Photo by DIRK WAEM/BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images [Update Feb 5] It’s about to happen, I promise! And as suggested in the comment thread, with the site changes taking extra time, we are planning to start the competition with the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, returning to our original format before the UAE Tour elbowed its way in. All due respect, World Tour points are a thing, but the real start of the season for many of us is when they roll out of Gent on March 1. I have never been a fan of Feb...
AC Milan have picked up some silverware in an incredible comeback victory in the derby against Inter Milan in Riyadh. Sergio Conceicao’s side came from two goals down to win 3-2 at the death and lifted the Supercoppa Italiana for the first time since Vincenzo Montella’s side in 2016/17. Inter opened the scoring right at […]
AC Milan are off to a gritty and positive start under Sergio Conceicao with an important 2-1 victory over Juventus in the semi final of the Coppa Italia in Riyadh. It was a tale of two halves as the Rossoneri looked horrid for the first 45 minutes but really turned it around after the break […]

and some last 2025 FSA DS instructions This is it. I do not know when SBNation plans to turn the site off (read-only mode), but I assume it is by January 1. First things first, as I’ve signaled before, the FSA Directeur Sportif is cued up for another go-round. Not sure about 2026, but 2025 is on. I can’t deprive myself of the chance to price Tadej Pogačar after his megamonster year. Or deprive all of you of the dilemma that price will pose. I could never look Ursula in the eye again if I mis...
AC Milan have officially announced on their website the arrival of Sergio Conceicao as the new manager to replace Paulo Fonseca after just 6 months. He has been given an 18 month contract clearly with an expectation to perform before an extension is granted. The Portuguese gaffer will take over as head coach heading into […]
Photo by Tim de Waele/Corbis via Getty Images A look back at the whole Flanders thing and what it meant to the Café This final* post is appropriately dedicated to, uh, for shorthand let’s call it Belgium and the Classics. Shorthand because it naturally includes France and the Netherlands to a significant degree, not to mention riders from around the globe. To the extent that concerns the thing I wrote about the most, that would be the cobbled classics, though it’s hard not to loop in the ...
A handful of things that made it unique around here I have no idea how to structure this post so I’m just gonna get into it. Things got kind of strange at times, probably a function of American fans in our Editors’ circle. When your favorite sport delivers the best it has before lunch, you have all sorts of time to indulge the ideas knocking around your head. Keep in mind that the online cycling content alternatives consisted of CyclingNews and VeloNews, not known for weird humor (stupid edito...

A Cafe Bookshelf I don’t know exactly why, but ... I just like words. In some ways this site’s roots were only tangentially about cycling and really was just a continuation of my literature studies. Yes, I was a lit major, and not a very accomplished one. Like, at all. The study of literature requires a dedication and focus beyond what regular people OMG A SQUIRREL!!! Where was I? Oh yeah, literature. There are a lot of ways in which the Podium Cafe came along at the right time — post-L...
The Internet Can’t Contain the PdC Community! Maybe everybody thinks they were born at exactly the right time, but personally I can make a pretty good case. I can say I remember the 60s (maybe a couple days?), I saw Apocalypse Now! in theaters, and a bunch of other stuff, but all of that is debatable. What is not is that people my age have the healthiest understanding of modern technology, especially the internet. We can remember clearly what life was like before it. [Funny story, I used to pl...

The Green Bay Packers pressured Sam Darnold 14 times on Sunday, their second-lowest total of the season. Only against the Indianapolis Colts did they record fewer pressures. According to Pro Football Focus, Devonte Wyatt and Kenny Clark lead the Packers with 9 total pressures each. Rashan Gary and Preston Smith follow with 6, while J.J. Enagbare, Karl Brooks, and T.J. Slaton each have 5. No other Packer has recorded more than five pressures this season. Green Bay heads to Los Angeles to fa...
What do you get when your team takes a tough loss to a divisional rival at home early in the season? You get members of the fan base doing their best Chicken Little impression outside the stadium believing the sky is falling. They think this is it, my team isn't going anywhere this year unless a drastic change is made immediately. They think it's over, this team can't get it done, and they look towards the distant future. The problem with this is, in the Packers' case at least this season, it...
The weather was too nice for a game like that on Sunday at Lambeau Field. With all the momentum of winning two games without Jordan Love, the Packers had no answers early for Sam Darnold, Aaron Jones and Justin Jefferson as they skated off to a 28-0 lead before fans could crack their first Miller Lite. The turnovers, the pass rush and just mistake-riddled effort is not what we had in mind. But even with the brutal start, the Packers made it more than interesting, getting to within 6 points f...

My source inside the Vikings organization tell me the Vikings saved some money this week by not needing to have Sam Darnold's jersey laundered. Look, I watched a lot of Sam Darnold when he played for the Jets. I liked him coming out of college and would always tell my Giants fans friends that he would be a better quarterback than Daniel Jones. He has a strong and accurate arm when he can comfortably step into throws, When he's under pressure is when it all falls apart and the interceptions and...

Sunday’s game from Jordan Love seemed like a typical up-and-down performance for a quarterback making just his 23rd career NFL start. It was also his first start coming off a major injury. His rustiness in the first half wasn’t too surprising. In 16 years as the Packers starting quarterback Brett Favre never missed a game from an injury and in 15 years, Aaron Rodgers missed games three times from injury (2010 - concussion, 2013 and 2017 - broken collarbone). First the good, Love had a care...
After re-watching the Packers game, here are three plays that made me go hmmm, for various reasons. In general, I try to focus on a theme, the less obvious, or things I didn't notice watching live. These are not likely to be "highlight" plays. Packers two-point conversion Before Matt LaFleur came to town, the Packers success on two point conversions ranked somewhere from middle of the pack to bottom third in the NFL. Since his arrival, their success rate has ranked them in the top 10 to to...

Not a great week! At least we had some glimpses of positivity and I don't have to write about a 30-point Packers loss. Vikings The Vikings held on to win against the Pack, 31-29 (there were two missed field goals for the Packers). Game Notes This was a weird one. The Vikings got out to a 28-0 lead thanks to some bad turnovers and missed opportunities from the Packers and then had an insane punt muff lead to a touchdown right before the half that started an avalanche of Packers point...
