I'm incredibly excited to share that @Novig is now the Official Prediction Market Partner of the New York Mets! Many of my favorite memories as a kid were watching @Mets games with my grandfathers, who were both lifelong fans. It's a team that's been part of my life for as long https://t.co/FcTEGPO4Vq

This is the simplest solution to the ridiculous offside rule that annoys so many new fans. Yes, there’d still be the same number of edge cases, but it would be in the offense’s favor and result in a better product. Similar energy as “tie goes to the runner” rule. https://t.co/uOPqbR4Ogx

From a skills and impact perspective (excluding trophies), Kane is closer to Ronaldo and than Ronaldo is to Messi. Convince me I'm wrong.
