The Toyota radio/podcast ad about trucks that ends with the announcer saying “Truckin’ A” is my personal Liberty Biberty. (That any ad is allowed to basically say Fuckin’ A just makes me feel weird.)

I try to mostly stick to my lanes when it comes to sports. I admittedly do not watch very much basketball (men’s or women’s) so if this thought has been done to death please ignore: Has anyone called Sophie Cunningham “JK Fouling” yet?

This place could cure what ails me while also giving Legionnaires disease

A pretty even match outside of the penalty, but still one that went the way it should have. Gotta rebound with our match in hand.

It’s hard to be mad about the result of a soccer match when you’re driving home wearing a cow costume. But somehow I manage.

I like how ABC goes into great detail about how communications have been adapted to accommodate the Secret Service, and then their previously flawless audio goes completely to shit #TEXvsTENN

"We always joke that the spreadsheets resoundingly told us, ‘Don't do this.' ... I never forget Pete [Trevisani] saying, ‘Ron, sometimes you’ve just got to ignore the spreadsheets." How did New Mexico United become a #USL-C phenomenon? Let Ron Patel explain. www.uslchampionship.com/news_article...

Ian Henderson scores a brace to put Rochdale up 3-1 late, only for Liverpool U21 to score their own set of two goals in stoppage to end the match 3-3.

What’s holding New Mexico back? My insistence on watching all 100 minutes of their matches

Why is the American universe so afraid of equality

I despise that every sport is now Zaprudered to pieces. If you can’t see it in live action, maybe it shouldn’t be decided by frame-by-frame dissection.

I’ve never needed a yellow card to happen more than for Hartford’s manager:

The following individuals enter the upcoming matches one caution away from their eighth yellow card of the season and a one-game suspension for caution accumulation.

Here is the breakdown per club:
-Birmingham Legion FC (1): Seth Antwi
- El Paso Locomotive FC (1): Arturo Ortiz
- Hartford Athletic (1): BRENDAN BURKE
- Lexington SC (1): Phillip Goodrym
- Tampa Bay Rowdies (1): Max Schneider
- FC Tulsa (1): Jamie Webber

I've never seen this from ANY USL team before in any USL league, but Tampa Bay Sun just released a post with all contract lengths for all players. This is the kind of thing I've been hoping for for years. www.tampabaysunfc.com/news/2026/09...

I’d completely forgotten that USLC didn’t have all of their teams in this year (although it felt like NMU weren’t in it given their quality in the two matches they featured in)

Wait, you can have both of your teams lose on the same day? I hate that.

The only good thing about Rochdale losing is that it opens up the path for NM United to win tonight. Balance in all things. ☯️

I think my favorite Mac of all-time (my 2014 MacBook Pro 13") is close to done - noticing that the lid isn't flush with the bottom when closed, and it's wobbly when I type (so the bottom is distended, so the battery is dying, so it's a 12-year-old laptop). Sad times.

Not often you learn about news via AM radio, but that’s how I learned about Dolly Parton now. 😔

This match was fascinating as a study in how to burn the clock from a disadvantaged position - not the greatest advertisement for the beautiful game, but a terrific collective defensive effort
