Re: 2024 NFL MOCK DRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA
I almost entirely avoid all of the pre-draft nonsense, so maybe this wasn't surprising to others, but I couldn't believe when I checked and saw that the Steelers got Peyton Wilson with their 4th pick. That dude is a beast! You obviously never know how these things will turn out, but I'd say Pittsbur...

For reference: that's a lyric from a new Taylor Swift song. It led people to Google her childhood home. It's a really nice home. Shocker. https://trending.knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/where-did-the-catchphrase-you-wouldnt-last-an-hour-in-the-asylum-where-they-raised-me-come-from-the-tortured-...

Re: The Autism Thread

He called when when he got the first pitch call from the O’s and told me he was getting “called up”! Well that's just awesome. Good for you, bfj, and go...

Re: EPL 2023-24
That was ugly. The midfield trio of Enzo, Caicedo, and Gallagher has been soft defensively all year. When you pair them with Badiashile in the back, the sieve becomes a gaping wound. I told my son after the last game he played that he should never don a Chelsea shirt again. But then we started him o...

And kudos to those kids. That takes a lot of guts. All of that, actually.

Re: More Backroom Deals Than Tammany Hall - A Youth Soccer Tale
When I coached my boys in rec soccer, I mapped out the lineups and sub patterns ahead of time, because it's too hard during the games. I'd have my assistant use the sheet and run a timer. Of course, that was often difficult too, because invariably a kid or two wouldn't show or would show up late. I ...

Holy shit, Cole Palmer. Thank you, City! And with his 4th goal, he's now tied with Haaland for first in the PL! Nobody would have guessed that anyone on Chelsea would be challenging for that. He's also one assist shy of tying the league lead there as well. Hell of a season for the Brit-looking lad!
