You are thinking of the Rams, who in 2005 were still in St. Louis. The Chargers were indeed in San Diego and the Raiders were still in Oakland!

I don't know how far I'll get with this, but I'll at least try to have a Simpsons moment for every day of the Women's Asian Cup. Here is Day One. #WAC2026

Curious about how you've put this together - we really need something similar to collate Japanese soccer coverage.

And there are explicit mentions in the files to students at Bard High School Early College (BHSEC), a similar-but-different program that was also for minors.

As is tradition now, a new #JLeague stats report for the 2025 season. Interesting focus on players with JStats & SkillCorner data for Ota Yamamoto, Keito Kumashiro, Koshiro Sumi, Rion Ichihara, among others.

i'm a big fan of magazines, investigative reporting, and longform, all of which requires staff and institutions, but the really really dire thing that indie media can't replace? the fucking wire services

The Japan Football Association just announced that Japan’s pre-World Cup training camp will be at Tigres Training Center in Monterrey, Mexico, while their base camp during the tournament will be Nashville SC’s training center in Tennessee.

Fs in the chat for beat writers who have to manage that.

What’s your elevator pitch on the Art Institute? I know Chicago has great art museums, I’m just not super familiar with their selling points.

Chicago! In less than one month I will be visiting for the first time on the way to Adepticon.

I’ve got an eye on the 3/23 Bulls game depending on how much jet lag is kicking my ass, but beyond that I seek your wisdom and hot tips viz. food, museums and daytime solo tourist adventures.

The one tourist rube thing I have 100% planned is the cake shake from Portillos, because YouTube showed me a video about it during the pandemic and it has lived rent-free in my head ever since.
