What a life for Tony Romo. The NFL career didn’t end on a high note, but to leave Dallas and land directly in Jim Nantz’s lap at CBS ain’t all bad. The pull of playing professional sports is a strong one- just ask Brett Favre, Chris Carter, Deion Sanders, Michael Jordan, etc. Randall Cunningham sat out and came back and went to the Pro Bowl. Romo could do that, maybe. CBS is not a terrible way to make a handsome living and not get hit.
Baseball season is underway in cold weather cities everywhere. How can the Padres play the Dodgers in California, while Minnesota hosts Kansas City? On the field, Bryce Harper looks healthy and the Indians are perhaps even stronger.
Russell Westbrook needs 16 more assists to officially average a triple-double for the season. The Thunder are an impressive 32-9 when he records his now, 41 triple-doubles, tied with Oscar Robertson. Amazingly, James Harden still should be the MVP. Golden State has won 12 in a row, but can they bring Kevin Durant back into their line-up seamlessly?
Gary Bettman doesn’t want his NHL players playing in the 2018 Olympics. The players, however, want to play. It will be real interesting if the teams support their star players, because they want them happy, and defy the league office. Seems possible, at least in Washington, where Alex Ovechkin wants to play, says he will, and with the consent of owner Ted Leonsis.
Finally, rough times for a family visiting the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids, Michigan. A chimpanzee was playing in his area and slung poop at the crowd who was cheering on the chimp. Unfortunately, for grandma, the poop get her right in the nose. She was so stunned, and perhaps without a strong sense of smell, let the poop linger there in a video the internet was built for.
