Come on, Stuffy, who among us wouldn’t want to get too high and eat a White Castle Burger? Even a quick drive-by can quickly become fun and won’t make anyone feel guilty. No one needs to know.
So today is White Castle Day. It’s a day for fast hitters who may find it easier to swallow than stomach.
1. Pandering NFL Finance Secretary Roger Goodell indefinitely suspended Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney for an extremely vulgar, N-word-heavy Instagram Live message after last week’s AFC Championship. The failure to declare it remains incredible and not at all surprising. Immediate suspension!
Maybe Goodell is considering suspending Toney or adding him to the Super Bowl halftime show.
2. This week’s graphic: Fox noted during last Saturday’s Arizona vs. Oregon game that University of Arizona’s Caleb Love’s major is “social behavior and human understanding.”
But what did he misunderstand?
3. Kevin Williams, longtime sports director and host of Jersey Shore’s WOBM radio, has retired. A special person, Williams. He plans to continue running his popular 32-team boys’ and girls’ Christmas Classic high school hoops tournament, which he founded.
Four. Rutgers South: So what did a 13-0 regular season football season cost Florida State? The athletic department’s operating deficit was $2.57 million, that’s it.
However, head football coach Mike Norvell was re-signed for an increase of more than $8 million each.
Five. Reader Mike Natale asks us, and Goodell, to help us solve a dilemma.
“I have always sought spiritual guidance from the backs of NFL players’ helmets, and last week I watched a playoff game where both teams had their team names on the back of their helmets.
“How do I know how to act appropriately now?” Signature “I’m in trouble.”
6. Walked out in class: Mike Ripoll, owner of the outstanding 2-year-old Fierceness, not only won the coveted Eclipse Award last week, but also gave a 2-year-old’s acceptance speech while his young daughter stood next to him. shouted two F-bombs.
He gave new meaning to the term standard upbringing, given the serious decline in civility in today’s population.
7. On Sunday, when Chiefs kick returner Richie James returned one with one hand, in true style, he rekindled memories of last season when he fumbled three times in limited play against the Giants. I might have done it.
8. Sunday’s “60 Minutes” on CBS will include a segment on the (egregious) sports gambling epidemic and the devastation it has wrought on sports gambling’s primary targets: young people.
In response to the question of where these newly minted addicted gamblers are getting the money to invest in businesses that expect investors to lose money, gambling treatment counselors are I will explain the location.
He said patients have gambled away their entire student loans and inheritances. Oddly enough, the winners are only seen in TV ads.
9. Paulina Grezi, wife of Saudi government-funded LIV golf prize jumper Dustin Johnson, was spotted wearing another sexy outfit last week. If she wore it on the streets of Riyadh, she might go “missing” for a long time.
Ten. Last week, the Big Ten Network rebroadcast the Purdue-Rutgers game that originally aired on Fox. Of course, quality control is also a lost art, so you can easily spot the winners from the information scrolled at the bottom of the game.
It showed Rutgers at 10-9, 2-6 in the Big Ten, but the telecast of the game showed RU at 10-8, 2-5 in the Big Ten. Ta.
11. Tough “Straight Shooter” John McEnroe’s work on ESPN from the Australian Open. McEnroe despicably allowed his ESPN colleague Doug Adler to be fired as a racist for praising Venus Williams’ “guerrilla” tactics during the Australian Open.
McEnroe was one of the many people who could have made a difference in destroying Adler, a completely innocent man, as if McEnroe had never heard of the term “guerrilla tennis.” He has no guts and I think he knows it.
12. Reader Jack Adler writes that the MIP — the most important play — of Sunday’s game between the Chiefs and the Ravens was an act by Kansas City cornerback Rajarius Snead late in the third quarter.
As Zay Flowers tried to enter the end zone, Sneed tackled him with one arm in a diving motion and flicked the ball away with his other arm.
After further consideration, Adler is correct.
13. The Nets are once again in danger of winning more uniforms than they win.
14. I hope CBS realizes before the Super Bowl that they have a decent story about their own staff, Gary Danielson, who played a leading role in a largely forgotten NFL playoff classic. ing.
As historian and avid reader Herb Eichen writes, on December 13, 1983, in the Lions’ playoff game in San Francisco, Niners quarterback Joe Montana and Lions quarterback Eric Hipple played. did.
When Hipple was injured early on, Danielson replaced him. After that, he had five interceptions, but the Lions were close, until reliable kicker Eddie Murray (“Murray the K”) missed a 42-yard field goal with 10 seconds left, 24-23. Defeated.
15. How could the tough-talking Peter Rosenberg of “The Michael Kay Show” remain a WWE insider and sleazy contributor for so long while ignoring Vince McMahon’s ways and means? It’s time to explain what happened. Pedophiles on staff, nearly countless drug deaths of large, unnaturally muscular performers under director McMahon’s watch, his vacillating and selfish drug “policy”, rampant sexual abuse and staff (including underage boys). Casting sofa requests for (including).
The pornographic skits performed on WWE shows, the adult products the McMahons sold to children, and Vince McMahon’s eagerness to evade state athletic commissions that conduct drug tests.
Come on, tough talk, do the facts stick to your tongue?
16. The Mets’ 2024 promotional game release concludes, “Promotion dates, items and giveaways are subject to change and/or cancellation.”
In other words, Rob Manfred’s TV money-first last-minute schedule changes are here to stay, so prepare for the usual bait and switch.
17. Early in the Lions-49ers game, FOX’s Greg Olsen said San Francisco QB Brock Purdy wasn’t much of a running threat. “I don’t get enough credit for the way he uses his legs,” Olsen said after Purdy’s 21-yard scramble in the fourth quarter. Ah, understood.
18. ESPN staffers scratched statuettes of on-air talent who legitimately won Emmys without fake nominees over the Disney Network’s 13 years as seen in the fake names submitted, and who did not win. Imagine being replaced by a name.
Do you now have to explain that you are on the defensive due to scandalous misconduct in your own network?
19. Reader Kevin McGrory suggested that with so many players attending so many colleges, it could take forever to show where NFL players played on TV early in the game. are doing.
Of course, those who choose to state where they played their high school ball instead may think they’re doing something clever, but they’re not giving the impression that high school was actually the last school they attended. I’m just giving.
20. I’m hungry? Hey, is that the white castle on the right?
