Mashed potato is always a head scratcher, yup. No predictions for this weekend, part of the charm is how unpredictable it can be. Just hoping it’s 3 competitive days, and Sunday matches still matter.

Moments like this is why some people prefer the practice rounds at big events. Closer to the action and less traffic.

There's a good amount of rain in the forecast today around here, after what's been a pretty dry month or two. Will be interesting to see how it softens up the course in advance of the weekend.

Love seeing so many remarks about music. Being a former music teacher and actively performing musician brass musician, it works wonders for your mind, spirit, cognitive health and more. Plus, it's one of the few skills that you can share with others that brings joy to all. Have traveled our country and the UK, all because of music. Said to my wife the other week, when we're old, senile, and my memories are gone, as long as we can still connect with music and smile/feel, we'll be OK. And most importantly for this lot...it's not too late to learn! So many incredible books and online resources that can get you started on all varieties of instruments.

They have the rights here in the US. It’s included with the app, no add-ons. What kind of device are you watching on? On my SmartTV, there’s a ball icon on the left of the screen. If on a tablet, I select Hubs, then Sports.

Anyone else watching on Paramount+? Picture is great, audio sounds like a radio transmission between two WW2 submarines.

Beautiful country, but beware of tipping culture and ripping off tourists. For instance, if you stay at a resort and book an excursion (let's say you want to go sailing), the driver will expect a tip. You'll have two people trying to help carry your belongings onto the boat or getting you a towel, angling for a tip. There might be someone on the sailboat with an exotic bird who might place the bird on your shoulder before you can say no, take a picture, then put their hand out for a tip. Tipping a server is normal practice, but there will be plenty of other angles at play.

Expecting very little from the Eagles this season, so I'll cherish the memories of last season. The NFC East hasn't had a repeat division winner in many years, so there's only way to go after a Super Bowl winning season. Side note- always get a laugh when people post about expensive tickets for certain away fixtures. Dallas @ Philadelphia is predictably sold out tonight, and the cheapest available tickets on Stubhub around $450 per seat. Parking is $50, it all adds up. The TV product is so good...there's no thought of needing to spend that ever again.

This is a fair view shared by friends who watch the Union. He has a bit of an edge to him and provides a lot of energy for the squad. He was good enough to be considered one of Philadelphia's Designated Players, which is the title that MLS teams use to sign players on a big wage outside of the normal salary structure (Messi, Zlatan, Lloris, Son, etc). Shame to say I live not far from the Union home ground, but never been to a match. Interesting and mostly irrelevant side note- there were reports that the Union could have sold him to Olympiacos the summer before he went to Feyenoord, and the Union turned down a 7 million+ Euro offer for him. The Union ownership are famously skint, so maybe it was the player who didn't want that move? Either way, Leicester got a player who declined an offer to play for Marinakis...always a moral victory.

Penalty all day. Wheels coming off…

Bleak watching this, waiting for something to happen. Anything. Somebody do something, please.

All hands on deck to keep a clean sheet. Not the same soft squad mentality of last season…

BOOM

His veneer has been shattered so many times, and yet it never sticks for long. Leaving his partner while she was pregnant, shilling shady health supplements, plus every scandal surrounding his team in his playing days. Somehow he’s currently a part owner of an NFL team, while earning nearly $40 million annually as a match commentator. Wrexham may be popular to dislike, but Rob is a far more normal human and a passionate fan of his teams, not the robotic personality always looking for an angle.

2026 MLB schedule was released today. Buried in the article was this. It’s a shame, considering how good the product was when we attended the 2024 London Series: A contemplated Yankees-Blue Jays series at London in June likely won't take place because of scheduling issues caused by West Ham being home for its Premier League final match on May 24, delaying when Olympic Stadium would be available for conversion to baseball.

Celebrating 3 points and a clean sheet by being dragged to TK Maxx with the missus. Seems fair after some of those…ups and downs.

Cov Scum, the sequel.

OH MY

It’s not even half eight here, might need to look for a pint.

Considering tickets for The Who's North American farewell tour, starting next week. Surprised to see the sales looking low (though I suspect the price is the issue)- this is for next Saturday night, all seats in blue are still available.

Fleetwood hurting having to give that interview, but he didn’t storm away like some other pros might…

Uhhhhhhhh

Seeing a Danny Ward close-up, with him in someone’s else kit, is a warm blanket that pairs nicely with a morning tea.
