Mi primera columna en @elespectador.com del año Cristiano Ronaldo seguramente llegará a 1.000 en partidos oficiales antes de retirarse. Messi igual. A Pelé, en partidos oficiales, ya ambos lo superaron. Pero no. Pelé sí anotó más de 1.000 goles, válidos. golyfutbol.com/post/2026/01...

wagesofwins.substack.com/p/the-so-cal... Once upon a time, an economist who got a prize in Sweden told us that if college athletes were paid like employees that competitive balance would be harmed. Apparently the prize didn't grant someone knowledge of basic sports economics!

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

For the last 4 years and 8 months I've been running an online seminar series: ROSES = Reading Online Sport Economic Seminars. It's brought me a huge amount of joy - new connections, fascinating people, great opportunities. I've been posting about it on Twitter up to now. Time now to start here...
