Harbor Miller was left off the '22 under 22' MLS Rankings this season. I asked Miller, who assisted on Klauss' goal that opened the game for the Galaxy, if he used that as a fire for himself. #LAGalaxy #MLS

This is against the First Amendment. Just because someone has leaked something, does not mean a journalist should be held accountable if the information is truthful, verifiable and correct.

From the bottom of my heart, thanks so much to everyone who joined us throughout the season for #MLS360. Drama like this on @MLS Decision Day was an incredible way to wrap up the regular season. Roll on the playoffs 😁 #MLS Appreciate you all ❤️

I used to be a really envious hater of his. I am going to be so sad the day he retires. One of the most watchable athletes of this generation. The definition of fluid.
Steph Curry tonight: 41 PTS | 6 REB | 6 AST | 13-19 FG | 5-10 3PT | 10-10 FT VINTAGE. GOAT. TIMELESS. MVP.

I am starting a new sports podcast that I’m excited to share with you all soon while staying up to date with my studies and covering more local Southern California sports teams. If people have suggestions or connections, never be afraid to reach out. Let’s keep going!
I want to take this time to thank the LA Galaxy fans and MLS viewers for supporting my news coverage, my social media posts and for engaging in discourse. It’s my job to write stories and it’s a pleasure doing it for a local team that’s allowed me to do so. See you all in winter!

Steph Curry wants less random basketball On what Steve Kerr is installing: “Less random basketball and offense. Trying to get more organized and more pattern-based.” Chaos can create a shot Structure makes EVERYBODY better Have we been celebrating too much freestyle offense and not enough organization?

There will never and I mean NEVER be a panel to achieve what Inside achieved. Just the most natural, real and amazing show. I laugh every single time.

Greg Vanney answers a question about his tenure with the Galaxy and whether he's worried about it continuing? "I still think personally, I still think I can win championships in this league. It's just a it's a matter of the moment and the opportunity and getting our group together and everybody working together consistently. But again, not my decision." #LAGalaxy #MLS

It is confirmed that RSL will play at the Seattle Sounders for the Wild Card Match. What a season for a team that lost players like Luna to injury and sold Gozo all the way to making the play in game. #RealSaltLake #MLS
Credit to Real Salt Lake for doing its homework. RSL came out, pressed and never let off the gas. Probably deserved 4-5 goals in that game and the referee gave a few calls LA’s way. Unknown if they’re in the playoffs, but a great Decision Day for RSL. #RealSaltLake #MLS

Do you think Greg Vanney should stay the head coach of the LA Galaxy? What other changes would you make to the team between now and the 2027 Sprint Season? #LAGalaxy #MLS

I truly don’t like to overreact. I also don’t like doing the “I told you so” or “smartest guy in the room” thing. Covering these games as a journalist, you see the game differently. The Galaxy had no identity. Lots of questions for the front office going into winter. #LAGalaxy

The LA Galaxy can't blame anybody else but themselves. Multiple points dropped from winning positions. The case has never been stronger for massive changes in the club. #LAGalaxy

The Galaxy had no identity this season. Sometimes you felt they were a good team and that if people had stayed healthy, LA are closer to the top half of the West. That was not the team that came out tonight. The defense was clueless and the offense was flat. #LAGalaxy #MLS

I get that Reus expected Klauss to slot that home, but have to be ready to shoot in this game. 20 minutes left, the Galaxy need two goals to keep its playoff hopes alive. #LAGalaxy #MLS #RealSaltLake
