Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Michael Cox provides - at this point - something like, or perhaps just above, replacement-level tactical insight. He’s probably the best-platformed in-depth tactics writer. It’s a shame (and tbh a little bit funny) that he’s such an insufferable dickhead. 321
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Colts really getting Bailout Penalties more involved in the offense this week. Good adjustment. 000
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 13/09/2026@rodger.bsky.social i need a very in depth analysis into probably the greatest performance in the return game ever….by a guy named Michael Scott. There’s gotta be an Office pun in there somewhere and I know you’re the one to find it 000
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Very amusing moment in this week’s 60 Songs as @harvilla.bsky.social began Remembering Some Guys and my inner monologue went “huh, those are all backup quarterbacks” and then Rob goes “those were all Cleveland Browns quarterbacks.” Delightful. 000
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Busio is a nice player who’s having a nice career but man, this made me a little bit nostalgic for the time he came on the scene and looked like he might be THE dude…also probably the last time Sporting were a serious contender. 000
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 08/09/2026This is why I just do not get how people justify using “X” on a regular basis. You often hear “well, that’s where the *conversation* is happening. Bluesky is merely an echo chamber.” The “conversation” isn’t real, my friend. It is synthetically engineered by a sick person to poison your brain. 110
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I really hope not. Maybe it’s me but i feel like one of soccer’s main appeals is the ever-cycling answer to “what wins games.” There is almost always a trend “counter-punch” available (whereas you couldn’t just make a home run worth less). As a comment mentioned below, the Meat Wall was a glimpse at 110
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 08/09/2026It’s always interesting to me when people decide they’re gonna tap-dance. I wonder if maybe they try it out, and some people clap, and they think “hey, this isn’t so bad.” A couple months, years later they aren’t even sure if they ever liked tap-dancing, but it’s all they know how to do. 100
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Some very deliciously sour grapes quoted within this article. Btw, most of the the MO Supreme Court is made up of appointees of Republican Governors. It’s not even a “politicized” decision! And yet you have the Secretary of State declaring it a “constitutional crisis.” Guy is a looooooooserrrrrrrrr 000
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Pablo Torre really did that. Genuinely can’t believe it. 000
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 29/08/2026BREAD LIKE A BOWL WARMS UP YOUR SOUL ONCE IT WAS RYE BUT NOW IT’S A HOLE Chow down upon the bowl that serves You’re gonna dig the soup de jour 000
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 23/08/2026“I simply would not ever write something racist” Guy doesn’t see the need for editorial oversight. Shocking turn of events! 120
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I woke up early to watch my favorite team in sports utterly disappoint me but as it turns out, there was a higher purpose today. 2241
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 21/08/2026@realmnchiefsfan.bsky.social I know I’ve been Keysor-pilled because as I was watching this I said “man look at Saka’s bend around the edge.” 000

Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 18/08/2026You don’t say! It’s funny to continually see the hand wringing over Bluesky’s user counts when the experience on X is so obviously corrosive. “Oh, but the *conversation* is happening there.” Oh, yeah - famously nuanced and thoughtful conversation happening on the Ol’ Everything App 020
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 17/08/2026“Name your guy.” lol. It’s funny, telling and of course morbidly depressing. 010
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Holy hell that’s an amazing goal. @rodger.bsky.social that’s gotta go in the next Sports! Newsletter. Just checking the opponent real quick and, ah yes. Tale as old as time. 020
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 10/08/2026So many of these types of guys (TCW, TAH, Scott) have found traction pitching basically the same thing: “progressive politics won’t fix what ails us - just ask ME, a man offering mostly anecdotal evidence that woke and MAGA are equal-weighted enemies of progress” 010
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 10/08/2026“Why don’t you say it on a site he’s on” is one of the funniest fake tough lines ever. I can’t believe it’s real. All I can think of is Will Arnett in Let’s Go to Prison showing off his “tough face.” 1111
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 09/08/2026“Are we the baddies?” + “no, it’s the children who are wrong” = this 100
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 05/08/2026It is curious how KS and MO legislatures are so insanely red, and the states reliably vote red in every presidential election. Yet, every time these elected officials put forth an issue-specific statewide amendment or initiative, it gets smoked. Really makes you think. 010
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 18/07/2026One search of “Mainoo” on the ol’ Everything App and I’m reminded why I don’t go back there. It’s just a disgusting place tbh 011
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 14/07/2026People think soccer is a “you need the best guy” sport but this match proved it’s often a “don’t have the worst guy(s)” sport 010
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Look, I know it’s taken me a while to address this but I’d like to thank Andy for a beautifully-written piece. Honored to have been included! 010
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I have a song for anybody new to international football who’s silly enough to take the “Trump made a call” Balogun narrative completely at face value: open.spotify.com/track/5UW4tA...open.spotify.commangetoutWet Leg · moisturizer · Song · 2025 110
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 06/07/2026@dennycarter.bsky.social can’t tell if Bluesky getting every aspect of the Balogun “saga” completely wrong helps or hurts its case as the Official App of Sports. I’m leaning toward helps 000
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 02/07/2026@empiregass.bsky.social @mattdoyle.bsky.social @mgiannone.bsky.social I am sure that you have talked about this at one point, but the recap pod today talking about how 2002 was the high pt for US Soccer (which it was for me as well) made me think…the Mexico Ro16 win likely doesn’t happen with VAR 200
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 02/07/2026@michaelcaley.bsky.social looked at this and said aloud, instinctively, “yep, that’s a paddlin’.” This is (analytical) football heritage @futi.live @johnspacemuller.com 0162
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 02/07/2026(Stares over at a mass of people screaming profanities at one another whilst trapped in a building that is slowly being melted by a Nazi). “Boy, I sure would hate to miss out on all the conversation that’s happening in there.” 000

Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 23/06/2026(Portuguese voice obscured for its protection): “Roberto, we need to make a change for the next match. I think you know what I mean. It involves guy from Al-Nassr.” ROBERTO MARTINEZ: “for sure, Mr. President, I know exactly what you mean. Don’t worry.” 000
Denis Irwin @pj-jr.bsky.social · 16/06/2026PUH-REACH! Experiencing the richness of various cultures and celebrating their differences is what makes the World Cup what it is…and it’s what *actually* makes America great, too. 000
