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.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! In five years, everyone will be watching the WNBA. I said it. We will all be watching the Wemby National Basketball Association. (WNBA)

By Joe Torosian Kick it! A half game separates the Dodgers and Padres. The teams hate each other, it’s a big rivalry, and it’s not being broadcast nationally. But if you want to see the game in person at PETCO Park tonight, you’ll need 86 bones for a seat in the Chula Vista section. The […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! I risk hypocrisy here because I’m going to watch these games, but does anyone find the NFL’s holiday schedule a bit invasive?  And a little bit scary in that the culture has finally found something we can’t say no to on a major holiday? Big enough to pull us away […]

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.
