Even in its mostly retirement, Historic Crew Stadium is providing good fodder for bad stadium rendering analysis.

This reminded me I hadn't posted it in a while. FC Cincy can't keep getting away with it, can they?

Update: It is now the top story

The main newspaper in Nashville still doesn't have a beat reporter for Nashville SC, though.

Can I interest you in nothing on the front page of the local newspaper’s website and the 4th article on the sports page instead?

The US U-20s really let off the gas in the second half.

I contributed some stats to Mike's latest pot to show how #Crew96 turned from a pretty good team to a pretty bad team over the Summer.

I appreciate the clarity from the utility workers replacing the electric poles in my neighborhood.

I don't think there is anything you can really know until it gets finally published. At that point the link to the final paper will be included in the pre-print.

This is an example of one of mine:

It's actually microRNA that blocks the translation of mRNA into the mutated huntingtin protein delivered by an adenovirus.

A different and cool thing from the mRNA vaccines where the mRNA is directly delivered to a cell via a lipid nanoparticle and gets translated into a piece of viral protein.

Homegrown with Toronto. The Crew paid $50k for his homegrown rights IIRC.

Being homegrown also means he doesn't take up an international roster spot.

Nothing too surprising in the latest MLS roster release for #Crew96.

Nagbe was moved to TAM, as expected. Hererra's new loan still ends midseason.

The Crew are one of 3 teams with an empty international spot. They traded $200k GAM and a 2026 1st round pick to Colorado for one back in Feb.
