@MarkOgden_ @craigburley Asinine take. Many examples of successful introverts who communicate their ideas to players, club and greater public better than extroverts.

Not to mention, United already have hired experienced PL coaches who weren’t introverts or club legends.

@gregrachac A fellow UMer used Brawl of the Wild on a 1A teaser in the GF Trib circa 2012 and the sports guys (the fuddy duddy journalists?) blew a few gaskets, eventually yelling at me when I started giggling at them: “You don’t understand the gravity of the situation.” Still don’t.

@skylar_rispens You are on the wrong campus. Most are dressed up here.

@gregberge Truth.

Best piece I've read on Alex's legacy on and off the pitch: a seminal figure in the history of women's sports and a big reason for their meteoric rise.

[Jeff Kassouf @JeffKassouf]

Alex Morgan entered the #USWNT picture nearly 15 years ago with high external expectations for an uncapped player. She still exceeded those on the field. Off the field, she used her huge platform to be an ally and transform the game.

Reflecting on @espn:

@CC092117 @HoopMixOnly Please. MJ “relied” on explosive first step just as much as Shaq “relied” on size advantage.

[Scott Thompson @MTScottThompson]

@CTECOWBOY5 @richarddeitsch We can agree she would have excelled in D3. Had she played at that level, she might even have set the career scoring and assist records! Possibly even a few dozen others. Maybe made multiple national championship games. Been a 4X All-American. Now, that would be really excelling!

[Scott Thompson @MTScottThompson]

@CTECOWBOY5 @richarddeitsch Your definition of no good. Not mine, sir.

[Scott Thompson @MTScottThompson]

@CTECOWBOY5 @richarddeitsch Hilarious take. Larry Bird was no good because he didn’t win the NCAA title?

[Scott Thompson @MTScottThompson]

@AlexiLalas Serious question. Am I understanding correctly that the USWNT should “stick to sports,” but a soccer pundit should not?

[Scott Thompson @MTScottThompson]

People sometimes ask how a Missoula kid who had never been anywhere near Florida became a Bucs fan. Simple, start out as a Cowboy fan and watch them fire Landry and replace classiest coach ever with this guy. Can’t be a bandwagon fan of anyone good, so TB it is.

Fantastic atmosphere, even better game. Sat in the balcony split between Box Elder and Christian fans. It was rowdy and respectful. Play was high, high level. Great night for Class C. North Country girls are a historically great team.

[Jeremy MacDonald @jjmac78]

Packed Four Seasons was a great environment for two championship programs going toe to toe! Bears did just enough to get it done. What an amazing game to be a part of! Bringing this back to The Den! 🐻🏀💙💛

@richarddeitsch He is closer to No. 1 than No. 3.

@khansen406 Well, biggest sporting event in one country in the world. Do agree, it was a very nice kick through the end zone, though.

[Scott Thompson @MTScottThompson]

Watching Colombia and Linda with what felt like all of Bogota in the World Cup is on the shortest of short lists for my best memories as a fan from this lifelong sports nuts.

[The Women's Game @WomensGameMIB]

LINDA CAICEDO MAGIC ���

From the most ridiculous of angles, the Colombian sensation pulled off this quite incredible dinked finish to equalize for Real Madrid in their Copa de la Reina quarterfinal this evening. 🔥

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. Who would have ever thought a dictionary would be the best follow out there?

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

Today is National Thesaurus Day. Personally, we find these made-up holidays contemptible, abhorrent, nauseating, repugnant, and unpalatable.

@s_akem18 @_tylerhuff You are a class act, sir.

Zizou and Leo talk share thoughts on football in a language maybe only a handful of people in history can fully comprehend. It’s fascinating.
