You’re at a party and someone says something like: “Barry Bonds” wasn’t juiced – he said he wasn’t and I believe him”. You want to say “what?” and then stop yourself because you know the conversation won’t end with Barry Bonds, he likely thinks that the Pete Rose and the Patriots never cheated, and OJ is innocent. Just smile and walk away.

So what innocent but unpopular sports opinions do you own?

I’LL GET IT STARTED…

Connie Mack should have worn a uniform. There – I said…. wanna fight?

 

Whoever threw paint on a Lakers Mural is an attention-seeking jerk. I suspect it was a Kobe fan or maybe it was just a jerk who thought he would get his “work” on  TV wanted to bask in his 15 seconds of fame. Low-talent to no-talent people would rather ruin someone’s work or ruin someone’s day rather than do something positive.

The Lakers Muralist  didn’t repair his mural after the vandalism, he covered it up. I often feel like doing that when I post an illustration with a solid idea and sold art and wait for the “wows” to come rolling in. Sometimes that never happens. Oh well. Keep on plugging…

 

IT’S PRETTY COOL THAT a Washington DC HOMETOWN STAR won the Home Run Derby. With the nuttiness in DC of late, we need some fun and sanity back in the capital. It’s equally awesome that Bryce Harper was wearing Red White and Blue, used a Red White Blue bat and, as always, sported the Harper hair highlighted with a bandana.

Harper’s Hair is a National Treasure. It should have it’s own contract and be insured by Lloyds of London. I don’t know if  I’m a fan of Harper. He tends play the game the way he wants to play it (or not play) – but the way he uses his magnificent coif as a weapon of intimidation is pretty cool – like forming into the image of the HR Derby Trophy.

National Treasure.

Nike has announced it’s redesigned the Lakers’ unis and the reveal is, soon. Here’s a peek at the new look…

James is the best player in the league but unfortunately, the Lakers’ supporting cast isn’t Warrior-like, and regardless of what the circus clown LeVar Ball thinks, Z isn’t in the same atmosphere as Lebron James. The Lakers are Lebron and bunch of dudes for now.

For intents and purposes the Lakers are, THE LABRONERS, until 2019-20

WELCOME TO LA, SIR!
