I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.

Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ...

The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.

That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.

Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.

Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.

It is my absolute honor, to be able to pick out clothing options for my daughter in the morning that anger her SO much, that she will get out of bed just to pick out her own clothes. We all win.

The Steelers have finished .500 or better for an NFL-record 22-straight seasons, with Mike Tomlin responsible for 19 of them.

Tomlin inherited the standard, and elevated it 😤

Can we have a conversation about the @Brewers?

[Mac Shumann @MacShumann]

Hard to not love PCA after his convo in the #MLBAllStar game. 23 and great grasp on life. What a great day to hear him and Scheffler spit the truth.

@paytonmcclowry happy for you kid! Have a great season.

Two wins from two today!

The Wheaton baseball team closed out its annual round robin event with a pair of victories on Saturday, taking down Calvin University, 7-4, in the first game before earning another seven-run win over Marian University tonight.

Braden Engel (pictured second slide) was 2-2 at the plate, scored two runs, and stole a base in the victory over Calvin, while Jared Kloth earned the win with four strikeouts, conceding just two runs through six frames. Freshman Billy Kessler posted two strong innings of relief, allowing zero hits and runs from the eight batters he faced.

Payton McClowry (pictured first slide) went for two hits, two RBI, one run, and a stolen base in the Marian win, and Nate Burden had another excellent showing on the mound, striking out three batters and giving up just one score through seven innings of work. JD Van Hook earned his first save of the season by sitting down a pair of Sabres batters in his 1.2-inning appearance to close out the Saturday sweep.

The Thunder will head to Wisconsin for a pair of games next week, as they face Carroll University on Tuesday and Carthage College on Friday before returning to Lee Pfund Stadium to host the Firebirds next Saturday.

Big news this morning that Amazon is acquiring a minority stake in Diamond Sports Group.

The regional sports network filed for bankruptcy last year, putting local media rights for 37 teams across the NBA, MLB, and NHL in jeopardy.

Now, customers can watch games on Amazon Prime.
