The Daily Hilario: Friday

Good Friday morning, TSFers! Today is probably my favorite Cannon Fodder of the year — the (re)introduction post. Our community is a fantastic one and a big part of what makes TSF what it is. The comments died down a bit over the summer, likely in part because our posting tailed off. But they always make a comeback once the season starts. Let’s make this year the best we’ve had in terms of engagement and commenting! That’ll dovetail nicely with Arsenal having the best season they’ve had in two decades and finally winning the Premier League again.

Friday Cannon Fodder: Introductions!

Canadian forward Cloé Lacasse has departed Arsenal Women after one season, completing a permanent transfer to Utah Royals in the NWSL. Lacasse, 31, score 3 WSL goals and 5 goals in all competitions last season. Bought to provide depth for an Arsenal attack re-integrating Beth Mead following the Lioness’ ACL injury, Lacasse played just 641 league minutes, with supplemental minutes in the Conti Cup and Women’s FA Cup. Having become part of the Canadian national team, Lacasse has departed in part to secure first team football.

We’re still a little ways off from the start of college football and the NFL, but the best football video of the year has already dropped. It’s not a spectacular catch or a mammoth hit, but a mom heading straight from work to football practice to teach her son some blocking fundamentals.

Both the men’s and women’s U.S. basketball team came home from Paris with the ultimate hardware: Olympic gold medals. For the men, Paris marked a fourth consecutive Olympic gold, while for the women, the win streak extended to 8 straight gold medals. Both teams were unsurprisingly dominant throughout the Olympics, going 6-0 en route to gold — with the men winning by an average of 22 points, and the women by 15.7 points.

Premier League season predictions are fun. They’re even more fun when you take the handbrake off and fire away with some bold, scorching hot, takes. The more outlandish, while still being defensible, the better. Something like “Kai Havertz will lead the Premier League in goals” would be an excellent bold prediction, but “William Saliba will lead the Premier League in goals” would not be.
