Writer. I mainly use this for research, curation and sports talk (Blazers, Padres and USMNT). More serious words can be found on more serious platforms.
I've been thinking of online echo chambers as the internet's new religions. Speak to your own and be rewarded. Speak out against your flock and be cast out. Go your own way and be ignored.
Fox had 44 touches in the second half, the most of any Spur. Only 5 touched the paint. San Antonio scored 0.387 points per chance out of his touches. He shot 2-of-6 w/ 2 turnovers when defended by OG.
No one for the Spurs attempted more than six shots against any match-up.
I don’t know how Fox comes back after last night. His entire role on the team is based on decision making and that was some of the worst point guard play I’ve ever seen in a high leverage game.
The Netherlands national team has OFFICIALLY arrived in Kansas City!

Spain is experiencing Chattanooga, TN.
Argentina is in Auburn, Alabama.
Germans are eating Waffle House.
Brits are still complaining.
This World Cup has been amazing and it hasn’t even started yet.
If the #Padres lose this game, they'll look back at the inning they had bases loaded with no outs and were unable to score more than one run after. Embarrasing.

This Machado interview is wild (start around the 7 minute mark). He’s in the “analytics” is ruining baseball camp and it sounds like he refuses to adapt.
-“It’s definitely getting harder to play, it’s definitely getting more strategic…I just wish we could get analytics out of the game.”
-All these new stats and metrics are pointless (he doesn’t know what any of them mean)
-He just wants to “see ball, hit ball”
Machado is currently hitting .174 with a .619 OPS on the season…
We are officially in World Cup month. Please leave your xG charts, pressing percentages, and defensive metrics in the club season. International tournament football is strictly decided by pure vibes, individual brilliance, tactical survival, and a random goalkeeper turning into prime Lev Yashin for two weeks. Enjoy the entertainment and put the spreadsheets away.
sometimes I'll hear about an interesting sounding history book, and then I do some more research and learn that historians actually consider it the stupid book for morons that you should only read if you want to be wrong about everything
