NFL needs to sit Deshaun for season, unvaxxed Sox could sink Boston & don’t forget about Martina...

-

Unless you think all 26 women are lying — or 260, or whatever the number is — then there is no way Deshaun Watson plays a down of football this season for the Cleveland Browns. Watson better be hoping that you can get the Sunday Ticket on Weinstein Island.

l Nothing gets my blood racing more than a traditiona­l Big 10 matchup in November between USC and UCLA.

l Trevor May turned out to be such a huge loss in the Mets’ bullpen.

l My pal Barry Stanton says that in the end, the most memorable moment of Durant’s stay in Brooklyn came because a sneaker was a size too big one night in the Eastern Conference semis against the Bucks.

l The Blue Jays missed the postseason by one game last season and if that happens to the Red Sox this time, they might remember a couple of games they lost this week in Toronto because they didn’t have the unvaxxed Jarren Duran or their unvaxxed closer Tanner Houck with them.

Two more graduates of the Kyrie Irving School of Medicine.

l Now the organizers of golf’s Blood Money Tour want to make it a team sport.

Right.

Like Battle of the Network Stars was a team sport in the old days.

l How long does Aaron Boone keep running Joey Gallo out there?

By the way?

Clay Holmes and Jose Trevino and Isiah Kiner-Falefa are three of the best deals Brian Cashman has made in a long time.

You know this already, but the Red Sox won 20 games in June and lost ground on the Yankees.

l We are at the middle weekend of Wimbledon, and Rafa Nadal is still alive for the calendar Grand Slam and Novak Djokovic is trying to win his seventh Wimbledon singles and get to 21 majors.

And depending on which way you root, you think one of them will eventually be called the GOAT in men’s tennis, unless you think it’s still Roger Federer, no matter how many Nadal and Djokovic end up winning.

But when we are talking about GOATS, men or women, the name Martina Navratilov­a doesn’t come up nearly often enough.

All she did in her career was win 18 major singles titles, at the same time Chris Evert was doing the same.

As great as Serena is, she never had an opponent as formidable as Chris.

On top of that, Martina won 31 major doubles titles, and 10 more mixed.

That is 59 in all.

She won her last major in mixed, at the U.S. Open, a month before she turned 50.

So try telling her somebody else was the greatest tennis player of them all.

l Hugh Jackman can play Wolverine, and Prof. Harold Hill in “The Music Man” and P.T. Barnum in “The Greatest Showman,” and in the process makes you wonder if there’s a more talented performer alive than he is. l Cassidy Hutchinson: Great American.

That’s a spoiler alert for all the right-wing mutts and nuts trying to tear her down.

Or her testimony. l When can Arch Manning come play for the Big Blue?
