USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
The Athletic posted an updated 26 this morning. I’ll post the full thing later today when I’m in front of a computer. But they have Musah completely off the team and not even particularly close. Hard to disagree but that’s so disappointing to me. I felt like he was literally our best player in Qatar and at that time looked like our next best chance to develop a truly world class, champions league-caliber player. It’s been nothing but downhill since. I dunno if the guy is just fucking lazy or what. Such a bummer.

2025 MLB thread
I only skimmed that article, but seems like there will be MLB games on ESPN, NBC/Peacock, Netflix, Apple, Fox/FS1, and TBS? Plus the usual fuckery with MLB.tv/RSNs, depending on what team(s) you care about? Very cool, very fan friendly. Gotta love the current media rights landscape.

Surly Jazz Thread
I randomly discovered this Austrian sax player with like 4,000 listeners on Spotify and she fucking rips. She has a very Coltrane-esque spiritual vibe but also gets into some great grooves. Muriel Grossman is her name, check her out if you dig. She's got a ton of albums on Spotify.

2025 MLB thread
That's what everyone is saying, but Rodriguez's shoulder sucks. Long term shoulder stuff is probably even worse than TJ/elbow issues. Sure, he might get healthy and be an ace, but there's also a chance that he's basically Brandon Webb but without the few years of success first.

2026 World Cup in North America: Step 1 - the host cities
Just noticed that Costa Rica have failed to qualify. Pretty surprising considering the expanded format. Very disappointing for Los Ticos.

Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
I think the Dems walked into a trap on this whole deal. Pam Bondi is making Epstein_files.doc on her computer right now that says "The Clintons, Joe Biden, George Soros", and that's what will be released. MAGA world will accept that whole cloth because all human beings ever want is for their biases to be confirmed. Everyone else will cry foul but to what end?

2025 Self Gratifying Fantasy Football thread
Tough call at RB this week because of byes: Nick Chubb - only 8 carries the last two weeks combined, but great matchup (vs BUF) Tyrone Tracy - apparent starter but awful matchup (@ DET) Sean Tucker - exploded last week but awful matchup (@ LAR) and playing time situation very unclear Isiah Pacheco - possibly still hurt, not very good, possibly sharing time, average matchup (vs IND) Leaning toward Tracy at the moment.

Disappointing how Jack Endries has turned out to be a total zero.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
I’m a little worried that Kirby : Sark :: Stoops :: Mack.

I can’t remember when I’ve ever seen a football team so thoroughly give up on a game.

Maybe the SC defense will grow a pair of nuts and at least make aggy run a few plays to go 99

Jesus Christ they scored from the 10 yard line on 2 plays.

Holy shit. Lightning quick 3 and out followed by giving up an 80 yard pass play. That’s some impressive give up.

aggy cock game thread
I just got home and flipped on the game and the very first play I see is an aggy bomb for a TD. Do I turn it back off? Am I the problem?

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
I assume a lot of these posts are Russian Twitter bots. The question I have is why is Russia turning on him now? Just to sow chaos basically? Not getting what they want as fast as they want in Ukraine?

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
I assume Trump will kick this back to Congress to take out the hemp stuff. He's not a true believer in that cause (or in any cause, incidentally), but he knows that it will hurt him with young men and I guess maybe some farmers.

The Athletic Scoops Sark interested in NFL Jobs
I like Sark as much as the next guy and personally hope he stays, but let's not overlook the fact that our return to success also coincides nicely with it becoming legal to pay players. It's really hard to argue that the actual X's and O's on the field this year has been overly impressive.

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Just stepping back, how was it so easy for the Republicans to peel off 8 Democrats (17% of the caucus) with nothing more than a promise to back pay federal workers (which they are legally required to do anyway) and a future vote that everyone knows won't actually happen? Serious question - when was the last time that the Democrats peeled off 17% of Republicans with minimal promises in order to get something done?

25-26 Dallas Mavericks Thread: The Season of Our Discontent
Adelson keeps dumping a lot of money into Texas elections and keeps losing. Maybe there's a slight hope that she gets tired of it and bails.
