Joe T., always working hard…<\/p><\/div>\n

By Joe Torosian<\/p>\n

Kick it!<\/p>\n

The state of Mississippi is considering a bill to make NIL money tax-free\u2026I love the chaos. Now, if D.C. could figure out a way to make our paychecks tax-free, then you\u2019d have something.<\/p>\n

Quick answer to a question. I was asked if I saw the blood moon the other night\u2026No, I didn\u2019t. Blood moons never fulfill the apocalyptic promises made about them. They always leave me disappointed.<\/p>\n

The following statement will be repeated 162 times this season\u2026
\n#1\u2014May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth.<\/p>\n

FanView\/Cactus League went to Municipal Stadium in Scottsdale on Tuesday. Team USA was facing the Giants.<\/p>\n

Bryce Harper, Aaron Judge, Kyle Schwarber, and all the other MLB standouts on the roster\u2026in the lineup, at the same time, exactly what you don\u2019t see in a typical Spring Training game\u2026<\/p>\n

The group I\u2019m with decided to splurge. We each paid $125 to sit in the shaded right field dining area. All food, drinks, desserts, and amenities are covered\u2026along with programs, complimentary sunglasses, and sunscreen.<\/p>\n

And it came with a table\u2026Too good to be true\u2026and it was\u2026The first inning\u2019s not even over, and management comes and says they oversold. <\/p>\n

Say what?<\/p>\n

\u201cThis table belongs to season seat holders.\u201d<\/p>\n

They move us\u2026to a section with no view of the field\u2014\u201ctemporarily.\u201d <\/p>\n

We complain because we can\u2019t see the field. They offer us a \u201cfix\u201d that is closer to the field, but the view of the infield is obstructed.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s no talk of money\u2026no refunds\u2026So we ended up at the bar and watched the entire thing on TV\u2026<\/p>\n

Management\u2019s final words to us were, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, guys, we\u2019ll take care of you.\u201d  Then we were forgotten faster than a friend calling when broke down somewhere in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019ve come to this conclusion\u2026My hatred of the Giants now exceeds my loathing of the Dodgers.
\n#2\u2014May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth.<\/p>\n

Last Add Baseball: Speaking of things that cost $125, as I checked out the merch on the memorabilia table\u2026They had some amazing stuff\u2026but there was also a signed ball by Greg Swindell\u2026for a 125-bucks<\/p>\n

I know Scottsdale is the Austin of Arizona\u2026and it\u2019s located in Maricopa County, for goodness sakes\u2026so the value of $125 isn\u2019t what the rest of America, likely, thinks it should be.<\/p>\n

Speaking of madness\u2026the idea of a WNBA work stoppage thrills me. What seems to have been forgotten is that, back in 2024, the players opted out of their CBA.<\/p>\n

Note that: In a league that makes no money, the players opted out of their CBA.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been involved with several online start-ups\u2026 and I\u2019ve never made any money until the website started making money. Weird concept, huh?<\/p>\n

The likely thinking was that they\u2019d be bailed out with USAID money\u2026That was on October 31st\u2026 and less than a week later, an election happened\u2026<\/p>\n

But I jest.<\/p>\n

Kyler Murray, with his buyout money from the Arizona Cardinals, can purchase the WNBA.<\/p>\n

Chicago Bears center Drew Dalman, a huge free agent signing & hit for the Bears last season, intends to retire.<\/p>\n

Dalman, 27, is stepping away after five seasons in the league. The Atlanta Falcons drafted him 4\/114\/2021 out of Stanford. He had signed a 3-year\/42-Rock contract.<\/p>\n

With the Bears committed to finding defensive help, they now need to find a new anchor for the offensive line. I\u2019m thrilled because it sets them back. <\/p>\n

Dalman made 14-Rocks last year; free-agent Baltimore Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum is expected to set the market this year with a projected value of 4 years for 80-Rocks.<\/p>\n

Arizona State upset Kansas last night, 70-60, in Tempe\u2026Jayhawks guard Darryn Peterson played, and he played 34 minutes\u2026but shot just 3-of-18\u2026Fright night!<\/p>\n
