Making the whole plane out of dribbly bois... don't worry about how they get a ball to dribble, that's just nitpicking...

Son's introduction to MLS coming at the Chicago Fire's old stadium in a far flung suburb because Soldier Field has a Bears preseason game tomorrow is just perfect, no notes. The exact right amount of MLS charm that makes this league beautiful.

Liam Coen, you may want to keep the fair catch free kick play in your back pocket because if Cam Little can hit these...

I think he can honestly make one from 80, and the Jaguars play in Denver in December!

The Jaguars know how to draft punters and kickers, at least

When is the last time the Jags had a backup QB with an actual arm?

The throw to Strange was a quick progression, then a lot of zip on the ball in a tight window. Nice to see!

I think more people really need to discover the great meme potential that is Arsenal FanTV (before the brain rot sets in, you can't watch it for too long)

Crypto group claims responsibility for hurling sex toys at WNBA games A spokesman for the cryptocurrency meme coin creators told USA TODAY Sports they launched sex toys as a lighthearted joke.

The people behind the sex toys at WNBA games is an unlikely source: crypto traders.

USA TODAY tracked down the group and started with several questions, but perhaps most important:

WHY?

I was reading one of Alasdair Gold's many articles yesterday and Thomas Frank was basically saying he's frustrated with the lack of alignment in the transfer structure, and this is before Don Fabio talks to everyone in Europe on his 75 burner phones... but if it gets someone in the door...

There's something extremely charming about how most college football players are going to go pro in something other than sports and the chaos that brings. Bad NFL players are still pros at the end of the day.

Son Heung-min is Tottenham. Tottenham is Son Heung-min. Son’s 10-year Spurs career ended in Seoul this week, but it was in Bilbao in May that his embodiment of the club became complete

Does anyone else find it a bit morbid that Spurs' response to Son's send off and Maddison's knee exploding is to announce the signing of a player that most people didn't want? (This was obviously planned ahead of time but circumstance makes it weirder).

There was a NWSL game on the Daytona infield a few years ago! (No racing at the same time though)

If the NHL can't get Pitbull to do the Winter Classic in Miami and gets the Arkells for the 1,569th NHL event instead, we should protest.

β€˜They control everything’: How the Dallas Stars monopolized Texas youth hockey Ice is power in the lucrative world of youth hockey. In North Texas, the Dallas Stars hold almost all of it.

Unlike the NFL, NBA and MLB, a few NHL teams are intimately involved in running the youth levels of their sport.

In Dallas, the Stars spent decades turning youth hockey into a vehicle for profit, bullying families in the process.
