Owners lacking guts on Kap, Jerry West back in L.A. and Durant effect. . .

Seriously? What would have to do to surprise you at this point?

Yeah, it’s just one of those crazy coincidences you get in life sometimes that still doesn’t have a job in the National Football League.

You have to believe that there are a whole lot of owners and general managers in the league afflicted with the same stomach problem that seems to be running through Republicans in Congress these days: No guts. Coming into this baseball weekend, last year’s World Series – Cubbies and the Fighting Franconas – were a combined two games over .500. The Red Sox look like they miss a whole lot less when

starts hitting the ball over the wall.

After all this time, you know that isn’t going down without a fight.

We’d had a relatively trianglefree period in New York sports until we were told that the Oregon kid, had spent 45 minutes of a Knicks workout working on, well, you know.

After that, they had Ennis take a tutorial on disco music. And 8-track cassettes. If you’ve ever played golf, you know just how tough old is coming back the way he has from having the yips.

When you really think about it, it’s amazing that there aren’t more leg injuries for

going to the Clips makes you remember a line from about Russell’s old

Hall of Fame friend second baseman.

“Isn’t it funny,” Russell once said, “how good teams seem to follow Joe around?”

Speaking of William Felton Russell, the greatest winner we’ve ever had in team sports in this country:

He was 10-0 in Game 7s in his professional career. The tennis version of that is

now being 10-0 in French Open finals.

Speaking of the French – Now that has won the women’s title, does that mean she’s officially passed as top Latvian? Not gonna lie: After this week, I am missing Infrastructure Week already.

You can apparently now put a former Speaker of the House like

on full scholarship by offering his wife an ambassadorship to the Vatican.

That’s how cheap Gingrich comes.

It’s a good thing the line “I don’t recall” wasn’t part of a drinking game when was testifying the other day.

Best line from , at least so far, at the US Open:

“Really, Jordan? You hit a foul ball on the widest fairway on the course?”

At the Masters, said he fell down some stairs.

At the Open, just the leaderboard.

I believe the last time the Knicks had the 8th pick in the draft, the seventh pick was this kid from Davidson named Curry.

In a season when there really has been so much good news with the Yankees, there just continues to be more bad news for Greg Bird.

Are you starting to get the idea that when waiters at restaurants ask what he wants for an entrée, he just reflexively says, “Ask Phil”? After all this time, it’s great that

and are back doing golf together on Fox now. isn’t

He just played like Michael in the NBA Finals.

Which means that the Warriors, the year after they won 73 regular season games and made it to Game 7 against the Cavs, basically added Michael to the band.

I would never have said this a year ago, but am thinking it now:

Not sure that has made his last stop in professional basketball.

Man, how great would it be, now that has won one major this year and has won another, if they found their way to one more Wimbledon final? Finally today: Happy Fathers Day, You continue to lead as good and happy and honorable a life as anybody I’ve ever known.

I know I can’t actually prove my theory that God likes you best.

But that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
