Playing R.E.M. at the supermarket across the street. So the world isn't completely going to hell?

One of the handful of days that occur every two years when I'm uncomfortably a Yankee fan.

@jayjaffe.bsky.social, you inspired me. Great end to my weekend bike ride.

My favorite spot in New York. Battery Park is second, but a distant one.

My dad recently gave me his childhood copy of the first issue of Sports Illustrated, published on August 16, 1954. The cover shows the Milwaukee Braves' Eddie Mathews at bat against the New York Giants. Before I get it framed, I want to go through it and post some of its contents.🧵

I remember watching this live — what I believe is the only 8-5 triple play in MLB history — made possible by the bad baserunning of Yoán Moncada and, to a lesser extent, Adam Engel. I hope at least it hastened the end of La Russa's second tenure as our manager: youtu.be/ZHKeRZDB1rM?...

Mikel Merino. What do you say, @stacheesq.bsky.social?

Every tacky and corrupt thing introduced at this World Cup will obviously be part of every World Cup of the future. Forgive us, world.

Hey, bandwagon jumpers, who haven't followed soccer in your lives. At least know they're the most loathsome collection of players in the world: www.nytimes.com/athletic/564...

Football’s silence over Argentina’s racist chanting is deafening and damning (Gift Article)

At moments like this, the idea that football is serious about combating racism is very hard to take seriously

Now that England's out, do we at least get to watch fewer Beckham commercials?

That was the worst sports loss of my life.

In 1894, my Norwegian grandfather was born in a village in what today is Bodø Municipality, above the Arctic Circle. Norway has four players — Berg, Schjelderup, Hauge, and Bjørkan — from Bodø, a city of about 50,000 people. Wearing my 1994 Norway jersey with pride today. Let's go, Norway!

I was at the game in 1994 when Wynalda scored against Switzerland. But Tillman's goal was even better! Let's go, Tillman!

The list of American men to score a direct free-kick goal at a World Cup is a short one 😮

“I will be one of the Jewish members of Congress most willing to stand up for Palestinian human rights. And I will stand firmly against bigotry aimed at Jews. Those are not two different jobs. They are the same job,” Brad Lander said.

Norway party boat spotted on the Hudson. Could hear the singing from the pier I'm sitting on. My grandfather was from there, and I'm going to the Senegal match tomorrow. Let's go, Norway!
