1 Why can’t Odell stop talking about the Giants? Now with the Browns, Beckham talks more about the Giant’s that any other subject. Beckham’s history suggests it will be a little bit of time before we know how things will play out in Cleveland, but my guess is, the moment he feels he’s not getting the ball enough or simply not getting the attention he thinks he deserves, he’ll become a distraction, and he’ll be giving this exact same interviews about how the Browns held him back. With Odell, it’s never the fault of the man in the mirror. I’m thrilled he’s gone from New York. 2 If the postseason began today, would J.A. Happ have any standing on a Yankees postseason roster? Happ’s yearlong trouble with the long ball continued Wednesday night, as he yielded two more home runs and failed to record an out in the fifth inning - this time against a potential October opponent. I’d say 50-50. And if he was included, it would be as emergency Bull-pen help. 3 Speaking of NFL Diva’s…During the very public divorce between Antonio Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers, Steelers fans were like the children in the relationship, choosing sides between player or organization figuring out who did the other wrong. Now that Brown has been traded to the Raiders, people in Pittsburgh may be experiencing great pleasure and giddiness (is that a word?) because they are watching Brown’s train wreck offseason unfold in Oakland. The theoretical glee from Steelers fans is also a boon for HBO: the network announced that this week’s episode of Hard Knocks drew a local rating in Pittsburgh three times the national average for the episode. Nationally, it’s a different story. Ratings have been down slightly. Guess most viewers are like me: Tired of the drama that unfolds around these needy prima donnas. Maybe they preferred reruns of Dog The Bounty Hunter.

At first I was pretty upset about the ODBJ trade, now I’m pretty happy after seeing how he continues to react. the locker room seems to be all in on this season thanks to that diva being gone, good riddance!

WhatWhatever strikes you as interesting, absurd, ridiculous, funny or serious about all sports, then this is the place to hear my slant on it. My focus will be mainly on the New York area, but anything going on in sports anywhere is fair game.
