Am I going to tear up at the 20 minute mark of every match this season? #LFC #diogo

With Gomez already nursing an injury and Konate's history the guy who's fine as the 5th may be needed as the 3rd.

Probably closer to ยฃ150 and I'm not ecstatic about the figure. I'm guessing LFC wouldn't consider sending Ekitike in a swap, but I saw some pundits floating Elliott and/or Nunez as possibilities. I might consider that.

I'm ecstatic over the prospect of Isak coming to #LFC, but is anyone else also feeling like they want won't be satisfied until we bring in 2 CBs?

One of the best keepers in the world who got Germany to the semifinals with quarterfinal heroics has a lapse in positional concentration in extra time.

The old Closed Circuit screening for boxing before Pay-Per-View became popular to watch at home. It made Ali-Frazier even bigger.

I know the Mamdani die hards wonโ€™t like it in NYC, but does Hakeem Jeffries need to run for president in 2028?

Dangerously close to some Herman Cain level policymaking

Thereโ€™s a scene in Hunt for Red October where Richard Jordan says the Russians have so many sonar buoys in the North Atlantic that he could walk to Greenland and to Iceland without getting wet.

That was Mamdani volunteers in my district.

I've lived across the street from a polling place since I moved to Harlem nearly a decade ago.

I've rarely, if ever, seen campaigning near it on voting days.

The other day, I couldn't walk half a block without running into a Mamdani volunteer.

His people are on the ground.

I really like ranked voting, but this makes me like it less.

Iโ€™m guessing this is going to be the highest rated Day 3 in recent NFL Draft history while Shedeur Sanders remains on the board. NFL will always see the bright side the drama creates. #nfldraft

@totalsoccershow.bsky.social the question on whether the USMNT can make the World Cup semifinal is moot since the USMNT made the first ever World Cup semifinals in 1930. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I can tell how bad this season has been for the New York Rangers not by just the standings but by how many times I commute home for work through Penn Station around 8:45 some evenings and more than a handful of Ranger-clad fans are already going home before the third period starts.

Some may be disappointed with The White Lotus season finale, but the 1923 series finale mostly lived up to what we could hope for with Spencer's homecoming.
