I&#8217;m surprised Jalen Rose doesn&#8217;t think the Lakers are using code for something else.<\/p>\n<p>I jest, but we know how the world works these days.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, the Lakers are 9-2 without LeBron\u2026and they beat a Knicks team yesterday that I always root for. I&#8217;m all in on Villanova and own a Bernard King jersey.<\/p>\n<p>The Rams extend new corner Trent McDuffie at 4 years for 124-Rocks\u2014100 guaranteed\u2014, and it doesn&#8217;t kick in until 2027. His cap hit this year will only be 13.6-Rocks\u2026 That&#8217;s the kind of contract that tells me to go out and be somebody.<\/p>\n<p>Khalil Mack re-signs with the Chargers for 1yr\/18-Rocks\u2026<\/p>\n<p>#6\u2014May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth.<\/p>\n<p>UConn HC Danny Hurley&#8217;s blow-up at the end of his team&#8217;s loss on Saturday to Marquette is exactly what it should have been.<\/p>\n<p>The Huskies were ranked fourth in the country, and unless Al McGuire, Butch Lee, Bo Ellis, and Earl Tatum are repping for Marquette, you can&#8217;t lose that game.<\/p>\n<p>Saw the highlight of Nathan Martin winning the Los Angeles Marathon\u2026I love the grind of long-distance runners\u2026They&#8217;re easier to identify with. I could never sprint, but I could keep going when I was young.<br \/>\nLast Note Rams: Darious Williams&#8217; retirement saves the Rams 7.5-Rocks against the cap.<\/p>\n<p>Bills re-sign center Connor McGovern to 4-year\/52-Rock deal\u2026Which means they are out of the Tyler Linderbaum market, which is good news for the Rams.<\/p>\n<p>With teams allowed to legally tamper before Wednesday&#8217;s official start to the 2026 NFL season, news will be breaking all day.<\/p>\n<p>So Far:<br \/>\nThe Dolphins plan to release Tua Tagovailoa. Designated a Post June 1 release, his dead cap hit of 99-Rocks will be spread out over two seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Dolphins trading safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys will trade a 4th to the Packers for Edge Rashan Gary.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026And finally, the Raiders dealt Maxx Crosby to the Ravens on Friday. Great trade for Las Vegas. Baltimore is getting a great player, but is Crosby going to catch passes for Lamar Jackson? Is Crosby going to block, run, or fill in at quarterback when Jackson goes down?<\/p>\n<p>Of course not, but he will be eating up valuable cap space that would otherwise allow those pieces to be put around Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>The Dude abides\u2026<br \/>\n1,244<br \/>\nJohn 4:46-54<br \/>\njtbank1964@yahoo.com<br \/>\nFollow Joe on X: @joet13b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Joe Torosian Kick it! &#8220;The only sports to have salary caps are black-led.
