CJ Kirst in a little over a calendar year achieved an incredible list of Lacrosse accolades:
2025 Tewaaraton Trophy Winner
2025 NCAA Champion (Cornell)
2026 NLL Rookie of the Year
2026 NLL Champion (Toronto Rock)
2026 PLL MVP
2026 PLL Champion
2026 PLL Championship MVP
All-timer of an ending to the post-championship press conference as the entire Waterdogs team crashed during the final question.

The 2026 @PremierLacrosse championship is near and I have a full slate of picks for the matchup between the Denver Outlaws and Philadelphia Waterdogs.
Read my preview to see what I'm betting on in the title game on Sunday.
FanDuel is offering PLL Championship MVP odds again this year, but it looks like only in a handful of states (AZ, CT, IL, NC are a few).
Currently not available in states like CO, NJ, NY or PA at the moment.
Who's your pick for 2026 PLL Championship MVP?
This discourse is silly. Allen & likewise Mahomes/Lamar are in their early 30s with career seasons as recent as 2-3 years ago. There's little to suggest a Cam-like dropoff is coming.
For next 4-6 years, if Bills have Allen, Chiefs have Mahomes & Ravens have Lamar, window's open.
The 2026 @PremierLacrosse MVP will likely be awarded to CJ Kirst or Michael Sowers tonight.
Yet, neither player is concerned about an MVP trophy at the moment.
Their sights are firmly on winning a championship trophy with the @PLLWaterdogs.

With the PLL season nearing its end, I was thinking about how grateful I am to have covered this season in 2 such unique ways.
First, thank you to @kennydejohn and @USALMag for giving me the opportunity to write weekly previews and recaps this season. It has been a blast.

@Ron_Mucks@kennydejohn@USALMag Thank you Ron for allowing me to come on your show. Wish I was available for more, but glad I could join a few.
Got my start podcasting so you help scratch that itch now that I don't have the time for my own show. Looking forward to seeing you at the game tomorrow!
@kennydejohn@USALMag@n_oxnam Sunday will be my 6th PLL Championship in person. Only times I've missed were '20 when no one attended and '24 when my sons were a couple of weeks old. I'm blessed to have seen so many key moments in this league's history. Going to try to continue to not take that for granted. ✌️
@kennydejohn@USALMag@n_oxnam I don't know how every player/coach feels, but appreciate how willing many have been to still talk to me. Maybe they ignore the betting pieces, maybe it's bulletin board material or maybe they don't know it even exists.
But I'm grateful they let me live the best of both worlds.
