This is a crisis in our country’s handling of child enrichment overall, not just the development of professional athletes.
Landon Donovan says America is missing soccer talent because kids can’t afford to play.
“Only 2% of kids playing organized soccer in America came from households that made less than $50,000.”
“If you don’t make $50,000, your kid cannot play organized soccer.”
“Think about how many kids you’re missing out on in this country because they can’t afford to play the game.”
“There is zero chance I could have played club soccer.”
“My mom made $34,000 a year, single mom raising three kids.”
“She couldn’t pay $4,000 for me to play club. Are you kidding? She couldn’t pay $400.”
“That’s not a good system to create good players.”

Zverev va sûrement gagner son 1er GC et ça pose un problème. Pas du tout pour son niveau de jeu, mais parce qu'il ne devrait pas être sur un court de tennis
Il faut profiter du fait qu'il aura une immense médiatisation ajd pour rappeler qu'il a été accusé de violences conjugales par DEUX de ses ex compagnes.
(Je me permets de rappeler l'histoire pour celles et ceux qui en n'ont pas forcément connaissance)
Sa première ex n'a pas voulu porter plainte mais a témoigné des violences qu'elle a subies pendant leur relation. Certains médias ont repartagé son histoire mais ont fait face à des procédures baillons de la part des avocats de Zverev. C'est à dire des poursuites pour diffamation dès qu'ils décidaient de partager ces accusations (afin de les emmener dans des procédures juridiques coûteuses et donc de les dissuader d'en parler).
Sa 2e ex compagne et mère de son enfant a témoigné d'EXACTEMENT les mêmes faits et a décidé de porter plainte contre Zverev.
Les charges étaient suffisamment solides pour qu'il écope d'une amende de 450 000€ fin 2023.
Le procès a été interrompu par un accord à l'amiable entre les deux personnes. Mais il ne faut pas être dupe, ces accords sont souvent acceptés pour mettre fin à la pression financière, médiatique et l'harcelement que subissent les victimes.
Les deux ex de Zverev ont bien sûr été une deuxième fois victimes dans cette affaire en témoignant contre lui. Accusées d'être des menteuses, de faire ça pour l'argent etc.
Pour toutes ces raisons ça dégoute de voir ce joueur une nouvelle fois au sommet du tennis mondial (et voir certains journalistes/consultants être super complaisants vis à vis de lui mdr).
Mais bon c'est ça d'être un homme, riche et puissant 👍

(This isn’t at all specifically at or about Brett but) the one thing I wish most that we could all accept is that there are easily 20+ QBs that are capable of looking like the fifth-best QB in football for an 8-game stretch

Still relevant
The NFL's schedule release is tomorrow night.
Relevant to the inevitable discussion -- @DataWithBliss and I looked at the impact of rest difference on game outcomes nitter.cf/StatsbyLopez/status/18…

Used current betting regular season win totals for all NFL teams to figure out how the market is currently looking at teams.
Is this the year of the Joe Burrow?

first indicator that it was going to be a long night for the Pats O was when the protection was DOA on the first couple of 3rd downs just by the design of the Seahawks blitzes.

I wrote a Super bowl preview:
- How the Seahawks offense works
- Why not as much play action?
- Shadowing JSN?
- What makes the Seahawks D special?
- Reminder that the Patriots offense was good
- How to attack the Seahawks D?

Zero blitzes get hit for TDs on both sides. Feels over aggressive with both defenses having matchup advantages.

There are two running games in the last decade with a success rate over 50%
The 2018 Rams and the 2025 Rams.
Same coach. Same helmet. Completely different schemes.
On the second act of Sean McVay:

I understand the “Browns are keeping Andrew Berry, their draft was amazing” line but a big part of why their draft was that good was…the coaching staff.

3rd and 8. Ward sees Grant Delpit lurking and informs the protection.
Browns bring three down the pipe so Delpit is unblocked anyway. Ward has to hit a fadeaway go ball to Van Jefferson.
Silly, silly arm talent. Jordan Love vibes here. Please catch the football!

The cool thing about my rooting guide code is that I can just run it on week 18 today and get the probabilities that these games matter for both teams, as of today:
The top three games here are the most likely candidates for week 18 SNF.
