David Stern had USA Today reporter fired

Possibly writers at SI got so used to fact checkers and copy editors saving their behinds from mistakes that Stern's quote just flew by the writer. But that sort of inside-baseball charge should have perked up the writer's ears immediately and either got him busy fact-checking it or flagging it for the first person to handle his copy. You don't just type that and let it go.

 

Haha!!

 

The real story behind the story here: Stern didn't veto Chris Paul trade, as Demps had no authority to arrange it | Peter Vecsey on Patreon

 

I'd love a demographic breakdown on the 202 people who are paying for Pete Vescey on Patreon. I wonder if they all ever go on a cruise together.

 

Yeah, I'd be very afraid of what was in the creepier tiers of the Pete Vescey Patreon.
