Funny. I don't see soccer players disparaging football and baseball as soft sports because they don't require cardiovascular fitness to participate. I'd like to see this chump take a hit after running/sprinting for 45 straight minutes.
Jaxson Dart says the NFL ‘isn’t soccer’. The Giants need him to start acting like a quarterback
The rookie plays like a linebacker at quarterback. His reckless style is costing his teammates and coaches as well as himself

In 1970 5th-grade students at Hawthorne School in Beverly Hills were assigned to write a letter to someone they admired, asking them “What makes a good citizen?"
So 10yr old Joel Lipton wrote to Peanuts cartoonist CHARLES M. SCHULZ - born 103yrs ago today.
Joel got a reply.

Great convo about U.S. college soccer and the direction it may be going. Fall to Spring season would be rough for northern schools, otherwise, lots of good ideas (ProRel!?)
Also... great jersey on @charliedavies9.bsky.social

Does anyone have any experience with this board game?
Saw it on display at Soccer Post MKE and thought about picking it up. It looks very cool, but at $100+, I'd like some first-hand impressions..

I scrambled to buy one of the badass new black Spurs away jerseys with SON/7 on the back before his transfer to LAFC was official thinking it would be my last chance.
But, of course, they launch an entire Sonny storefront after he leaves.

only 75% to go
Tesla stock is down 25% so far this year after dipping 8% yesterday. It's become humiliating to drive a Tesla in LA, and he's getting his ass kicked by China. I love this journey for Elon because there's still so much lower the stock can go. I believe in us!

I was recently leaked a document that was written by and for think tank and DNC affiliated policy wonks and circulated in private chats. It describes in unsparing terms the threat Curtis Yarvin, Neoreactionary tech founders, and Elon Musk pose to democracy.
