Kick it!

The Rams dropped their 2026 unis last night, and I’m so glad it is done.

I love the white and blue. I love the 1951 historic. My only problem is that somewhere during the 2026 season they will employ those horrific Midnight Mode/Blue/Rivalry uniforms.

It’s hideous and a contributing factor in why it will take another five to ten years for the franchise to own its own market. The Rams, a franchise run so well, have yet to realize they can lead rather than pander.

The Dodgers, for visiting the White House, are being referenced as sell-outs for not standing up for LA. Fans on social media are declaring shame on the Dodgers, saying they will burn all their Dodger gear, and root for the Angels.

Do I believe people hate Trump? Yes.
Do I believe people are mad at the Dodgers for going to Trump’s White House? Yes.
Do I believe some fans will get rid of their Dodger gear? Yes.
Do I believe most of them are hypocrites for their silence during the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence flap? Yes.
Do I believe angry Dodgers fans will now become Los Angeles Angels fans? Now, you’re just being ridiculous.

#84—May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth.

LeBron James has chosen Philadelphia. Good move to do it before NFL camps fully open–otherwise, he’ll sink deeper into irrelevance.

While I didn’t care where he landed, I was also pretty sure he’d be heading east. Between San Antonio and Oklahoma City, toss in Jokic at Denver, and what they’re assembling in Minnesota… there’s no room to get back to the finals in the west.

I give LeBron credit for taking the 2-year/8-Rock contract. The 76ers should be fun…but we’ll see who’s on the floor at the end of March.

And, start the clock on how long it will take Bronny to find his way to the City of Brotherly Love. 

Does Tom Brady have anybody in his life who loves him? Does he allow anybody in his life who loves him to speak into his life?

Apparently not, because the greatest quarterback of all-time, the guy with seven Super Bowl rings, somehow feels the need to do a publicity dance with Logan Paul.

This only helps Paul.

Deflate-Gate didn’t hurt Brady…but a whorish desire to remain relevant and in the spotlight will. This makes me legitimately sad. What’s next for him? Survivor? The Traitors? First Take with Stephen A.?

The Baltimore Ravens have waived former Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia. Pavia, a Heisman finalist who hyped himself as the best QB in the country, went undrafted in April.

I’m wondering if new Ravens HC Mike Minter had the same talk with Pavia that Super Bowl-winning Ravens HC Brian Billick had with former Arizona QB Ortege Jenkins in the first season of Hard Knocks.

After releasing Jenkins at the start of camp:
Billick: Did you get your degree?
Jenkins: Not yet.
Billick: Yeah, you want to get that done.
(Translation: Get that education because you’re not playing professionally.)

Final Note: To get into the United Center in Chicago on Saturday to see the WNBA All-Star game, you’ll need $188. For 2-grand you can sit court-side.

The Dude abides…
