ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

He's already reached out to Trump for a pardon.

Each stadium could be required to have a spotlight that illuminates the scorer and follows him around during his celebration...

George Costanza would be hot; someone stole ‘Seven.’ She’s a great soccer player TCU soccer player Seven Castain is a top Big 12 player, but she has no idea about the pop culture significance of her “Seinfeld” name.

Your parenthetical gets to the right answer: when the flick happened, Montes was onside. So when he made contact with Richards, it's no longer an offside player Interfering with his Opponent, to use the proper term. It's now a determination of whether an attacker committed a foul (holding) or not.

The 2025 MLS Regular Season is about 37.6% complete, but back when there were a *lot* fewer teams, there were a handful of seasons where 192 games made up the entirety of the slate.

Here are the stats from those 5 seasons. How things have changed.

Official Filip Dujic reflects on his viral 'However' call from last year and what it takes to get it right. #RefExcellence #Referee #MLS

SafeSport is underfunded, understaffed, and yet still overreaches into everything. Notably, it was also inadequately led. It can only get better from here. Replacing Colon is long overdue. The lawyers at USSF and elsewhere learned to exploit things to benefit their orgs.

Julio served as the longtime referee liaison for the LA Galaxy, while also holding that position for numerous friendlies and international tournaments. He was the winner of the inaugural Ernie Branco Liaison of the Year, which honors the people behind the scenes who help MLS officials on gameday.

31'- As much as the pandemonium would be fun, after a Yellow Card, it must be a ceremonial restart from the Referee. Everyone is allowed a brain fart, but yes, someone on the crew said something and gave the reminder.

On #internationalwomensday, we celebrate the progress over the last 10 years that has been made in the sport. Trailblazers of the past generations helped create opportunities for today's officials. We've all seen the results firsthand.

Former R here. Biden / Harris voter. My R party is gone, and they're terrible. I'm yearning for a D to come to the middle on common sense things so they can earn more than 46-47%. The refusal of Ds to acknowledge a cand who can do that is shocking. Less Bernie/Jayapal, more Newsom/Slotkin/Whitmer.

DOGE laid off Smoky The Bear because he was a probationary worker and now we're getting wildfire messages during major rain storms in Texas.

This is great. Even (especially?) if you're not a Morrissey fan. Read the quote and see if it's a Morrissey lyric or a Trump quote.

Offseason wasn't downtime for us! We have trained hard, studied the game, and sharpened our skills to ensure we're match-ready. Here's a glimpse into our journey from offseason to preseason. Let's kick off the #MLS season on February 22 with excellence!

Not a map, but here's a story from just down the road from you.

We need more of these stories. People who cheer the knee-jerk DOGE decisions are also the ones historically complaining about local projects not being completed. They cannot connect the dots. Give it time.

"following Bayern throughout the tournament and all the way to that final ... will cost one of their supporters between $1,939 and $4,300 across seven matches. If that same fan would rather watch Bayern play a Bundesliga home match at their Allianz Arena, they can do that for about 15 bucks."

Club World Cup ticket prices sky-high for global fans, normal for jaded U.S. market Prices have shifted beyond all recognition since 1994, when tickets to World Cup finals games in the United States could be bought for $25

Prices for Club World Cup matches this summer are eye-watering. It’s just FIFA’s latest grift, and things will only get more expensive for soccer fans in the United States.

From me, on @theathleticfc.bsky.social:

If you played an instrument back in high school and stopped: we are in a golden age of decent cheap instruments.

The guitars are better, the amps are better. The pedals are cheaper, the wind instruments are actually instruments and not just shaped like them, etc.

Rome, GA is my mom's hometown. Dozens of relatives there. Summer vacation road trips there as a kid. Been back many times as an adult. It has so much hope as a city, but the people of rural GA are now so caught up in their politics to stop and think about how government could work better for them.

"It's an old Air Force drone. It's solar cells can power an entire farm."

Throw some chords to it and you'd still need a ripping guitar solo to get it to a 4-minute pop song.

If you need a laugh today, my cat decided to share his work product with me.

The basic online info usually provided for guitars includes the specs on wood used, electronic parts, and even the tuners. A real guitar will have a minimum of about 15+ specs provided.

It will not surprise anyone that the Trump Guitar site has no specs listed.
