Send JD a text message and be heard! Almost had a donnybrook at the Yankee game tonight.  Chapman could have done a lot of damage if he would have connected with Micheal Brosseau's head.  You know its serious when the bullpens coming running into the infield.  These teams don't like each other.  Yanks won 5-3 ended six game losing streak to the Rays. Joe Mixon congrats on the $48M contra...

Send JD a text message and be heard! RIP John Thompson.  Coached 20 players in the NBA, 4 HOF's and most of all 97% of his athletes graduated.  From those who knew him they said he was a great coach and an even better person.  First African American coach to win a championship.  Ewing, Mutombo, Mourning and Iverson all were coached and mentored by him.   Giants won the Logan Ryan sweepstakes....

Send JD a text message and be heard! Gary Sanchez with only in second career grand slam and helps the Yanks sweep the Mets today.  But how about rookie Deivi Garcia in his MLB debut goes 6 strong innings and gives up an unearned run.  Three in a row for the Yanks.  Mets now have lost three straight.  And to think the Yanks could have lost all three games this weekend.  Bullpen still a big area of...

Send JD a text message and be heard! RIP Cliff Robinson and still in shock over the death of Chadwick Boseman. Both gone too soon.

Whose pumped for tomorrow night at 9pm on ESPN for the Austin Peay-Central Arkansas in the Guardian Credit Union FCS Kickoff.  Let's hope it goes off without a hitch.  BIG10 is watching very CLOSELY.

Send JD a text message and be heard! Chris Webber spoke about the people who are marginalized and that they got our attention.  Spoke about meeting Charles Barkley at a young age and it showed him that you can't be something til you see it.  If not now then when?  Especially during a pandemic.  These young players spoke for MLK, Medgar Evers, Jackie Robinson, Ali and countless other athletes...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray who follows up his 50pt game with 42 tonight.  33 in the second half.  But the Nuggets still trail the Jazz 3-2 with Game 6 on Thursday.  Spida Mitchell led the Jazz with 30.   Yanks rained out today in Atlanta.  DH tomorrow and then 2 more against the Mets.  3 DH's in 5 days.  Nothing like a 60 game season.  2020 won't b...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Donovan Mitchell hits for 51 last night, Jamal Murray had 50.  First time two opposing players ever had 50+ in a playoff game.  And love Mitchell saying after the game that he hasn't won anything yet when they told him MJ and AI had both done it before.  Only third year in the league. Today is Mamba day.  8/24.   Lakers wearing special jerseys tonight for...

Send JD a text message and be heard! With Shaq there was no rookie hazing.  "I don't do that.  I'm the franchise player." So the Heat are up 3-0.  14-0 in series when up 2-0.  Well I would say this one is in the bag. James Paxton said short spring/summer training led to injuries.  TEN Yanks on the IL.   Joe Burrow you look great in your Bengals uniform.  Here's to a great...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Raiders owner Mark Davis said this about their new home Allegiant Stadium.  "Welcome to the Death Star, where our opponents dreams come to die."  Let's hope it translates to the field.  Who wouldn't want to go see a game in Vegas? So Padres hit grand slam in four straight games and heard the announcer refer to them as Slam Diego.  It's...

Add the Mets to the list of teams with COVID-19 postponed games.  Tonight in Miami and tomorrow the first home game of the first Subway Series of 2020 vs Yanks.  Mets are on their first three game win streak of the season.   Love Mississippi governor Tate Reeves who has banned tailgates at college football games in the state.  He'd rather have no tailgates...

Send JD a text message and be heard! So NCAA will decide on Friday if they will give all fall sports athletes another year of eligibility whether they have a season or not. On that note, Lane Kiffin says players from say the BIG10 or PAC-12 should be able to transfer and play immediately for say the SEC.  But I think Ole Miss wouldn't be the first choice of most of those athletes.  I think Da...

Send JD a text message and be heard! So Bengals, Browns, Ohio HS football and the AAC's Cincy Bearcats are playing but not the Buckeyes.   I'd be pissed too Justin Fields.   I need to understand how instead of writing "Nuggets" Charlotte Hornets radio play-by-play announcer John Focke wrote a racial slur in a tweet.  I mean don't you check the tweet before you send it out?...

Send JD a text message and be heard! So Miocic wins the rubber match with Cormier who took a finger to the eye that was not seen by the ref.  The ref did say after the fight that he made a mistake on that call.  My buddy Harris feels that Jon Jones will fight Miocic next and after beating him, Jones will fight Cormier again in 2021.  I'd love to see that.  Good fight tonight.  Cormier stayed...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Aaron Judge to IL with a calf strain.   Nets-Blazers last night was a classic.  Damian Lillard hit a shot from basically half court.  154 last three games.  Caris Levert had 37.  Nets without their two stars played some good ball in the bubble.

Send JD a text message and be heard! Damian Lillard en fuego for the Blazers.  61 last night.
