‘SPORTS FAN–YOU BE THE GM RIGHT NOW”
The fans have opinions, so I am going to let you make the decisions that have to be made.
Are you a seller or buyer, trying to stay in a pennant race, or get rid of bad contracts?
Are you a bidder for the top guy on the NBA trade block?
You run a QB-needy NFL franchise, and there’s a QB you could get now in the supplemental draft?
You run an NHL team here, and there are a load of veteran players on the trade block-what do you do?
You, the reader, the sports fan, you the one with all the opinions, are on the clock as the General Manager-what are you going to do?
Here are the questions. I want some answers:
PADRES…Buyer or seller? Do you deal for another starting pitcher or somebody to jump start this slump ridden lineup? Do you trade what’s left in the farm system, Ethan Salas-the hotshot catcher?
DODGERS…Woe is you, with the loaded farm system, 11-pretty good prospects. How many are you willing to deal to go get Tarik Skubal as a 1-and-half year rental before free agency?
ANGELS..Can you convince Mike Trout that by trading him, it’s a win-win situation for all? Are you willing to deal the last star on what will be another 100-loss team?
CLEVELAND..Bad QB roster, bad cap situation, and a chance to use a future pick to take Texas Tech’s Brendan Sorsby in the supplemental draft. Does he have better potential than what you have on the roster? Are you willing to take him and his baggage (the gambling issues)?
LAKERS..Who to keep-who to move? Do you want LeBron James back for one last season? What price? Same question involving the max contract demand of Austin Reaves? Do you have assets to go get a legitimate C-like Walker Kessler?
CLIPPERS…Do you begin a massive rebuild by getting rid of Kawhi Leonard if it brings you Boston’s Jaylen Brown back in a deal?
KINGS..Desperately need a goal scorer. People are asking about super star D-Drew Doughty. Do you dare do that?
DUCKS..Big rumors they like unhappy Dylan Larkin in Detroit, but can you afford to move more young players off your roster for a gifted veteran?
You’re the GM. Tell me what you think?

“TEXAS TECH AGAINST THE WORLD”
In an era where the NCAA headquarters in Indianapolis looks like it is under siege from everywhere, another bombshell is dropped on its buildings, thanks to QB-turned-Gambling Addict Brendan Sorsby of Texas Tech. You know him. The red hot...
“SPURS BLOWUP ‘SOFT LABEL’-SCORCH KNICKS”
It had everything you would want in an NBA finals game. At the end, San Antonio shed the criticism of 'soft team' by blasting their way to a must win victory (115-111) infront of a crazed Madison Square Garden crowd in New York-who felt their Knicks would...
“PADRES…A SEASON OF MIXED EMOTIONS”
A mixed bag of emotions. A mixed up season. That's where I am at this hour covering, writing about, talking about the Padres. The Swinging Friar is really the Swing & Miss Friars. Losses pile up on losses. The starting pitching seems to be regressing....
“MLB-VS-UNION…TELL THE TRUTH”
MLB and the Union made their first sets of proposals last week about what they each want to see as negotiations begins on a new CBA. It has been followed by verbal gunfire between Commissioner Rob Manfred and Union Chief Bruce Meyer. All that is to be expected....
“SO WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FROM LAKERS-THUNDER”
What did you expect? Last year's NBA champion showed up, jerked the Lakers around, turned on the ignition, coasted, reignited the fire and then blew them away. The Thunder, a dynasty in the making, acted like they were toying with the once proud Lakers. They have...
LAKERS-OKC-NBA…STATEMENT GAMES COMING…
All the banners that hang high above the LA Lakers home court don't mean anything. Neither does the roster laden history that brought us George Mikan, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and Shaq O'Neill. This...

“PADRES-DODGERS FANS-YOU FEEL STRANGE?”
The calendar turns to May and if you look at the Baseball Standings, you see what you expected. 1st place-Dodgers..(20-11) 2nd place-Padres...(19-11) But you have to dig deeper to feel like I feel, that neither of these teams looks right, feels right. And it is...
NBA REWORKS DRAFT LOTTERY-IT’S WORSE NOW !
I did not like Algebra. I did not understand Calculus I would not do well with a Rubik's Cube. I know you need some kind of new math to figure out this NBA Lottery proposal. It's called the "3-2-1" Lottery, a plan to stop tanking, which has become an epidemic in the...
“BASEBALL-RANDOM THOUGHTS ON TEAMS”
PADRES..AJ Preller bought a bunch of lottery tickets right before the season started, Walker Buehler and German Marquez. They have had good starts and bad starts. It is what it is. Then he bought some short-term insurance with Griff Canning and Lucas...
“BASEBALL’S BLAME GAME”

“NFL DRAFT REPORT CARD”
It's in the books, the NFL Draft. Time for Hacksaw's Draft Report Card. CHARGERS..Joe Hortiz has a great track record in the draft, so you must trust him till he mishandles it...He needed OG help desperately, plus future pass rush help. He got one, did...

A day out from the NFL Draft and here are a few headlines to consider involving the West Coast teams we follow or hate: RAMS..Multiple choice question, drafting late in first round. Spend that pick on a QB for the future? Draft an OT-OG? Select a WR...
“PADRES–NEW ERA AFTER GREAT ERA”
Lots of history, some good, some not so good involving the Padres. I guess we should feel very good about where we are at this hour. Guess we have to feel very good about where Peter Seidler took this franchise. Sure this is a great unknown at what is next under Jose...
“MY NOTEBOOK-MY OPINIONS”
Topics & Thoughts: LAKERS...Surprised by first night playoff win..Loss of Doncic-Reaves offset by last minute loss of Kevin Durant...Superb start by Luke Kennard (27P) and DeAndre Ayton (19P)..Big question-can they duplicate it again in Game two on...
“LIV GOLF-BAD IDEA-GONE BAD”
Money can buy you lots of things. Happiness. Luxury lifestyle. Recognition. It cannot guarantee you business success, especially if it is driven by greed. Just ask the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which went on a spending spree four years ago to create a rival golf...
“REMEMBERING #42”
Everyone wears #42 this week to salute the legendary Brooklyn Dodgers star Jackie Robinson. His influence in breaking baseball's color barrier. His influence too in politics, business, society. There are so many snapshots and a few videos of the legendary Dodger. You...
