SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

Now, on to sports. There are storm clouds and trouble a brewin' in paradise.

Lots of rich older guys have trouble with their trophy wives. Only Tom Brady would find himself in deep hot water with a trophy daughter.

Time was when the now extinct Washington's Birthday holiday was the excuse for automobile sales campaigns. Now there's a car commercial every 30 seconds during whatever sporting event you are watching on TV. This does not include insurance commercials, which are ubiquitous.

"Trophy daughter"? Stretching a pun just a bit aren't we? I'm sure you would echo Edith Piaf's thought in that too frequent commercial, "rien, je ne regret rien".

I think Grohs has taken entitlement to an entirely new, and completely ridiculous, level.

She must have had triplets the year that Gronk put a dent in the Lombardi.

It's a good thing for this lady's mental health that she has no relationship to the Stanley Cup.
