SEN ERIC SCHMITT: What if I told you I had proof that you were at a Pavement concert in Atlanta that night? JACK SMITH: I have no memory of seeing Pavement in Atlanta. SEN KLOBUCHAR: Could he have been at a Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks show in Baltimore? JACK SMITH: I was definitely at that show.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

Manchester City FC should read the room and self-relegate to League 2. That'd make it easy for the PIF to auction off all the high-priced talent, bank the fees and sell the club. Sportswash complete.

Are they really calling the upcoming shortened MLS spring season the "Sprint Season"? What won't they turn into a marketing opportunity? Was AT&T or T-Mobile not interested? Why not call it the "Swift Season"? Get Tay-Tay on board as a new owner & just sell out completely, you feckless lumps.

Celebrated the life of Paul Oberjuerge in Long Beach, Calif. on Sunday alongside more than 20 former staffers of The Sun sports dept. If you can, go back and read some of his columns and/or take a look around at oberjuerge.com. Probably his gen's most erudite sportswriter, PaulO was one of one.

Really, though, Faye hasn't been home or seen her parents or siblings in more than two years and isn't risking stepping in a U.S. airport or traveling w/o the team. Homesick & a little heartbroken by the changing geopolitical landscape, she moves forward. "You just deal with it," Faye said.

Matías was detained trying to fly to L.A. for this most recent UPSL National Finals. He was with teammates but they made an example out of him, holding him for 20 days. It's unlikely national finals exist at the amateur level after this. Maybe that's hyperbolic but why risk it?
