.@DannyParkins thinks Bo Nix isn't getting enough credit among the 2024 1st-round QBs 👀
"Bo Nix has more wins than all of them, more touchdowns than all of them, and more yards than all of them.”

Seems pretty obvious the USA is where you go if you want to get better at soccer
Scotland fans have donated nearly $30,000 to charities in Providence as a thank you for welcoming them for their World Cup matches.
• $10,000 to the children's hospital cancer unit
• $10,000 to soccer for underprivileged kids
• $6,500 to help kids learn bagpipes
@PumbaCakes@SleeperHQ Might I remind you the Canadians won a Stanley cup playoff game with 9 shots, would have been 0-0 in the regular season which is essentially what group stages are in the World Cup
🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:
“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.
The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.
This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”
The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.
And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?
Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.
The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”
Gabriel Landeskog was certainly not expecting a second award to appear when he sat down for this interview! 🏆
Watch as Landeskog's family surprises him with the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for the way he exemplified perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey. #NHLAwards
@JMurrayWrld He was an “amazing person” because he made sure the cameras were there when he did something. Egotistical and self-absorbed.
Truth lied in how his teammates viewed him. Absolute buffoon.
This was three days ago. It’s proof you never know what’s going on in a person’s mind or heart. Please know that even if you feel it, you’re never alone and there’s always a way out of the darkness. The suicide and crisis lifeline is 988. 💔😞
Im not a Nuggets or an Avs fan so Nix's injury.... but also... it should be Nix's injury for everyone. Avs are great truly but outmatched. Broncos were never outmatched. An injury took our souls right out of our bodies.
