Thank goddess, the 349 houses that I collect money from are definitely not investments

This digital glass court at the Big 12 tournament is just awful and anyone that had any part in selecting it (or the design) should be sent to an eye doctor.

Professional Pokémon Hunter is a lot bigger than it used to be, I feel.

Yeah cause only one of the things is super cool.

As commissioner of basketball, I would issue an emergency action that strikes all statistics from the record books for yesterday’s Heat-Wizards farce except for the Heat’s win.

I would also destroy any recordings of the game from the archives.

Blatantly anti-basketball.

It’s New @capmetroatx.bsky.social Bike Shelter Card Day here at Casa Tony.

$3 every two years is a heck of a deal.

While it’s easy to make a joke about Polymarket here, let’s not dismiss the absolute insanity that is people betting on cards in Major League Soccer games officiated by PRO.

Higher chance a car goes flying onto the Capitol grounds like a Jan 6er than seeing an overtake.

Usually when it’s that one-sided, Vancouver is hosting a playoff game at Providence Park.

I would have really liked to see that game 11v11 because I think it would have been super entertaining.

We seemed to have actual intent going forward and it was stymied by The Incident.

And neither of them is what the Laws of the Game say. In pretty clear text.

If Dani gets this call, then hell has frozen over. And PRO would still be using the wrong justification for the red card.

Also not the rule if it’s the call I am thinking of - if the contact is deliberate, the only way it is not a red card is if they deem the contact negligible.

Serious foul play is not part of the rule for contact with the head or face.

None of those conditions you listed are red card offenses unless reckless is deemed to have endangered the safety of an opponent.

And none of those are what PRO is claiming here.

That’s not the IFAB rule! If we’re just making things up, fine, but the force must be deemed excessive to be a red card sending off according to the Laws.

Even with a generous interpretation of the incident, it wouldn’t be a clear and obvious error for VAR if anyone at PRO actually knew the rules.

When I think of Inter Miami I definitely think of compassion so let’s roll with it

Except it couldn’t as he never made solid contact with the ankle because the Charlotte player’s ankle came in late and Biro pretty clearly did not apply force.

It does not meet the excessive force clause in the serious foul play rule.

If Austin advances in the Leagues Cup, it’s insanity:

1. 8/1 MLS @COL
2. 8/6 LC @Q2
3. 8/9 LC @Q2
4. 8/13 LC @Q2
5. 8/15 MLS @Q2
6. 8/19 MLS @SEA
7. 8/22 MLS @Q2
8. 8/25-27 LC Quarter
9. 8/29 MLS @Q2
10. 9/1-2 LC Semi
11. 9/5 MLS @Q2
12. 9/9 MLS @Q2
13. 9/13 @VAN

6 straight multi game weeks

Kind of expected when FIFA gives the tournament to the network with the least year-round investment in the sport overall, right?

NBC: Premier League
CBS: Champions League, NWSL, USL
ABC/ESPN: NWSL, La Liga, Bundesliga

FOX: Occasional MLS and Liga MX, CONCACAF, Euros

Threatening to withhold pay and benefits if you don’t cross a picket line would be more effective if said pay and benefits weren’t so low.

Austin has:
Saturday at Colorado
Thursday vs Tijuana
Sunday vs Puebla
Thursday vs Club America
Saturday(!) vs FC Dallas

It’ll be way worse for Dallas:

Saturday at Galaxy
Wednesday vs Queretaro somewhere TBD in US
Saturday vs Chivas somewhere TBD in US
Wednesday *at* Toluca
Saturday at Q2

Five home games in fifteen days for Don Garber’s Vanity Project With Liga MX (aka the Leagues Cup) is going to be a great way to:

a) Have a boatload of injured players
b) End up with mostly NEXT Pro rosters
c) Make fans and supporters be exhausted and result in subdued atmospheres

A Kennedy meeting misfortune in Massachusetts seems to be a fairly standard plot.

What does this mean, nerd boy, you may ask?

Travis County is about 2/3rds the size of Dallas County.

Travis County not only offset Crockett’s margin in her home county, it actually gave him a nearly 30k vote cushion to use elsewhere.
