats Yankees playoff audience with help from NFL lead-in

Professional Bull Riders had its most-watched event on record with a little help from its gridiron friends. Sunday’s PBR Teams event on CBS notched the most-watched audience in the history of PBR’s run on the network, averaging 2.71 million viewers. Notably, the event drew more viewers than Game 2 of the New York Yankees-Toronto Blue Read more...

I like to binge podcasts. How many eps in S2? What’s the rollout schedule?

Social media has enabled these losers so much. Normies are trying to have a laugh with far-flung folks they've never met, while this group is baking their lack of self-awareness and racism into a civil war over tips and grifts.

I bet the food is great there, too.

He’s had a few set-piece defensive yips, but overall, very good.

Ramsey also sports a t-shirt 🤢

Loons finished as needed. SKC played like a Wooden Spoon contender.

Dotson looks great, Fitz passes to Loons (!!!) in mop-up minutes. Markanich, Pereyra et al do the needed work pre-80. @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social

Unlucky for Duggan. Markanich unmarked again. Loons are flying.

SKC’s 17yo and the former Loon Toye look like they want to play tonight. Rest of them do not.

How does Markanich stroll on to the ball unmarked like that?!?! 🤷‍♂️ Dude has an eye for the goal on set pieces, but that was the easiest he’s scored.

Possession is fine, defense didn’t fall asleep. #MNUFC

More Fitz passes to…somewhere.
More great defending.
More offensive groans.
More set-piece brilliance.
Loons leave it late and escape, 1-0. #MNUFC

This is a drum I have been banging for a few years with those who do administration: the "blowback" you are getting about a particular online thing is often more perception than reality, and the more national that blowback is the more likely it is that it's an astroturfing campaign. ...

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."
