NFL considers adding Thanksgiving Eve game

The three Thanksgiving Day games are among the most watched during the regular season. Last year's slate averaged 44.7 million viewers, surpassing the 2024 mark of 34.5 million.

Where’s the petition to ban #cricket commentators from using the phrase “without troubling the scorer” as a euphemism for a batter being out for a duck.

As an old fart who learned to score with a pencil and a paper scorebook, I can assure you the scorers were very much troubled.

You know what sounds like fun? Being an English #sportsball coach. What larks that must be.

somehow in the past couple years i have lost all interest in michigan sports (yes, even basketball) and switched all of my attention to european soccer, paris saint-germain in particular, but yesterday i found myself cheering on monaco, who won, three goals to one, so i don’t know what is happening

i don’t even like monaco (the place) #EatTheRich ooh but i do like maghnes akliouche (monégasque midfielder)

Amused by Calafiori complaining to the ref that a Mansfield player is trying to hold him at an Arsenal corner.

Physician, heal thyself!

(Also they got away with a clear penalty that would have put Mansfield in front and it's just more of the same PGMOL preferential treatment that's horrible to watch.)

PSA: Chip in with hashtags to mute for the next couple of hours of rugball. e.g. #M6N #6N #rugby #IREWAL #IRLWAL

Any others?

Hilarious - two sixes in two balls and the commentators going “well, he’s got the measure of this bowler” and … next ball clean bowled because the bowler took a bit of speed off after completely suckering the English batsman.

This is the third or fourth Newcastle player who has pretended to be injured to waste time. Absolute clown club.

(Newcastle have definitely played better in the second half but they've also definitely been given far too much leeway by Peter Banks. Trippier should have had two yellows at least. Gordon should have had at least one for simulation. PGMOL corruption strikes again. Maybe we should rename it to "PGMOIL" given how shamelessly they favour the petroclubs.)

(Also we really have to get shot of Dalot and Ugarte in the summer.)

On the one hand, that double yellow for the Newcastle fella was harsh.

On the other, they've had countless dirty fouls and dissents ignored that should have been yellows (and I don't think they'd have got that penalty if they hadn't just got a red card at the other end - extremely soft and wholly caused by the Newcastle player.)

(But then every Newcastle match should - if the rules were fairly applied - would end up with them only having 9 players on the pitch and Joelinton would be suspended for 3 games out of every 4.)

This is amazing - Raya flattens Pedro in the exact same manner that PGMOL said Onana against Wolves should have been a penalty and ... no penalty. Also Gyokeres and Timber have both dived without punishment (and indeed the second one leads to an Arsenal goal where at least two Chelsea defenders are prevented from defending by Arsenal players holding them!)

(Also, also, I love Gary Neville for his service to United back in the day but good lord he's an awful commentary pundit, second only to Carragher for absolute drivel spouts per minute.)
