Arthur Blank probably could have saved about $20 million on an #NWSL club if he had called Steve Malik first.

I know that #Duke Basketball would never do Shane Battier dirty like that, but part of me really wishes that the Boozer twins' numbers were 31 & 21.
And if you understand that reference, we should be friends.

This is absurd. You don't build momentum by disappearing for a year.
Sources: North Carolina FC has applied for membership to USL's new D1 league, which is set to start in 2028.
NCFC's USL membership expires after this season. So club's plan is to wait to return until D1 league starts (with pro/rel).
No guarantee they get membership, but that's the plan

The moral of the story: If you plan to be someone, be prepared to be that someone for the rest of your life. This guy, for example, will be the "DUMP 61 HERE" guy *forever*.
But more importantly, be prepared. This guy sure was.

Cal hitting his 61st HR to a guy wearing a "Dump 61 Here" shirt and then the guy immediately taking off his shirt to reveal a "Dump 62 Here" shirt is the most perfect thing I've ever seen.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I'm going to need someone to make a GIF of Bubba Chandler's reaction to getting rung up like this.

If Bond gets another reboot, the films or series should be faithful recreations of Ian Fleming's novels -- hardcore spy thrillers set in the 1950s, full of actual Nazis, and not afraid to show Bond's sexism and racism as it was originally written.
What is your most controversial James Bond opinion?

Today, @nccourage.com put on a masterclass in how NOT to hold a press conference.
If Sean Nahas was really fired because of the team's inconsistent and directionless play, as @jeffkassouf.bsky.social reported for ESPN, why refuse to answer questions and invite so much dubious speculation? #NWSL

Watching the NC Courage presser re: the Sean Nahas firing and WOOF. I sure hope there's a very, very good reason for the lack of transparency (i.e. player protection) and that more information is to come. Knowing this league's history, the NWSL cannot abide by these vagaries.

Sometimes, a little thing gets stuck in your head and stays there for life, even if you don't remember it until someone involved passes. This was one of those things for me. If anyone kept the actual video of Vin Scully saying this over that double-play replay, please share.
