Punch This!

The Schloss-Blog is wondering, what would happen if you walked into work one day and just cold-cocked someone? Just walked up to anyone in your office and slugged him or her, unsolicited, uncalled for, inappropriate to the hilt.

Would you get fired? Suspended? Docked pay? Maybe. Definitely. Probably.

So how come Draymond Green is still walking around at Golden State Warriors facilities and practices like nothing happened since he slugged Jordan Poole? Unsolicited? Uncalled for? Totally cold-cocked.

He was MIA at Warriors training camp and practices for a while, but has since come back, appearing unscathed and back in the NBA champion's lineup

Was he punished? Was it handled entirely internally? What about Poole? Should he cold-cock Green some time soon, unsolicited?

Do you think Green was punished by the team in a way that we'll never know about? How do you think his teammates feel? How would your coworkers feel?

Would you be ostracized? Should Green be? Should Poole press assault charges? What would his teammates think? What do they think now? What would your coworkers think if you pressed charges if you were the offended party? Would you press charges?

Which one of them is now the ostracized one in the locker room? Green, the sassy, physical, often inappropriate veteran star, or Poole, the kid coming off a terrific sophomore season?

Which one is the future of the franchise? In your case, which one of you fits into the future image of the company - the guy you slugged, or you?

Let's face it - if you walked into work and slugged someone, you're gone. Draymond Green is a star.

Who slugs you. Cold-cocks you. Unsolicited.

How excited are you about the Phillies-Padres National League Championship Series?

Where are the Dodgers, the Braves, the Mets? In other words, where are the big-market ratings Fox is counting on for the World Series?

At least the Yankees are still alive. Just barely. For now.

Maybe the Astros won't cheat this time around.

Quick takes:

* Generation Z says Chick-fil-A is its favorite quick-service restaurant. They also say it has the worst drive-thru times.

* Tennessee beat Alabama and they're tearing up the stadium and the town and parts of the state. If it had been West Virginia that had beaten Alabama, every worn-out old couch on every front porch in the state would still be on fire.

* "I'm your chef, not your doctor," was what Guy Fieri said to interviewer Mike Wallace  of CNN, regarding the oftentimes questionable value of his dishes for your gastroenterology.

Sounds like he could run for governor of Georgia.

* The Alaska snow crab season has been canceled. It appears 90 percent of them have simply disappeared, victims of climatology? They are now the semiconductor chips of the foodservice industry.

* Elon Musk was going to stop supplying Starlink communications to Ukraine unless the U.S. Department of Defense started paying for it.

Then he changed his mind. So did he talk to Putin, or not? Or did war-weary Putin call him? Collect?

Good night Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you Sharon Kelley, conquering the terrain of Portugal.

I'll be off this Sunday on Radio Free Phoenix. Saying my farewells to my beloved mother-in-law. 

Miss you guys, GDX, miss you. #GDXforever
