By Joe Torosian Kick it! Question: Does anyone hate to lose? Or is the idea of hating to lose a jejune concept these days? Again, why are so many NBA playoff games ending with 20+ point differentials? It requires me to ask, again, does anybody hate to lose? I liked the energy between the OKC […]

By Tim Byrnes I started sports writing by covering the NFL and I have never considered the medium to be work. While I recognize I am but a visitor in the realm of written text, and it is in fact quite a test to put thought to paper, writing is something I enjoy so it […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! The more hockey I watch, the more I miss Bob Miller. Will Shohei Ohtani be the first person in major sports to be cloned? Think what his DNA/Blood is worth to the folk who work with genetics?

By Joe Torosian Kick it! I’m requesting a urinalysis test for Alex Caruso. Dude’s good, but I think he’s swigging the form of purple drank that the Dodgers give journeymen when they arrive at the Ravine.  Victor Wembanyama at the foul line makes Pedro Baez seem fast on the mound.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Oh, I have always been a Vegas Golden Knights fan! Just call me, Pavel. OKC on Friday night looked like the defending champions. On Sunday, San Antonio looked like future champions, and Wemby like the Chosen One.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! I think it’s so groovy, now the Knicks are finally gettin’ it together…I think it’s wonderful how Jalen Brunson is pulling ’em all together. Note to the Knicks: Yes, you won, and we’re two games closer to the Cavs going away…but you are the fricken New York Knicks, why on […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! For the guys who can sky on a basketball court, is there ever a time when you think you’ve jumped too high? Last night, I was about to write, “Who is like Wembanyama? Who is able to make war with him?”….and then I saw what Isaiah Hartenstein and fatigue did […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Just call me Knick… The Cavaliers—with a 22-point fourth quarter lead last night and losing in OT—are the poster boys for what it means to swallow the jalapeño.
