Day 352

• Greeat...  Now we have Jeremy Lin getting the G League (where he now plays for Golden State's team in the developmental league) investigating someone in a game calling him "Coronavirus"...  Really.  No joke.  Ugh...   
• LeBron James and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are at odds -- Zlatan wants LeBron to STFU and Stick To Sports.  LeBron, obviously, will not.  Kinda tells you about Zlatan a bit, doesn't it???   
• The Atlanta Dream have been sold to a new consortium -- Bigot Kelly Loeffler is out.
• John Geddert was charged Thursday with 24 counts of human trafficking, sexual assault, racketeering, and lying to the cops.
• Hours later, he killed himself, rather than continuing to expose the USOC as a pro-rape sexual-trafficking outfit.  
• Once the NCAA Tournaments start, any teams forced to withdraw due to COVID-19 will be forced to forfeit -- there will be no replacements.  There should be no Tournament again this year -- Hell, there should've been no season!!!   
• An increasing number of schools are opting out of the deal allowing EA to relaunch college football.  Cancellation incoming...   
• Various sexually assaulted and harassed parties surrounding the Washington Football Team cheerleading squad want the NFL's results of their investigation made known to them.  ... probably so they can try to sue the league when THEY sweep this under the rug.   
• A former Utah Jazz player wants a league investigation to a bigoted comment he claims a team executive made to him in 2015.  Gee, why do you think this is coming out NOW???  You don't think it's because the Jazz have become too good for the NBA's narrative and the table need be set for them to be stopped come...  when the Hell are the playoffs going to be again?  May, June and July? 
• And with a history of this that might make Donald Sterling proud, it sounds as if Dennis "I'll Cut Your Black Ass" Lindsey (CORRECTION:  Millsap is the player making the charge!) is the latest basketball owner who needs to go.  And it's covered up because the Jazz, of course, are in Salt Lake City -- almost a "Not In America" city (and I know, I've visited there a couple of times) because of the ties to the Mormons.  And a hat-tip to my anonymous friend for the backdrop -- and for multiple corrections.
• The G League is playing in a bubble in Florida, playoffs to begin March 8th.
• Minnesota Timberwolves:  Malik Beasley, 12 games for a violation of the NBA's Personal Conduct Policy, due to a guilty plea for terrorist threats back in September.  If I were Silver, he serves the 120 day sentence now, is banned for the season, and can petition for reinstatement upon completion of the amended league year.  I think it's a mistake to let Beasley play now.   
• New Zealand is back in COVID lockdown, so the America's Cup finals are on hold.  New Zealand vs. Italy in the final.  Won't start until at least mid-March.
