My favorite soccer team has Aubrey Kingsbury, and I love that for me 🙌

Momentary return to social to post this incredible story by @jourdanrodrigue.bsky.social about Logan Paulsen and the TE position. It captures the essence of Logan, his love of football, and who he is. Absolutely loved reading a story by my friend about my friend. www.nytimes.com/athletic/673...

Personal news - today will be my last show on @team980.bsky.social. In many ways this show has been a dream come true, and I wouldn’t be leaving if I wasn’t pursuing something even bigger. I will announce what that is at 4pm today. Thank you everyone for listening over the years. See you at 4!

Trinity Rodman is inevitable. Whatever your list of clutch athletes is, she’s on it. Comes back after months off and scores a go ahead goal in stoppage time? It’s both expected and unbelievable all at the same time.

VAMOS SANTOS 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 This game is unhinged. And between the NWSL Final and this game, clearly Leicy has had enough of Marta 😂😂😂

I mean at this point this feels like a threat as much as a wish!

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

Marta. Of course. Who else?! What an absolutely silly game of soccer. This is why this sport rocks when you’re a neutral and is the absolute bane of your existence when you root for a side 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Hello. It's me. Someone who has been very quiet for the last month as he did way too much traveling. But I am back, and I come with gifts! First, I'm back on the radio today and will go very deep into the Terry contract situation, and talk about the RFK vote. Also...

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

Just when I thought I've heard the dumbest possible take on this situation....*stares blankly into the void* I mean this is so stupid, I literally had to turn the sound on for the clip to make sure he wasn't misquoted or out of context. I just. Wow.

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 15/07/2025

Another home run by the Harris group retiring Art Monk’s number. Not only an incredible player, but a phenomenal person who is often forgotten because of his quiet nature. Congrats 81, a number that rightfully will never be worn by anyone in burgundy & gold ever again.

Question for the people because I do not understand: Currently on a plane, stuck at my departure gate because of weather. Why would they have put us on the plane, knowing we can’t take off? Also, what are the rules on letting us off the plane/cancelling/etc?

250

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

I don’t know which league started the trend of not showing replays on challenges when you’re at a game but it’s gotta stop. The people who have the least idea of what’s going on in a game shouldn’t be the people there. It passes absolutely no logic test.

2211

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

This game is being officiated in a way that’s VERY favorable to OKC. They’re letting a lot go. Extremely physical. It’s not uneven. It’s not biased. It’s not bad. It’s just much more up the Thunder’s alley, and Indiana needs to find a way to get a flow through all that contact or they are toast.

030

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

There’s literally no wind up, follow through, or non-basketball play. That’s an absolute joke of a flagrant call. The techs are fine to control the game, but that in no way to any human with eyes and an understanding of the English language does that meet the criteria for a flagrant foul.

All the things said in yesterday’s emergency pod with @838carlisle.bsky.social still stand. Including that this, for the Spirit on a football basis, is mostly fine. Adrian was arguably a better NWSL coach than Jona in their respective stints. However there are MANY other questions to be answered

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

Brunson does so much non-sense when refs aren’t looking. He just grabbed Mathurin’s jersey as they ran down the floor knowing the refs were already looking ahead. Did a bunch of it last game, too. Never noticed it before then. Is this a new thing, or a new thing to me?

010

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

Wish CBS showed more replay angles on the no calls/calls late. We got one look at the Bonner no call, no good looks at the Clark no call, and one look at the Hull foul that might not have been. Heck of a game though. Those teams are in the same tier. Gonna be a fun year.

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

Something that’s SO striking about the Pacers down the stretch last night: They don’t stop playing their brand of basketball late in the games. They move the ball. They have different guys handle it. They keep the pressure on high. They don’t turn into iso doo doo ball, and it’s glorious.

Tamerra Griffin with another banger. The NWSL is counting on Alex Cooper to bring more fans to the NWSL. The first Unwell FC activation sold 150 tickets. www.nytimes.com/athletic/636... NWSL’s Unwell FC and Alex Cooper partnership: An ‘incredible platform’ to grow the game or a risk?

"Of course I recognize that there are some people out there who don't love everything she does, and that's OK," she said during a press conference held during halftime of the game. "We see the partnership as an incredible opportunity to grow our audience, and I think all of us in this room and everyone who's in that stadium wants more women's soccer fans. We want more people to know who the NWSL is and Alex Cooper wants to do that."

