05/28/26 Cleaning Out the Sports Junk Drawer

Kevin, Bert Bell coined the term ‘sidepiece’.
Whenever a Montreal fan complains about the referees an angel loses its wings.
Do we really have to call a grown man “Wemby”?
Rich Hill was on one inning, and Lou Merloni had a whole pizza in front of him. Jim Rice is on the next inning and the pizza was gone.
It’s definitely been staying lighter out later this year, no?
Celtics Derrick White is the only Gaurd on the NBA All Defensive First Team.
My favorite part of THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU was seeing Cape Cod become a part of the galaxy far, far away. Not sure what planet or location it was but the topography definitely appears Cape-inspired.
Paderborn back up in the Bundesliga where they belong.
Every action shot of SGA is just him mugging like Michael Winslow in Police Academy.
A Red Sox-level tapout from the Cavs. Shameful.
Name news: The new Red Sox reliever is Tyron Guerrero, not Tayron Guerrero. There has been a clerical error throughout his career that’s now corrected.
You can tell I’m a huge US soccer fan by how much I hate all the players.
Why do I listen to the SiriusXM Beatles channel Top 100 Beatles songs each Memorial Day weekend when I know am only going to get angry?
Cakes are cooking for Carroll Baker, Hans Dulfer, Terry Crisp, Gladys Knight, Rudolph Giuliani, John Fogerty, John Wells, Roland Gift, Eugene Robinson, Beth Herr, Glen Rice, Kari Wuhrer, Kylie Minogue, Ekaterina Gordeeva, Marco Rubio, Pat Peake, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Alexa Davalos, Jhonny Peralta, Colbie Calliat, and Michael Oher.
Have more guys thrown out at home in one weekend. I would be so mad at the 3rd base coach if I knew who he was.
They really are going to ruin Nate Bargatze for me by making him do movies, aren’t they?
I came this close to buying a new OTAs hat today but then remembered it’s better to wait until they are over so I can get one on sale.
Revs had trouble handling the CLT. I can relate. Wait, what?
I wish the Red Sox would just cut ties with Clemens. Or else just retire his number. It’s like the world’s longest foreplay. Do it or don’t but stop making me watch you dry hump each other.
Poor Sidney just had one of the toughest JEOPARDY! outings these eyes have ever seen. Looked like stage fright + not getting the buzzer thing down.
I have 3 retarded dogs, all various sizes and all mutts. Non of them piss indoors, or are afraid of the rain. Al Kaprielian can suck my dick.
Kyle wants us to race on, man. Enjoy the race, it’s what he wants.
Pretty sure I just saw the newly-crowned D3 national lacrosse champs @TuftsJumbos crushing Chick-Fil-A at Reagan National.
This new Spidey/Nic Cage joint now has my attention.
I can’t watch an OKC/NY finals. I’ll be too tempted to root for the Knicks and that will (a) feel disgusting and (b) be a miserable experience because they’ll get their teeth kicked in.
Hey gang of boring autists, this week’s Phase that Pays is, “Ended up having to order a button online, doesn’t match exactly.”
Coruscant should be a candidate for “Star Wars planet or places Kennedy’s drink?”
Mortal Kombat II was fine, but man, if there’s anyone who was going to bring Johnny Cage to life in live action, they NAILED IT with Karl Urban. God, he was fantastic.
Another well-earned vacation for Kendra.
Blue Line: Delays of about 10 minutes while a maintenance train inspects the overhead wires between Airport and Wonderland. Trains may stand by at stations.
I had a couple of check engine lights come on. But they went off after I tightened the gas cap and drove for 20 or so miles. All fix!
Did the batting cages at Kimballs. I think I now require a stint on the DL.
Between GHOST, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, and “Hacks”, Tony Goldwyn has played some of the scumbaggiest mofos MF in screen history.
Merloni is as bad as Scal on replays.
My latest great idea: If a hockey team pulls their goalie, the other team should be able to put a 2nd goalie on the ice.
Gorg morning Ging!
Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla has been named the 2025-26 NBA Coach of the Year, earning the Red Auerbach Trophy.
He got the voices speakin’ riddles
He got the eye as black as coal
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
And he stands right in the road.
You got to hidey-hide
You got to jump up run away.
You got to hidey-hidey-hide
The old man is down the road.
Saw Zo at Twin River a week ago. Huge beer gut. 6’5” with sunglassses gave him away. Very good to fans who approached him. Next morning I heard the Awaken180 commercial.
West Ham – Millwall twice next year just like God wanted.
Attn Celtics fans: what the Knicks did in their Game 4 destruction of the Cavs was play classic Tom Heinsohn basketball. That was the greatest fast break clinic since the 70s Celtics, and that includes the 80s “Showtime” Lakers.
Honk if you remember Patrick Roy.
Sal would’ve loved the Spurs parading Coach Pop around like Lou Carnesecca.
Serious NFL business was conducted in the Ground Round!
All time highs are when you’re supposed to invest.
Yes Mut, Red Sox fans chanted ‘sell the team’ because Portnoy popularized the phrase on Barstool merch.
The only thing that’s gay about the UFC is the muscular oiled up dudes in tight shorts rolling around on the ground, rubbing their nutsacks all over each other.
Knicks are in the finals and Shukri is a hyperlocal New Yorker again.
Best bet for the weekend: high temperatures and higher drama at Roland Garros.

Material from interviews, wire services, Twitter, Meta, other writers, league and team sources, Joe Giza, and the members of #the15 were used in this column. I ain’t no fortunate son.
