My favorite TV show for a decade or so has been Stephen Colbert’s Late Show. Since CBS is dropping him and even the Late Show itself, I’m already in grieving mode. This has me thinking about popular culture vis-a-vis me. We all get attached to aspects of popular culture. For example I have had an age-inappropriate crush on Taylor Swift since she was barely legal. When I heard she was going to marry that Kelce-interloper stud, and saw my fantasies twinkle out like Christmas tree lights in Lent, I was differently crushed. This, though I never focused enough on her

In the sixth minute of last Sunday’s friendly against Senegal, the US men’s national team were midway through what became a 20-pass sequence of sustained possession. Beginning with a throw-in along the left touchline, just inside the opponent’s half, the World Cup co-hosts tried to break down the visitors to no avail, eventually recirculating back to the center-backs to survey their next route.

Even when lined up as a nominal defender – he has logged most of his 38 international caps as a
