This will probably get a fraction of the attention of anything said by a certain blonde ballplayer, but this deserves plenty of eyeballs in its own right. This is good allyship to the cause of letting ALL women play and feel welcome.

I think this is the biggest night to date for the Ijeh Nation. The doubters* didn’t check the advanced metrics and didn’t realize she could do this. *: At one point I was one of the doubters

Five from 1995 that fit my vibe: - anti-spam - instant messaging - on-brand - next-level - fast-casual Honorable mention to "mom jeans," and to one that doesn't fit my vibe but is tied to the defining economic event of my lifetime: "subprime."

Feels easy to look at the news and lay out a platform that's like: - No more killing in the street - Jail the people who do - End the ungovernable agency doing it and put in a humane system And if you're really feeling ambitious, can even promote immigration as a return to "Ellis Island borders."

This post has been aging like a fine wine

Wrestling fans, feel free to follow Chris's thread here! But I'm gonna expand it to the war on archives in general. Everything from no-disc video games to TV shows/films constantly pulled from streaming to the lawsuits trying to destroy things like the Internet @archive.org... it sucks to see.

Sad one but: Len Koenecke getting cut from the 1935 Dodgers and getting so drunk on a flight to NY that he had to be tied to the seat and kicked off. Then he chartered a flight to the minor league team in Buffalo, hijacked the plane, and got killed by the pilot hitting him with a fire extinguisher.

This guy will apparently curse literally everyone out other than his son-in-law, the guy who allegedly burned his daughter by throwing hot water at her and held a gun to her head.

Just hit me, if people need an idea for a sign to carry to basketball games in the near future that there’s an easy acrostic: We say No Bigotry Allowed

And this one is final, Gotham 1-0 over Bay. The April game in NJ was 3-0 Gotham. 21 saves for Silkowitz on 24 shots on target (plus an own goal), 0 goals to back her up, 0 points out of it. Has to be *so* frustrating. But good lord these stats are bonkers. Over FOUR AND A HALF goals prevented!

I believe we're getting an NWSL debut here as Madison Haugen comes on for the Spirit.

At save number 9 tonight, I think it's safe to say that Gotham must truly hate to see Jordan Silkowitz coming. 21 saves and counting for Bay in her two games against them.

This is a) extraordinary, and b) a reminder that my American brain is begging soccer to adopt the concept of points as a the preferred term for the goal contributions/G+A stat, in the same vein as hockey.

Just gonna drop this article I wrote the other day about Trinity Rodman being on fire this July because… it seems kinda relevant now. www.theixsports.com/the-ix-socce...

As they put it in Norwegian, a new chapter is beginning. The North Carolina Courage have announced they've signed Norwegian midfielder Vilde Bøe Risa, most recently of Atlético Madrid, through the 2028 season.

"Do you ever feel... Like a plastic bottle... Drifting through the crowd... Wanting the stage again?"

@ Culver’s open up in DC right now! I don’t want to have to drive to Raleigh or Cleveland just for a butterburger and cheese curds

The answer is yes, but @dianamoskovitz.bsky.social puts it much better than I can here. She dives into this inside, but Boise State professor Scott Yenor is a name to know, and to recognize as an enemy of women's sports.

I don't get angry about much with respect to having been laid off. But the fact that so many great reporters and producers have been axed after working so hard to tell the truth, while this Fox guy gets to report a straight lie without even being forced to issue a correction... makes my blood boil.

Denver coach Nick Cushing: “It’s a great finish from Cantore. World class. You get world class finishes from world class players. So we didn’t win the game tonight.” Plenty more on the Spirit/Denver game in my new newsletter! Read, share, and subscribe: im-curious-roey.beehiiv.com/p/im-curious...
