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.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! I got up this morning, had my pancakes, and started thinking about moving off #13…So who’s desperate? The Detroit Lions need a tackle.  The Rams could move back, collect some capital, and fill multiple depth needs.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! So it’s Earth Day… The day every guy who played basketball with a 3-inch vertical leap is celebrated. … Feels good to finally be acknowledged. Just call me Scoot. I knew LeBron wanted to win last night because I saw him play through contact and the hard breathing of defenders […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! In a dark way, the Mets did something right…they didn’t re-sign Edwin “El Sugar” Diaz. Literally, it’s the only thing that’s gone right for the Mets since failing to acquire another starter at last year’s trade deadline.  With the NFL Draft looming and the Rams owning the 13th pick, it […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! How does the greatest team in MLB history lose twice in Colorado? I’m sure Dianna Russini will be blamed for it. Staying in Denver, on the ice, for a moment, I thought the Kings had a shot against the Avalanche. Not prime time… but you can see them on Prime. […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Mike Trout has risen from the grave. As a Mets fan, I’m in full support of an MLB work stoppage. The Jerry West doc is a must-see. I knew he had hurts, but in all my time following sports and watching West as a player, coach, and GM, I never […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! …And I was this close to saying, “Keep an eye on the Clippers.” First time at Chavez Ravine this season…likely the last. Trapped among Dodger fans, I was the subject of much abuse during the Mets’ 8-2 loss. Tacky things like, “Old spaghetti-armed Lindor.”
