Every news story is like “DSA-backed candidates win big in municipal elections; National Hoe-Scaring Committee furious, demands answers”

My vague sense of DSA dynamics is that the folks I know in local chapters are like earnest lefties and the things I see on here about the national folks make them seem like insane cosplayers

All these teams trying to “upgrade the fan experience” with the most focus group shit imaginable makes watching them struggle even more frustrating.

“Wow look at these crazy Europeans waving bananas around.” “Ok so you see those A&M fans in jean overalls? Ok so the midnight before each game they tell jokes and well let me show you a video”

We think world soccer is unique with so many weird fan bases and then you watch an A&M game and you realize soccer fans have barely scratched the surface.

I don’t want to give my three week old son credit for fixing spurs but no one else could do it so who else could it have been

Wife is asking why I’m not turning the game off cause it’s over. Not a lot has gone right for spurs for the last two years so I am gonna enjoy watching spurs ole Chelsea at Stamford bridge.

There’s a lot wrong with college sports but I think an underrated problem with the sport are all these coward loser coaches running away from historic rivalries and games fans want because they’re trying to make their record slightly better.

The current format of Big 5 men's basketball will end after this year, and the immediate future has the 5 non-Villanova schools playing round-robin without the Wildcats. Villanova didn't want to keep this format, and another could not be agreed on. Story: www.inquirer.com/college-spor...

inquirer.comBig 5 men’s basketball schools to move forward with round-robin format without Villanova in 2027-28It's possible that a one-day Big 5 Classic tripleheader lives on. But with the current format nearing the end of its contract, Villanova was not interested in keeping with the status quo.

Kevin Willard fucks up, tries to clean it up by being belligerent and incoherent while also lying, shrugs his shoulders and moves on as him team crawls towards another mediocre basketball season.

watching the 4K release of Ronin with frankenheimer's commentary and learning that the car chases in the movie were happening *at speed*. no camera tricks or anything, they were straight up *racing*. "we set up all the actors in high performance driving school so they were used to the speeds."

It’s the only way to use it. The site is unusable on mobile, there are ads between every paragraph and sometimes the page just randomly reloads and you lose where you were. It’s genuinely horrendous and hard to understand in 2026

We need to fire all these people and gut ICE entirely but I hope someone is keeping track of shit like this so they can make sure specific people are getting punished.

Lots of talk about how Maryland needs to financially back their next coach, which is true, but everyone seems to be gliding past how it is also important for them to find someone who is actually a good coach and can make decisions that win games, something we haven’t had for almost 20 years.

At least there isn’t some never was comedian on here clapping like a seal and alluding to how he and Pablo have smoked weed together in a futile attempt to seem edgy

I like all these folks, and I don't even think it's their genuine feelings as much as what role they're being asked to play, but it doesn't help that every media person who went to Maryland basically has to do ritualistic self-flagellation before they can talk about the program

Andrew Emmer@andrewemmer.bsky.social

Is there another program other than Maryland football where the fans and alums cannot wait to tell you how much the program sucks and will never be good? Maybe Indiana pre-Cig? Which is interesting.
