Werner really is a winger. I'm sure RB would be tempted to play him up top, but his bread and butter is his decisionmaking and service from the wing. Good workrate too. Putting him closer to goal mutes his strengths and exacerbates his weaknesses

Someone on the other site asked me why I kept saying we would win something this year, last season. I read about Ange and his philosophy. I took the time. And now we’re Europa League champions

Unless you're a fan of a mega-successful club or a glory hunter, sports fandom is awful, a relentless slog of unhappiness and pain.

Until it isn't. 17 years is a long time to wait. I've been so patient. And that long, painful wait and all the near misses make days like today all the more sweet.

Ange's unreal second-season tradition continues and he has every right to be completely insufferable about it

If you are a Spurs fan you should be absolutely the most obnoxious celebrator anywhere today, you can and should pretend this was the only competition you played in this season. Leave the angst for the summer.

if they could legalize extermination camps they would

This is the hardest I’ve laughed in a long time.

there are people out there who really, truly can't wait to just "hop on a quick call". like, genuinely for the love of the game. and they have to be stopped.

I am more down on him after today (but still not Ange out) mostly because it was a continuation of the baffling move away from his principles. This was probably the last chance to see a return to Angeball with the first XI ahead of next Thurs. But yeah, this game can't be anyone's breaking point

Rick Pitino and the new kings of New York A native son who’s synonymous with both the city and the game has reclaimed attention in a city that doesn’t offer it easily.

Winning at Duke is great. Kansas? Really cool. Kentucky is Kentucky. On and on.

But St. John’s? When it comes to scale, and scope, and sheer voltage — winning at St. John's is different than winning anywhere in college basketball.

You had to be at MSG last night:

It is truly fucking wild how the introductory thesis of this argument is, "As we all know, men will find any loophole they can to be sex criminals and degenerates. My primary source on this is me, a degenerate."

Did Apple TV hire someone who doesn't know math to create its xG model? The numbers it shows on its #MLS broadcasts make no sense. Every SOT is like >0.5 xG 🤨

big couple of weeks for anyone who spent last year saying the dsa budget crisis was fake and the trump threat was real

Kadary read this at halftime

he is truly one of the very best

Scoop: Dems "pissed" at liberal groups MoveOn, Indivisible "I reject and resent the implication that congressional Democrats are simply standing by passively."

if Democrats think that moveon and indivisible are not doing the best job channeling the energy of the base in productive ways, they literally can Do Something about this and organize more productive actions for people to take www.axios.com/2025/02/12/d...

My jaw dropped and I wiped about a gallon of tears from my eyes

Most indubitably

Feels bad

Anyone who uses either is too cringe for me to exist in the same space as

Oh God, this is such heart shattering news. I appreciated Joe so much, not just for their measured analysis but for being an excellent human. They embodied so many of the ideals I want to teach my son. They were also just cool. And funny. So sad. Their suffering is ended, may they rest well.

Been appreciating your work on these days for years!

yeahhh I've been checking it less and less often too for the exact same reason. Just makes me feel bad. I think maybe the whole microblogging thing is just not for me

Same. I did a double take at my own slight "ah, rats" reaction to Sarr's goal

i think that @poetlorien.bsky.social's post about how Lakers fans just want basketball to be 10 guys in Lakers jerseys passing the ball to each other saying "Lakers" is a foundational document for understanding the NBA

Mikal Bridges got traded for four unprotected firsts, one top-4 protected first, and a pick swap!!!!

Pretty much! Players nowhere near his talent level and production and age regularly return multiple good draft picks! This makes NO SENSE

here's the thing: i can buy the Mavericks being ready to get out of the Luka business. conditioning, team-building, maybe he's a nightmare behind the scenes, he's gonna make a gazillion on his next deal, whatever. it's stupid but i buy it.

but for THAT return? nah.
