Even if nobody asked…..
1. Tom Brady calling Mahomes “Patrick” and Kelsie “Travis” over and over on the Chiefs/49er’s broadcast Sunday implies the kind of friendliness that tells the audience that an impartial point of view has been intercepted. Be better than that 12.
2. I have little interest in Red Zone TV. I’d much rather have Third Down TV. Best play in football. Put a man on that, Roger.
3. The new look Knicks had a wardrobe malfunction last night in Boston that would have made Janet Jackson blush.
4. Can we talk about a guy that won the Triple Crown and the Gold Glove leading the league in BA, Hits, HR’s, Runs, RBI’s, Total Bases, SLG and OPS? None of those are the most amazing thing to me. In 704 plate appearances he struck out 69 times. He also hit it .400 with four HRs in the World Series. The year, 1967; the man, #8, the captain, Carl Yastrzemski.
5. Bill Belichick had to go, and the new staff is terrible can BOTH be true. 1-6 seems to be making them mutually EXCLUSIVE. They’re not.
6. As kids we loved to respond to certain righteous karma in a pickup game as “GOD TOLD.” In related news, Tropicana Field, never a place where the crowd could blow the roof off, lost its roof to a hurricane. Yeah. “GOD TOLD”.
7. Red Sox pitcher (DL all season) Luis Giolito played on the same high school baseball team in LA as MLB pitchers Jack Flaherty and Max Fried. How about facing THAT staff in a series when you were 16 or 17?
8. Why I can’t take many of today’s NBA offensive statistics seriously when weighed against the 80’s and 90’s: You get an extra step now (stop yelling at me, I know it’s TWO), illegal screens aren’t illegal anymore (here comes the pulling guard!) and 39% of all shot attempt are from a spot where you are awarded 50% more points! Don’t tell me about who the actual leading, or best, scorers are in NBA history based on TODAY’S statistical fiction. I’m ready to hand out some asterisks!
9. Dolphins aspiring teen idol head coach Mike McDaniel rocking the Jheri curl thing under his headset with skinny jeans and just the right skip to his step is something I never thought I’d see in my NFL viewership lifetime. This is progress?
10. If Draft Kings loaded up the 2024 presidential election there are two things I would bet (if I were a betting man): Lay the points and bet the over 😎.
There you have it! Thanks for watching.
