‘Ted Lasso’ fails to go all-in on women’s soccer, leaving behind its own ‘Believe’ mantra
While the new season hits on the hot talking points in women's soccer, it fails to fully invest in their stories.

I'm watching this morning's Wolves match and the English commentator is referring to the Middlesborough player from the USA whose father used to be the USA coach as "Beralta."

I went the other direction, but I think my head got smaller. I have a Red Sox cap that used to fit and is too big now. Of course, that may also be because I'm older than dirt.

I think MLS expanded itself into mediocrity. I don't want NWSL to follow suit.

Econ 101
Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

Also asked Patão about Amanda Gutierres' minutes & how she's played almost half as much time but produced more than 2x as many goals than the first half of the season. She said Guti has had a back issue that's limited her playing time.

When Heather played for the Breakers, she went on sports talk radio and did an interview of questionable taste. I don't know what that means today but it's a point of information.
