there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

So far, the new #USMNT three-back system seems to have Tim Ream, Chris Richards, and a question mark.

I'm not the only journalist at camp wondering if Mark McKenzie might be the answer.

I asked the former Union centerback about that and more:

The USMNT’s new playing style could give Mark McKenzie a big opportunity

The former Union centerback seems an ideal fit for the three-back defense that Mauricio Pochettino is testing. This month's games vs. Ecuador and Australia offer the chance to make an impression.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

This is (part of) how you make the Open Cup a big deal. By treating it...like a big deal. Lots of respect to Nashville SC for this.

On Sunday, Nashville SC presented the first championship trophy in the city's history to a crowd of nearly 4,000 fans, a milestone moment for the club and the sport of soccer in Tennessee.

I know it will once again shock you that I sat down with Brenden Aaronson today.

We talked about the #USMNT, Leeds, and the criticisms he gets from both fan bases.

But there are also plenty of people who think there's a place for him:

www.inquirer.com/soccer/brend... via @phillysport.bsky.social

Brenden Aaronson missed last month’s USMNT games. He hopes to make an impression this time.

The Medford native has critics among fans of the U.S. national team and his club, the English Premier League's Leeds United. But plenty of people see the roles he could play for both.

listening to @soccerwisehq.bsky.social about the shield, and Gass said Holden Trent died from a car accident. Is that true? I didn’t think they ever announced what happened. Like it was very specifically never mentioned. Was that just Gass misremembering? #doop

They specifically ~don't~ respect the concerns this decision may raise

Dynamic Pricing is not designed to ever sell out any stadium

By the time prices drop down enough to be affordable for the people that would have made it a sold out game it's already to late

There will be swaths of empty seats at every game - including the Final
