At first, I found myself enjoying the contest, and then I caught myself rooting for the Vegas Golden Knights.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t the plan, but I got Vegas Fever (and I\u2019m not even thinking about going to a buffet.)<\/p>\n<p>Last Add Knicks: Is it just me, or is the NBA world making too much of Mitchell Robinson\u2019s broken finger? His job is not to score or handle the ball; his job is to defend, be physical, and grab boards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If Rudy Gobert can be on the floor when completely healthy, then Knicks HC Mike Brown can find minutes for Mitchell Robinson in his current condition.<\/p>\n<p>Next Add Rams: The addition of Myles Garrett, and (I don\u2019t want to jinx it) a possible return of Aaron Donald, coupled with a fast start, will have Rams fans forgetting Jared Verse faster than a Bible verse.<\/p>\n<p>Last Add NHL: As of today, it\u2019s been 12,047 days since a Canadian team hoisted the Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that time when the San Diego Padres were considered a threat to the Dodgers?<\/p>\n<p>#58\u2014May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Really Last Add Stanley Cup: I\u2019ve never interviewed a hockey player or covered a hockey game. I wish I could have done both last night in Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>(Although I have played Broomball.)<\/p>\n<p>On Aaron Donald coming back&#8211;my thought is the sooner, the better. I heard it mentioned that the Rams have no more cap space, but the two most reliable sites (OverTheCap &amp; Spotrac) show the Rams having 16 to 21-Rocks still at their disposal.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to whisper this, but how about bringing back Bobby Wagner? (At the right price, of course.)<\/p>\n<p>What I am getting a little apprehensive about is the talk that the Rams are a lock to win the Super Bowl.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious about saying something\u2019s definite when so much can happen and\/or go wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I\u2019m really glad it\u2019s a Chicago Bear on the cover of Madden \u201927 and not a Los Angeles Ram.<\/p>\n<p>Note to WNBA: I\u2019ll take the Caitlin Clark-Stephanie White blow-up on the bench over the Brittney Griner-Angel Reese dance last night.<\/p>\n<p>Last week I asked what it\u2019s like to be a Clippers fan\u2026So I went over their roster\u2014saw a lot of age\u2014and decided that it is very hard to be a Clippers fan.<\/p>\n<p>The Dude abides\u2026<\/p>\n<p>1,305<br \/>\n1 John 1:6-8<br \/>\njtbank1964@yahoo.com<br \/>\n\u201cRamView\u201d M-W-F<br \/>\nFollow Joe on X: @joet13b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Joe Torosian Kick it!
