Watching other kickers plausibly attempt field goals from 60, and even 70 yards, while my team employs Cairo Santos:

Squidward stares longingly out his window at SpongeBob and Patrick frolicking outdoors. Squidward's ennui is palatable as he silently questions whether he is indeed spending his finite time under the sea in the best way. He presumably holds a big brown drink offscreen.

RIP Bob Pettit, who was a legend and also featured prominently in one of the best twitter threads ever

That's right Maxx Crosby sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/...

Screenshot of a Maxx Crosby quote on Caleb Williams reaction to his hamstring injury that reads:

"You know, everyone has an opinion about 'oh, why do you react this way to this certain type of thing?' He might have never pulled a hammy in his life.

"I've had one hammy thing a while back and, like, that s*** will freak you the f*** out when it first happens. In his head, he probably imagined, like, 'Oh s***. Something really bad just happened.' And you have all these emotions and things going on."

Via @kevin-kaduk.com comes this Wisconsin state fair souvenir. Some Thoughts: 1) the whole stadium saga, as a Bears fan from northern Indiana who now lives in NOLA, means nothing to me 2) I love the art, unironically. I'd wear this as a hoodie.

Title Card: "SEEING RED" INT. CAFE NERVOSA

Dialogue:

NILES: So, how was the game?

FRASIER: Awful, Niles. The defense had bigger holes than a wheel of Emmentaler, the keeper produced more horrific moments than a high school production of Equus, and Pulisic folded like an imitation Rembrandt under the eye of an expert appraiser.

NILES: Yes, Daphne and I caught some of it on television. The Belgians haven't run as rampant over everything in their path since colonial Africa.

FRASIER: It wasn't all bad, though. Dad did have a lovely time. In fact, he befriended a band of Belgian brothers who were sitting behind us. He invited them all to McGinty’s.

NILES: Well that’s not too surprising. Dad loves waffles, they love beer. A match made in heaven.

FRASIER: Yes, indeed. But, I'm glad. For a man who couldn't tell Messi from Mozart, he certainly enjoyed himself. Although he still struggles with the histrionics. You know Dad hates to see a man embellish an injury.

NILES: Yes, of course. I remember a time I fell when I was seven years old. I thought I'd broken my arm and Dad just said to ‘Rub some dirt on it.’ Oh the look of disappointment on his face as I cried.

FRASIER: He was disappointed because you were crying at the prospect of rubbing dirt on your new turtleneck.

NILES: It was CASHMERE! And I was unfamiliar with the idiom.

Zero chance Gregg, Arena, or Jurgen get this as right as Poch does here. (50/50 on Bradley.) www.nytimes.com/athletic/742...

Screenshot of a quote from Pochettino saying:

For me, there isn’t much debate here, though I do understand Belgium’s perspective and Rudi’s point of view,” Pochettino told reporters. “I understand why people conflate issues — people always do, because there’s often an agenda to mix things up — but in this case, I don’t think it’s right.

“If anyone was harmed in this whole situation, it was the United States. Can anyone justify the idea that we weren’t punished? I mean, playing 30 or 35 minutes a man down in a World Cup knockout match? It’s not as if we’re benefiting. No, no. There’s no extraordinary gain we’re getting out of all this. I mean, ultimately, we aren’t victims, but we aren’t the villains of this story either.”

Paraguayan anthem lyrics go very hard

Lyrics to the Paraguayan anthem via Wiki:

"The peoples of the Americas, unfortunately,
Were oppressed for three centuries by a scepter
But one magnificent day surging forth,
"Enough!", it said, and the scepter was broken.
Our fathers, grandiose in battle,
Showed their martial glory;
𝄆 And after smashing the august diadem,
The triumphal cap was raised. 𝄇

Chorus:
Paraguayans: Republic or Death!
Our spirit gave us liberty
𝄆 Neither oppressors nor slaves exist
Where union and equality reign, 𝄇
𝄆 union and equality. 𝄇
"
