Love these vids and how they give a peek at the personalities of players and their relationships. BUT, I’d love @ussoccer.com to include names/clubs of who’s onscreen and not assume the viewer knows who each player is.

Out now! Your Football Friends dig into grief and how the team moves forward. Bob talks about his trip to GreenBay & how the Mavs/Nico story might be a lesson for Cowboys fans. Plus a preview of Monday's visit to Vegas. Link in bio.

The calendar flip is a long debated topic. But, word of a format in both regular season and playoffs is interesting. MLS could generate a LOT of interest if it integrated MLSNextPro's "Pick your Opponent" into any playoff format. US Sports Media and fans would gobble that up.

demo'ing City Hall would be our local gov't version of trading Luka.

New TMTP episode out now! The Musers tackle bucket lists; what’s on theirs, what they have already checked off, and how they differ from life goals. Out now wherever you listen to podcasts or use the link in the bio.

Attending every MLS Cup: The joys and rigors of honoring a pledge made in 1996 - Soccer America We had grown up in the gray days of American soccer. We followed the NASL until it folded, watched the Major Indoor Soccer League on USA Network, and kept up with college soccer

Our very own Andy Swift is about to attend his 30th consecutive MLSCup (yes, all of them). He's part of a very small and exclusive group, celebrating this milestone which will happen on 12/6. 🫡 very cool achievement for all involved! www.socceramerica.com/attending-ev...

Hey P1's - with the ongoing collision of Ticket programming obligations, the show has been 'on the bench' - so, because you want/need your soccer-talking, @peet2 & @larssivertsen.bsky.social rtsen combined forces to review the week's UCL fun & preview a bit of the PL weekend.

Black Rabbit (nflx) Most of the “Golden Age of TV” has been spent watching characters make bad decisions. This series not only sets the record for number of bad decisions, but stews in & is empowered by their juices. It helps, though, to like the antihero. Not here. (C)

Your Musers wrestle with AI intimacy, loneliness, frictionless living, and the future of human connection. Classic @gordonkeith.bsky.social unsettling George while @juniormiller.bsky.social subtly encourages it all. TMTP 20, out now & links are in the bio.

you've paid for it already, so if you have two hours to kill and the idea of a nuclear incident peeks your interest, at the worst you'll be unhappy with how it resolves itself.

House of Dynamite (nflx) - GenX already experienced 80’s Hollywood and culture's obsession with nuclear war ("Would you like to play a game?"). It’ll be interesting to see if this popular but poorly structured & frustratingly told movie starts another trend 40yrs later. (C+)

I’m almost certainly the ONLY person on Earth, who last night watched Bugonia and then the FCD playoff game - back to back. the more I think about it, the similarities between the two, are batshit wild.

"Sit back, dump it in behind and let Haaland fetch it"

Bugonia - Going in, I’d imagined an ending & turns out, it wasn’t close. Lanthimos menacingly slow-cooks the story of "Is Emma an alien" for 4/5ths of its run time & then violently spills it into an ending which hijacks your focus from Stone & Plemons’ great work to "what?" (B-)

Slow Horses S5 (tv) - You know a show is great when its new season is arguably its 'worst' and you still enjoy every minute. Sure, it’s full of Jackson Lamb clichés and once again we wonder how MI5’s doghouse saves the day. Like Roddy Ho, don’t care. (B+)

Invasion S3 (tv) - what began in S1 as a unique way to tell the story of aliens raiding Earth, by S3 has devolved into a mush of plot holes & clichés w/ zero payoff. Might hold record for most (clunky) single-teardrop speeches in tv history. bummer. (D)

Your Football Friends, return to talk 44-22 over Washington, hopeful signs from the defense, Dak on fire, Schotty, Diggs drama, Maxx rumors, SB12 memories and Georgie's Hot Fry PotW! - links in bio.

Task (HBO) - not a crime show as much a story about family; the nuclear, broken or biker gang kind. Also not exactly the story you’re probably expecting but as it oddly plays out, hits a range from dark to sweet. Tom Pelphrey & Emilia Jones
are great (A)

Frankly, my biggest takeaway from #FCDallas win in, and over, the @whitecapsfc.com is learning that they are managed by Steve Buscemi's brother. #MLS

Only twice have I ever cried during a live song performance, and once was D'Angelo's performance of "Sometimes It Snows in April" on The Tonight Show after Prince's death.

We had a lengthy and detailed breakdown discussion of this red card incident and why we believe Jair Marrufo made the decision he did, why VAR didn't do anything about it, and how Logan could have avoided the whole thing. overcast.fm/+AA8pcBFvK-Q...

Peacemaker S2 (HBO): It's a bummer that what should have stood as the funny, adult, self-aware and entertainingly silly, stand-alone series it was in S1 was shifted into a tool for moving forward Gunn's new DCU and, in turn, became a boring waste of time. (D)

what catagory did you buy?

If USMNT come in 2nd in their group, the R32 game they would play in would be July 3rd at "Dallas Stadium"..

Your Football Friends, JubJub & SportsSturm break down a gutsy Cowboys win, Dak’s comfort in Shotty’s offense, and an O-line full of backups bullying the Jets. Plus: the forgotten Cowboys Band & a look ahead to Carolina. Link in bio

From near-miss bike crashes, choking on hot dogs to a terrifying mid-air dive at 25K feet, the guys swap their wildest “I probably shouldn’t be here” tales. Equal parts harrowing & hilarious, it’s @juniormiller.bsky.social George Dunham @gordonkeith.bsky.social at their most mortal. Link in bio

My fav part is how with the move the team changed from referring to itself as Arlington Renegades to Dallas - despite now playing in Frisco (never in Dallas proper) - and you wonder if anyone even bothered to ask.

Tomorrow (Wednesdays), The Musers share tales of how each "cheated death" - Care to guess which one almost "by hot dog"? Link in bio and available wherever you listen to podcasts.
