By Joe Torosian Kick it! Yasiel Puig is crushing the ball in Canada. Magic Johnson has endorsed Karen Bass for re-election as mayor of Los Angeles? …Dang! That changes everything… Media: “Lamar Jackson is in the building, Lamar Jackson is working hard, Lamar Jackson is poised to win his third MVP.”

By Joe Torosian Kick it! So, for the World Cup, SoFi gets grass, but Uncle Stan couldn’t put grass in for his own team? Why wouldn’t McSnead argue for that? Is there anybody in the world of sports, ever, who has demonstrated douchery at a more galactic level than Lane Kiffin? Every time you think […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! I have a definite interest in the Timberwolves and Spurs. I want to see how Wemby responds tonight. I want to see if Minnesota ratchets up the pressure. …And when a rumble breaks out I want to hear the broadcasters’ hollow lament of, “Oh, no one wants to see this.”

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Wemby getting bounced for throwing an elbow doesn’t make him a dirty player, but it confirms that you need to be physical with him. He’ll mature, learn how to channel it, but, for now, if I’m the Timberwolves, I’m running dude after dude after dude at him to induce another […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Are you telling me I missed the Skip & Stephen A. reunion this morning?  Thank you! Best news I’ve had since my electrician charged me $150 an hour. No one will ever accuse me of being a LeBron apologist, but the dude got hosed by the refs last night.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! I’m curious, does anyone watch Barstool Sports? I usually catch the end, but not always, and I have to say, it gives me hope. The Spurs, in more traditional garb, playing in a space dressed a little more like HemisFair Arena, were a lot easier to digest Wednesday night.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! I’m curious, are people really excited about the WNBA season? Who’s going to contend? Who’s going to surprise?…Or is everyone waiting to see the next cheap shot on Caitlin Clark? Let’s be honest, there’s nothing to watch beyond Clark. I wasn’t in on the Stefon Diggs-to-the-Rams talk, but with his […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Just call me, Knick. Is my worst nightmare the Dodgers winning a third consecutive World Series? No. My worst nightmare is Team USA winning the World Cup. I can’t think of a more catastrophic event happening to American sport.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Shohei Ohtani is 0 for his last 14. Is the party over at UNIQLO? I mean, even Peterson, back in the day, didn’t go 0 for 14 when asking someone out. Fernando Mendoza choosing practice and the Raiders over a White House visit has to give Las Vegas warm fuzzies.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! If you don’t know what “42-15-7” means…then you shouldn’t talk basketball…Just run along, back, to Camp Snoopy and wait for the WNBA season to start. What is clear, if not for LeBron—I said it—this series would be 3-2 in favor of the Rockets, who are just faster and younger. If […]
