Greetings from the sports desk located somewhere below decks of the Good Pirate Ship RedState. Sammy the Shark is currently teasing Karl the Kraken over how yours truly spotted San José Sharks 2024 first-round draft pick and #1 player picked overall Macklin Celebrini’s father, Rick Celebrini, the Golden State Warriors’ VP of Player Health and Performance, and Rick’s daughter (i.e., Macklin’s younger sister) coming into my workplace the other day to get some soccer shoes for the sister. Small world.
What tipped me off that Rick Celebrini and offspring were in the house was, in addition to the father looking familiar, the Golden State Valkyries t-shirt Rick was wearing. For the uninitiated, the Valkyries are the latest addition to the WNBA. The Flying Vs will commence playing in the 2025 season, assuming we all survive the upcoming election. Oh, and the assorted earthquakes…
