I am, once again, not allowed to voice any opinions publicly, but I will say my wife has worked very hard canvassing for a candidate over the last few weeks here in Michigan and I am very proud and supportive of her efforts, so today is a very big day.

It's certainly possible that the Sixers win 60+ games and cruise to the title, but I personally will believe in a somewhat incoherent super team with tons of ball handlers when I see it.

i know we are in the era of prequelling everything but COME ON WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT THIS GUY DID ON CHRISTMASES PAST. THAT'S ALREADY COVERED KIND OF A PRETTY BIG PART OF THE ORIGINAL TBH THE PRE HAS ALREADY BEEN QUELLED!!!

I’ve seen worse PR pitches in my email but none that make me more personally enraged than “The driveway hoop is getting an AI upgrade”

If it were me and I wanted to avoid a second yellow card, I personally wouldn’t have visibly dived

My VAR take is that it, like every other form of replay in every other sport, is going nowhere because of sports gambling.

It's all related. And none of it should be THIS hard.

"We just watched one of the most incredible games in recent memory on the biggest stage imaginable featuring one of the most important athletes of all time. "Let's now throw it to Alexi Lalas to help us make sense of it."

One thing I will say is that the US youth soccer system is certainly flawed, but I am interested to see where we’re at in like 15 years, because there are some very, very good 9-year-olds out there at some of these clubs.

Not to be overly downer, but I’m hesitant to overstate the accomplishments of the USMNT when their wins were Australia, Paraguay and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and their losses were Turkiye (already out) and Belgium (4-1, outclassed).

Biggest game is USMNT history and their opponent casually brings Jeremy Doku in at the 70-minute mark lol it is unbelievably Joe-ver

This is the legacy of No Child Left Behind smh

"A 2028 first round pick (the LA Clippers' own) that, if it is top 16, instead becomes the unprotected right for Boston to swap its currently-held 2028 first round pick (the worst of Boston's and San Antonio's) with the better of the LA Clippers' or (if PHI's is top 8) PHI's 2028 first round pick."

I'm certainly not the only one, but this is pretty much precisely how I thought the American World Cup was going to go lol

It was wild watching the poor Mexican player with the destroyed ankle receive an increasingly large amount of medical attention every time the camera panned to that side of the field.

Rolling your own injured teammate off the pitch so you can take a corner? That’s CONCACAF.

There are going to be like 12 minutes of stoppage time and Mexico is going to be exponentially more desperate every minute that passes, we're gonna see some things we've never seen before over the next like 15 minutes.

Really need Quiñones to play for a team that matters ASAP.

I love late goals like Neymar’s because they make everything that happened previously so much more consequential. Suddenly Haaland’s second goal is the game-winner instead of just insurance, and Bruno G’s saved PK is an even more unmitigated disaster.

I will never get tired of seeing shots of Distraught Gabriel.

The Celtics have a really good and coherent big rotation.

Some semantics are at work here (and some ownership covering their backsides), but it's probably a fair distinction - the Celtics aren't cost-cutting, they are creating a path to make a run at an expensive superstar in the summer of 2027.

From @adamhimmelsbachbot.mirrors.bot: "... a league source stressed that this was not a cost-cutting transaction, and there was no directive from ownership to trade Brown." www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/01/s...

Not ready for Yan Diomande's World Cup run to be over.

I hope we are all talking about the big offseason acquisition news: Spurs acquiring Mateus Fernandes.

“We come from the red earth“ is an absolutely unbelievable bar

Paraguay head coach Gustavo Alfaro said more words in his almost hour-long press conference than Bill Belichick probably did in that room in 20 years. What night, what a press conference. www.boston.com/sports/world...

You have to think of it in the metaphysical sense, an effort to let the fates decide because the humans have shied away from their responsibility. They’re given an extra 30 mins to get a victory. And if not, then we invite the chaos of the universe to do what it will.

Erik Hane@erikhane.bsky.social · last mo.

That was such a great game last night but man I hate variant-format overtimes in any sport. Penalty kicks, fewer guys on the ice in hockey, anything like that. When a tie doesn’t work, you have to just keep playing the game. Why are we playing side quest minigames in the World Cup knockouts

The ultimate indignity is what happened to Brahim Diaz for Morocco at AFCON but this was a close second

Robby Kalland@rkalland.bsky.social · last mo.

Getting a PK saved by a goalie who is still standing up is the ultimate indignity lmao

If I still lived in Massachusetts, it would be time for me to surrender all payment methods to my wife until about 3:15 p.m. with instructions to tase me if I asked for them prior.

A quick check on match-day prices for France-Norway in Foxborough:

It's, uh, pretty dire that Jaylen Brown rumors have gone from Giannis to " .... maybe Jalen Duren?"
