MLB announced that Padres general manager A.J. Preller has been suspended without pay for 30 days following the league’s investigation into his team’s shady handling of player medical data.

Padres Chairman Continues To Shit On Players Who Didn't Live Up To His Expectations
There are a lot of big dumb assholes involved in major league baseball. This guy, for example.

Manny Pacquiao Is Sorry For Saying Gay People Are Worse Than Animals, Is Still A Shitbag
Manny Pacquiao has long been a homophobic buster, a failing that carries much more weight given the fact that he is a sitting (if mostly absent) congressman in his native Philippines.

Stan Kroenke Will Never Care About You
The thing that always strikes me about people’s reactions to the general fuckery carried out by pro sports owners is the genuine disbelief.

What The Hell Is Phil Jackson Even Talking About?
Knicks president Phil Jackson sat down for a Q&A with The New York Times this week, and things got a little weird. Aside from congratulating himself on doing a generally fine job with the Knicks and saying nothing that should convince anyone that his ideas about basketball have gotten less crappy, h...
Doc Rivers Wants To Remind You That It's Never His Fault
If there’s one thing Doc Rivers has excelled at in his first stint as a general manager with the Los Angeles Clippers, it’s talking a lot of mess that’s meant to deflect attention away from how bad he’s been at building a deep and functional NBA roster....
