Did you miss the part where Fisher became the liaison for a payday-loan company that specifically marketed itself to rich black athletes? Dude was like VP of Athlete Relations, basically using his platform to get cash-strapped athletes to hock their jewelry, cars and other luxury toys for a quick buck.

My version of this story is that my HS coach told my brother he couldn’t play catcher because he was 6'5". My brother shot back that Joe Mauer is 6'5" and he’s a great catcher. So the coach told him that if he was as good as Joe Mauer he’d be the starting catcher every game.
The Padres have the perfect between-innings antidote: a segment called “Why Are You Wearing That?”

Guessing whatever explanation they give will come attached with a statement from our big, swollen boy backing it up.

Brewers fan here. Happy to be the hand gripping this particular throat—two years in a row!
Hey, don’t hate on Urban. That’s the look of a man who worked deep into the night grading papers for his ethics and leadership in sports class and has earned the right to watch a little ball on Saturday.
It’s a damned shame, because they had a stretch where they had a ton of talent. Beer Money, AJ Styles, Kazarian, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries, and their womens division was a legitimate enterprise (Tessmacher, Gail Kim, ODB, Skye, Rain) long before the WWE came around on it.
You could run a nine-part Ken Burns documentary series on the fuckups of TNA — including a whole episode devoted for the hilariously inept opening night of the Hogan/Bischoff era on Monday night opposite RAW, featuring a red birdcage match that no one could climb and ended in DQ, or the long-awaited debuts of young…
