I hope he has a great career. I hope he turns his trajectory around and plays at a high level for the next decade. And I hope that earns him a spot on the USMNT and I hope he scores huge goals for us. But what he is right now doesn’t belong on a roster.

Part of what makes soccer great is that it’s not entirely quantifiable so you can still have opinions. And young Gio was an aesthetes DREAM. The kind of player we NEVER have. He’s not that anymore. He can play exactly one role and it’s a role almost no one plays or accommodates in the modern game.

You wanna say you’d take him over Roldan? Fine. But there’s no universe in which he deserves a spot over even someone like Zendejas, who does it week in and week out in an absolute pressure cooker of a club.

The last time Gio Reyna was a consistently useful soccer player the girls I coach at u9 were four years old. I don’t care how sullen he is. I think you have to earn a spot on a national team and occasionally playing 12 minutes for the worst team in the Bundesliga ain’t that.

There IS a Gio derangement syndrome. It’s the idea that coach after coach can look at this kid and find his game wanting, but American capital-B Ball Knowers know best.

The “you don’t know ball if you don’t see why Gio is good” from @scuffedpod.bsky.social is wild. How many immobile, one-note midfielders who can’t press are succeeding in the modern game? We all wanted him to be great. But he’s dollar store Adel Taarabt.

Overpaying a guy who has been on 6 mlb teams because he had an anomalous hot run after the trade deadline is the kind of stuff loser franchises do.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Have we discussed how much Matt Rhule looks like a Criminal Intent episode where Bobby Goren goes undercover as a college football coach?

I am not a crackpot

Matt Rhule yelling like he caught the kicker who did the murdering on an episode of criminal intent

I’m clearly super fucking manic tonight, and let me tell you brother, it’s a natural side effect of working in tech at this particular moment in time!

According to that commercial, ChatGPT is recommending a garlic-heavy recipe for a first date. Truth in advertising.

Every time I hear Idris Elba talk and it doesn’t sound like Stringer Bell it breaks my brain a bit.

Gio Reyna has two more yellow cards than he does G+A in the last three seasons.
