By Joe Torosian Kick it! Big day yesterday…and bigger morning today with the sale of the Lakers. The sense is that Dodger owner Mark Walter was forced into this sale…and I’m guessing that, at some point in some meeting over the last few days, he declared, “I always lead with love…the rest of you can […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! The NBA trying to gin up excitement of LeBron James playing the Lakers on Christmas Day…is like NBC trying to build intrigue over Ross getting together with Rachel in 2026.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! The best part of the NFL Hall of Fame induction week/weekends has always been the speeches. I love the gratitude expressed, and it stands out even more in 2026 as ingratitude has joined victimhood as the emotional currency of our culture.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! The Hall of Fame game…wasn’t boring. I know we all got hungry eyes, but there’s nothing like football. Nothing.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! I was asked if I found Sophie Cunningham attractive. I said yes. I always find someone who doesn’t back down from a bold statement attractive. Throughout history, courage has always been attractive, and lack of courage unattractive.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! While I don’t recommend it, it is interesting when working away from your desk—your RamCave, like at a summer camp—to hear the sports news trickle in. The stuff people are talking about, the surface stuff, the links everyone else is reading provides a healthy reset. The hot topic besides LeBron […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! As the first day of my third camp in five weeks begins, I’ve had plenty of time to listen to sports and sports talk while driving north. I didn’t believe my first thought — it couldn’t be true —but it was later confirmed when I saw the lowlights of the […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! The Rams dropped their 2026 unis last night, and I’m so glad it is done. I love the white and blue. I love the 1951 historic. My only problem is that somewhere during the 2026 season they will employ those horrific Midnight Mode/Blue/Rivalry uniforms.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Is anyone other than the media on pins and needles waiting for LeBron James to make a decision? NFL uniform reveals are more compelling. (Tell me LeBron’s negotiations don’t involve bringing Bronny with him? Please.) Saw a great question this morning…Will Lamar Jackson ever win a Super Bowl?

By Joe Torosian Kick it! If you’re looking for a non-story…Ty Simpson hasn’t signed his contract…Yawn. …And neither has Fernando Mendoza.
