@NateSilver538 When picking your battles, you should pick the scandal that resonates with the public who votes. But given he has survived previous revelations, which scandal will eventually be the last straw?

@5liveSport Dan Burn the football player
Had a very shiny head
And if you ever saw it
You would say it’s made of lead

All of the soccer critics
Used to laugh and call him names
They didn’t want poor Dan Burn
To play in any World Cup games

Then one stormy Azteca night
Tuchel came to say…

You mean “grass ceiling”…

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

Twelve years ago, the USMNT’s round-of-16 opponents were Belgium, just as they will be in Seattle on Monday.

But where this team, led by Mauricio Pochettino and surfing a home wave of enthusiasm, are favourites to defeat an ageing Belgian side, the situation was very different in 2014.

This was a European side’s golden generation against a team no one had expected to make it out of the groups.

Yet one USMNT player was about to put in the performance of his life with a goalkeeping display so impressive that there is still dispute about how many saves he even made — and earned him the nickname ‘Secretary of Defense’.

I want @PabloTorre to find out if @AndresCantorGOL has done a triple GOL call.

[Pablo Torre 👀 @PabloTorre]

I once asked Mike Breen what it would take for him to triple-BANG.

He told me he’s never done it.

And that it would only happen “if the Knicks ever make it into the NBA Finals”

@WDIAfghanistan1 @jk_rowling What’s happening is terrible. Especially the Catch-22 where male physicians are not allowed to treat women, but women are not allowed to train as doctors.

My remarks to delegates, women leaders & NGO representatives at the 69th Session of the @unitednations Commission on the Status of Women #csw69 #csw2025 :

“We implore Member States to stand with the women & girls of Afghanistan by codifying & ending gender apartheid—if not because it is the right thing to do, then because it serves their nations’ own strategic self-interests.

“I want to thank Ambassador @faiq_naseer & his truly incredible staff at the Permanent Mission of #Afghanistan for continuing to not only represent the people of Afghanistan but continuing to defend & fight for them. Ambassador Faiq, you & your staff’s dedication to the people of Afghanistan is truly incredible, important & inspiring.”

Ritter’s beautiful assist for @OfficialBHAFC and I’m missing him more than ever

If @MLB can tell when inclement weather is coming and move up the game in Cleveland, you would think @united can tell they need more fuel before they leave and then return to the gate.

@TheAtlantic @jbenton We could invent these new events to honor American myths for the LA Olympics:
1. Cherry tree chopping contest in Griffith Park.
2. Race without GPS or map from an unknown destination to the LA Coliseum. You can only Sacagawea for help.
3. Tea tossing contest from the Queen Mary

“The band is still in the stands for Arizona State…” Love that line from @Pac12Network for the @CUBuffs @ASUFootball game. No miracle @CalFootball miracle finish…

Just learned that all the ads regarding @SouthwestAir and @Chase offering free upgraded boarding is a #UDAAP fine print gotcha. Apparently Premier card members don’t qualify. So Priority > premier. Got it. So I am out $180.

Interesting insight from @WSJ about @tyler_adams14 showing maturation of sport in US. A dirty work midfielder at @LUFC who does not score goals becoming a star.

Many people keep old paper ticket stubs to remember @MLB games they go to. When I go to @Athletics My A’s tickets, all my used ticket stubs are GONE. Does anyone know how to access used tickets stubs on the Ballpark App?
