A terminal dashboard for live sports — Plain Text Sports meets Golazo, as a Bubble Tea TUI.
Been working on this one for a bit, but it's basically ready for primetime now. I took inspiration from Plain Text Sports and the Golazo TUI and built out my own terminal TUI for all sports. You can follow scores live, see past scores, upcoming games, favorite teams, and see standings - all from the terminal. Installable via brew.
This is also why youth and amateur soccer, as a game, can be more fun to watch than pro soccer. The comparative lack of skill and relative inability to control the ball create a situation where it’s strategically less rewarding to be passive, and the continual turnovers create opportunities for profitable aggressive actions. You lose the world-class athletes doing world-class athlete things. But the trade-off is it’s just more continuously exciting.
A truly insane take.
The NBA was said to be seeking a sliding scale of investment, depending on the market, between $500 million and $1 billion for a “license,” or permanent entry into the new European league, and two sources familiar with the bids said several came in meeting or exceeding the $500 million threshold.
I'm a bit nervous about American sports ruining some of the tradition in Europe. I'm not sure how basketball leagues works today, but relegation is incredibly important to soccer. The NBA expanding to Europe probably won't have relegation—If anything, we should bring relegation into our sports. If you want to prevent people from tanking, that's the perfect way.
I'm just trying to figure out why he went for the back heel. It almost feels like the guy just has no left foot. Should we give him credit for that?
Could it be? Some actual good news for Chicago sports—even if it is just future potential that will probably be squandered away eventually anyway? Even better is this excludes the young established guys like Bedard, Nazar, and Levshunov.
After a brilliant rookie season during which he emerged as a key part of the Cubs’ rotation and posted a 2.67 ERA, Horton was viewed as a big piece for a team that has World Series aspirations.
Whelp… there goes our season. Stupid Pope putting a curse on us so his stupid White Sox don’t look like the mega dumpster fire they are over on the south side.
