Big Trophies
It always amazes me how the size of the trophy almost perfectly is inversely proportional to the prestige of the trophy. I mean the World Cup trophy is tiny, the NFL championship, the World Series trophies, and NBA are not big. Stanley cup is a bit of an anomaly. Same with the Borg Warner but then y...

Fucking long day yesterday. Up at 5 to Philly to watch my son row in terrible conditions. Finish that and then drove 30 miles south of DC to catch my daughter's solo at the dance competition she had all weekend (which I was at until 11 pm on Sat).

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Really interesting game in DC tonight. Nick Jensen gets absolutely hamblasted into the boards by a TBL dude. Jensen is like.. dead? I dunno. coma maybe? After lengthy review... no foul. Which... Huh... Ok. Not losing my mind as it wasn't a straight-up egregious boarding. Still. To some of the point...

Jose Maria rocking Tan on Tan out there. That is a whole lot of khaki.
Also I don't have the volume on..what happened with Bubba on the par 3. Did he lose his ball in the growth above the bunker or just had an unplayable shot and had to take the penalty and go back?

Re: Major League Soccer (MLS) 2024
I don't think having a team of ringers play in the US Open Cup (I e turning it.into the Tournament) is what US Soccer wants either. Just helps Don G argue he does not need his first teams to show up. That being said it is fun to see Landon, BWP, and such lace them up. https://theathletic.com/5387692...

So conflicted about this. This will take great writing...but Neeson as Nielson is an interesting choice. Based on his scene in Ted I am sure he can pull it off.

It’s the UFL now but Michigan beat St Louis 18-16 yesterday on a walk off 64-yard FG from a former Texas State kicker who hadn’t attempted a FG since high school.

Re: The Baltimore Key Bridge collapse on 695
So just a quick lookup on the history...opened in 1977 and took 5 years to build. So how long will it take to reopen? I am still amazed at how fast Atlanta got the collapse taken care of after the collapse a few years ago.

It looked to me like Gio and Pulisic hustled back to stop counter attacks after losing the ball. Pulisic is usually a whiney pain in the butt when he gets fouled (or thinks he should get a call).
