MLB's International Signing Rules Are A Disgrace
The precise details of what led to former Atlanta Braves general manager John Coppolella’s downfall are still unknown, but the basics are out: It was a breach of international signing rules, one said to be “significantly bigger” than the one that cost the Red Sox dearly last year.

Dion Waiters Is Rich Now And I've Been Brutally Owned
A little over one year ago, I wrote a blog post about Dion Waiters signing with the Miami Heat on a one-year, $2.9 million deal after turning down a qualifying offer worth $6.8 million from the Thunder.

Sam Hinkie Leveraged The Orbit Of The Earth To Effectuate Snow Disruption
It’s been a good week for Sixers fans. The team used just one first-rounder from its draft-pick surplus to move up to the No. 1 spot in the NBA Draft, where it will take Markelle Fultz. That gives the team a young corps of Fultz, Ben Simmons, Dario Šarić, and, of course, Joel Embiid. No one really k...

Here Is A Funny Joke
My large adult sons (actually they’re eight and six) and I bundled ourselves against the cold and worked for around two and a half hours this morning. We shoveled and salted while the snow fell.
