Sark bails on the postgame interview with Holly Rowe who is not amused
Arch Manning just has those freeze moments where he takes a sack… you gotta let that ball rip son.
Thankfully, the Border War drama is over (not really) and the game has been played. #Mizzou had the last word on the field for the fifth straight meeting. Some grades from last night’s emotional extravaganza. www.kansascity.com/sports/colle...

yung samba beat yung beans in stoppage time with a little razzle dazzle
Stetson Bennett throws in Week 1. What a season we’re about to have.
What do ya know, the team that’s been in Australia for a week is thriving… and the team that just showed up is behind.
No, this does not mean they are selling the Current. As far as I can find, nothing KC Current or even HB Koge related is within those assets. But it does mean the Longs stand to make a ton of money off the sale.
Bloomberg reported that the Long family is planning to sell Palmer Square Capital Management, which manages $37 billion in assets. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Husband and Wife Plan Sale of $37 Billion Credit Firm Palmer Square
Palmer Square Capital Management, a $37 billion credit firm run by a husband-wife duo, is exploring a sale of the business.

An “unusual hip strain” is an injury normally reserved for the Chargers
Pelissero: Sam Darnold believed to have suffered "unusual muscle strain in hip area;" IR isn't currently under consideration.
. @kgier.bsky.social, KC Soccer Journal's Thad Bell and KCC Radio's Jillian Carroll also rounded out the media at today's presser. As one of the few full-time media members consistently covering the team, always pleased when others who do it simply for the love can come out during the week.
Thank you Thom and PJ for your questions today. @bypjgreen.bsky.social much appreciated 🫶🏻
Good to see @thombomb816.bsky.social get shout outs on Attacking Third today for some damn good coverage of the Vlatko situation and talking with KC Current players. Damn good journalism.
Asked Chris Armas about the health of the backline. He confirmed that both Laney Rouse and Elizabeth Ball will be available for tomorrow. He did, however, confirm that Gabrielle Robinson will be out.
“For the players which I will always represent the best I can, over these two years I think we over accomplished our goals minus lifting that final big trophy with Vlatko. People don’t see the conversations behind the scenes” -LaBonta (? from @bypjgreen.bsky.social)
“Asked Lo’eau LaBonta about the matchup/rivalry between Current and Pride. She talked about the difficulty in a team having a new coach and shouted out Yolanda Thomas for being the first Black women coach in NWSL. Says that both teams play their best in this matchup and hope Current come out w/ win
Oh that was a beautiful toe tap pick Josh Jobe. Defense is Seattle’s strength, causing problems for Drake Maye again. Does their job to help Drew Lock step in and lead them to a 13-10 win to open the season. The drama of the NFL is in full effect. Prime football season now.
Easiest thing to do, throw the ball to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. #Seahawks are alive in the fourth. First Seattle passing TD of the season to Drew Lock. Who would’ve thought.
The best part about the NFL, they don’t play about halftime. The clock is ticking as soon as they off the field. Back in 15 minutes flat.
Sam Darnold steps out with the knee evaluation, here comes Lee’s Summit son Drew Lock to start Year 8 for the #Seahawks. Maryville native Jalen Sundell is at center snapping to Lock for a full Kansas City metro connection.
There's a long and shady history when it comes to conflicts of interest in the women's sports space. But Sue Bird partnering with Polymarket WHILE serving as managing director of USA Basketball AND as an investor in Gotham FC and Seattle Storm PLUS all of her various media roles?!?
The Portland Thorns announced today that it has reached an agreement with midfielder Deyna Castellanos to mutually terminate her contract. Castellanos will depart after joining in January 2025, registering five goals and an assist in her 33 appearances across all NWSL competitions
Of course it ends with the big serve and the tongue out 😂😂 well done Ben Shelton. The muscles aren’t just for show 💪
Carlos Alcaraz and Ben Shelton just broke the record for the latest finish ever at the U.S. Open. The record was previously held by the Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz US Open QF in 2022 - 2:50 a.m. Ben Shelton vs Carlos Alcaraz US Open QF is currently 2:56 a.m. and counting
Ben Shelton looking like a cyborg, got Alcaraz looking like he just got off the couch. That power is winning, for now.
