 Today it was announced that a letter sent by commissioner Rob Manfred to the New York Yankees detailing a 2017 investigation involving a cheating scandal will become a public document, two years after a judge ruled it should be unsealed.
"The plaintiffs in a lawsuit over the daily fantasy ramifications of electronic sign-stealing in baseball allege that a 2017 news release from commissioner Rob Manfred hid the full findings of what MLB discovered the Yankees had done. The letter's impending release will reveal any differences between what Manfred said in public about his findings and what was revealed in private. Manfred wrote the letter to Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, and it is alleged to contain proof of the team's sign-stealing methods from 2017, when New York was busted for improperly using a dugout phone and the Boston Red Sox were found to be using Apple Watches to pick up on signals from opposing teams" Per ESPN it will be at least two weeks before the letter is made public. ESPN also reported that "Yankees team president Randy Levine argued against the release of the letter in December 2020, saying it would raise "serious" privacy issues and that letters by the Houston Astros and the Red Sox, filed as confidential in the suit, weren't being made public. Levine also said that the letter would harm the Yankees' reputation" Dude, whaattttttt. The New York Yankees? The morale compass of the MLB? CHEATERS?!?! HOW COULD THIS BE?! Honestly fuck this entire franchise, they are the morale compass of the MLB and they are some of the biggest pieces of shit in the game. Their closer is a "allegedly" shot his gun 8 fucking times at the wall near his girlfriend and choked her but who the fuck cares he's a Yankee. Hal Steinbrenner who owns the Yankees literally said "everyone will forget about it" because it's no big deal because its the New York Yankees. Like this organization has been filled with pieces of shit but it all gets swept under the rug because it's the Yankees and they're above everyone. I'm not saying these guys were with the Yankees when they were arrest but Jesus H Christ they have had some real pieces of shit play for this organization. Yeah, I'm a Mets fan, Yeah, we've had some REAL PIECES OF SHIT play for our team but we admit it and we don't act like we're better than the rest of the fucking baseball world. John Wetteland? Yankees Legend, world series winner....oh yeah he was arrested for child sex abuse chargers for sexually assaulting a child from ages 4-6 for 2 years. Joba Chamberlin, who fucking sucked by the way but Yankees fans LOVED him, had about three thousand DUI's but who cares he wears pinstripes. Steve Howe? Never heard of him? Yeah he sucked too but in 1991 he got arrested for felony cocaine charges, still played 5 more years with the franchise. Have we talked about some of the legends?! Mickey Mantle? You guys know him right? Yeah, big time alcoholic and outside of baseball, cheating on his wife seemed to be his favorite sports. He's got a plaque though in whatever the fuck the Yankees call their shrine thing. Honestly I hate this entire franchise, Randy Levine literally didn't want this letter to come out because it would ruin their reputations. Yeah no shit, you cheated....the same organization who's been talking about the Astros for years, the same fan base that can't let it go that the Astros cheated, were doing the same shit. Yeah, the Astros are giant pieces of shit but now maybe we can see the Yankees aren't the morality police of the MLB

 Let's be honest with ourselves as Sabres fans, this game....this game was our playoffs. We circled this game on the calendar, we wanted to win and we wanted to shove it up Eichel's hoop....and we did just that. This game could not have played out any more perfectly in my opinion. Eichel was a -1 with 0 goals and 0 assists, it was almost clear that he was a bit rattled during the game as I've never seen him back check or play any kind of defensive game like he did on Thursday night. Say what you want, I watched the game Eichel was rattled, I don't care how you saw it but the guy was rattled.
