We're watching Shoei Itani.

And like I say, greatest in the history of people.

Shoei Itani is in fact that in Major League Baseball.

Do we agree on that?

Is that hyperbolic or is that settled at this point?

On Wednesday night,

Six scoreless, not scoreless innings, but six innings, he gets the win as the pitcher.

Seven strikeouts, plus he hit a home run.

Why isn't this what we're talking about about 80% of the time we're talking about sports right now?

The lore of baseball is pretty heavy from Babe Ruth to Willie Mays and Barry Bonds and all that.

None holds a candle to this cat.

Yeah, I guess in another week or two, if he can continue this level both on the hump and at the dish, then maybe basketball and hockey fans will start paying a little bit more attention.

I want to talk about the Knickerbockers and the meaning of that in New York and to the sports world at large.

And Jackson Dart is making noise up there as well.

But first, I want to dig in on all the NFL news, and there is a surprising amount of it with one of the best in the business, our old pal from NFL Network.

Here comes Bird Breer.

Everything's a lot of guts to say that takes a lot of guts to say that.

And that's why we're bringing him back.

He is the bear of the crown jewel of Sports Illustrated's NFL kingdom, the ruler of Monday Morning QB, the best pal of Connor or his producer is one Kent Brown from Wilmerding, PA.

That's right.
