Time to lighten it up a bit with the “you know what” hanging heavily on our minds again. Have an order of Ten Piece Nuggets-Sports to kick off your weekend early.   As usual, no two are alike and the heat comes at you from any direction.  Bill Belicheck need not worry about his financial …

The combined most famous and infamous athlete to walk the earth, Orenthal James Simpson, posted a 48 second Twitter video yesterday.  On it, he used a seat belt analogy to support his plea for all of us to get vaccinated.  It saves lives.  Oh, the irony.  O.J. even expressed his (and our) displeasure of having …

Getting a head start on a 2024 Republican presidential nominee run, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis didn’t have enough time to stop by the CNN World Headquarters yesterday.  But if he did, our guess as to how the Q and A would have gone on one subject that the left incessantly brings to the fore follows.  …

Deep in the heart of Texas hearts have been broken.  Now more are about to be broken. Last season the Houston Rockets and James Harden broke off an eight-plus-year relationship.  It had its ups and downs and ended without an NBA Championship. The decision was mutual to part.   Weeks later, J.J. Watt and the Houston …
