If you remember the #Steelers’ TikTok drama with JuJu Smith-Schuster in 2020, seeing Mike Tomlin doing this now is 10x funnier. 😂

Rutgers invented college football in 1869 and has spent the last 160 years regretting the decision

2 bites before even hitting bun had me dying. Heard a rumor that Mother Green chewed Greg’s food for him til he was 15 and I’m starting to believe it

@DavidJHarrisJr It’s super simple. He’s so privileged he’ll never understand until he goes to another country and bad mouths the government and sees what happens to him.

I didn’t know we could just declare transgender claims to be in “bad faith” and then simply dismiss those claims out of hand.

This is a clarifying revelation. Thanks, WNBA!

The most frustrating part about this season is that Tarik Skubal would’ve still been a Detroit Tiger if the bullpen didn’t blow leads like they were bubbles the first two months of the season.

We’ve played to a 100-win pace since June 1st. It’s been a complete rollercoaster.

Around Christmas time I was traveling and Austin ran to take a picture of Christmas Tree in a hotel lobby. I asked why he did that. He said he just liked Christmas Trees. I shoulda known something was fishy then

23 and 22- Diego Cartaya (released)
21- Keibert Ruiz (ass)
20-Gavin Lux (ass)
19- Alex Verdugo (ass)

“Loaded” farm system is them being constantly over ranked and overhyped

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year.

That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer.

FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset.

US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records.

So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros.

Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability.

Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business.

They will not.
