Ime Idoka has been suspeded by the Boston Celtic's organization, that owns the team he coaches for one year for a consentual sexual relationship with a fellow female employee that breaks company policy.
Deshaun Watson gets suspended for 11 games for inappropriate sexual misconduct with 20 (Let me repeat, 20) underpaidm poor possibly immigrant massage parlor women. So, he gets fined 5 mil and losses chump change for the 11 games he'll miss. No mention of his 44 million signing bonus. The Browns signed him to a massive $230 million deal.
I'm not condoning what Idoka did. It's lowbrow, particularly since he's in a long term relastionship with the mother of his child.
Yeah, that's pretty putrid But hey, our recently past president was getting in on with a couple of woemn while his wife was pregnant with his baby. I think that takes the word putrid to another level of putridness.
So let's get real.
Chnage of subjec. (thank goodness) Kansas State Wildcats upseting the Oklahoma Sooners was fun. I love underdog victories.
More fun. Andre Igudala will be back playing for the Warriors for his 19th season. How about making it an even 20 seasons?
Susan Bird retires. One of the greatest basketball players in the history of the game. With great admiration. Now let's see the NBA begin figuring out how to pay the WNBA women so they don't have to go play in other countries to make a living playing hoops. The league just needs to take a long term approach about the women's league. Anyone who knows basketball will tell you the WNBA is looking more and more interesting and exciting with each season. Lots more athleticism going on. Except for the power dunking, and a touch more speed, the WNBA is looking a lot more like the male league.
I'm not a baseball enthusiast, but Aaron Judge hitting 60 homeruns derseves an attaboy.
Two more days to NBA training camp. HooWah!

Here's a short poem written in the voice of Walt Whitman in honor of baseball.
Walt Whitman from 4 Quatrains by Tom Meschery
On a little mound of earth, he rubberd
The ball, tenderly, 'till he felt its worth
Between split fingers, launch'd it forth.
