HAMLIN IN MIDDLE OF, BUT NOT TO BLAME FOR, DAYTONA 500 "BIG ONE"

  Not Exactly Briefly Told ... The Fox crew was quick to blame  DENNY HAMLIN  for  Sunday’s “BIG ONE” at Daytona. Trouble was, if you  had to point a finger at anyone, it should have been  impatient  RYAN BLANEY , who tapped Hamlin’s Toyota  from behind, going upwards of 180 miles per hour …  leaving the Manchester High alumnus with no option but  to attempt to squeeze by leader  JUSTIN ALLGAIER  and the wall. (Either that on hit the brakes which would  have guaranteed wiping out much of the field.) But Allgaier was late, trying to block Hamlin. There was  contact. Both spun out, joined by 18 more. The total of 20  was three shy of the track record. “ I wish I could have done better,” Allgaier told Fox. Talk about entertaining! There was another near-Big One  involving Hamlin. The finish was chaotic, with  TYLER  REDDICK  leading one lap, the last, taking the lead with  about a half-lap t...

WWE'S ROLLINS BEST ON NFL NETWORK'S 'GOOD MORNING FOOTBALL'

  By far … the best, sharpest, most informative (not to  mention lively) panelist on The NFL Network’s “Good  Morning Football” is …  SETH ROLLINS , who is better  known as a professional ‘rassler for WWE … even if he’s  only part-time. For one thing, Rollins doesn’t take himself too seriously,  always a plus as far as we’re concerned.. In addition, he  doesn’t mind taking a jab or two at what he does for a  living. Introducing a brief segment Friday, Rollins said, “’Good  Morning Football’ is not the only intersection between  professional football and the WWE. Here, discussing a  flag football event for fanatics is the great, the legend   TOM BRADY  and the not so great, not so legendary   LOGAN PAUL .” Among others the G.O.A.T and Paul are scheduled to  compete March 21 in Saudi Arabia. “ I love WWE. It’s really cute … but I’m a little worried  for you. Your a good athlete but these guys [NFL players...

WAPO DROPS SPORTS SECTION, WHY? ... AND, WHY CAN'T LOCAL TV USE MORE VISUALS?

  So, The Washington Post joined The New York Times in  eliminating its sports section because … it couldn’t afford  it? Get serious More to the point, potential readers are getting younger  and no longer take time (or have time) to digest the  morning paper. Those that  CAN  read, that is. They prefer to be informed by cable news, in simple  terms, quickly, without being burdened by in-depth  coverage or much thought … I mean, why bother to be  challenged when someone else can/will do your thinking  for you? Sorry to say, most of the old timers the memory man  knows no longer subscribe to the paper … turned off  originally by liberal content that turns just about  everything that used to be straight reporting into a bias  that should be labeled  OPINION  but seldom is. Speaking of The Times-Dispatch … the local rag  certainly was ahead of its time, among the industry’s  leaders in cutting bac...
