By Joe Torosian Kick it! Are you telling me I missed the Skip & Stephen A. reunion this morning? Thank you! Best news I've had since my electrician charged me $150 an hour. No one will ever accuse me of being a LeBron apologist, but the dude got hosed by the refs last night. The Lakers weren't going to win, but they were within five in the fourth.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Just call me, Knick. Is my worst nightmare the Dodgers winning a third consecutive World Series? No. My worst nightmare is Team USA winning the World Cup.

I like the NCAA tourney, but really? 76 teams for both the men and the women? I think 40 teams is stretching it these days. The NCAA owns the NIT, push the other 36 into that, and tell everyone else to stay home. Six days since last Thursday, and I'm all in on Ty Simpson. It was never personal. It was strictly the business of where he was drafted. But he'
