@MurrayHillGuy1 The 57th Street store is one of the best, if not the best.

Ranking Whole Foods in Manhattan from Best to Worst: 1. Hudson Yards 2. Tribeca 3. FiDi/Wall Street 4. Houston Street(Bowery/LES) 5. Madison Ave 6. Bryant Park 7. Columbus circle 8. Union square

@okaythenfuture The World Cup will be huge here once the weather warms up. It would have been more anticipated in the U.S., however, if Italy were in it.

The World Cup starts in 30 days and legit barely anyone cares. In America, probably barely anyone knows the world’s biggest sport competition starts in a month. This has been the worst rollout for the World Cup I have ever seen in my life. It was a mistake to award it to Modern America. It’s no longer a serious society.

@CrimsonCast Galen, now that we went 16-0 and won the whole thing, maybe it's time for a little fun with the uniforms. I suggest a Bison helmet decal or maybe a small Bison patch on the jersey sleeve.

Gonna record a start-of-May podcast at some point soon, so send in your questions

@Jared_Kelly7 I went to IU in the '80s. Year in and year out, we hoped for football success. We always wanted to excel in the sport. Just because we struggled and just because we had basketball, that didn't mean we weren't hungry for football glory. In one season, we healed all those wounds.

Indiana QB Josh Hoover was once committed to Indiana four years ago. He’s back now, and has seen how different things are at IU: “Just seeing how it’s changed since the last time I was here is really cool. The fans, the community, how much football has grown here.” #iufb

@AustinAbbott Ty Simpson reminds me of Drew Brees. He will have a good NFL career.

The craziest part regarding the Rams selecting Ty Simpson: If EVERYTHING goes as planned this season - your 13th overall pick will not play a single snap. Meanwhile you have Matthew Stafford (2025 MVP) and an open SB window still.. “He is going to compete with Stetson” is truly such an outrageous comment I wholeheartedly understand and can appreciate having to “earn your stripes” as a rookie but you simply do not select a QB 13th overall just for him to compete for the QB2 role Les Snead has made a lot of wise decisions in recent memory but there’s clearly a real disconnect between him and Sean McVay on that selection The remaining options at 13 were also phenomenal: - Rueben Bain Jr. (Edge) - Olaivavega Ioane (G) - Makai Lemon (WR) - Kenyon Sadiq (TE) You need to push all the chips in here, draft an instant contributor, put the best product on the field as possible and go pursue a 2nd SB ring with Matthew Stafford Pure malpractice

@CrimsonCast I was at that game.

I can get on board with this

@Izengabe_ If Met Life Stadium hosts NFL games at which 80,000 people regularly attend, not to mention concerts, why would a soccer match be any different "logistically" for transportation?

The Giants have been playing sold out games at the Meadowlands since 1976. We've been able to get fans there without needing to shutdown the tri-state area for 50 years. I don't understand why getting a bunch of soccer fans to the Meadowlands is suddenly such a logistical ordeal.

@Azuri99 Yes

يقال أفضل هجمه مرتده في تاريخ كأس العالم ! هل تتفق !؟ 🔴🔵⚫🔥

@aakashgupta The LA Metro system is vast.

The US only has one city. Los Angeles has 13 million people and no functioning transit system. Houston is the 4th largest metro in America and 93% of commuters drive alone. Phoenix built a sprawl for 5 million people and gave them one light rail line. Atlanta covers more land than the entire Netherlands and you still can't cross it without a car. Now look at New York. GDP of $2.1 trillion. That makes it a top-10 economy on earth, sitting between Italy and Brazil. Wall Street clears $1.5 trillion in securities transactions per day. The annual GDP of Spain runs through lower Manhattan every 24 hours. The MTA moves 1.9 billion trips a year. That's 25% of every public transit ride in the entire country happening inside a single metro. JFK and Newark together handle more international passengers than any airport system in the Western Hemisphere. LaGuardia exists purely as overflow and still handles more traffic than most countries' primary airports. Broadway's 15-block stretch generates $1.8 billion a year in ticket revenue. That's 20% of what every movie screen in America collects combined. The NYC school district enrolls 1.1 million students, more kids than the entire population of San Francisco. 40% of Fortune 500 headquarters sit in the New York metro. The city collects more in annual tax revenue than most US states generate in total GDP. Tokyo, London, Paris, Seoul, Berlin. Those countries all built multiple cities that function like cities. America looked at that model, built one, and then paved everything else.

