@sarahspain.com with announcement that NWSL won’t change schedule until at least 2030: 2 questions come to mind. 1) who were stakeholders and 2) why do you think they picked 2030? Because CBA goes through 12/2030?

Am I mad or grateful that sheels discounted women’s Olympic hockey hockey gear but not men’s? Well I bought it anyway because I wanted it

@nicolehaase.bsky.social help me? At the Frost game, we go on a power play as Boston retaliates. But I can’t tell what Frost player was involved in the original play where we knock a Boston player on her kiester. Can you identify? (Dad/soccer coach always said the retaliator always gets caught!)

I know it’s men’s sports and all but I’m about the alanis morossette irony of Venezuela beating US in the Baseball classic. Who does Trump call and what can he say… @sarahspain.com Apparently we _didn’t threaten_ them?

I’m still mad they didn’t name the Boston team the Cove. The fan club could have been the Coven. It’s just killing me

⚽️NWSL SEASON PREVIEW!⚽️ ESPN’s @jeffkassouf.bsky.social on what to expect from the league’s 16(!) teams, the biggest offseason storylines, the simplest explanation of the HIP rule & the league hitting ‘peak freak’ mode as players left for other leagues. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

@sarahspain.com my middle daughter will be mid sentence, IN A CAR, see a dog outside and say in a completely different voice “oh hey baby” to every dog. EVERY DOG. I may or may not get human grandkids from my 3 kids but I will have grandpuppers! Dog tax

#USAHOCKEY I’m prepared to turn off TV should I need to. I watched all other games late so if necessary I will take one for the team

@byalexazzi.bsky.social I have a question about serious injuries in the Olympics. So since Europe actually had reasonable health care in most nations, do the athletes get European health care or how does that work? Since Vonn is on her third surgery most of these athletes aren’t raking in

Let’s go!!! I’m ready! Texas Tech is going all the way

If Indiana can dark horse to win (really - who though Indiana was going to win this back in August besides maybe their moms) can the Dems or someone please find the right freakin dark horse ?

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Indiana, which spent a century-plus buried so dimly in the American football consciousness that it seemed less an afterthought than not really a thought at all, won the national college football championship Monday night.

Love a podcast that can one day interview an athlete about an esoteric sport, another day, help you pick a fav team in a new league, and walk you through the economics of an established league’s CBA on a third day. And bring bite sized bites around women’s sports _every _ day!

“Hey dad listen to 85er podcast” and over dinner we talked a bit as he started it. Hasn’t finished all of it and I said wait till you find out they arent eligible for HoF. Now he’s ready to ride at dawn because he knows there’s no US soccer without these women. Where do we write? Where do we protest

We ride at dawn. Or noon. Or dusk. I don’t care. We ride for Michelle and everyone else! I remember the 85ers! My dad still speaks of Michelle and her toughness and amazing skills. I’m 8 in ‘85 and a soccer player; my whole identity is soccer player. These women - ALL OF THEM - MUST be in the HoF

I ❤️ the idea of a coffee house turned bar-ish thing. As an ex-Philly girl turned Minnesotan who sent my girl back to college in Philly I laughed HARD at the water ice discussion. @jenleary.bsky.social do you like jimmies on your ice cream?

I finally tracked down a pair of datasets and put them together. This is Deloitte’s 2025 valuation of the wealthiest clubs in Europe, and Forbes’s 2025 valuation of NWSL. Kansas City Current’s estimated annual revenue is bigger than Barcelona & Chelsea combined.

Don’t know if I have enough of reach. My has an Achilles heel of not getting her alarms right. Told her I’m not going to yell but instead change the environment and not her. So… she has different start times during the week. What’s a good alarm. Also - how does she stay on track once she’s up?

Immediately looking for tourneys in Springfield IL in August for some reason :) Meanwhile girl-fanning on Becky between her interview, and how all of her players talk about her. When’s her book coming out?
