UCL reaction show: Despite an epic effort, Borussia Dortmund fail to knock out Barca
Dortmund barely put a foot wrong tonight. Aside from the own goal, they played Barca off the park. A performance to be proud of. Just not enough to overcome a nightmare in Spain. They leave the competition with their heads held high.
The best player for Dortmund? Probably Flick’s high line. But after that it was undoubtedly Adeyemi. Guirassy got the goals, but Adeyemi was everywhere. Constantly running at Barca’s defence, constantly closing down. Led from the front. Groß also tremendous.

When I started making cocktails in the early 10s, Eagle Rare was a house bourbon for any number of cocktail bars. It wasn’t quite dirt cheap, but you could usually find it for about $35, and sometimes less. It’s great whiskey, with a particular dried-fruit note that sharpens the taste without subtracting from the oaky, aged, vanilla rich…

Yesterday was the anniversary of Don Calhoun’s Million Dollar Shot. When he hit the shot, he was 23 and he said he would save some of the money for his son Clarence’s education. Clarence was three. I doubt anyone would have faulted a 23-year-old who won $1 million for not saving some for his three-year-old.
But Don is a special guy. He di…

For weeks, mainstream media has used a smattering of out-of-context Joe Rogan quotes to claim he is opposed to Trump’s policies since taking office. I wrote about how this was complete nonsense and wishful thinking last week but now we have the confirmation with the footage from last night’s UFC 314 broadcast, where Rogan tells Trump “I’m so happy for you, sir” while giving him a big hug.

Dortmund are a complete mess this season and this squad is CLEARLY not good enough to reach the top four. And that means they’ll need to make some big changes in the summer if they want to bounce back next season.

They knew that Rumeysa Ozturk had done nothing wrong. They sent masked men to grab and detain her anyway.
They knew Abrego Garcia had a protection order from deportation. They sent him to a foreign jail anyway.
They know the Supreme Court has told them that Abrego Garcia must be returned. They don’t care.
