Still have a twitter account but would like to migrate away from that hellscape. Here to talk Manchester City and Syracuse sports as well as all the DC sports teams most notably the Commanders. Married with 3 children.

Can someone in the KC area help a brother out? I'd love to get the Zimmerman decanter found at this thrift store. I find a way to pick it up this fall/winter and pay you for your time. www.google.com/maps/place/F...

American sports scandals are "you secretly spent more money than everyone else" and English sports scandals are "you secretly spent as much money as the teams that are supposed to spend more than everyone else"

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

"These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence." –@michaeldweiss.bsky.social
Screenshot of a quote-tweet by @michaeldweiss dated 27 Sep 2026. The original tweet is from "Sigal Chattah" (@Chattah4Nevada), and reads "Love is in the air [two heart emojis] Congrats [champagne emoji] to our amazing @AlinaHabba & @turhanmildoin [three emojis showing the Hamsa, a blue hand with an eye in it]." That text appears above a picture showing Kash Patel, Alina Habba, and others at a wedding ceremony. In his quote-tweet, Michael Weiss writes: "Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence."

Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/kQdKbY1

Under a new rule, if your degree doesn’t make enough money, you won’t be able to get a student loan.

Mike Kaye - Panthers beat writer @mikekayefootball.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Devin Lloyd single-handedly outscored the #Falcons, 6-3, on Sunday. The #Panthers linebacker had more interception return yards (69) than Atlanta WR Drake London and TE Kyle Pitts had combined receiving yards (66). And his teammates were in awe: www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Took a closer look at City's schedule. It's actually Liverpool away on Sunday and hosting PSG the following Wednesday. Interestingly, City host Brighton in both the EFL Cup and the PL within three days.

I was born at the wrong time. I could hit at least a 40 yarder at SU. Woody sucks. Missing a 29 yarder is bad for an HS kicker.

Pasqualini was maligned but God he was so much better than what SU has now. A quirky offense like the freeze option is exactly what you need when you aren't pulling in 5 star linemen. I never remember them being so consistently undisciplined then either. Yes, dumb stuff happened but not like this.

Floyd Samba is one hell of a player. With Bouaddi in the midfield I'm assuming Kovacic is the 8 which is more his natural position. Is Samba the 9 or Cherki false nine?
