It shouldn't have to be said, but the way the Dwayne Haskins news broke on Twitter today, this is a good reminder: athletes are PEOPLE. They aren't commodities. They have families. They have fears, loves and emotions. Please remember that when Tweeting, reporting, etc. Be better.
I needed that Ted Lasso episode tonight. As a former athlete always criticized and judged for crying, having fear, and as a result being called a head case (which I now realize was me dealing with crippling anxiety) this episode healed a small part of me.
Believe and let it out. ♥️
It’s officially time to announce my retirement from professional soccer.
Thank you to my family, teammates, coaches, staff, organizations, agents, friends, fans, and everyone who has been part of this journey. Forever grateful for it all.

Okay I admit: more often than not, when I see the Walter Payton Man of the Year jersey patch, at first glance I think it’s Darth Vader and have to remind myself what it actually is.
Colorado players talking trash about Northwestern’s temporary stadium ahead of this evening’s game:
“This place f*cking sucks”
“Sh*t sounds like a f*cking library.”
10 years ago today, Lamar Jackson put the country on notice by leading No. 10 Louisville to a historic win over No. 2 Florida State on his way to winning the Heisman.
Full quote from Browns QB Deshaun Watson. Was asked if he feels like he needs to have a strong performance Sunday to come home with some goodwill in Week 3.
"No, I think personally, I think all that is for the media. I think the media has this expectation that I'm supposed to throw 400 yards in five touchdowns in seven weeks. So until that happens, I guess it's going to be the same situation. So again, my job is to make sure I'm operating well so we can try to get a win and keep moving forward from."
Waddell on Elvis Merzlikins: “He failed his physical. We’re not going to put a time on it. You’re not going to see him in the near future, that’s for sure.” #CBJ

I’ve watched this video a bunch and every time I watch it, I struggle to understand what in the world is so funny about a coach slapping a reporter in an AI edit 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄??? Everybody laughing should be ashamed of themselves.
“I saw the AI Edit of (Sark) slapping Holly Rowe.”
I asked Arch Manning if he’d seen any edits on TikTok or Twitter after the game, and his answer is gold.
