Kevin Kelsy will travel to formalize final details + undergo medical and complete his $13m move to Rangers once he receives his visa Portland will be active in final week of window but can use up to four U-22 slots by the winter and will be very agressive on that front

What do you do at work? Oh, you know, just find old newspaper articles about pro baseball players jumping into the stands to retrieve a ball and it ending with a gun being brandished (Shoutout Newspapers.com and the 1894 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

Unless something has changed in the Laws of the Game (always possible), this is an auto red card when done by a manager. The Casey Stoney Rule.

The imbalance in the 'touches in the opposition's penalty box' is now up to 55-3 as the match reaches injury time. Absurd. Toluca are ferocious.

This is such a cynical view of data's use in the game. Like, yeah, momentum can confirm what you already know or describe what you missed, but this argues that is... a bad thing? The argument is that momentum is a tool for ads, a reflection of the AI-ification of the industry. But that's just wrong.

6 - Six players ranked outside the ATP top 50 have reached the Men's Singles R16 at Roland Garros this year – the most at a single Grand Slam event since the ATP rankings were first published in 1973. Upside-down. #RolandGarros | @rolandgarros.com
