A lot of positives but still not enough to get a win at City. Inspires some hope for the FA Cup match, though.

Iโ€™m no expert but I suggest we start marking that guy

A GOAL! AT CITY! LFG!

Last three matches. Injuries to Bruno and Joelinton forced him to shake up the lineup.

โ€˜Mon Newcastle. I donโ€™t expect a win but scoring there would be a nice change.

Aw man, tough loss for the USA. Smallest margins decide it.

Tabitha Peterson with a clutch throw to score two in the 9th end. Sheโ€™s had some fantastic ones today. Onto the 10th.

Some would say that this and the open defiance of the Supreme Court tariff ruling would constitute a constitutional crisis but I guess thatโ€™s for historians to decide.

Still seeking a legal and actual US Attorney for our Eastern District of Virginia if you know anyone

Nailed it. Could absolutely see Jerry rocking a Sharks Burns sweater. A beautiful sight.

Jerry would have loved Celebrini

Agreed, but, thank you both for inspiring the thought of Garcia at a Sharks fan if he had lived. Like, a senior Jerry being interviewed by Emily Kaplan about Joe Thornton? Incredible.

They look more colorful than his typical 2- or 3-color block printing technique. Really nice. And I love his color choices. He trends out of the box on that imo in a way I personally donโ€™t always love.

That was so fun. On to Canada. Get your local sports bar to open early on Sunday. Letโ€™s go nuts.

Only a week until I hate 95% of these dudes again, but today? Today is fun.

Suffocating defense on the kill. Really strong play for the USA today.

Heโ€™s nearly got Charaโ€™s size but with better handle and a forwardโ€™s mindset. So impressive.

Weak call on McAvoy, who is a prince and would never commit a deliberate penalty
