- Ben Simmons has been suspended by the 76ers for tonight's season opener due to a practice incident on Monday -- it is apparent he has lost the rest of the team.
- At least one Power 5 coach now believes March Madness should be abolished and replaced with a tournament just for the major conferences. ... which would end the NCAA in about five minutes. March Madness is all that keeps the enabling anachronism together.
- Gonzaga head coach Mark Few has pled guilty to misdemeanor DUI in Montana and must pay a $1,000 fine -- he has also been suspended by the school for at least their season opener... ... and the conference (since I won't hope the NCAA does the right thing) should make it far longer than that. Especially because he lied to a police officer about drinking before blowing .11 or .12.
- Kenbrell Thompkins is going to prison for identity theft to commit COVID unemployment insurance fraud -- cup of coffee with at least three NFL teams... *sigh*
- Nick Rolovich is suing Washington State for being fired for refusing the COVID vaccine. Shut up, fucker...
- DeMaurice Smith, head of the NFLPA, in continuing to demand the release of the Washington Football Team e-mails, calls the NFL a "feudal oligarch system". Add one or two more words and you might be right -- slavery and White come to mind...
- Tom Brady has a sense of humor, congratulating continuing Bears "owner/shareholder" Aaron Rodgers.
- The University of Rhode Island is investigating an unnamed student for a racist Instagram screed against Dolphins player Emmanuel Ogbah.
- According to sources, a roboump tryout in the minor leagues for balls and strikes has been a "disaster", to use Yardbarker's terminology.
- Some thought the Miami Dolphins might make the mistake and trade for DeShaun Watson. If so, that's gotta tell you something about the NFL prospects for Tua Taglialova.
The truth is not what actually happened. It's what you can ENFORCE happened. It's ALL enforcement.
