Day 312

  • The 2021 NFL Combine has been cancelled.
  • Full day of Martin Luther King Day games in the NBA today, starting at about noon Eastern.
  • Phil Spector has passed away.  Murderer of Lana Clarkson, Spector went from major record producer to dying in prison.
  • ESPN reports that the GM of the New York Mets, Jared Porter, sent 62 unsolicited sexual harassment texts to a female reporter over a one-month period in 2016, including at least one nude photo.  He has admitted it, and the Mets are probably looking for a new general manager.
  • Also looking for a new coach is the Tennessee Volunteer football team -- Jeremy Pruitt, after an investigation into recruiting violations, has been fired by the school for cause.  They apparently found such a wide-ranging slew of violations and cover-ups...  Shut.  Down.  The.  Program.  If this is happening at an irrelevant school like TENNESSEE, it's time to pull the plug there.
  • And the AD is gone too, Phil Fullmer, the long-time football coach of the school before Pruitt.
  • Another outburst, another NBA team, another forced trade.  The Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to trade Kevin Porter Jr. after an outburst in the locker room.  If they can't, they'll fire him.
