Mama said there’d be days like this
I kind of knew that being so jonesed about the U.S.’ first qualifier would lead to something of a dry-heave of a game last night. This is CONCACAF, after all. Winning on the road is incredibly hard. It’s even harder when you’re taking a squad full of players that haven’t been on the road in CONCACAF...
Are the Giants slumping or showing their true colors?

It’s just a matter of time,” or “Just look ...
‘Highlights’ of a Bad Boy
Former rebound king and Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman is recognized as one of the original bad boys of the NBA.

I’m calling on the NCAA to boycott Texas (again) after SCOTUS allows abortion ban
After the U.S. Supreme Court sat back and did nothing on Wednesday, a law went into effect in Texas that bans most abortions after six weeks.

It’s getting biblical out there, folks, so what are we going to do about it?
I do my best to not get into the doom-scrolling or doomsaying mode, though yesterday in America truly felt like some of the foundation simply melting courtesy of New York City flooding, and coming to a halt, and Texas making every citizen the arbiter of any woman’s body....
MLB’s proposal is still horse—-t
Whatever happens to MLB in the offseason is seemingly going to hinge on just how much the players’ association wants to dig their heels in, how much they can, and what’s important to them.

Victor Oladipo improves online discourse by tweeting only in 🧢 emojis
Ohhh, the ever-evolving age of social media. There’s nothing like waking up in the morning, turning on your phone, only to see your mentions blowing up and your name being tossed around like a Caesar salad. At those moments, you have two options: Clap back, or let it ride....
It’s hard to know who’s king twit of dumb mountain between Real Madrid, PSG, and Barcelona
The transfer window in soccer closed yesterday evening, and after Cristiano Ronaldo took his rape accusations to Manchester United, there weren’t too many surprises.
