The Coventry City badge doesn't really translate to the score bug very well. At first blush I thought it looked like Bluto wearing gloves with a soccer ball in front of him and a red and white prayer shawl over his head.

Somebody is pushing the Soccer Nerds starter pack I see. I'll do my best, but ymmv.

getting prepped for the Arsenal season and I have one conclusion: "Coven Try" would be a great name for a women's rugby team

Well that's not good.

Cavan Sullivan has been awesome against NYCFC, sparking a comeback from 2-0 down to now leading 3-2. Two assists for the Union, and he’s consistently the player they want on the ball in the final third. His decision making has rapidly evolved.

I don't always think about the social justice aspect of the work we do, but there is often a social justice aspect to the work we do.

Awesome to see my Grandma's stats up on Baseball-Reference now. Great stuff.

WRTI is currently playing a steel drum cover of Seal’s Kissed by a Rose. I take back all of the nice things I’ve been saying about their programming recently.

I keep a banana that I lost in there in 1987. I take it out occasionally to look at.

Just another example of how we let the FAANG's externalize all of the harm they cause instead of taking responsibility for it. Just the worst people.

What's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story

It’s “champing at the bit” not “chomping at the bit” and misuse of rein and reign.

What is an extremely nerdy/obscure/specific thing you hate with a white-hot wrath?

At least in France, Yankees hats appear 20x more than any other particular sport related hat.

I've been watching the NBC daily stage summaries for the Tour de France the last few years, so it was a happy coincidence that today's final stage corresponded with a previously planned vacation, and I got to stand on the Champs-Elysees and see the race go by five or six times.
