Which is why it was not posted in this thread, since a sense of humor is necessary to make light of a ridiculous situation. Which this thread is clearly not equipped with.

If you want to go to other threads and bring back stuff out of context, feel free. But then don’t complain. I think the Mayor needs impeached.

this is about the closest ive ever come to smashing the triangle. such a horrible and evil thing to suggest.

instead, ill just say that no one should ever take their own life, ever.

I'm just here for the international news story.

Seeing Carl and BS get their druthers up is just icing.

You're cool, TB is odd but interesting, sears is cool now that he's calmed down.

At least your being honest about hitting triangles. Most the cowards here like to be anonymous tattle tales. Thanks for outing yourself and being blocked

ive yet to even consider it, but that was the closest ive been to actually entertaining the idea. im not sure if you interpreted that as I have also in the past. now i need to figure out how to cope with being blocked by someone. can anyone walk me through the grieving process?

My mind is such mush that I can't even think straight.

When Ohtani said Masuhara was stealing money from him, his culpability ends.

He is saying Masuhara did the transfers without him knowing to pay of his own gambling debts.

Unless something different is revealed, Ohtani won't get any punishment. In the scenario above what did he do wrong? He didn't wager and didn't transfer the money himself.

He was irresponsible enough to allow someone access to his multimillion dollar bank account.

Nor should he be punished if he was truly a victim of theft.

The forensic accounting processes should be able to confirm some of these details (logins, IP addresses, etc), and if they bear differing or conflicting results, he should rightly be held accountable.

Hard disagree.

Nothing.

I don’t think he’s being truthful but unless MLB actively investigates his ties to the bookie or the FBI investigation uncovers inconsistencies, it’s over.

I don’t think MLB will do anything unless more comes out from the FBI implicating it. I think they are more than happy leaving Ohtani with plausible deniability and moving on.

I should have added that I don't believe any evidence will be found that contradicts what he says.

Blowout is ruined. Probably forever.

Basketball is dead.
Only one player matters in football.
Baseball has been taken over by the off topic gang.
