Finished reading: Rise of the Empire : Star Wars : Featuring the Novels Star Wars : Tarkin, Star Wars by John Jackson Miller, James Luceno 📚 I paid no attention to the fact that this book is in fact 2 novels and 3 short stories. Enjoyed the longer than […] [Original post on sackheads.social]

Finished reading: No Better Time by Molly Knight Raskin 📚 I was given this book when it first came out. It’s taken me this long to get around to reading it but I figured the 25th anniversary sneaking up on me was a sign. Good read despite a few technical […] [Original post on sackheads.social]

Old Mate remains with Chicago, and now travels with them to California, hoping to tie up their longest previous reign of 5 defenses (2025 week 3->week 9). California is aiming to take it back from Chicago after losing it to them in week 3 of this season! #mlr2026 oldmate.rugby

MLR's best tradition? A fan drinking from the Old Mate post match.

The Old Mate stays with Chicago. Anthem will travel to make their 5th ever challenge and their 1st for 2026. This will be Chicago’s 4th straight defense - their record is 6. #mlr2026 oldmate.rugby

Old Mate will now travel to Seattle with Chicago. Seattle have won it 7 times, with 8 failed challenges. The last time Seattle challenged Chicago for it, they won 28-22 in week 10 of 2025. They most recently lost it to New England in week 16 of that season […] [Original post on sackheads.social]

The Old Mate travels to Nashville this weekend! Can Chicago hold it or will New England force it to change hands for the 3rd time this season in only week 4? #mlr2026 #rugby oldmate.rugby

This post has a limited audience. Possibly only me. I created a TRMNL plugin for tracking the Old Mate. Get it here: trmnl.com/recipes/272514

The Old Mate is a hot potato. 36% of holders lose it immediately, and most teams don’t survive more than a couple of defenses. If you’ve got it, it probably won’t be yours for long. We’ll be watching California Legion! #MLR2026 oldmate.rugby

Eight clubs claimed the Old Mate on their very 1st challenge, and 3 more got there on their 2nd try. But not everyone had an easy path: Old Glory needed four shots, Chicago needed 6, and Houston had to wait 7 challenge matches before finally getting their […] [Original post on sackheads.social]

Now that football season is over (although it feels like only yesterday…) I’m sure many of my friends and neighbors are already missing the thrill of watching a team compete to move a ball into their opponent’s end of the field or perhaps kick it between two […] [Original post on sackheads.social]

On March 13th I was lucky enough to be able to get into Boston Logan and witness the New England Free Jacks be recognized in the Terminal C Hall of Champions with banners raised for the 2023 and 2024 MLR championships. #WeWantThree threads.net/@nefreejacks

Even more professional rugby in the Boston area? You bet! Can’t wait to get to a Banshees match! 2 games at the familiar Fort Quincy and 2 in convenient Pawtucket! 🏉