Dove eri quando hai visto questa finale?

@Footballtweet I would like to see Totti, Del Piero and Cassano involved more.

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: THERE WILL BE A HISTORIC SHAKE-UP IN THE ITALIAN NATIONAL TEAM! 😱🇮🇹 ▪️ Gabriele Gravina has decided to resign as president of the Italian federation. ▪️ Gennaro Gattuso is expected to step down in the coming hours. ▪️ Gianluigi Buffon is also set to leave. ▪️ Roberto Mancini has been approached to take over as head coach, while the identity of Gravina’s successor remains unclear. 🗞️@MCriscitiello

@Footballtweet I think the Azzurri were just unlucky. That team is still better than half the teams in the World Cup field. I guess if you don't qualify, though, then there will be sweeping changes in the federation.

@CrimsonCast Basketball was better when they called traveling and double dribbles. Nowadays, guys will start at the top of the key and take three or four steps, crash into a defender, and draw a foul.

Even the UConn people see it

@Mans_Ascent At least you're not telling anybody to smirk.

High testosterone behaviors: 1. Talk to people like you already know them

@israel_ajoje I don't mind it, but I understand how it goes against tradition. That said, the main drawback to no timeouts is that, say you're on the road or late to watch a game, you will miss some action and maybe a great goal. But with timeouts, you miss less.

@Jerseyside so you like it?

FIFA just turned a player welfare measure into a commercial product, and honestly, I don't think you should be surprised. We all saw it coming. Let me stop talking in parables. Here is what is going on. FIFA has confirmed that every match at the 2026 World Cup will have a mandatory three-minute hydration break midway through each half. I don't mean at half time. I mean around the 23rd and 68th minute of each match. Basically, instead of having 2 halves, we will be having 4 quarters. They announced it as a player welfare initiative, and to be fair, that part has some truth to it. Several 2026 venues in the United States will have serious heat and humidity during the summer, and heat management in football is a real concern. Water breaks have been used in domestic football for years under specific weather conditions. So the welfare argument is not completely made up. But then FIFA told broadcasters they could sell advertisements during those breaks, and that is where the conversation changed. Just take a stop and think about what that means. 104 matches at the 2026 World Cup. Three minutes of commercial inventory, twice per game. That is over 200 guaranteed advertisement breaks that did not exist before, sold to broadcast partners in every territory around the world. The NFL has built a massive part of its revenue model around exactly this, commercial breaks engineered into stoppages so broadcasters can sell airtime without cutting into the action. FIFA just borrowed that playbook and used player welfare as the entry point. Here is the thing about football that makes this significant. The sport has always been attractive globally partly because it flows. Ninety minutes, minimal interruption, continuous action. That is not a small thing. It is part of why football translates across cultures in a way other sports do not. Planned advertisement breaks in the middle of each half changes that experience, and I am almost certain that fans will feel it even if they cannot explain exactly why. I feel like the experience will be different. Does it bother you as a fan, or is it just the reality of modern football? Let me know in the comments section. My name is Ajoje.

@elonmusk I think Grok should work to limit "Grok, is this true?" replies to one per post.

Yes

@bradley_loomis8 Going into this season, IU is actually better on paper than the 16-0 team. Now sure, losing guys like Fernando Mendoza, Aiden Fisher and Pat Coogan could affect team chemistry, but there are many guys returning, and some top transfers coming in.

Indiana: QB: Josh Hoover RB: Lee Beebe Jr. WR: Nick Marsh WR: Charlie Becker WR: Tyler Morris / Shazz Preston #neverdaunted

@CSOonX @PatMcAfeeShow I was at the Rose Bowl. Fernando threw some great passes on the run and made all the right decisions as to when to tuck it or throw the ball away. That said, Ty Simpson is a very good quarterback with good technique, reminds me somewhat of Drew Brees.

Dan Orlovsky's next hot take: "Just broke down the Rose Bowl game tape and shocked at what I saw. Despite what the final score says, Ty Simpson out-played Fernando Mendoza. The film never lies..."

@CrimsonCast I had rewatched the "traditional" Rose Bowl telecast a while ago, but the Pat McAfee version is pumped up, and they played two songs by the IU band at halftime. The Peach Bowl was great, but to me, going to the Rose Bowl, Pasadena, vs. Ala-bama, the S-E-C, that was the sweetest.

Or the Peach Bowl! youtu.be/ja9g7Y9N28g?si…
