Imma lose my shit if #ManCity gets Rayan Cherki 🤩 🇫🇷
First game of the playoffs and it started with an exclusive Season-ticket holders event hosted by the club, where we were able to go shoot on the court, visit the entire arena, discover the hospitality section, talk with a few players and the president, and get our Playoffs started! | @acmomento
I’ve got newfound respect for Jonathan Claus:
Just because discrimination doesn’t concern you, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pay attention to it. I haven’t experienced racism, but I’m still interested in saying it’s not cool for the people who suffer it.

“Kyle Goon: The Baltimore ‘O!’ is about community pride. Don’t lecture us about it.”
We’re here, we’re proud of the place we live, and we want it to thrive. (…) The “O!” is a Baltimore thing. It’s a Maryland thing. It’s about a shared identity and community that we’re all rooting for, which is patriotic in and of itself.

Outside of my Caps/Habs series, it’s been hard not to cheer for Canadian teams in these #NHLPlayoffs (for self-evident reasons):
100% behind the Jets, Oilers, and Maple Leaves in their respective series! Go Canada!
2-0 at halftime! Really hoping Inter finishes the job against Barça! #ChampionsLeague
Really loving the way @theathletic.bsky.social has implemented stories-like sports video recaps within its app!
Another big day at the office
With 2 seconds remaining the Winnipeg Jets are scoring to push for overtime — glad I stayed on this Game 7 against the St Louis Blues! #NHLPlayoffs
Extremely important Win-or-go-Home game tonight for my #ParisBasketball in the #Euroleague playoffs ( @euroleaguenews.bsky.social )
My Paris Basketball team starts its very first #Euroleague playoff game tonight, away at Fenerbahce. Very excited and a little nervous too! 💪 🏀 ❤️🖤💙
Kvaradona has arrived in Paris — such a great fit for them and a great career choice for him! #PSGAVL
Désiré Doué is special, man! #PSGAVL très très doué
Good Ebening, are we in for an Unai Emery masterclass?! #ChampionsLeague #PSGAVL
I’m no PSG fan, but my cousin took me out to the game today :)
With this 1-0 Win, PSG wins their 13th domestic title, league early
Took the little one to her very first basketball game today! And enjoyed a nice end-of-day at home with some gorgeous blooms on the way, along with golden light in the lounge :)
Life of a Sports Fanatic: chill Saturday night watching

This #Orioles team is SPECIAL man! ADLEY and now O’Neill 🤩
⚾️⚾️⚾️.
The Trump regime remains a shitty, segregationist enterprise that is unworthy of anyone’s respect or obeisance.
Finally took some time to open my @Topps Series 1 card packs today, ahead of the upcoming Baseball season :)
Been starved of Baseball — very excited for the start of the Tokyo Series later today between the Dodgers & Cubs!
Spent some time with the pals at Fixtured to tell my story of being a sports fan :)
¡Atléti por favor! Absolutely rooting for the Colchoneros tonight in the #ChampionsLeague return game against their archrival and perennial Karen-team Real Madrid
Very excited to open this baby up in the next few days: ⚾️ 🃏
lol Liverpool ✌️ #ChampionsLeague
This VaultX album for my Topps trading cards is awesome, if somehow much larger than I had anticipated 😅

📺 Onside: Major League Soccer ⚽️
3/10/25
Recently finished Onside: Major League Soccer, the documentary series on TV+ about the past MLS season.
It was a nice and refreshing view compared to team-specific documentaries I’ve seen in the football (⚽️) world, and I really enjoyed the variety of discovering different teams, personalities, and players!
For someone like me, based in Europe, it was super useful to learn more about this league and its personalities. I wish more teams were covered, but I’m assuming that this would be the case if the show was to get renewed for another few seasons… MLS has definitely had the perception of being the “soon-to-be in the Top 5 of football leagues in the world” for 15 years now and we’re still waiting to see it happen, but at least the marketing has been good and the level of play has increased significantly. Though there’s still a lot of work to be done at youth level for the sport to become as mainstream and universal as it is in the rest of the world.
Next up on my watchlist:
- Drive to Survive (Season 7), before the start of the new Formula 1 season, this weekend.
- The Handmaid’s Tale (Season 5) for research…
Gonna be partaking in #FantasyBaseball for the first time this year (outside of Sorare)… anything I need to know? Any strategy or tips? ⚾️ 🧡 🖤
