Random musings on sports and pop culture from the mind of JimmyTraina.
1. The NBA has released the list of the top-selling jerseys for the 2016-17 regular season. The top 10 is as follows:
1. Stephen Curry, Warriors
2. LeBron James, Cavaliers
3. Kevin Durant, Warriors
4. Russell Westbrook, Thunder
5. Kyrie Irving, Cavaliers
6. Kawahi Leonard, Spurs
7. Kristaps Porzingis, Knicks
8. Jimmy Butler, Bulls
9. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks
10. James Harden, Rockets
2. Tony Romo didn’t crack the top-selling NBA jerseys list, but the former Cowboys quarterback, who will suit up and be on the bench for the Mavericks game against Denver tonight, spent Tuesday getting buckets and bantering with Dirk Nowitzki on Twitter.
3. Roger Goodell and the NFL have done it again. While the commissioner has done a great job making owners money, he basically messes up everything else. That brings us to the latest bit of news It was announced on NFL.com that players who participated in an arm wrestling event at the MGM in Las Vegas will be fined. Yes, the league that just put a team in Sin City is going to take money from players, such as Steelers linebacker James Harrison, Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills and Raiders punter Marquette King, because they had the audacity to arm wrestle at a casino. Yes, NFL rules state that players are prohibited from attending promotional events at casinos, but that rule rings a little hollow when you move a team into the gambling capital of the world. More important, though, was that at least were treated to this excellent tweet by King.

10. Former NFL running back Arian Foster is flying the not-so-friendly skies today. Let's hope it was goes okay for him.
