Now, he knows how they’re handling it—by playing him a whole lot less. And he’s pissed, as he told reporters after last night’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers:

Florida Finds Title IX Official Had Conflict Of Interest; Won't Say How, Why

The University of Florida released its investigative report today into a fired Title IX official, Chris Loschiavo, who was last known for being removed from the Antonio Callaway student-conduct case and replaced by a lawyer and football booster (who found him not responsible for sexual assault). The investigative report said that Loschiavo had “both a conflict of interest and a lack of independence” in a certain Title IX case—but did not say which one. The problems brought up in the document, though, mirror those brought up by the wide receiver’s lawyers, as reported by the Tampa Bay Times: Loschiavo had a conflict of interest because of his outside consulting work and he held an inappropriate role in the case.

Curt Schilling Should Be In The Hall Of Fame

As of this morning, Ryan Thibodaux’s invaluable Hall of Fame election tracker has the results of 44 ballots up, representing about a tenth the total number of ballots expected to be cast by veteran baseball writers this year. It’s a skewed and self-selecting sample—writers who make their ballot public and do so early tend as a group to have opinions closer to those of the average Deadspin reader than those of the average Hall voter—but one thing is very clear: Curt Schilling won’t be voted into Cooperstown this year, and probably never will be.

Rogue One Is A Refreshing Dive Into The Muck Of The Star Wars Universe

A good proxy test for the tone of a Star Wars movie is the demeanor of the featured droids. R2-D2 and C-3PO carry out a cheerful buddy comedy in a movie that is about friendship and hope triumphing over evil. BB-8 is a version of R2-D2 that’s been multiplied by itself several times over until it’s nothing but a roly-poly kids toy, there to enhance the “Holy shit, I’m watching a Star Wars movie again!” high of Force Awakens. The soldier droids from the prequels were pointless and stupid, and, well, you get the idea.

Jared Goff Forced To Leave Game After Massive Hit From Richard Sherman

Rams QB Jared Goff’s lackluster night in Seattle ended early after Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman leveled him in the fourth quarter when Goff was breaking for the end zone. Goff hesitated for a moment before getting steamrolled by Sherman, and the hit was not ruled to be an illegal one. Cruelly, Goff’s run was wiped out due to a holding penalty.
