Kick it!<\/p>\n
Jayden Daniels and his handlers have decided to go to war with LSU over the use of his name\/image\/likeness.<\/p>\n
Daniels is upset because his #5 jersey was issued to another player. Now, it’s a battle.<\/p>\n
LSU hasn’t issued Joe Burrow’s #9 to anyone since he won the Heisman\u2026so I understand the hurt feelings\u2026But Heaven’s gates, and Hell’s flames, Daniels, you’re the starting quarterback of the Washington TaxSkins! Stay focused.<\/p>\n
Heard a comment today on Matthew Stafford’s injury history. In his second season, 2010, Stafford played in only three games. He didn’t miss another game for eight years. <\/p>\n
In 2019, Stafford played in eight games, and in 2022, as a result of the Rams’ offensive line chainsaw massacre, he appeared in only nine.<\/p>\n
In 2023, he played in 15 games; in 2024, 16 games; and in 2025, 17 games. This doesn’t mean he’s immune to injury, but he certainly isn’t Joe Burrow.<\/p>\n
Last Add Stafford:<\/strong> He’s played in 239 of a possible 277 games. In just six seasons, Burrow has already missed 20 games. <\/p>\n I’ll say it again, I love the NFL pre-season\u2026 It’s about expectations. I don’t expect to see great football or a great game.<\/p>\n What I’m seeing is guys for the dream they’ve had since they first started playing pass and catch in the street. I love seeing who’s in the Practice Squad pipeline.<\/p>\n And I always enjoy saying, “Oh, that’s what happened to that guy.”<\/p>\n I’ve never spoken to a specialist on this\u2026but thinking of Russell Westbrook and his 18 NBA seasons, 19 years counting UCLA, of being in the basketball conversation\u2026How can someone play\u2026commit all that time\/energy\/effort and not be a competent outside shooter?<\/p>\n I’m not slamming Westbrook’s career, but what chip are you missing that you can’t integrate competent into your game?<\/p>\n I’m not saying everyone has to shoot like Barry, Bird, or Steph\u2026but only to shoot well enough where teams pay a price for cheating on you.<\/p>\n I can shoot the ball. I haven’t played in years, and I know I could go onto a court and have a more than a reasonable chance of hitting a 20-footer (25!) from the top of the key.<\/p>\n My basketball problem was too short, too slow, too unathletic, and being all earth. (Also grades, if I want to give all the reasons)<\/p>\n But I could shoot.<\/p>\n When you’re an NBA player, you’ve got one job\u2026how can you not shoot?<\/p>\n Last Add Basketball:<\/strong> How long until somebody in the WNBA gets Tomjanovich\u2019d?<\/p>\n The MLB brought back the “Field of Dreams” game\u2026whatever\u2026<\/p>\n Question:<\/strong> Is Tampa Bay, currently riding a nine-game winning streak, peaking too soon? When is the right time to peak in the MLB? Now? Late August? September?<\/p>\n #92\u2014May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth. <\/p>\n Last Add Patrick Mahomes:<\/strong> The Kansas City Chiefs won two Super Bowls with Isiah Pacheco, a seventh-round pick, as its lead back. A competent running back can be found, but in a passing league even the best quarterback needs a number one receiver. KC is failing Mahomes.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s why I like the Bolts and Broncos in the AFC West.<\/p>\n The Dude abides\u2026<\/p>\n 1,339<\/strong> By Joe Torosian Kick it!
