Watching the husker game late now. The terps player who made the sushing motion just indicated with a few minutes left in the second quarter that it was their offense that was now quiet. They were done scoring for the day

My life drastically improved when I replaced almost all soda with sparkling flavored water because I then started to associate carbonated beverages with the thought of someone who just ate a real fruit burping into a can because that's what they taste like

It's interesting how much people seem to hate on the Kansas City Chiefs and say they are cheating and secretly coordinating with the NFL and refs. It reminded me of how I felt about

I'm pumped about Greece getting their first win ever against Germany today. It's astounding they're leading the group right now.

As much as I love to read hundreds of words from random people saying what's wrong with soccer in America and how to fix it, I'm just gonna keep kicking the ball around with my kids, challenge them to juggle competitions, have fun 1v1s, play FC on console, watch MLS, NWSL, PL, learn skills.

Fans of other teams losing this week: "FIFA is corrupt, VAR is terrible, refs are awful, we're proud of our teams for what they have accomplished" Fans of USMNT: "We suck"

I don't want to hear that we need to convert America's best athletes to play soccer. We have 3 million plus kids playing soccer, many at very high levels.

Here's a thought. If you can't shoot off fireworks without the litter of the leftover rockets falling all over your neighbor's roofs and yards, maybe you shouldn't be doing it.

I took my family to the Netherlands v Tunisia game tonight. Due to circumstances beyond my control, we left the Northland right before 5. I had a parking pass and we were in our seats right at 6. I'm astounded.

I had a weird dream where I was carrying around right in my hands some raw steaks I had just seasoned, but I had no place to put them down because every surface was covered by stuff my kids had just left everywhere

Look, FIFA fans from all over the world complaining about the cost of trying to see their teams in the world cup just don't want to work hard enough. Here in America, we try to find unique alternatives to raise funds to support our team. Make sure to Google inspirational NFL superfan ChiefsAholic

If you have all of these channels and streaming services, you'll find that it costs approximately three and a half dollars more than when you just had and paid for cable 15 years ago

As an American football fan and fan of Arsenal, I'm having a hard time reconciling the weird frustration and hate this club is receiving. An NFL or NCAAF team that plays as good defense as them would be lauded and celebrated for their skill and season. It's very disorienting.

I've seen all my favorite local sports teams win a championship in my lifetime. And now they're all arguing about building new stadiums or just doing terrible. I think they should just all be shut down and where they played shuttered.

Been trying to read a lot of books and watch movies generally considered to be great or classic. Some I've enjoyed. Others, I've realized I didn't like and immediately stopped and moved on to something else. Nobody should waste free time on crap they don't like.

The past few weeks, I've really noticed the high fidelity of quality information available on this platform when it comes to world events and some sports. I really need the weather people to get over here from that other place. Still have a quality private feed of relevant weather info there.

As I barricade my front door, I see the telltale gold and green flashing lights and black and green uniforms. "We know you have it in there with you! We're here to confiscate it!" "But you gave this to me! I'm a gold member forever!"

I have been a Nebrasketball fan for a long time. I remember watching Piatowski and Lue on TV. Made my own fan t-shirts in college (student season tickets $25! They were a punch card!). This was a nice day for the Huskers and I'm hoping there's a few more wonderful moments before the season's end.

Fellow Arsenal fans, don't let the media, other coaches, other clubs fans, pundits do this. I'm a Chiefs fan here in the US and when everyone changed the narrative to "the refs are helping the team win and the Chiefs are cheaters", it derailed their championship opportunity.

Nothing as consistent as Arsenal winning set piece goals and Chelsea earning red cards this season

Well, come Sunday right after noon my local time, either my son or I will be crying and throwing a temper tantrum. London derby of Arsenal v Chelsea will leave one or both of us unhappy (draw is possibly the worst outcome)

These folks talking about how unique and invigorating an experience to watch big sports on an early weekend morning are amateurs. I've been watching Premier League on Saturdays and Sundays for 15 years now. You got your coffee, eggs, bacon, and maybe pastry fired up early. It's awesome.

Tom Cudd @tomcudd.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

I hate it when life is like this for a couple days: sleep 7.5 hours, eat rice/fruits/veggies/good protein, lift weights, do a bit of cardio, low stress (no work long weekend, in between kids activities). Because then I feel amazing and know that's all it takes.

I played cards with family during halftime show. Just watched it this morning. It was interesting. I liked Lady Gaga, also the strings. A generally fun spectacle. I wasn't a fan of bad Bunny before and probably still won't be now. Listened to a little of his music this morning, too. Just not my jam.

I love sports so much! This is an incredible weekend. My kids play their youth games, there's PL soccer on, there's winter Olympics, and then the biggest football game of the year. I'm the kind of guy who stares at the screen if there's any sport on it. Golf, cornhole, cricket, rugby, anything
