Something I don't talk about much is sportsblr vs sportstwt (or sportsx, whatever you call it). I want to mention this because I've been noticing it for the past few months and I think it's time I addressed this.
Sportsblr (footyblr or f1blr) are very friendly spaces for women who want to get into some sport but are too scared to ask questions about it on any public forum because internet sigma idiots think it is acceptable to harass, demean and humiliate women on platforms like Twitter and Instagram. On sportsblr you can ask a question like “what's the offside rule” or “what's drs” and someone will take the time out of their day and explain it nicely to you and you will not have men telling you to kill yourself because omg how can you call yourself a fan if you cannot name these things😠😱🤬. Hate messages here and there are prevalent here as well but not on the scale you see on X or Instagram.
In short, ladies if you want to get into sports, find out the Tumblr community dedicated to it. 9/10 times you will feel safe and welcomed. Football has a pretty active tumblr, so does F1, and tennis, etc. Cricket seems slightly less popular on tumblr but I'm sure you will find some dedicated blog about it.

Hockey Positions - Extended Edition
In our latest episode we talked about the official hockey positions: Centers, L/R Wingers, L/R Defenseman and Goaltenders.
Here I’ll be expanding on the other subcategories that fall under 5 of the positions. LET’S GET INTO IT!
Tumblr media
Snipers - 
It’s safe to assume that Snipers are the guys that get those tough shots into the goal. Players that get named a Sniper are typically consistent and expected to have high scoring points during a season. Goals from snipes are those that are hard to see. These are players every team would want to have.
Playmakers - 
These are your Centers (typically) and they are stars! Like Sydney Crosby and Connor McDavid, Playmakers these guys may not be the best at scoring but they are the best at making sure their teammates are scoring. They will have to be quick on their feet and essentially know where the puck will go before it gets there.
Forwards - Power Forward & Two-Way Forward
Forwards are a mix of Centers and Wingers. These are your players rushing the puck toward the opposing goal. A Power Forward is a player who's consistent in getting the puck and shooting it. They aren’t letting that puck go easy during a face-off. Now, a Two-Way Forward is a player who may not always be consistent but they are able to adapt to where they’re needed. These players assist the defenseman during offense and defense. 
Grinder - 
Grinders are typically the bigger forwards and have no issue throwing their weight around to intercept the puck, kill penalties and really just play smart. 
Enforcer -
Here come the fighters! The Enforcers are the biggest players and the roughest on the team. An enforcer’s job is to protect their teammates, these guys will be seen chirping a ton on the ice and probably a ton from the penalty box. 
Defenseman - Offensive & Shutdown
Easy enough, Offensive Defenseman and Shutdown Defensemen are your well rounded big guys.  Offensive Defensemen are amazing shooters and snipers. These guys are also quick with the sticks and finding open spots for a steal or score. Look out for players like Erik Karlsson and Vince Dunn on the ice! Shutdown Defensemen, I would like to call closers. These guys are not your big scorers but they will shut a score down from the opposing team.  
Ultimately every man on the ice has a role but also a sub role, making each individual game unique and fast paced. All sports really have to work together and communicate but there is something about Hockey that has really drawn us in because of its intensity on the front.
I believe it was NBA Hall of Famer, Charles Barkley who said that he admires hockey players and teams because at the end of the day, there's just one goal. WIN. 
Now if you could pick one of these positions to play, what would you choose to train in???

The greatest Portland Trailblazer guards... After scoring 71 points, I was curious as to where Dame Time ranked in Portland's history.
I remember Clyde-the-Glide and couldn't believe, as great as Dame is, that he has surpassed Clyde as the greatest Trailblazer.... yet
I think of other great guards like Brandon Roy and what could have been and Damon Stoudamire and even one of Dame's teammates in McCollum - but Dame has to surpassed these greats.
But has he eclipsed Drexler? I'm not sure.

HOW TO GET YOUR FRIENDS INTO SPORTS?
Now, I love sports, and I love talking about sports but it isn’t as fun to talk about sports when you don’t have many friends that are into sports. Thankfully, my friends are into a bit of different sports that luckily overlaps with the sports I enjoy, but I have had to convince a couple of my friends on starting a new sport or just in general get into sports. If you ever feel like you’re in the…

Dear Roger Federer ,
I thank you for motivating me in the form of a troubled teen to move on to the next day, to be kind, to improve, and to strive for excellence in everything I do. Despite all the homeless shelter bouncing, the nights spent huddled in our car with my brother in empty parking lots, abusive family members, and the lingering trauma...thank you Roger for being one of the only positive consistencies in my adolescent years, which was one of the most turbulent times of my life. Back then, I never knew what awaited tomorrow: would we have food, shelter, safety? But what was a guarantee was a match of yours was often waiting for me when I got home, and many times it was the only hope I ever had, just the anticipation that I might see you play. I never received an autograph in person from you but I will reminisce to any future grandchildren that I might have of the days I had the privileged pleasure of watching you play in person at a time when your game was at its most immaculate. You redefined the game, or at least you redefined my definition of it.
The first time I saw you play was at the semifinal of the US Open 2009. I froze (and *may* have spilled my drink on myself during the tweener). I had never seen a player move as you did. You danced. You flowed, and when you struck, your hits sounded like the thunder of gods, even at the grandiose heights of Arthur Ashe Stadium. Your form would remain in freeze frame for a split second, gliding into space as though for one rare instant in time, you were granted the gift of flight that even those feathered Aves would eye enviously. "Federer": despite the name's origin, you were not a quill maker, you floated as a feather and inspired a generation of sports writers who have had the unparalleled delight of watching you play. Your strikes like brush strokes, your movements like choreography, your on-court silence made room for the applause that would always follow from the mass of awe-inspired spectators around you. You were, are, and will forever be this spectral danseur who graced us longer than we could have ever hoped for and probably even longer than we deserved. I knew this day would come.
This year, the idea of it was lodged in my throat like an impending truth I couldn't swallow. I prophesied back in 2010 that you would play on tour until your body could no longer allow it, and so you have. Thank you for these glorious years of emotions, finesse, dedication, and life lessons...the wins, and the opportunities for growth (I won't use the other word). You have brought fulfillment and joy in my life in ways I never could have imagined one would through a sport. For this I thank you. I look forward to any future commentary, coaching, and off-tour events you're willing to still grace us with. Thank you for this journey. It has certainly been a hell of a ride and I will always be proud to say I watched arguably the greatest tennis player of the Open Era wield his racquet, a soft-spoken lion with a lance, who transcended a sport into a powerful art but more importantly, did so with grace, humility, and unadulterated passion. Goodbye, Roger, but I hope this is only the closing of a chapter, not the end of an incredible novel. I look forward to seeing you again shortly, in some form or another.
PS. I'm still holding out for that autograph in person.
That pesky fan who used to send you envelopes with sketches of little Swiss cows on them,
K.A.H.

Jalen Hurts injured his right shoulder on Sunday's win against the Chicago Bears resulting in a sprain. Fans are worried if we will see Hurts play this week's game against the Dallas Cowboys or not. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni says there's 'defiantly a chance' he will play. Sources say Hurts has been doing well with physical therapy but, would this still be too soon to play? Gardner Minshew will play against the Cowboys if Hurts is unable.
