The first generation of post-Shaq Shaqs reaching grizzled vet status on teams isn't exactly making me feel young.

The most charitable logic:
1. because the dad is sitting in business, the FA looked at the manifest to greet him by name as he sat down.
2. the FA saw the dad watching NWSL and is such a ball knower that he connected the dots.
3. then he took a wildly unprofessional chance and got lucky.

Over the last 5 months, I've been working on building an app that allows *everyone* to generate data visualizations using ASA data. From match-level action plots to season-long radar charts, VizHub lets you download tons of different graphics with ease.

It's 100% free and public, too. Enjoy!

Love the ASA data but wish you had a helping hand in turning it into fancy plots and graphics?

Nate Gilman @nrgilman.bsky.social · Sep 15

an understatement to say this is awesome. @cata-bush.bsky.social absolutely crushed it.

You can find it at viz.americansocceranalysis.com or at the Viz Hub tab on the main site. Warning, it is not yet at all mobile friendly.

good for Miles. The big pieces of the 2026 roster are already looking pretty locked in. Albright going to have to find value on the edges.

🇺🇸 Contract details for Miles Robinson's extension with FC Cincinnati, per sources:

- Robinson will be a DP when deal starts in 2026 (and cannot be bought down during contract)
- Robinson will be the highest-paid CB in MLS, eclipsing Zimmerman's $3.47m deal
