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

By Joe Torosian<\/p>\n

Kick it!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to The Ravine tonight. <\/p>\n

The plan, for now, is to have a meal. Dodger Dog, peanuts, water\u2026 the problem is, I don\u2019t have a co-signer\u2026Anyone want to help me out?<\/p>\n

\u2026And what sort of pretentious joint doesn\u2019t take cash?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a Mets fan, I\u2019d say, \u201cGo Mets!\u201d if I could, but it doesn\u2019t look like my team\u2019s going anywhere.<\/p>\n

Where have you gone, Lucas Duda? The 7-Line turns its lonely eyes to you.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s talk about former Raider\/Alabama wide receiver, Henry Ruggs, who killed a 23-year-old woman by ramming his car into her while drunk, coming back to the NFL if he makes parole this August.<\/p>\n

Call me crazy, but after killing someone by driving 156 mph into the back of a car and burning the driver and her dog to death while massively over the legal limit\u2026and getting released after serving 36 months doesn\u2019t sound much like justice to me.<\/p>\n

Staying in the desert, I knew Phoenix would struggle in the play-in game without Walter Davis.<\/p>\n

Lost in WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert\u2019s draft presser\u2014beyond mandated grievance at being asked a question\u2014was her unintended outing of the \u2018thousands of women, diverse people, and men\u2019 who help run the WNBA. Run a league that has never made a profit in 29 seasons and loses millions each year.
\nGood to know.
\nWith that said, how do you expand and give the players more money\u2026unless someone is printing money for you?<\/p>\n

Dianna Russini re-signs\u2026and doesn\u2019t fight back\u2026and basically confirms everything the pictures of her and Mike Vrabel implied.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re innocent but accused of an ethical\/moral violation, and your reputation is about to be destroyed, you fight and go scorched earth. You don\u2019t rollover.<\/p>\n

And, I actually liked her content. Russini presented\u2014no pun intended\u2014as someone who did the work.<\/p>\n

If the NFL decides to put Sunday Night Football on Netflix, I won\u2019t follow. The only thing Netflix has is Seinfeld\u2026and it is incapable of doing sports.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll say it again, Elon, Bezos, and a bunch of their billionaire friends with blank-you money need to start a league of their own in direct competition with the NFL.<\/p>\n

Then again, Bezos is already in league with the NFL.<\/p>\n

The NFL is exercising unchecked tyranny on its fans because there is nothing and no one to hold it accountable.<\/p>\n

Looking at LaMelo Ball\u2014after taking down Bam\u2014I have to ask, out of curiosity, not judgment, when does ink become enough ink? Isn\u2019t there a threshold you cross where all the individual tats meld into one blurry tat? Thus losing the intended impact of the statement.<\/p>\n

Final Add WNBA: Overs & Unders on how many games into the season before Caitlin Clark is cheap-shotted and sidelined?<\/p>\n

I say less than five.<\/p>\n

The only thing missing with the Hornets last night was Kelly Tripucka, Rex Chapman, and pleated shorts. But who needs any of those guys when Coby White is going full Lamar Mundane?<\/p>\n

#25\u2014May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth\u2026<\/p>\n

Something to remember about the NFL Draft\u2026is that there are always receivers and edge rushers from one year to the next. Yes, there are outliers, but quarterback is the only position outlier you need to win a Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

Two players worth trading up for? Jeremiyah Love and Sonny Styles\u2026and if I didn\u2019t have to go to far\u2014because you can always find a receiver\u2014Carnell Tate.<\/p>\n

The Dude abides\u2026<\/p>\n
