No, I didn’t care enough to watch Game Five of the Stanley Cup Final Live. But I do respect the sport of hockey and hockey players. Congrats to the Vegas Golden Knights on a dominant performance. Last guy in The Cup is a rotten egg…
PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan is taking a leave of absence to recover from an undisclosed “medical condition.” My money is on “anal fissure.” I’m still LIV-id.
You think you have abandonment issues? Imagine being an Oakland sports fan.
Stefon Diggs is a first-rate receiver. Top five in the NFL, IMO. But at a position largely populated by Drama Princesses, Diggs is the unchallenged Queen Diva. I hope Bills coach Sean McDermott has a flask in an office desk drawer. Good gravy, Diggs…
A word of caution for Josh Allen. Once you start kissing a guy’s ass, it’s very difficult to ever remove your lips from his derriere.
Dalvin Cook and I share a birthday. August 10. He’ll be 28 in a couple of months. I’ll be 69. It’s a head-scratcher to think that he may be regarded as older in his profession than I am in mine. I think we both have plenty left in our tanks. DC says he’s in no hurry to sign on with another team after his unceremonious release from the Vikings. If I were say, the Dolphins, I’d be in one heckuva hurry to land him. Cook is still very much a difference-maker.
I’m now convinced the Cowboys will re-sign Zeke. It makes no sense not to.
“He doesn’t make the same mistake twice.” That’s Texans coach DeMeco Ryans’ mini-camp observation about rookie QB C.J. Stroud. That’s a good quality in a rook, or anyone else. For now, Ryans is saying there will be an open competition this summer between Stroud and Davis Mills. While I don’t doubt Ryans’ sincerity, I know how these things work in today’s NFL. It’ll be Stroud. And I’m fine with that.
Who’s cool? Steelers third-year RB Najee Harris, for one. I love everything about that guy. He shows up. He balls. He takes care of his body. He respects the position of running back, at a time when GMs and even fans appear to be losing interest. He smiles. He enjoys his job. Very cool. Refreshing, even.
You know who else is cool? Bullwinkle. Am I wrong?
Following a depressing 2-5 road trip, the Astros got their nine-game homestand off to a hot start Tuesday with a 6-1 pasting of the Nationals. Four homers, and Altuve scored his 1.000th career run. Time to make hay, Houston!
