The Los Angeles Dodgers fire Ippei Mizuhara, Shohei Ohtani's long-time interpreter. Mizuhara was accused by Ohtani's attorneys of engaging in a “massive theft” of Ohtani's funds to place bets with an illegal bookmaker, according to the LA Times.
If you're ever suffering from insomnia, put on a non-major golf telecast and lie down on your couch. Promise it will be some of the deepest, best sleep you'll ever get.
And I say that as someone who loves to play/practice golf. [Reply]

This is a good point. I couldn't stand to be a fan of a team and not be able to watch all of their games. A football game is an event, whereas a game in these other sports is a general workday. [Reply]
I actually think that basketball is the most boring sport now, even worse than soccer. It's got great athletes, sure, but the athletes have outgrown the sport. It's too easy for them. [Reply]

In general baseball and basketball are also going through some **** it and chuck it shit too. A lot of bball teams chucking up 3s and pitchers throwing their arms out and hitters who either strike out or hit homers. Especially in the nba that’s led to tons of unwatchable blowouts
Throw this one on the pile with all the other ludicrously bad takes by Zilla. [Reply]

Throw this in a pile of the world doesn’t revolve around your personal opinion. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean others don’t. The nba is plenty exciting. Like most sports its popularity is going to be strongest with fans who follow good teams with a nearby market so its hard to take much stock in what most of us think about nba, nhl, or even mlb given the royals recent track record [Reply]

Well, given there is virtually no defense being played... [Reply]

Dont be slamming soccer now
Someone passing a kidney stone has no idea the horrific pain and torture a soccer player feels when accidentally touched by another soccer player on the field [Reply]
Ohtani making a statement right now...doubling down on the initial claim, says he's never bet on baseball or any other sport and never through a bookmaker.
He said the translator stole $$ from his account and is telling lies.
Too much more to post, it's the usual double down you see from athletes in this situation...
