Joe T., always working hard…<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

By Joe Torosian<\/p>\n

Kick it!<\/p>\n

Do you realize the Dodgers haven’t lost a game since October 29th, 2025?<\/p>\n

I’m anxious to see a high school player appear in a local commercial. Something like, “Hi, I’m Steve Stunning, and I don’t always eat pizza, but when I do\u2026I prefer Lampost Pizza.”<\/p>\n

I’m open to selling my name, image, and likeness for some shells, clams, bones, lettuce, and\/or cheddar.<\/p>\n

Time to come clean, I root for the Clippers, but I’ve never forgiven them for moving off of Corey Maggette\u2026not that I’m one to hold grudges.<\/p>\n

Watching the Lakers rally late but lose 113-110 in Phoenix last night, I noticed that they recently hired former Virginia HC Tony Bennett as a draft advisor.<\/p>\n

Has any NCAA tourney champion been forgotten faster than Bennett’s Virginia Cavaliers, who won it all in 2019?<\/p>\n

Do you ever get the feeling that Keith Olbermann, at some point, is going to be visited by three ghosts and given a chance at redemption?<\/p>\n

Back in the day, before streaming, and before everyone had access to ESPN\u2026Olbermann, first at KTLA channel five, and later at KCBS channel two, was appointment viewing before going to bed. You’d say, let’s check out Olbermann, because he was so good at sports.<\/p>\n

He introduced me, and a lot of us, to Fred Merkle\u2026and “Merkle’s Boner”\u2026that he would document every September 23rd.<\/p>\n

These days, this guy’s about as happy as a hemorrhoid\u2026or someone sentenced to life without parole from watching “The View”\u2026 It’s sad to see.<\/p>\n
