Great to see this...Tatu was a household name in Dallas-Fort Worth in the mid 80s and early 90s.
I know I've mentioned this before but if you weren't here then, it's hard to get people to believe how big of a deal the Sidekicks were for a while...especially the 87 MISL Championship. Importantly timed because the Cowboys were in a downward spiral then, the Rangers had never been to the playoffs and the Mavs were popular (Reunion Rowdies and sellouts of course) but still were a fairly young franchise.

May be tough for some to understand but believe me when I tell you for a kid growing up in Dallas in the early 90s it was:
-Aikman/Irvin/Emmitt/Deion
-Pudge
-Modano
-Tatu
This guy was as much of a household name as it gets. Totally deserved honor!!
Welcome to the Hall of Fame Class of 2027, Tatu!
As one of the best to ever play the beautiful game in the arena, Tatu became a bona-fide soccer super star from 1984-2003 with the Dallas Sidekicks, leading them to 4 championships with over 700 goals in total.
His legacy continues to grow today as he gives back to the game as the Director of Player Pathway and Recruitment at the SISU Soccer Academy here in DFW, where he received the good news this morning ⤵️
Oh heck yeah!
One of the beautiful things about the HOF has been recognizing the indoor game and its role in the US Soccer ecosystem.

I reject this idea completely.. as someone whos sleep has been completely ruined by sleeping with a dog
A surprising new study finds that people who sleep near their dogs don’t experience disrupted sleep. If anything, the University of Toronto researchers discovered, we humans are the ones disturbing our dogs’ sleep. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

With the MASL season around the corner, here is a nice retrospective on indoor soccer in the United States, mostly focused on the MISL and the NASL's short-term indoor league.

"Just know that I love you all."
@HowieRose signs off from tonight's broadcast, which could be his final one in the Mets radio booth 🫶

We love you too @HowieRose and thank you for everything from Mets Radio.
An unfortunate miscalculation by the GM, which will set the franchise back a half decade
"When it comes to letting Pete Alonso go, it can be argued that the Mets were too calculating. That they didn't properly appreciate Alonso's value beyond his bat - his connection to the fans, his ability to play nearly every game nearly every season, and his understanding of what it took to play and deal with the scrutiny in New York."
As Pete Alonso returns to Citi Field tonight, the Mets' biggest what-if stares them in the face (via @DannyAbriano) on.sny.tv/SMXLpb6

The death of local newspapers is a disaster that will really play out in the decades come to come, especially with declining media literacy. The thing here is that a lot of jabrones lump everyone in "The Media" together.
"The Media" can technically consist of multi-million dollar ESPN takesman, a crime reporter from the Grand Forks Herald and an NFL podcaster. But the person covering crime or local politics for say the Lexington Herald-Leader isn't some CNN anchor making millions or some high-profile political columnist. It's almost always a regular Joe or Jane who lives in the community they cover and makes just enough to pay the bills. Sure, some online and independent sites will fill in some gaps. But if you are a young person and you see this, why on earth would you enter the local news profession given the annual drumbeat of layoffs and AI eventually covering some of this stuff? Smart young people will rightfully flee to anything safer, which is everything else. A disaster.
