Joey Bosa Teases NFL Farewell Tour
Former Ohio State standout Joey Bosa, now 30 and fresh off a season with the Buffalo Bills, is reportedly contemplating retirement after a decade in the NFL. Drafted third overall by the San Diego Chargers in 2016, Bosa achieved at least 10 sacks in four seasons and earned five Pro Bowl nods before injuries and salary-cap constraints led to his release. A first-round pick out of St. Thomas Aquinas High School, Bosa starred at OSU for three seasons, collecting All-American honors and helping the Buckeyes to a national championship in 2014. The son of former Dolphins first-rounder John Bosa, Joey’s early exit would continue the family pattern of brief but brilliant pro careers.
Local rumor mills are already printing “Bosa’s Bosatime” T-shirts, even though Joey’s only proven retirement stat is binge-watching ESPN highlights. After ten years of sacking quarterbacks and dodging trainers, Bosa might swap helmet for hammock. Imagine offering him a comeback deal: “We’ll pay you in participation trophies and Sound of Music DVDs.” Yet football’s favorite laundry list of injuries suggests he’s done—unless he’s eyeing a cushy TV studio gig where the only sacks he racks up are potato chip bags.
Bruce Thornton’s Draft Delight: No State Taxes!
Ohio State’s all-time leading scorer Bruce Thornton was projected as a late second-round pick but found himself snapped up by the Houston Rockets after they traded up with the Knicks. Thornton, a four-year team captain, lauded the chance to play alongside stars like Sengun and Kevin Durant and praised his leadership preparation at OSU. His playful draft night reaction—“No state tax, so that’s even better”—underscored his relief and readiness to prove himself in the NBA. He vows to bring relentless defense, big shots, and a champion’s mentality to Houston.
In a plot twist worthy of a feel-good sports trope, Thornton’s greatest draft takeaway isn’t basketball: it’s personal finance. Who knew that “No state tax!” would resonate louder than “We need your handles!”? Expect Thornton to lecture rookie teammates on municipal tax codes mid-practice and insist on motivational posters about compounding interest. But beneath the financial zeal, he’s still that kid from Georgia who just wants to win games—provided he can maximize his tax refund first.
