If anything, it’s harder to develop talent, because all the incentives push towards individual growth and away from team play. It also intensifies specialization, which reduces overall “sports literacy” and limits the level of play! A handful of kids get better but everybody else gets worse.

No no, Albuquerque is the correct answer

It is officially TSR Time at the Olympics

Talent is a spark. But you know what happens to a spark in a vacuum? Or a spark that lands on concrete? No fire.

It is a great blessing that hounds have equal capacity for lounging around as they do for doing crimes. They are perfect dogs.

I need a Muppet College Gameday where the only human is Saban.

As someone who works for a PBM… yeah. We knew.

Important reframe there with what it should be (although 150 is still too many)

Listening to podcasts is not praxis

FRAUDS CONFIRMED

More like Naz Bleed rn

I love it! As I do most of Chicago’s neighborhoods. But Evanston really loves *not* being a part of Chicago.

Evanston loves to pretend that in the absence of institutions like NU and its venues (which cause disruption a few weekends a year) it would be a Pleasantville suburb in real life, when in actuality it would be North Rogers Park

The turnaround smile is my favorite! My phone is full of these 😊

Minnesotan here. I've been told (and am inclined to believe) that this is actually the Minneapolis-adjacent suburb of Edina, a rich & posh city that many folks here make fun of for being pompous yuppie pricks. You know it's bad for ICE when Edina's got fighting words for these bozos.

There it is

You see what happens when you let Tacos into your life?

Trapped on a plane and watching this game in the air has been a blessing after many delays let me tell you

Threw a football in 2nd grade gym, followed through with a little too much mustard. Jammed my middle finger into my calf, fracturing it.

RIPTKOE, the best worst excuse for a college bar

I’ll be shocked if Kwesi keeps his job this summer between this and the JJ debacle

Any time you can hire the worst OC in FBS away from his current school you have to do it

Sister moved there last year, I’m still in MN. She’s banned from sharing weather reports this time of year.

Yeah we saw what Doctor Doctor Willard Bliss did to Garfield

(TY @janecoaston.bsky.social for the fun facts I got to drop on my bf watching death by lightning)

I got turned down from a pre-k at age 4 despite being fully able to read because I “didn’t speak in the interview” (on purpose) and “clearly wasn’t ready for a school environment” (it was for the best)

If Toto toilets don’t need WiFi to give me the best “end to end” experience out there, it’s not necessary!
