the 'catherine o'hara could do [insert character] but [insert actor] couldn't do [insert catherine o'hara character]' format is the only way to adequately define catherine o'hara's talent

i’ve had this saved for years because i thought i’d use it as a reaction often but it’s too good for that so i just keep it in my album to laugh at when i get sad

back in the same room for the first time since the 2024 Olympics, it’s triple espresso!

Jurgen Klopp still uninterested in Real Madrid, committed to Red Bull role Klopp has been name-dropped in speculation following Xabi Alonso's ouster at Real Madrid last week, but the ex-Liverpool manager has said multiple times that he is not in the running for the vacancy

back from Leipzig with a couple of stories, the first of which is about the big topic of last week:

Jurgen Klopp ended his week the same way he started it — reiterating his disinterest in the Real Madrid job

“I'm at peace. I don't want to be somewhere else.”

Inside the NWSL's first combine: Can the league create a more robust pathway for American talent development? The NWSL hosted its first-ever combine in Bradenton, Fla. in December, which acted as a showcase for college players that hope to turn professional and serves as a solution after the league eliminated...
