Matthew Tkachuk's first hockey memory isn't actually his. It's his mom's. It was his first game and "I guess I was like by far the worst player out there," Tkachuk said. "She thinks that’s hilarious." That didn't last long. On the birth of a superstar: miamiherald.com/sports/nhl/flo…

Every World Cup halftime show should just be K'naan singing Waving Flag

@AlexMSolana @RohanNadkarni that science museum IMAX is pretty mind-blowing though

@RohanNadkarni The tweets showing the two different perspectives sold me. But the idea of driving to Fort Lauderdale at 6am to watch a movie at 8am is so ridiculous when all I’m getting is the top of a soldiers helmet lol

Unpopular opinion re: The Odyssey movie / Christopher Nolan It’s enough already filming a movie that can only be watched ‘properly’ in 25 movie theaters across the US. Just film that shit with a normal camera.

The greatest of all time

(That was an egregious flop)

Churchill Bulldog Chris Hacopian

Roch Cholowsky is a spectacular baseball name

The half-spin fadeaway is a little bit of a crutch for Dybantsa right now, but that'll be a deadly move to have in his bag. He's just creating so much space with it right now (in Summer League, granted) that he can probably get a better shot off the spin move.

AJ Dybantsa saved my life

@Metsomania_Pod 04 was right around the time I was going too. Definitely much smaller then than it seems to be now. Couldn't have been more than like 20 of us at the Baltimore camp

@DBWilson2 That’s cool. I’m so old I think we were in the early stages. Lol. Had an awesome time and met some WILD people. But nothing past a demo reel back then.

I went to this camp for a few years back in the day. Just the most unbelievable collection of sports sickos in the world. It was basically a week straight of Remembering Some Guys.

@MarcWeberSports it was pretty perfect for a 12-year-old dork. Sal Paolantonio spoke to the group!

@DBWilson2 Gotcha. Feels like every guy needs one summer to play the nerdiest baseball name games as possible

@Metsomania_Pod my cousin and I got to do an inning of an Aberdeen Ironbirds game on the radio or internet stream. I still have the recording somewhere I think

@DBWilson2 Me too. All the way back in 2004. Still have videos of it all. lol.

@MarcWeberSports I went to one in Baltimore. I think they do camps all over the East Coast

@DBWilson2 You went all the way to NJ???

@TheKevinFielder my guy

It should shock no one, if you’ve met me, that I am a multi-year camper.

The expanded field and hosting masked all of this program's issues. They've played basically one good week of soccer in four years.

@ABLichtenstein @DavidJNeal we've played more lifeless, but haven't been this stupid very often

@DBWilson2 @DavidJNeal They’ve played *worse* but not when expectations were this high.

Honestly, not a lot of worse USMNT World Cup performances I can remember

@DavidJNeal 06 is the one that immediately comes to mind as the gold standard (I say as I wear my 2006 jersey)

@DBWilson2 Entire 1998, 2006 World Cups, KO round 2022…

My only real take on the Balogun saga (other than being pumped to watch him play again) is Belgium is embarrassing themselves more than anyone. It's not like Balogun got popped for PEDs. You were about to get lucky on essentially a technicality. Embrace the spirit of competition.

That's another insane call

Absolutely insane call
