Kevin Johnson is a criminal rapist scumbag and should be the one in jail. I know first hand the long lasting impact his horrific actions have had on at least one of his victims.

Marcos Breton, for one. Read more
Breton was so bad at writing about sports the Sacramento Bee shifted him away years ago to covering local politics and city doings. While covering sports he wrote two books about Latin Baseball players (really, Miguel Tejada) and shamelessly plugged them in his own columns at the Bee. Writing about how he cried when… Read more
Are there really people defending KJ at this point? I thought he’d been pretty much abandoned. Read more
Just another reminder how vulnerable the powerless are when they affront the powerful, however ridiculous the circumstances (well, not ridiculous for the powerless guy who was severely beaten and now railroaded for his minor offense). Good on the jury actually for at least partially seeing through this. Read more
As a former Sacramentan: Marcos Bretan has been the worst for a long time.

The city doesn’t want to get sued for KJ and crew kicking the shit out of him, so it’s in their to make it stick. Otherwise they kicked the shit out of an innocent person. Read more
We are on board with someone who throws a pie in a politician’s face being charged with and accepting a low-level misdemeanor with a fine and community service, not being forced to go on trial for a goddamn felony assault charge.
We are also on board with politicians that commit numerous acts of sexual assault being… Read more

I think what we are on board with is two criminal trials to prosecute a relatively harmless political act against a serial sexual harasser and fraudster, when the guy has already been punished by getting his ass kicked, are perhaps pushing things a little too far. Read more
Hahahahahahahahaaaaa! Read more
You disagree with facts posted with actual screenshots disproving your dishonesty? That’s bold. Read more
Jesus. The very least you could do is have the courage of your convictions. Now you’re both dishonest AND a coward. Good work. Read more
I think its awesome that news isn’t really news anymore and is instead a longform game of telephone where the story just keeps getting twisted a little bit until you end up with something like this. I mean f*%k checking a source out when copy-paste is way faster. Read more
A woman is named ‘Nazi’. Read more
Also important to note for comparison: New York’s IS 318 was the real urban chess success story. In 2012, their middle school team—which included two masters, an expert, and a class A player, all black—won both the K-8 championship and the K-12 championships, and was the first middle school team ever to win a K-12… Read more
For two players ranked 400 points apart, the stronger player is 10x as likely to win as the weaker player. For two players ranked 1200 points apart (e.g. a player rated 2200 and the Baltimore kid rated 1000) the stronger player would be 1000x as likely to win. Read more
To be perfectly blunt, a 980 is a nothing rating. You can take someone who doesn’t know the rules of the game and turn them into a 980 in probably a week. Some people will be stronger than 980 imediately after learning the rules. This isn’t meant to be insulting to the kid, who I’m sure isn’t seeing top-notch… Read more
This is so funny, especially in light of Slava Malamud’s take down Tweetstorm of Ted/Caps real issues. Read more
Kevin Johnson just doesn’t get that anything he has done is wrong, not to mention disgusting as fuck. Over All-Star weekend in February, KJ was trying to put himself in the middle of everything at the Hall of Fame announcement press conference. (Pretty much everyone was treating KJ as if he had bubonic plague.) KJ’s… Read more
