    The ball is oval. They just need to restrict the age of players to 13-19 years old then they could call it “Ovalteen”. That’s gold Gerry! That’s gold!

    Lemme guess: He wants to call it Trumpball, right?

    He’s acting like he’s just spit balling here, but we all know that after a bit of discussion in the media, it will “suddenly” occur to him on camera, that a good name might be Trumpball. Mike Johnson will immediately begin legislation, Vance will clutch his pearls at any resistance to what is obviously the only reasonable name, Bondi & Patel will threaten in investigate anyone who doesn’t go along, and Schmuck Schumer will make a weak speech that nobody will ever hear because the media won’t care what he has to say, because he never says anything important.

        And the reason he couldn’t have a team? Because all the other rich owners, the guys whose club he so desperately wants to be a part of, hate his guts, and want nothing to do with him, so they’ve iced him out of pro team ownership for DECADES.
