2x #GreyCup champion, played 189 regular season games for Stallions & #ShreveportPirates CFL American teams, as well as @Wpg_BlueBombers, @MTLAlouettes, @TorontoArgos, & @GoElks. With 154 career sacks holds 2nd highest total in league history, behind Glover Covington's 157.
Props to the #Toffees for staying up, a historic Liverpool club survives its worst season ever and avoids relegation. My heart goes out to #LeicesterCity football club and all its fans, who after an unexpected magical season in 2016 have now been relegated to the Championship league in 2023. A stunning fall. I know their time there will be short-lived as they will surely be back in the #PremierLeague soon. #EPL#sport#football
The Women's Super League season came to an end yesterday and it was a really enjoyable season. The BBC did a good write-up reviewing each team's campaign:
For me, this season was one of the best in terms of how competitive the league was. It's great to see the competition gap close up and attendance records being set.
Looking forward to the Women's World Cup in July, which will be a great showcase for women's football.

Manchester City Football Club, commonly referred to as Manchester City, Man City or simply City, is an English football club based in Manchester that competes in the Premier League.
Last night, under floodlights, we beat Chesham United and lifted our very first trophy.
In the last three years, we have had multiple offers from men's teams to support us as a women's club. All have come with the explicit or implicit requirement that we give up our name. That we become THEIR team.
Women's football in the UK can't just be the same teams you see in the men's game.
I don't follow #PremierLeague#football much, but every time I see Sam Allardyce, I mistake him for Viktor Orbán, and I'm left wondering why is the Prime Minister of Hungary now managing Leeds United?
Watching #NottsCounty vs #Borehamwood battle in #NationalLeague action. What a season County has had, earning over 100 pts. I've really enjoyed my #nationalLeagueTV sub this season. It would be a shame if County were not promoted to #EFL#LeagueTwo, but BHW supporters will disagree with me on that.
The HBOMax series Headless Chickens (2023), aka Pollos sin cabeza, is brilliant in how it perceives humor in situations that normally would not be funny. I haven't had this much fun watching any other series about #football. #soccermovies#soccer
OMFG. The Portland Thorns, defending an 11-match unbeaten streak down 2–3 in the final minute of stoppage time. Our KEEPER, Bella Bibxy, gets the green light to go up for the corner. And SHE SCORES THE MATCH EQUALIZER! Bella fucking Bixby FTW!
What playing football taught me about hacking – Part 2
As part of my MSc, I'm reading MoneyBall. OK, I just watched the film! Cut me some slack!
The basic thesis of the book is this:
Our baseball team doesn't have much money to buy new players
Which baseball players have the best Statistic X for the lowest price?
Buy undervalued players which increase your Stat X
Imma one sport guy, and that one sport is #football (soccer for those in the USA) - ‘the beautiful game’. It’s REAL sport, no TV time-outs, cheerleaders or created drama. The drama plays out on the pitch and only stops for injury, substitutions, or when the ball goes into touch (out of bounds). And though I watch a couple of leagues, the #EnglishPremierLeague is my first choice, and English football in general is what I enjoy following. After all, the Brits invented the game. A big part of the attraction for me, aside from the stunning play of top teams, is the promotion-relegation process that providers a pathway for teams to be promoted into higher leagues for finishing at the top of their existing leagues. The converse is also true, as bottom-finishing teams are relegated to lower leagues. It’s very fair & democratic - and gives fans at all levels something to follow. So it’s only natural that I’m totally delighted with the promotion of #Wrexham this season, after 15 yr wait. What a story. #EPL#EFL
