BRONX, NY – As I sit and tap out this very important column for the final Wednesday of June 2026, Junoir Blaber’s beloved Ghana is tied with those bloody British bastards at the half, as each team plays their second match in World Cup Soccer Group play. I’ll stay with this story all night if I have to. At the very least, I’ll let you know the final result in a throwaway sentence somewhere at the very end of what could very well be (sadly) the most significant thing you read all day. Let’s not waste another moment.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Traded to the Miami Heat! Wow! Does anyone here really care about this? I care a little, but only because I decided to write about it and “The Greek Freak” has one of those surnames you always have to check for spelling. Hopefully, this is the last time for me, just like when I was ecstatic when Mark Teixeira finally decided to retire. Anyway, Giannis is now taking his talents to South Beach, where we’ll see whether he’s able to spend more time on the court than on the beach. I don’t see where this is such an earth-shattering move in a league where the New York Knicks just won a title. That’s still the story for the foreseeable future.
NBA Draft. Yawn! I guess the draft was last night. Big whoop. See above.
No NFL Supplemental Draft for Diamond Brendan Sorsby. I have mixed feelings about the NFL getting on its high horse and denying college QB/degenerate gambler Brendan Sorsby a shot at making a pro team through a supplemental draft. While it makes a lot of sense to not reward a kid who bet thousands on games he actually played in, it also comes off as incredibly hypocritical for a league that hasn’t just embraced sports gambling, but pretty much decided to shack up with it indefinitely. Anyway, the NFL’s laughable language in its rejection letter to Sorsby included this howler of a line regarding Sorsby’s request: [Your petition does not] “demonstrate accountability for your conduct or indicate whether, or how, you would adhere to the League’s rules and policies governing the integrity of competition.” Hahaha. Integrity? Please. The NFL and other major sports want it both ways, which is, “All bets are off, except that all bets are on.” What a joke. Said it before, but much bigger scandals are coming.
The Mets are Best at Something. I think, both this year and historically, we can look at the New York Mets as a franchise that set the bar (significantly low) as the worst team money could buy. 2026 could be their crowning achievement. Currently they’re the third worst team in the National League, hopelessly mired in last place in the NL East. Way to go, Metropolitans! Just FYI, Pete Alonso currently has 18 home runs and 53 rbi for the Orioles.
That’s it for today. Ghana and England played to a nil-nil draw. That’s kinda a win for Ghana, and yet another loss for everyone who paid thousands to see it. Check in tomorrow for Cristiano Ronaldo fanboy, Buddy Diaz.
