PRESCOTT’S HIPAA NONSENSE, YANKS’ LEAKY PEN & GRITTY METS...

Athletes like Dak Prescott hiding behind HIPAA when they get asked about being vaccinated – it’s their way of saying they haven’t been – just makes them sound like chowderheads.

Dak just had a lot of time off because of injury.

That wasn’t on him.

But not getting vaccinated sure as hell is.

He’ll be another chowderhead acting surprised when he has to put his mask back on.

I read somewhere on Friday that there are 100 athletes representing this country in the Olympics who still aren’t vaccinated, and in what world does that make any sense?

The world we’re supposed to be bringing together in Tokyo over the next couple of weeks?

The Yankees shipped poor Brooks Kriske to Scranton after he threw those four wild pitches on Thursday night at Fenway.

But if Chad Green hadn’t thrown gasoline all over another ninth inning in Boston the way he did with Jose Altuve in Houston, Kriske would have had the night off and the Yankees would have had five in a row. Incidentally?

If the Yankees have to make all these trades I keep reading they should make, just how good were they in the first place?

Dr. Ronny Jackson, that quack who used to be Trump’s White House physician, is starting to sound even dumber than that pillow guy, Lindell.

I guess we’re past the point where couples counseling is going to help with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

Bobby Portis Jr., ex-Knick, scored almost as many points in Game 6 as Devin Booker did.

The Red Sox getting Chris Sale back might end up feeling like the biggest acquisition any team makes at the Trade Deadline.

If Nelson Cruz going to the Rays isn’t already is.

Did I miss the questionnaire asking if I thought we needed another “Space Jam?”

Seriously, if you heard some of the reasons I’ve heard for ballplayers not getting vaccinated, you would laugh until you choked.

Wait, the Yankees just now figured out that moving a runner and stealing a base might actually help them win ballgames once in a while?

Brett Gardner can no longer catch up to balls in the outfield that he used to put in his pocket.

The Mets lose Jacob deGrom to the Injured List last weekend, lose Francisco Lindor to the IL, watch Diaz cough up a bottom-of-the-ninth grand slam on Saturday night, then fall behind 6-0 on Sunday to the Pirates.

Come back and win. Then take two of three from the Reds

Say it again:

They might not be good enough or healthy enough in the end to hang on in the NL East.

But they sure are tough enough.

I keep asking this question: Is the SEC still a conference, or a cartel?

I must have missed the memo about Chris Paul being such a beloved sports figure. Ted Lasso is back.

So I’m good this weekend.
