Incredible Olympics for Naomi Girma. She played every minute (600) of the Olympics at Center Back and allowed only 2 goals, a USWNT Olympic record! (Plus, the USWNT allowed 0 goals when both Girma & Tierna Davidson were on the pitch!) Best US Olympic defensive performance ever!
EVERY. MINUTE. PLAYED. 😤

Did you know that after Dersh got the murderer off in the Reversal of Fortune case the victim’s kids founded the National Center for Victims of Crime? That org’s advocacy helped pass the Crime Victims Right’s Act, which helped reopen Epstein’s case. Reversal of Fortune indeed.

It's a shame how George Bernard Shaw's quote "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach" has been twisted over the past 117 years. He was critiquing idle debates & vague sophistry. It has nothing to do with the modern discipline of teaching, which is itself something people "do".

BIG mistake not to have Christen Press on the roster for 2 games in LA.
Ticket sales for SheBelieves Cup are slow: Expected crowds are 7,000 and 12,000 for two matchdays in Carson, 12,000 in Frisco.
Many USWNT stars are missing, no marquee opponents, two matchdays in same venue.

It was also addressed to a specific church of early Christians, who had taken Paul's earlier admonition that Jesus was coming soon a little too literally and had abandoned their regular lives, including work, living off the community, while they waited for the apocalypse.

He didn’t “inherit” anything. Discovery bought Warner Brothers in a leveraged buyout (taking on a huge debt to make the deal). AT&T had its own debt problems (similarly related to acquisition debt not operations). HBO Max itself was a well-run streamer that exceeded expectations.

You can see in this clip part of why I’m so excited about Naomi Girma. She looks likes she’s being indecisive and draws the opponent in and then BOOM, a perfectly accurate pass across the field to the outside mid to start the attack. This skill opens up so many avenues for attack

Through 3 games Cameron Brink’s defensive rating is 88.5. The lowest defensive rating in the league last season was Aja Wilson at 91.3. (Lower is better.) I don’t know if she will be able to keep this up for a full season but it’s a heck of a start to Cam’s pro career

In the past the GOP would get people to vote against their own interests by lying about the future (“trickle down economics...you’ll love these tax cuts when you become rich”). Trump’s shown them they can get away with lying about the present too (“it’s a middle class tax cut”).

Stanford's 5-year average football attendance as of 2019 was 45,432 (even though 2-3 home games a year are before students arrive). It can absolutely get back to that again with the more exciting offense the new coach has promised. That would be better than half the ACC.
