Cleaning out the sports closet of my mind …

16. Texas and Oklahoma join and the SEC will stay at 16 schools according to league commish. Not buying it.

The British Open – er, The Open Championship at Royal Troon is just delicious. Scheffler by a few is the pick.

Jaylen Brown being left off Olympic hoops team is a disgrace – ditto Caitlin Clark.

Carlos Alcaraz is a hotdog – but an incredible tennis player.

45 days to football…

I’d love a Flo’s hotdog from Ogunquit, Maine…

Miami isn’t the Miami I remember –
Oh well…

J. D. Vance calls Trump Hitler! Now the VP? Only in our screwed up America.

JFK, Jr. smoked weed every day. And flew a plane into the Atlantic off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard …

James Patterson is the greatest writer of our lifetime. Tiger Woods book is incredible …

Where have you gone Mike Lupica?

Iowa football: 8-4 according to Charlie Gibbons…

Jay Mariotti is just plain bitter… I read his blog and wanna’ barf…

I can listen to Tyler LaVigne and Brock Hines forever – such talent.

Red Sox… contenders or pretenders?
Let me know, ok?

Iowa St. thumps Iowa- but we’ll be at Texas @ Michigan…

Detroit Metro airport has cracked my top 5…

The NY Post never gets dull. The DM Register never reads interesting – I mean … never!

Thank you Geico!

MIAMI- Argentina v. Colombia in the 2024 Copa Championship game here in South Florida. And what a mess it was. Chaos reigned. Before, during and after the highly-anticipated match.

Before: An estimated 7,000 fans stormed the main gate of Hard Rock Stadium gaining free admission and cementing soccer fans’ reputation as “hoodlums.”

During: Idiotic fans with no regard for anyone or anything. Shirt waving, blocking entry ways and constant chiding of opposing fans … both sides guilty on this one!

After: Miami blew this big time. Horrible security, dirty parts of the stadium and horrendous crowd control.
They host some 2026 World Cup
action!!!

Oh, Argentina won 1-0.

Grade: D-

The curtain falls on the first-half of the Major League Baseball season after Sunday’s action. What’s different since the season began in late March?
The Divisional leaders projected are in order across both leagues; injuries abound among them; and, the bottom end of standings are pretty much the way we thought.

Biggest surprises : Red Sox, Yankees (up & down) and Paul Skenes being yanked out of two no-hit bids by the Pirates.

World Series: Dodgers vs. Orioles.

Not crazy to say? Aaron Boone might just get fired by the Yankees.

Euro 2024 winner: SPAIN 2-0
Copa 2025 winner: ARGENTINA 2-1

The NBA East battle in 2025 conclusion of Boston, NY and Philadelphia will undoubtedly be epic.

Now that Nick Nurse has a PhD fair to call the 76ers head coach Doctor Nurse. Not quite as splendid as Doctor J in Philly sports lore … but close.

England !!!! Bam. 2-1 over the Dutch.
Can they stun Spain and takedown a title for first time in 58 years?

Tyler LaVagine weighs in tonight on the show!

Red Sox roll continues …. Raffy is getting even better at all facets of the game …

Tonight:
Colombia in PK’s of course …
No OT is asinine …

The A’s are not good – but the White Sox are a sorry lot with a few exceptions…

Niko Fisbas is another great soccer insider for us ….

We are about to roll out our Fall lineup of contributors on Sports Byline USA…

We will have all the college football Media Days covered as well.

Tyler LaVigne leads off today’s show on UConn and soccer…

Another new affiliate WGCH in Connecticut getting it done!

Red Sox own the Yankees right now. OWN. Raffy Devers giving the Yankees nightmares …

Keegan Bradley to captain US 2025 Ryder Cup team. Love it.

ISU wins minimum of 9 games this year. Charlie Gibbons on Football says Iowa 8-4.

Notre Dame schedule is, ah, interesting — but not very good.

Texas will be in the National Title picture.
From the SEC!

The LA Dodgers are overrated. But major injuries factor for sure.

The consensus of the College Football magazines is telling us it looms as a top-heavy season in 2024.

Michigan begins “ Life after Harbaugh” and Ohio State looms large as always in Big 10. Newcomers from the now-deceased PAC 12 with the exception of Oregon be hit or miss at best.

The whole spectrum of college football changes with the expanded 12 team playoff which kicks off on December 20th.
The mantra will be “just get in” and then you’ve got your shot at glory.

The SEC just cannot get any better. Texas and Oklahoma join the fray and are poised for big seasons.

The countdown is well underway!

Speaking of Texas, Arch Manning looks to be carrying a clipboard for another year in Austin. A phenomenal prospect waits and chomps at the bit. Arch would be starting at any number of other schools, yet the Longhorn allure proving much too appealing.

Thank you Phil Steele for yet another great CFB Yearbook!

The Boston Celtics are for sale. What a buzz kill.
18th World Championship in the bank and the ownership group wants more — as in green backs!

Let’s hope it’s a group with Tom Brady, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck minus J- Lo.

The Celtics will fetch a bundle no doubt; too bad ownerships anymore just want to cash out on a high. Easy to understand, yet this group has it going. Soon they will be gone.

Breaking: Klay Thompson to the Mavs.
Lakers will regret not getting him done and in their fold.

Euro2024 is just awesome. England win on Sunday was miraculous!

15 year old Miles Russell fired a -2 par round today at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. 2 rounds complete he’s at level par and will be a must watch this weekend if he can make the cut at the Detroit Golf Club.

Alex Cora is out the door at season’s end with the Boston Red Sox. What he is doing with this rag tag group is amazing.
He will have multiple suitors.

Giancarlo Stanton of the Yankees is a prolific hitter and the poster child for injury proneness… dude gets hurt brushing his teeth …
