I guess this is getting going, based on this news widely reported this morning: Anthony Gordon from Newcastle to Barcelona https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/2059700708513866116?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

So I know some of us watch NWSL matches regularly. Felt it was time for a thread to talk about it. Out here in LA, my team is Angel City. I've been more than pleasantly surprised at the good start to the season. Even the heartbreaking loss to Orlando tonight (98' goal) doesn't dampen my delight...

I'll get this going with the move of Brennan Johnson from Spurs to Crystal Palace. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c0kej88zvplo

FSG out of the hockey business. Never clear to me what their goal was in this. As a Penguins fan, hoping the new owners have a clearer vision. https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/pittsburgh-penguins-sold-fenway-sports-group-hoffmann-family/

As has been rumoured for the last few weeks, the Pens pulled the trigger on a deal for Tristan Jarry. He's headed to Edmonton. Best wishes to him. Too bad it never quite worked out here. Penguins trade Jarry to Oilers for Skinner, Kulak https://thescore.com/nhl/news/3425551

Surprised I didn't find a thread for this one already. Didn't see much of any of the matches, but was glad to see that Mo helped Egypt qualify for only the fourth time, the first since Russia 2018. And that England qualified (the first UEFA team to do so) without too much trouble. In any case...

Where I get to share my occasional thoughts on this team in transition. And where occasionally others may come and comment (though to be clear, any and all are welcome).

Starting with some unfortunate news. Hopefully, this is nothing too serious https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/penguins-rutger-mcgroarty-sidelined-indefinitely/

Can't begin to explain how happy I was to read he'll pull on a Pens jersey one last time. 🥹 https://heavy.com/sports/nhl/pittsburgh-penguins/marc-andre-fleury-signed-penguins-pto/

Coming into this week, the Pens had their own first round pick (#11), a second-round pick, and three third-round picks among others. Then earlier this week, they had the #12 picked conferred to them, a condition of a deal with Vancouver. The Rangers were to give that pick to the Pens (or one...

Since a couple of deals are, reportedly, close to being done or are already done deals, it seemed right to begin this summer's thread Liverpool are losing Trent Alexander-Arnold, reportedly signing on a free with Real Madrid. In his stead, we are reportedly signing Jeremie Frimprong from Bayer...

Thought I'd have a local paper (but not the Times, whom I'm boycotting) to report on the deal. Thus the Orange County Register. Lakers Trade for Luca Doncic

I missed it last night as we were celebrating (as a family) my eldest daughter's 40th birthday. But I had a number of folks who excitedly pointed out to me about the Nirvana reunion as Dave, Krist and Pat had four different women front a song each from their catalog. 1) Annie Clark (aka St...

Well, if you haven't heard, the New York Mets broke the bank to sign Juan Soto to a record deal: 15 years, $765 million. The $700 million deal Shohei Otani signed just last year has already been shattered. Going to make for an interesting off-season now that Soto has signed...

Haven't done this in awhile. The NBA season kicked off a couple of nights ago. The Celtics raised their 18th banner, then proceeded to thrash the newly-reconstructed contenders New York Knicks. The Lakers became the first team to have a father and son play together in the same game (LeBron James...

A place for me to post my thoughts on our season. And anyone else who wants to can comment. Really. 😁 Open the season with the Rags. I have zero expectations for this largely still aging group. Makes for a weird feeling, one I've not felt since Sid's first season. And even then, there was the...

NFL legend Brett Favre revealed today he's suffering from Parkinson's. ☹️ http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/brett-favre-reveals-he-was-diagnosed-with-parkinsons-disease-while-testifying-before-u-s-congress/

Going to be an interesting year with all the changeover in personnel. Can anyone dethrone the Chiefs? I guess we'll find out.
