09/28/22 Cleaning Out the Sports Junk Drawer

So there. For the 4th consecutive autumn, the Red Sox are not going to win the World Series.
Who does Ime Udoka think he is; Gene Lavanchy?
Get well soon, Mac Jones. Hoyer will game-manage until you are well. Say well more.
Always interesting to see which MLB teams remember to wish their Jewish fans a happy new year.
But Brett Favre!!
Bruins. No pressure on you.
Happy METCO Gorilla Day. At least John & Gerry learned their lesson from that one.
Cakes are cooking for Bridgitte Bardot, Steve Largent, Ron Fellows, Anne White, Grant Fuhr, Janeane Garofolo, Moon Unit Zappa, Jeezy, Emeka Okafor, St. Vincent, and Hilary Duff.
The Bills Mafia Kubler-Rossing their way through not getting the 20-0 season they expected is pleasantly diverting.
This Judge home run watch has turned into a slog, like waiting for Yaz’s 3,000 hit.
Actually was in line behind a nice little old lady who held up the 12 Items or Less lane by paying with a check. It was like an Elvis sighting.
Biggest thing I took out of that whole segment is not only Jeys demeanors with Sami but Jey sideyeing Roman hard when he had the mic and Roman asked for it back.
There are still 77 newspapers?
Red Line Reminder: Shuttle buses replace train service between JFK/UMass and Broadway this weekend, October 1 – 2, from start to end of service.
Maybe don’t let the players pick the next coach?
Ravens DT Michael Pierce suffered a biceps tear in Sunday’s win, sources say, but there is not definitive word yet on how to proceed and if Pierce can continue playing at some point this season. Those tests and decisions are ongoing.
At least Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing was competitive.
Hey gang of Woj Bombers, this week’s Phrase that Pays is, “Ime and Rob both finish inside.”
Dean Wormer, how many NESN360 subscribers are coming in to see Jared Carrabis get another tattoo?
You know the dealer, the dealer is a man
With a lot of grass in his hand
Ah but the pusher is a monster
Good God he’s not a natural man
The dealer, for a nickel lord
He’ll sell you lots of sweet dreams
Ah but the pusher’ll ruin your body
Lord he’ll leave… he’ll leave your mind to scream.
God damn ahh the pusher.
God damn, God damn the pusher.
I said God damn God, God damn the pusherman.
I do have to admit I have been very disappointed that Aaron Judge’s hair has not fallen out this season.
Proper begging the question usage is my love language.
I still have yet to hear an explanation as to how Ser Criston Cole could just beat a knight (and loved of the King Consort) to death at the wedding of the heir to the Iron Throne and it’s just ignored? I know Alicent scoops him up but that’s a lot to ignore. lol
I guess Boegarts screwing up Judge’s Triple Crown bid would be a nice send-off.
It’s a leg. Calais Campbell landed on it. The doctors will take a look.
Don Orsillo has broadcast 3,000 MLB games. That’s something like 875,000 pitches counted!
Honk if you remember when cars always had cigarette lighters on the dashboard.
Don’t worry, England; The NFL is coming to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to heal your City of London.
I’m going to still be writing 5782 on my checks until Cheshvan! Such a tsuris!

Stay safe, Floridan readers, friends & well-wishers.
Best bet for the weekend: Unfrozen tundra.

Material from interviews, wire services, Twitter, Meta, other writers, league and team sources, Bill James, BSMW poster Lebron, plus the members of #the15 were used in this column. Last night I held Aladdin’s lamp and so I wished that I could stay. Before the thing could answer me, well, someone came and took the lamp away.
