Traina Thoughts: Steve Kerr Has Thoughts on How People Curse on Twitter

Steve Kerr has funny thoughts on tweets with curses and asterisks.

1. This is why Steve Kerr is a legend. He calls out stupidity.

And using curse words on Twitter with one letter removed and an asterisk put in its place is textbook stupidity. Everyone knows what word you are using. What exactly are you accomplishing? Nothing. Kerr understands this and has this amusing back-and-forth with his buddy, Bay Area radio host Tom Tolbert.

Great f*cking job by Kerr calling out this bullsh*t!

2. Barry Bonds, the greatest baseball player I've ever seen, turns 55 years old today. For the most part, Bonds has disappeared since retiring from baseball in 2007, and it seems the only time his name pops up these days is when people want to argue about the Hall of Fame. But if you're not someone who has let possible enhancements skew your judgment about just how great Bonds was as player, it's fun to remember the entertainment he provided—good and bad, and, on and off the field.

Here are five examples:

• I might be biased because I was at this game, but Bonds hit the longest home run I've ever seen at Yankee Stadium.

• Bonds had one of the great cameos in the history of Beverly Hills, 90210.

• Bonds was once INTENTIONALLY walked with the bases loaded.

• Keenan Thompson once did a tremendously funny spoof of Bonds on Saturday Night Live.

• While with the Pirates, Bonds did something so bad, it led to manager Jim Leyland giving us one of the greatest rants of all time.

3. On a brand new Sports Illustrated Media Podcast, New York Post sports media reporter Andrew Marchand joins the show to talk about the controversy surrounding ESPN's Dan Le Batard, who blasted his own network and President Donald Trump on a recent show. What was Le Batard's biggest mistake? Why did ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro choose not to suspend Le Batard? What does Le Batard's future at ESPN look like? Should all sports shows have a "no politics talk" policy? We tackled all those questions and much more.

4. As usual, LeBron celebrated Taco Tuesday last night, but he did so from the set of Space Jam 2.
