Why is the team of the season announced with teams having 4-6 games left?

Same as announcing man of the match in the 88th minute.

Let the competition run out before handing out the accolades!

More mic'd up refs, please

Athletes have the most complicated taxes.

NFL, NBA, and MLB players file 10 to 25 tax returns each year, and some athletes pay more than $1 million to states they don't even live in.

This is because of the Jock Tax.

And it all started with Michael Jordan.

Here's the story 👇

@TheSpec @katejmccullough Standing trial in a murder case might just be the best moment there is to get rid of those nagging double negatives you may have in your vocabulary...

@Marco487728291 @Squawka Denk een gevalletje ‘compleet seizoen’ tegenover ‘nog actieve competities’, want in dat laatste geval is Feyenoord inderdaad aan een ontzettende sterke reeks bezig.

Hopelijk uit in Rome ook een goed resultaat en dan doorstomen naar Budapest!

[Ayolt de Roos @Scorebordjourn]

@Marco487728291 @Squawka Zeg absoluut niet dat de tweet verkeerd is (en het is ook zeker een hele knappe prestatie van Feyenoord), ik vul ‘m alleen maar aan. Beetje arbitraire om 2 van de 3 competities te vermelden.

@StatsOnCycling What happened in the 2010 edition?!

[Ayolt de Roos @Scorebordjourn]

@kit_geek @museumofjerseys @SUBWAY @Socceroos The Dutch are quite good at that as well, even finding a sponsor with an orange lion as logo!

@CaseyToGo @ForgeFCHamilton 'Hammer the Steel' makes it sound a lot more on-brand for Forge as well, compared to 'hit the anvil'. 👌

@GoalscorerC 1⃣ Lucas Moura's 96th minute winner against Ajax in the 2018/19 UCL semis.

2⃣ Van de Beek from Ajax to Man. United: ruined his career!

3⃣ Nouri replacing Ziyech vs. Bremen in 2017 pre-season. Collapsed 25 minutes later, which might have never happened otherwise.

@onesoccer Brym (apart from not being a new face, like others pointed out already) doesn't play for Sparta at the moment: he is under contract there, but is loaned out to FC Eindhoven.

19 years old and asked to face:
Mookie Betts (single)
Mike Trout (walk)
Paul Goldschmidt (walk)
Nolan Arenado (double)
Kyle Tucker (sacfly)
Tim Anderson (walk)
J.T. Realmuto (single)

That's 35.7 oWAR from the 2022 season you're trying to fend off there... 😓

[Codify @CodifyBaseball]

Keep that chin up, my dude.
That was quite a set of hitters they asked you to face.

@Jerrythekid21 When I read ‘vet’ my mind went to veterinarian instead of veteran, and I thought: “that’s so sweet, that you thanked him for his service!” 😹

@MMege31 @_exempligratia_ @CodifyBaseball For games on TV I agree that action time is the same, so the new rules are fine.

However, I agree with what Eric said above: if you go to the ballpark - especially assuming ticket prices will stay the same if not creep up - you don’t want to be out of the stadium in record time!

[Ayolt de Roos @Scorebordjourn]

@MMege31 @_exempligratia_ @CodifyBaseball With ‘action time’ do you mean players on the field & balls in play? Or do you mean the time from first pitch to final out?

I feel like Eric is referring to the latter, and although I hadn’t really considered that point of view yet, I do get what he’s saying!

[Ayolt de Roos @Scorebordjourn]

@ESPNFC Ronaldo didn’t score nor assist any of those goals. Why are you showing him standing over a free kick that (apparently) didn’t even go in?

[Ayolt de Roos @Scorebordjourn]

@Barzal4TheC_ @JayCuda The Padres don’t have any titles though…
