The votes are in from WCHA coaches, who see the league title swinging back toward Ohio State in 2026-27 after Wisconsin won the last two. The reasons are between the lines: OSU had three players on the preseason All-WCHA team, UW none. badgerextra.com/sports/hocke...

Was really glad to be able to chat with Madison while she was reporting this story. I knew she'd knock it out of the park, and she did. I'm glad mainstream outlets are finally exposing Sey for the grifter that she is.
Madison Pauly@msjpauly.bsky.social · 5h agoFormer Levi's exec Jennifer Sey fanned a culture war over trans athletes in a league that has none—to the benefit of her clothing brand, XX-XY Athletics. "I know my mom isn’t that invested" in the WNBA, her son told me. "But...I guess the vultures will circle." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A reminder that it's not just that there's only one outlet in the state covering each of Bucks/Badgers/Brewers/Packers/Marquette on a daily basis, but that there's really only one that covers more than two of those on a daily basis. www.jsonline.com/sports/

Not long ago, many college kickers weren’t even on scholarship. In the NIL era, they’ve created an informal network to share pay information and win big raises. “They basically self-created their own market.” www.wsj.com/sports/footb...
College Football Kickers Were Underpaid. Then They Started Texting.
Players at the afterthought position have created a quiet but powerful information network and are leveraging it for big pay raises.

good morning I wrote about the volleyball games at Wrigley Field, which were beautiful, triumphant, chaotic, frustrating...and probably never happening again www.extrapointsmb.com/p/college-vo...
College volleyball at Wrigley Field was beautiful and chaotic. It probably won't happen again.
Was it cool? Absolutely. But there's a reason volleyball is typically played indoors, not in 112-year-old baseball stadiums.

Thomas Pannone has just thrown the fifth nine-inning CG perfect game in International League history. The 32-year-old Nashville lefty (Brewers org) dominated, needing only 93 pitches to do it. The final batter got to a 3-0 count, the first 3-ball count Pannone had since the 2nd.
Can I interest you in a Thomas Pannone perfect game (after he fell behind 3-0 on the 27th batter no less)?
Season series secured against the Cubs, meaning today is the rare three-number slice off the magic number. It was 12. Now it's 9.
BREAKING: Vlatko Andonovski and the Kansas City Current have mutually parted ways. Per club release: "Both parties determined that Andonovski’s requested transition from coaching into the Sporting Director role at the end of last season was not the right fit." #NWSL
vlatko was moved to sporting director then the owner called jesse marsch to ask who to hire as coach, then yeeted the best defensive midfield prospect in the country without replacing her. none of these were vlatko-coded decisions, i’m surprised he lasted this long.
Nice undertone of "hysterical women" here. Love that. Surprised the GP didn't also mention these young women's weight as part of the problem..... (*for clarity this comment is snarky*)
The entire article is just vaguely sourced anecdotes from social media. "Doctors have been cast as bigots" OK by whom, how so, why does this matter? The only "expert" cited is another columnist for the same fucking newspaper.
It's wild how people write this shit blissfully unaware that they have been caught up in social contagion themselves but for bigoted ideologies

“I am grateful for your advocacy and your willingness to challenge us to be bold, listen more closely, and think differently. … You made this league stronger, and you made me a better leader.” It would have been nice to hear that in public more often.
Alexa Philippou@alexaphilippou.bsky.social · 4d agoWNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert sent this letter to players this morning announcing her retirement:
Some context from @slangsonsports.bsky.social ⤵️ This marked Crow-Armstrong's 5th homer on a pitch 1.20 feet off the ground or lower since the start of 2024. That is the most such homers in the Majors in that time period.
Jordan Bastian@bastianmlb.bsky.social · 5d agoPete Crow-Armstrong's 39th homer of the season came off a changeup from Logan Henderson that was 1.20 feet off the ground. That's the lowest pitch that PCA has homered off this season, per Statcast.
This story is beyond upsetting my god
Turp@turpin4prez.bsky.social · 5d agoThis story should have more attention. ASU's idiot coach brought in some military prick to run a grueling boot camp-style workout in the heat, which included restricting water intake. NHL prospect player suffers a heat stroke and is probably going to die from it. arizonasports.com/ncaa/arizona...
Gloria Steinem died with fewer rights than she had during her lifetime. That fact needs to be front and centre of every media report, every dedication, every discussion of her death.
