General discussion on sports and assorted other matters.
I often shop at a local Walmart to buy my baseball and/or football cards. I had been building Topps baseball series 1 for this year as far back as the winter, and recently traded for a good size lot to trim my want list to finish series 1. Series 2 has since gone live, as have 2020 football cards, and I was lucky just to get 2 fat packs of Score 2020 football. Why is that, you ask? Well, friends, being that we're in the middle of a pandemic that has seen "panic ...
There are still some top level free agents waiting to be signed, but teams are, at best, hesitant about making any commitments. If those players, such as Carlos Gonzalez, Jake Arietta, and Mike Moustakas, wonder why, all they need do is check their speed dials for the culprit.

He's ragged on the Lakers because they're losing and, in his warped mind, they're not using son Lonzo in the 4th quarter. Never mind that the rookie's struggles come with the territory.

Today, Eli Manning's 210 game streak of consecutive starts comes to an end, and he's not even injured. No, as you're doubtlessly aware by now, Manning was benched by coach Ben McAdoo earlier this week in favor of Geno Smith, who was a colossal bust in 4 seasons with the Jets, and rookie Davis Webb, although Manning will be the backup for today's game at Oakland. Hours before game time, there are rumors that the Giants will cut ties with McAdoo after the game, and some are already ...
