At full time: The end of my run on the men’s soccer beat
3+ hour, 48+ min ago (1589+ words) The conclusion of the 2025 Boston University men's soccer season last week marked the end of a big part of my time at BU " it was the last time I would ever write about the team after three years of consistent coverage. And it's really not about me, but in chronicling the team, I grew to care. A lot. I became a soccer fan somewhat late in my life " just after 2020 or so " but it was, in a way, inevitable." In elementary school, my friends and neighbors all played the sport, so I played with them at recess or in our front yards." Realistically, highly-fluid, outdoor contact sports weren't for me " I did gymnastics for 14 years, volleyball for three and track for a little bit, too " so I was usually doing something you could loosely call "defending." Then I took a…...
Special election: Behn’s strong showing boosts Democratic hopes | Beyond the Ballot
4+ hour, 11+ min ago (617+ words) The special election for Tennessee's 7th Congressional District Seat garnered national attention over the past month " an unusual development for a district that voted +22 for Trump. The race attracted a substantial amount of funding, including over $6 million in billionaire-backed super PACs to support Republican nominee Matt Van Epps. Democratic candidate Aftyn Behn delivered a significant overperformance for Democrats, narrowing the GOP's longstanding double-digit lead to single digits in a historic result. Behn noted at her campaign gathering that Republicans redrew the district three years ago to make it virtually impossible for Democrats to win, and "nobody in Washington believed we could get even this close." Behn delivered a campaign message rooted in affordability " reducing costs, improving healthcare affordability and challenging Trump's tariff policy and tax-cut agenda." In one of Behn's closing advertisements, she honed in on this, saying, "Aftyn Behn wants…...

11+ hour, 2+ min ago (652+ words) The LA Clippers are undoubtedly having a disastrous season, and fans are letting them know it. They are currently 14th in the West with 5 wins and 16 losses, without the prospect of getting any better this season. But as if fans weren't hating them enough, the front office decided to abruptly cut ties with franchise legend Chris Paul. Earlier today, Paul posted a story on Instagram that read, "Just Found Out I'm Being Sent Home" along with a peace sign emoji." Clippers GM Lawrence Frank later released a statement confirming parting ways with the 12-time All-Star. Now, Lawrence's statement had him thanking Paul for all he had done for the franchise, but reports suggest that the veteran player was speaking up to the brass, "holding people responsible,' so to speak.

DeMarcus Lawrence could build his case for Hall of Fame with the Seahawks
11+ hour, 26+ min ago (775+ words) DeMarcus Lawrence has been playing out of his absolute cranium this season. Being only three years older than Lawrence myself, I do not know how he does this. I can barely get through a game of ultimate frisbee without need for serious rehab. But along the way to becoming one of the greatest free agency signings in franchise history, and the two or three most disruptive players on defense, DeMarcus Lawrence is also matching some serious all-time NFL marks. His latest forced fumble on Aaron Jones after getting cheap-chipped to the ground was his 22nd all-time, but the first of this season. That now gives Lawrence a forced fumble in 11 consecutive seasons over his impressive career. Only his rookie season in 2014, before some of you were even teenagers, came and went without a forced fumble. The great Charles Tillman, inventor of…...
