The first line of Messi’s bio will always be that he’s the USOC Hugo Picard of Leagues Cup. #Crew96

Messi just LOVES to score in Leagues Cup!

No pressure, but @tonyreast.bsky.social is becoming central to my plan to keep the Pacers in all of my kids’ blood now that we don’t live in the Midwest. Pacers talk as the background music to their lives. LBJ coming here will test the resolve of my school aged children. Peer pressure and all.

Brais Méndez > Lamine Yamal Thank you for your attention to this matter. #Crew96

Winning is good and fun and cool. #Crew96

Ok I take back the part about teams taking it seriously. #Crew96

Woke up this morning ready to take on the haters of Leagues Cup. A tournament clubs take seriously, does not create ‘fixture congestion’ unless you make the semis (like all tournaments), and produces fun matchups we don’t get to see otherwise. #Crew96

To me, the greatest #Crew96 player of all time is a dead heat between Marino Hinestroza and Nariman Akhundzada.

Ok @netw3rk.bsky.social and @gretamjohnsen.bsky.social level with me. I hate Criston Cole so much. His death generated more schadenfreude for me than any since Ramsay Bolton. But Fabien Frankel seems like the most lovely man on earth. Is he really that charming and charismatic in person?

I love America’s diversity. Apparently the 400th Spider-Man movie came out this weekend, is going to make a trillion dollars, and I literally had no idea it existed nor do I have any interest in ever seeing it. This country is big enough for all of us.

Man that’s an incredible point to grab #Crew96 #LaurentMayBeSavingUsForReal

This game is crying out for a Zawadski 90+5’ headed equalizer off of a corner. #Crew96

Gomes had about 15 yards to run and 10 minutes to think about that shot just to hit it a mile over the goal. Not ideal. #Crew96

Man I thought it was cool the #Crew96 was gonna have a half where the back line didn’t give up a goal by just freezing for no apparent reason. Alas…

Very funny for Italy to join a World Cup boycott.

Eddie Howe storming out of Newcastle like he’s some sort of martyr after finishing in the bottom half of the league with a team bought with piles of blood money is so funny man.

Oh my God somehow, some way I’d never seen this before a few minutes ago. Is this the worst sentence ever published in the English language? #Crew96

Talarico needs to do the Ossoff 2020 move 3x.

BREAKING: James Talarico challenges Ken Paxton to three televised debates. “Ken Paxton’s handlers claim he’s willing to debate, but every time a reporter asks a question, he literally runs away. We’ll see if Ken Paxton has the courage to show up, or if he’ll run away like usual.”

Why is hard for people to wrap their head around the fact that a GOP senator in a deep red state that does not participate in roll calls is about as good as it gets?

Wow Kentucky , you really picked two of the worst senators .

The thing is, this interview is pretty interesting. But suggesting that *Christopher Nolan* needs to hire a screenwriter is so immediately discrediting as to render all of the criticism directed at her mostly deserved.

The renowned classics scholar caused a stir when her critical review of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey went viral. Wilson explains her reaction to the film and why she's translating the poem again. n.pr/3TvJ34Y

Republican physicians who become politicians do more to undermine public trust in science via blatant misinformation than any other group of people (see: Rand Paul, Bill Cassidy, Ronny Jackson, Andy Harris, etc).

Sen. Roger Marshall: "Who didn't have a friend who took this vaccine and had some time of complication? A stroke, a blood clot, a young man getting some type of heart inflammation. That's what destroyed the trust in the American people for our government."

Thank you to Beshear for basically saying “online posters are dumb and don’t know anything” because that’s true like, at least 97% of the time.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.

Beshear: "There's an argument that August 3 is a date where I could not later call a special. Those that are really pushing this are under the impression a Dem might be able to win. It's been since '92 that we had a Dem senator in KY ... not having McConnell show up isn't necessarily a bad thing"

Miami fans can’t be real man. Miami, the club who has been around for 5 minutes and blatantly cheats at every opportunity. Their fans have a persecution complex? Someone must be spiking my Coke Zero with crazy pills. #Crew96

My bhoys in yellow looked like a Nancy coached bunch for at least 70’. I’d forgotten that soccer can be aesthetically pleasing to watch. #Crew96 #HellIsReal

Tonight was the night Taha became president. After two years of not having a position - his position is officially whatever he was playing tonight. #Crew96

Ok, so on the FCC goal Camacho was a corpse but also Farsi clearly got the @mattdoyle.bsky.social kiss of death. #Crew96

At worst, that penalty was the 2nd most despicable act ever committed by Matt Miazga. #Crew96 #ACESRadio #America

LeBron was just waiting for @tonyreast.bsky.social’s month long podcast marathon to end for his announcement. #LockedOnPacers

I have spent all 35 of my years hating the German national team. And since 2002, the name Torsten Frings has been my shorthand for being a lying cheat who deserves nothing good in life. But Klopp will have me belting out Deutschlandlied every chance I get now. What a man.
