Sad announcement, I thought he did a good job. What followed has been a disaster for MLB. Bud Selig in the ultimate hypocrite, making bank off the PED crisis, no one can ever convince me he didn't know what was happening. He get in the Hall of Fame, while the players, who did the heavy lifting during that era, are left out. Imagine being a puppet for Jerry Reinsdorf! I'm convinced that Manfred hates baseball and has no idea what's in MLB's best interest.

Bon Voyage: These old Disney movies are interesting to watch.

Hollywood Canteen: Enjoyable movie that's designed to boost morale. Betty Davis, I've always read, was the driving force behind the canteen.

Gravity Falls. This has become my favorite animation series, very creative and enjoyable.

Sad looking at all these great names that have passed on, what great creativity though.

Late to the game here, but how was this book? It looks interesting.

The Endless Summer.

The "Pat Ewing Fix", is the JFK Assignation Conspiracy of the NBA, it's true, the creased edge is the magic bullet of the NBA>

Some incredible gospel music I've been browsing through on YouTube.

POS, may he rot in jail. I remember when there was a thread about this guy, and I still shudder and am pissed off by what I read he and his group did to children.

Buck Privates

Very nice obituary, it was a sad day when Cuscuna died, he did so much for jazz.

It still boggles the mind, the claim that "no one knew". I'm supposed to believe there was no account looking at expenses, or that one was, but was all "It's only $500,00, nine times, to somone's personal bank account, and the memo line is 'gambling debts'.... that's fine, I won't flag it!"

Yeah, even with the Ohtani presser, there are so many questions: to run up that big of a debt, at the very beginning, some one is going to ask who is guaranteeing the money; who let's a low level employee run that big of a tab on his own? As JSngry asks, were there other athletes betting with this guy, especially among the Angels? Is that where the source came from? and was this guy the Angels bookie? His name didn't come from the yellow pages, that's for sure. Are there wiretaps and videos? MLB hopes they can turn a blind eye to this one, but I don't think so.

It all continues to sound strange to me, like a desperate cover up going on. Articles I’ve read always say Ohtani has no interest in other sports. So either he’s a great actor, or he’s hiding his gambling behind Mizuhara. Ask too the comment I see sometimes that he’s too rich to do something so dumb, I’d say ask Michael Jordan about that! Maybe Ohtani can play basketball in the G League for a year.
