2026 World Cup (Official Thread)

Western hemisphere world cups tend to go that way.
This made me remember some kind of study they did in Germany about ten years ago relating to success factors in penalty shootouts, because they somehow realized (because they’re Germans :wink2:) that a vast majority of World Cup and UEFA championship league matches were decided on penalty kicks… and they wanted to understand what can be done to prepare better.

So I went back and looked… fwiw here’s the research: https://fis.dshs-koeln.de/en/public...eterminant-of-sport-performance-how-to-succe/

Interesting take… but I guess at some point everyone can learn how to out-German the Germans lol

Philadelphia ‘Poopgate’ scandal intensifies as Noah Kahan makes fans ‘solemnly swear’ not to soil themselves at his concerts​

"One of the most unreal concert experiences I’ve ever witnessed.”

Singer/songwriter Noah Kahan has had to issue an impassioned plea to his fans that if they feel the call of nature during one of his shows, they absolutely must head to the bathroom and do it there.

The unusual request comes in the wake of what’s been dubbed “Poopgate”. This refers to a disgusting situation at Kahan’s Philadelphia show, where The Independent reports that a fan near the front of the crowd allegedly defecated on the floor, then attempted to brush the evidence under a chair.

As reported by News.com.au, a horrified witness said:
“I guess they didn’t want to miss a couple of songs to use the bathroom so they just straight up s..t themselves. She started trying to waffle stomp the turds and acted like nothing happened but we flagged down security. One of the most unreal concert experiences I’ve ever witnessed.”

“You guys gotta understand there’s a venue worker out there with a 1000-yard stare”​

Now Kahan has stepped in to urge his fans to maintain basic standards of decorum at his shows. On X he said:

“If you have to poop at a show, please dear god just go to the bathroom lmao I’ve pooped my pants as much as the next 29-year-old but you guys gotta understand there’s a venue worker out there with a 1000-yard stare after dealing with that.”

Now, in front of hundreds of fans, he’s taken to the stage to make his fans take an oath that they will follow societal expectations of bathroom use. He made the crowd repeat after him:

“I solemnly swear I will not s–t my pants and if I do, I won’t take it from my pants and put it on the floor”
This appears to be a growing problem in concerts. After all, if you’ve paid a large amount of money for a ticket, why would you want to waste a single second queuing for a bathroom. The consequences were recently outlined by Olivia Rodrigo, who told KISS Radio (via Consequence): “I have been to certain concerts and certain festivals where people wear diapers so that they can be front row of the show, and that’s been an experience as a performer that I have… smelled.”

The fan that kicked off this stinky controversy has remained anonymous and has not commented.

The follow up to the recent Manziel interview where he states that he roots for the Browns to go 0-16 every year. I always thought he would be a bust when they drafted him.

Tennessee Titans (Official Thread)

UCLA research suggests playing pro football can increase risk of developing ALS


The study looked at close to 20,000 professional football players who had participated in at least one game between 1960 and 2019. The data showed that professional football players were four times more likely than the general population to develop and die from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a neurodegenerative disease.

Because the study covers 59 years, the researchers were also able to make an important connection between the length of a player’s football career and their risk of developing ALS. Specifically, the longer someone played football, the greater their likelihood of developing ALS became. Those players who developed ALS played more than 50% longer than those who did not.

I’m a little worried about that scum up north for Weddle. Gut feeling, dad played for Whittingham, and he could easily play as a freshman there due to their room likely being weaker than ours and UGA

Michigan wasn’t named as a factor per Adam Gorney. Ohio State and Georgia battle with Oklahoma behind them. Utah, UCLA, Cal and Oregon were named as other schools of interest.

2028 GA DB Casey Barner (Verbal Offer)

Georgia fans are already conceding that they will lose Casey Barner to us, they know they can’t compete with Ohio State NIL wise.

I could see us landing Barner and Weddle going to Georgia, it’s been shown that NFL legacies don’t put as much emphasis on NIL as other recruits do.

Golden State Warriors (6x NBA Champions)

Draymond Green declines Warriors' option, becomes free agent​

Draymond Green is heading to free agency. The Warriors veteran has declined a $27.7 million player option for the 2026-27 season and will be a free agent tomorrow evening. Green has only played for the Warriors during his 14-year NBA career and has won four championships with the squad. The Warriors could bring Green back at a smaller average annual value and help make more moves possible.

The Warriors are said to be chasing both LeBron James in free agency and Anthony Davis on the trade market. Those moves would reunite LeBron and AD and pair them with Stephen Curry as Curry and James chase a fifth title.

Chaz Coleman (DE Penn St., transfer to Tennessee, dismissed from Tennessee, transfer to...)

I think that I saw that he had some form of vertigo? Potentially, the result of football-related trauma?

If that's the case, and regardless, I hope the kid finds his legs under him again.
That's what I have seen. Something along the lines of a concussion that has not fully healed.
