Chris Paul announces he is officially retiring from basketball after 21 seasons, ending a Hall of Fame career.

FIFA just sold football’s history to the highest bidder.

The removal of analytic data on @FBref is a calculated heist of public knowledge to protect a 2026 World Cup gambling monopoly.

Stats Perform (@OptaSTATS) is taking the heat but FIFA is equally to blame.

BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks and owner Patrick Dumont are expected to fire general manager Nico Harrison at a 10 am central time meeting on Tuesday, sources tell me and Tim MacMahon.

This is a red flag on so many levels.

The games are so much more than the highlights. This is like saying you only need to watch a movie’s trailer.

But more importantly, sports are supposed to be accessible. Entertainment for the masses. That’s very quickly and sadly changing.

Jurgen Klopp spoke of wanting to win titles with “a team full of Scousers”.

Eddie Howe described the Geordies in his Newcastle United side as “very special… they bring a uniqueness about them”.

“He’s one of our own,” sing dozens of fanbases around the country.

Yet that number is beginning to shrink. On Sunday, the first Premier League Manchester derby of the season takes place. Though Manchester City have a nucleus of local players — Phil Foden, Nico O’Reilly, Rico Lewis — with Kobbie Mainoo out of favour, no Mancunian is likely to be in Manchester United’s starting XI.

Go back 30 years and it was a very different story...

@jwhitey98 on the decline of local players, and why it matters in soccer's most global of leagues:

There shouldn’t even be a Palace European game tonight. If UEFA were going to demote them (which I disagree on), the fairer solution would’ve been to give Palace an automatic Conference League spot and make Forest go through Europa League playoffs.

Earned a classic Bill Simmons “Woah”.

Judging by his choice, probably best to leave while you’re still remembered as an excellent defender — and cash in while you can. He really was outstanding last season.

The most surprising to go? Considering most take less to get to Barca

🚨💣 BREAKING: Al Nassr agree deal to sign Iñigo Martínez, here we go! 🟡🔵

Full time 0-0.

Biggest talking point was the penalty appeals.

MK dons were frustrated. They didn’t take enough risks against a team who were always gonna take the point away from home.

[Cam Wilson @10CJWilson]

With @thetimes for promotion favourites @MKDonsFC vs newly promoted @OfficialOAFC

The narratives:

Oldham Athletic’s return to the EFL after spending.

Mk Dons have a top manager in Paul Warner and a big squad to match it.

Surprised this wasn’t one of the games picked for TV!

Surely this gets contested to the DNCG,

🗞️ Southend have confirmed due to engineering works - both them and Oldham have got just 17,500 tickets each for their Play-Off Final.

Southend have slightly increased theirs to 18,900 due to extra coaches.

No word on Oldham.

What a mess
