Sports this 'n' that

 The Zach Wilson era is over for the NY Jets.

Sources are reporting this afternoon that Wilson, after 3 seasons, is heading to Denver for a 6th round pick in this weekend's draft.

For Wilson, it's a chance at a fresh start after coach Sean Payton ran another Wilson---Russell---out of town after last season. Russell Wilson is now in Pittsburgh. Jests GM Joe Douglas fumbled the ball. He had a chance to rid the team of the right wing drama that is Aaron Rodgers and his conspiracy theories, and opted instead to send the underachieving Zach Wilson, a BYU grad, packing.

Look, I get that controversy creates cash, which the Jests are hoping translates into ticket sales if Rodgers can play the season. He's already tarnished his legacy, so, why not?

==================================================

When fans go to the ballpark, some will carry gloves in the hopes of catching some foul balls or home runs.

A Colorado Rockies fan, however, mistimed his attempt at precisely the wrong time on Sunday, in the first game of a doubleheader against Seattle. You'll see what I mean in the highlight reel.

Luckily, Colorado won the game, but I feel sorry for the fan, who likely lost his privileges for the rest of the season.

===============================================

Less than 24 hours later, another fan caused some havoc at Yankee Stadium in the 1st inning of today's matinee between the Yankees & Oakland.

While umpires have a reputation of having "rabbit ears" when manning the plate, Hunter Wendelstedt, a 2nd generation arbiter who should know better, should've adjusted his antenna, if you will, placing the blame for a fan's verbal abuse against him on Yankee manager Aaron Boone, and Boone suffered the quickest ejection of his career.

Umpires do have the authority to eject fans. Bob Davidson famously did that during his career. Wendelstedt, at least, owes Boone an apology before tomorrow's game.
