Rivera was going to send an email to Adam Schefter announcing the punishment, but he couldn’t find his laptop.

World Chess just wants the check, mate.

Ahem: go fuck yourself

Depends on who you voted for. I voted Hillary and actually enjoyed this article, even if it’s not satirical. It’s a good balance to this site and all of the other Post-Gawker sites.
