Charlie Mackenzie: Hey Mom, I find it interesting that you refer to the Weekly World News as, “The paper.” The paper contains facts.

Why be so mean to Sacramento? We will welcome you as family when you realize you’re not talented enough to make it in LA or the Silicon Valley.

It’s not about people caring about Sacramento, its about a good cinderella story and how the community came together to save the team.

I know this isn’t an open thread but Jez is my only anonymous outlet. So... sorry.

I want to wear them and I am 42 with a potato-ish face. I would look ridiculous and not care in the least.

Exactly - because that very reputation is what disarmed people and let him get close to his victims - see every beloved coach, sweet uncle, respected pastor, actor who played a preacher on TV, and helpful next door neighbor, who was ever put in a position of trust that everyone is now utterly shocked to hear has been…

But telling in its own way. The truth is, if it were just about sex, sure, Kevin Johnson could probably get all the sex he could handle. He WANTED a victim, someone young and vulnerable that he could manipulate and abuse. What does that say about him? That’s he’s an abusive piece of shit.

Absolutely! Reading this Hieland guy’s dismissive comment (so many levels of wrong it’s mind boggling), I felt like rage whacking him with a piñata stick till some shame and empathy for others fell out. I hope that piece of shit never has a daughter, or child of either gender for that matter. Johnson is a…

He sponsors schools to get access to teenage girls and Rhee makes sure no one talks.

KJ was an incredible baller & had a reputation as one of the nicest guys in the NBA, a super religious dude. Fuck him. He should be in jail.

This is...very, very impressive reporting, Mr. McKenna. And though you write that it seemed like Ms. Koba wanted to be found (and had been increasingly so since January), you were the journalist that found her.

I’m so glad she had the bravery to do this.

Kudos to Mandi Koba for stepping into a role that is equal parts necessary and (I can only assume) difficult. She’s doing far more good than Kevin Johnson could ever hope to accomplish.

Fuck Kevin Johnson and his dirtbag attorney for calling a 15-year GIRL a slut. And as for his attorney’s claim that he could “had more attractive offers” for guys like Johnson that’s just not what they want (eg: R Kelly).

Why doesn’t Adam Brody have Paul Rudd’s career?

I am terrified at the prospect of this guy running for governor in 2018, not least because the list of sane Republicans is...short. The most likely GOP candidate, Devin Nunes, is controlled by Central Valley agribusiness interests who think that every drop of water that doesn’t get sucked out of the Delta and sent to…

Wow. This is excellent work as always. Please stay with it as the scope of everything is incredibly large, but fascinating.

Well at least one in five people have HSV 1 or 2, so a good portion of relationships have herpes written all over them.

After Julia Roberts started dating that married dude and then went around wearing a shirt rubbing it in the wife’s face, FUCK Julia Roberts. I’m sure there’s more to the story but still, not classy.