The scoring started with Peyton Krebs, one of the pieces Buffalo got in the Eichel trade. Buffalo completely controlled most of the first period, completely dominating the shots and taking a 1-0 lead into the second period. Craig Anderson stood on his head in the 2nd period and throughout all of the game, 1-0 still for the good guys going into the 3rd period. Halfway through the 3rd Ben Hutton had a weak shot from the point that somehow got past Anderson, a lot of traffic in front may have prevented Anderson from making the save. With 3 minutes and change left Victor Olofsson sniped one on the Power Play and you can say what you want but Olofsson for sure did the Jack Eichel celebration with his hands up. Then....then we come to the climax of the game, I can guarantee you more than half of Sabres fans are still stiff thinking about this moment. Vegas pulls the goalie.....6 on 5......Vegas is in Buffalo's zone....they whip it around the net.....and it comes to Jack Eichel at the point.....he tries to hold it in.....and here he comes....our guy.....our future captain.....a man I am not afraid to say, I would take a bullet for......Alex Tuch picks Jack Eichel's pocket a he tries to keep in in and flies down the wing on a bad angle shot to seal the 3-1 victory. This was our playoffs, John Buccigross said it perfectly....."Tonight, we dine in hell!" Now, Let's get to the focal point of this. Jack Eichel is such a little shit. He's an entitled, self absorbed, spoiled little brat. The worst thing Eichel could have done after the game was speak to the media, this guy just continues to make himself look like a complete asshole. He showed his true colors last night, he showed exactly who Buffalo Sabres fans knew he was. He such an embarrassing asshole, he makes a comment like "Maybe they're booing because I'm not here anymore"? Dude are you fucking kidding me? That's so fucking embarrassing, he's an absolute joke but good lord stop doing media. Ever see him do an interview? He just looks around, he looks at the ceiling, he's so disinterested in being there. Eichel is such a mental head case he literally cannot stop looking like an absolute shit head. Listen, he never had the best rep around town in Buffalo, he was never a lead and should have never been captain, he's so fucking far from a leader its almost laughable to think of him ever wearing a C anywhere else. Then he says "That's the loudest I've heard them in 7 years, all it took was 7 years and me to get traded". This is probably the first time, the first time in that time frame the attendance has been this bad, Sabres fans are one of if not the best fan group in all of hockey, Eichel took a cheap and emarrassing shot that was a wide miss. The Sabres spoiled the Jack Eichel parade and spoiled it good, The Knights have been horrible since Eichel has come back to the lineup. He's an absolute locker room cancer, you're seeing a guy who's been told all his life that he's the best and he's the greatest. People have been tugging Eichel off his entire life and this is the first real taste of adversity he's ever gotten and he can't handle it at all, he's becoming more embarrassing every time he opens his fucking mouth and Christ almighty can we talk about his gross ass facial hair for a second? It looks like the bottom of the shower stall at the YMCA on 65 and up day, he suck.....we hate him and I'm glad we shove it up his ass on that Thursday night.  I think we all wanted a little bit more from this fight card, not a bad fight card.....just not the one we wanted. Colby Covington did what we knew he had to do to win the fight and he did it masterfully. Seeing Greg Hardy get KO'd....again was most definitely my highlight of the night. We wanted a war that we didn't get, so let's take a look at the break down of a grudge match years in the making.
Colby Covington defeats Jorge Masvidal VIA unanimous decision In a match I personally have been wanting to see for years, ever since Colby randomly started to talk shit about Masvidal....to me it didn't live up to expectations. Covington completed weaponized his pace, like I've said in the past and it really seemed to hurt Masvidal in the later rounds. Jorge had some chances, he knocked Covington down twice and when he did it in the 4th round I think he made a fatal error not just emptying the gas tank to get Colby out of there. Hate him or love him though, Colby Covington may in fact be a top 10 fighter in the world. Yeah we all wanted to see Jorge beat the fuck out of Colby but at the end of the day we didn't get it . Rafael dos Anjos defeats Renato Moicano VIA unanimous decision I mean, just a clinical beat down by the legend dos Anjos. Hats off to Moicano for taking the fight on 5 days notice, but the vet dos Anjos did whatever he wanted over 5 rounds v's Moicano. Rafael was upset over the fact the fight wasn't stopped and I gotta be honest, I don't blame him one bit. Renato offered little resistance to anything dos Anjos threw at him. Just a complete and utterly dominate performance by the former champ. Bryce Mitchell defeats Edson Barboza VIA unanimous decision Bryce Mitchell had the biggest test of his UFC career Saturday against Edson Barboza and he may have put in his best UFC performance of his short career inside the octagon. Mitchel dominated Barboza on the ground and was relentless. Barboza is a master striker but just couldn't get all three judges scored the fight for Mitchell(30-26, 30-25, 30-27). Mitchell is a force reckon with in the featherweight division. Kevin Holland defeats Alex Oliveira VIA TKO Holy shit did Kevin Holland need this win. Holland went 5-0 in 2020 but then proceeded to go 0-2-1 in his next three and was dominated in each of his losses. Holland looked really good on the feet in this one, he ended the first round knocking down Oliveira then finished him early in the second after knocking him down and lading vicious elbows while on top. Big win for Holland to get back on track in the welterweight division, Sergey Spivak defeats Greg Hardy VIA KO DUDE, Greg Hardy fucking sucks. This was Hardy's last fight on his contract so hopefully this bullshit experiment is over. This fucking guy keeps getting PPV spots and the only reason people have to be tuning in to watch him is to see him get knocked the fuck out. Yeah I know this was a "TKO" but I watched the fight, Hardy was on queer street and he was knocked the fuck out. Spivak is an absolute fucking KILLER and Hardy shouldn't be in the cage with this dude. He should go to regional scenes if he really wants to do this shit for real because right now he's a fucking joke. |