Did you know that there is video of the actual NBA Draft Lottery? I did not until I saw some snippets from @zachlowenba.bsky.social, and I feel like that’s an EPIC failure by the league not to promote the heck out of it for everyone who says “WHY CAN’T WE SEE?!” www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCxg...

The Mystics recover from a brutal start to still score 90 pts, win, and start the season 2-0. Last year they started 0-12, and didn’t have their 2nd win until June 14th.

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

On Friday, Jamila Wideman told me “we think Soni was a steal at 3.” Through two games, that feels correct. Kid’s a do everything baller.

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

If you enjoy NWSL “this game is drunk” chaos…Spirit vs Royals is absolutely hammered. We are 22 minutes in.

Ashley Hatch, professional goal scorer, with an absolute banger. I’ve seen her practice that a thousand times. Just impeccable execution.

0103

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

Soni was so damn good last night. Her and Kiki both had moments they’ll learn from - small things like how quickly things happen, and how much force is required in this league. But they both showed so much promise and so much “I’m ready to play right now.”

Very fun and busy day to close out the week: we're broadcasting live from CareFirst Arena ahead of the Mystics opener today. Because of that scheduling, no WoSo Show today. However I AM talking with Hal Hershfelt in a few minutes and will put that interview out ASAP! cc: @838carlisle.bsky.social

Welp. Fun while it lasted for the #Caps. Kinda a magical year, but alas it ends like many other magical Capitals seasons. Earlier than they’d hoped in the playoffs 😕

0171

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

#Mystics will open their season tomorrow without Aaliyah Edwards (low back contusion) and Shakira Austin (lower leg). Edwards should be back soon. Austin showed up on the injury report before the 1st preseason game as questionable, didn't play, and hasn't been available since.

010

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

#Commanders schedule is definitely tough, but we knew that. Clearly the league expects them to be good. With 8 standalone games, and others at 4p - the lack of rhythm to their season could be a big challenge. With @jpfinlaydc.bsky.social//our instant reaction: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Brunson fouled White with his face. You can’t put your face in the way of a layup anymore than you can put your arm there. That’s a great challenge and a proper overturn.

The way things are going for Dallas in the luck dept right now, sure?! Why not?!

030

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

The NBA has become such a survival game in recent years. For all the old heads who talk about how the game is “soft” or whatever, it’s more physically demanding than ever. The league would be healthier on a shorter schedule. I doubt it ever gets a serious look, but should.

0333

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

My dream was to have Bueckers and Flagg in DC. Based on the odds, my dream made sense. I love the players the Mystics got, and there are A LOT worse drafts to be picking 6th in, but damn. Dallas really got that. Amazing for the fans, but sheesh.

050

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

My blood is boiling. I genuinely HATE that the Mavs won that. They don’t deserve it. They just punted a superstar. Punched their fans in the balls. Just absolutely do not deserve this in any way, shape, or form.

1242

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

The literal worst possible outcome. The only way this happened is if the Wizards AND the Jazz both lost all four lotteries for the top four picks. Just an absolutely absurd thing. If Dallas wins this thing, I’m gonna lose my f’ing mind.

5122

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

Things that have happened more recently than a White-American dude being the #1 pick: The Washington Wizards (née Bullets) won the NBA Championship.

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

It’s never one thing, but Hal being out is massive. Her being at the 6 eliminates a lot of the tracking problems, as well as the closing down issues. Also puts Bernal back as a CB, which is the best version of the Spirit. Obviously Andi’s not coming back, but her absence + Hal explains a lot.

1131

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

This is an absolute joke that they are looking at this. If they actually call a penalty here, I’m gonna get a red card from my couch in DC.

0150

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

The Spirit just have a defensive problem. They don’t close attackers down. They don’t track runners well. I don’t know how much of this is formation vs personnel, but it’s a real problem.

290

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

The #Celtics offense down the stretch was embarrassing. In their final six possessions they had one pass in the front court, and it was in semi-transition. So that’s ZERO passes in their half-court offense in their final six possessions. Might’ve been worse, but started paying attention to it then

050

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

That was a battle of bad execution. Just an absurd lack of urgency from the Celtics running into the Knicks getting lucky as hell on fouling.

Craig Hoffman @craighoffman.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

This isn’t 1/1000th of the stuff Dan did and Dan wouldn’t have hesitated to do this. Dan gave to his inauguration. An actual supporter. Harris is playing politics. I don’t like it, but he may not have much of a choice unless he wants to lose the draft, lose RFK, and pick a fight with these fools.
