Croix Bethune is a star in the making. The rookie attacking midfielder for the NWSL's Washington Spirit tied the single season league record for assists last month, dropping her 10th dime in a 4-1 Spirit win over the Kansas City Current. We gave her a shoutout at the time. She also won a gold medal as an alternate on the U.S. Women's team that took the title in Paris. She was flying.
Life can be cruel sometimes.
On August 28, Bethune joined fellow DMV-area athletes Torri Huske, Casey Kreuger, and Hal Hershfelt to throw out the first pitch at a Washington Nationals game. Yesterday, it was reported that Bethune tore the meniscus in one of her knees and will miss the remainder of the NWSL season. She'll end her rookie campaign with five goals to go with the aforementioned assists.
Just one more bit of evidence that baseball is stupid.

in better spirit news, magic johnson just joined the club as an investor. michelle kang is building a global women's soccer empire. someone should write about that.
That Commanders VP has now been fired. Can’t say I don’t understand it or didn’t see it coming, but I also think some element of critical thinking should prevail here. Something is rotten in the state of Ashburn.
there was no way that dude going to keep that job the moment that story dropped. i don't blame the commanders at all. does he have a legal case against o'keefe? that's a different story altogether.
That’s a different story.
At the best music venue in my area (Portsmouth amphitheater) seeing Jane’s Addiction with Love & Rockets opening. Yes.
i'm a mite gobsmacked that a county in georgia, of all places, is charging a parent criminally in a case where he made a weapon available to a minor who killed with it. this is the way.
I’m leaving EARLY tomorrow morning to go back to St Louis for the first time in 20 years. It’s where my entire family is from. Cardinals game tomorrow night. Arch and beers with my sisters and their husbands (before the wedding) on Saturday. Wedding on Sunday. My wife may divorce me after this weekend.
I'm gobsmacked that some guy--not some Rambo type of guy, or some Day of the Jackal type of guy, or some Vasily Zaitsev type of guy--just a regular old bacciagaloop with an AK took some pot shots at the president--who coincidentally WAS SURROUNDED by some Rambo, Day of the Jackal, and Vasily Zaitsev type of guys who had their own guns including AKs--and no one said "Huh, maybe we need to limit access to AKs."
you realize you live in america, no?
in other news, jessica pegula was interviewed before her semifinal while wearing a gigantic pair of headphones around her neck. i said to my wife, 'look at those cans!' and she got angry with me. i am become dave.
Congrats on become Dave. Maybe your wife will learn to appreciate it?
Maybe I could mansplain to her that in the radio DJing biz, headphones are cans?
that's what i did! and that's what i was referring to!
y'all should listen to the south beach sessions interview with boog sciambi. i had no idea he and dan le batard were such close friends. it's a really good conversation about mental health, achievement, self-care and a bunch of other stuff.
Does he bring up being at W&M as a freshman and hanging out with us? No?? He should’ve!!!
Remember when GTB did college football picks every Friday? That was cool.
he does mention w&m, and if you read between the lines you can see us.
whitney just issued a challenge to mark and danimal
one of the players in the first us open men's semi is puking on the court. the other seems to have injured his wrist somewhat seriously. both are being treated by physios during a changeover. and we're not even two sets in.
