By Joe Torosian Kick it! I’m getting excited about college football, but is anyone else a bit tired of USC-San Jose State? I know they haven’t played since 2023, but it feels like they play all the time. The Trojans playing the Spartans is like taking your girlfriend to AM-PM on the first date. “Baby, […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Call me crazy,  but when you give up three goals in less than twenty minutes, it doesn’t mean you got robbed. It means you choked. If we want to get into conspiracies, since he’s tight with Argentina’s Javier Milei, Trump probably called FIFA to make sure the fix was in […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! In 1994, soccer in the U.S. was said to have reached a turning point… In 2026, we’re still waiting for it to complete the turn. How marvelous…

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Many of the same people screaming injustice over Folarin Balogun’s Red Card suspension are now screaming injustice over him being cleared to play. Do you think it has anything to do with Trump’s name being attached to it? Lol.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! As a Casual, aren’t the Actuals making too much out of Team USA’s loss to Turkey last night?  Or are the people yacking like Actuals really just Posers, who don’t understand how the World Cup/Soccer works?

By Joe Torosian Kick it! I won’t say LaMelo Ball’s not compelling to watch—he is. But something about him—even as the best of the Ball brothers—has always seemed a bit off.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Why do I love sports? Because I learned life lessons and gained understanding through sports that I never would have learned in the classroom. The first one I can remember was from marbles. They were a big deal when I was a kid. You played for keeps, it was understood, […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! I’m not early to this party—in fact, I’m a bit late—but story matters. I’m not really a fan of either, but the World Cup and WNBA are really interesting stories. I was prepared for Messi, I knew about Mbappé, but the Norwegians? Who knew?

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Los Angeles Rams HC Sean McVay getting a shoe deal—a head coach getting a shoe deal—gives me an idea.  Since we have print-on-demand, a shoe company could produce a sneaker on demand with any individual’s name and design on it. Now, that’s an idea waiting to pump or pop.
