I love watching sports, not so good at playing them. Chicago born, Indiana raised, Connecticut by choice. Ball State ‘17 | Northwestern ‘18

Seeing the name Mario Hezonja in the year of our lord 2026 reminded me of when he said before the 2015 draft that, “Messi should come see me”

[Dan McCarney @danmccarneyNBA]

Maybe my favorite quote ever. Likely lottery pick Mario Hezonja, asked if he'd been to see Messi play. "Let him come see me."

Much like the board game, I foresee many people starting this and never finishing it

[Pop Base @PopBase]

Netflix is developing a competition series based on the board game Monopoly.

Players will compete on a life-sized Monopoly board to win $2 MILLION.

Tacos La Rosa, Willimantic

Meat is fine, perfectly crispy but missing some flavor

Tortillas are sturdy, but a bit bland flavor wise

Salsa roja is good, but nothing special

[Erik Alcantar @ErikDoubleA]

I’ve decided to start a thread of tacos I’ve eaten since moving to Connecticut. I will continue my search for the best tacos in the state until I’m satisfied.

A couple of notes before I get started:

-Typical order for me is steak tacos

-Yes, I do miss Chicago Mexican food

[Erik Alcantar @ErikDoubleA]

Monterrey Mexican Restaurant, Bristol

(Birria tacos)

The meat here is very flavorful, could be a little more tender

The tortillas need to be more toasted as they are too flimsy

Price is a bit steep, $20/3 tacos + rice + beans

Not bad, not great

The first official World Cup Song of 2026 (featuring Jelly Roll and Carín León) is out! Its lyrics sure do scream “celebration of the power of sport and the global beauty of soccer”

There's A LOT planned for the #NWSL on ESPN, as is laid out in this link. 👇

I'll beat the drum again: Futbol W is on ESPN+ every Tuesday (8:30p ET), a WEEKLY, IN-STUDIO commitment to in-depth league coverage on top of games. Plus daily digital coverage with a national scope. ✍️

[Erik Alcantar @ErikDoubleA]

@Lindaliciousss @ProFootballDoc other kind of football, what are the chances he can be back on the field for the World Cup in June?

[Erik Alcantar @ErikDoubleA]

So glad I got to see him perform one last time back in January. It won’t be the same without him!

[WWE @WWE]

One final goodbye.

Thank YOU, @JohnCena. 🫡
