Like Ted Lasso himself, American sports fans are finding themselves thrown into a strange new world of soccer. Let's start with football. Well, our football, not... you know what I mean. The NFL now has weekly kickoffs played across the pond, in soccer stadiums, kicking off at, like, 7 AM. Feels very much like the Premier League.

It's Indiana, so you gotta start with basketball. The Indiana Fever has the biggest star in WNBA history. Caitlin Clark. AND they almost made the WNBA Finals with Clark injured. Plus, their second-most-popular player, Sophie Cunningham, was also out. Speaking of the finals, the Indiana Pacers captured the nation's heart with one of the most surprising, exciting, and improbable runs to the NBA Finals. The Pacers (arguably) ended one Achilles tendon shy of a Game 7 victory.
