While I think this seems like not actually a very hard scheduling problem to fix, I personally enjoy that the Dream are procrastinators like me and are like “fuck we have another home game?”

Going to be impossible to evaluate him but I enjoy that Dundon got crucified for not hiring Thiago Splitter at a big salary when this Bulls team looks worse than any tanking team in the past 3 years with decidedly more talent

Looks similar in magnitude to MLS when they trialed the rules (and MLSNP)

New rule changes in soccer are speeding up play, but one of them may be working too well - WOW it is quite eye opening to see the effect of the 1-minute off rule in action. I didn't expect it would be this drastic www.expectinggoals.com/p/new-rules-...

Career MLS and NWSL is just a who's who of ballers.

Goofing around with a metric on players who are good at receiving the ball and able to turn and play forward (and passers who enable it). Here's my first simple pass, just forward pass (>5m and < 45 degrees from center) + forward action. There's too many wide players so I gotta play with it.

Honestly super gas that I have a folder of data and say hey Claude I was thinking about this on my way home, can you check? Go eat a croissant and check my laptop and have an answer

ACL-MCL/achilles injuries are way up in all sports. Current leading hypothesis is that as athletes have become more specialized, earlier (multi sport athletes are exceedingly rare past 13-14 now) and youth sport becomes increasingly professionalized (more formal games) their bodies are less durable.

Mohamed@moesquare.bsky.social

A lot of it is that the game is so demanding on the lower body with the amount of stop & start sprints players are doing, but idk, maybe there's something to do with the shoes too at this point

The same day I had my ACL surgery was some hot shot local basketball player who got told by the surgeon “yeah when we got in there it was a bit of a mess. Probably some other damage that had healed over that we didn’t know about”

My Nashville take watchinf them live for the first time is that I think Palacios Woledzi Schwake have had the best combined CB CB GK season of all time. They are freakishly talented.

Every time I come to the Bay I don’t really understand how so many of the worlds best universities are here. I would have a negative GPA and spend exactly 13 seconds a year in my office as a grad student.

Wish I could filter hotels by the height of the shower head. I’m a regular tall height guy, not Victor Wembanyama, this shower head should not be at my nipples.
