Re: Getting the spins

35 years after forming, Pavement has their first RIAA gold certification for “Harness Your Hopes”, a song that was actually left off their final record and only released in 2008 as part of the expanded re-releases of their albums.

Re: USMNT - 2026 Cycle - "Early Days"

Only 1 mid or forward from an MLS club. You love to see it.

ETA: Not a knock on MLS mind you but our best players need to be playing in Europe. And actually playing not sitting.

I feel like not much is made about the unique timeframe WNBA rookies have to adjust to when joining the league.

I think that’s both fair (it is probably considered the 4th prestigious of the majors), unfair (it usually has the best field as far as top 100 players year-in and year-out) and the result of laziness in not wanting to start a new thread.

Apparently the odds were 47 percent which is frankly fucking insane. Look I’m against tanking but it should be almost impossible to have the worst record in the league two years in a row and pick 5th two years in a row.
