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 […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Oh, I’ve always been a Reed Shepphard fan. Could the Lakers end up swallowing the whole jalapeño in their series with the Houston Rockets? It looks that way. Think of all the good feelings and warm fuzzies of this late-season run going in the tank…or getting flushed—to use the phrase […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Nick Van Exel should have trademarked “Cancun” for as often as we hear it at this point in the NBA season. I like the NCAA tourney, but really? 76 teams for both the men and the women? I think 40 teams is stretching it these days.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! I had such big plans for today…but when I came through the door, it said to me, “What an excellent day for an exorcism.”

By Joe Torosian Kick it! The Stanley Cup playoff is one of the greatest things in sports—except for a nice MLT—mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean…But the Kings are out, so I’m done. First two days of the draft, 100 players taken, 17 wide receivers, and not one of […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Winner Dan Orlovsky! For last night’s draft to be a success, the Rams have to win the Super Bowl this year. At the post-draft presser, Sean McVay looked about as happy as a Katie Porter staffer. And that might be a bigger issue than Ty Simpson’s drafting.
