In fact, an owner who conducted himself like Richardson did face all that. Nearly four years ago, the NBA and Adam Silver took Donald Sterling’s team away from him, and told him he didn’t have to go home, but he had to get the hell out of there. That’s what the NFL and Roger Goodell could, and should, do to Richardson and the stain he’s left on the Panthers and the league, as Sports Illustrated has reported....

Time to dial back, spend less, save more. But you can’t fix everything at once–especially when you’re trying to dig out of a hole. What should you do first, and which are the next steps along the road? For some answers, I turned to the experts at the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors, who get people out of jams like these. Not every adviser takes the same approach.

The Russian was a key player in the third season’s best episode, “The Pine Barrens,” in which Christopher (Michael Imperioli) and Paulie (Tony Sirico) allow a murderous Russian mafioso, whom they tried and failed to kill, to escape into the icy back woods of South Jersey. Chris and Paulie spend the episode tramping through snow and freezing their butts off, trying in vain to find the Russian. They succeed only in getting themselves lost....

According to ESPN Friday, the arrangement is the first indication that Donald Sterling may be willing to give up his share of the team without a fight, reports Xinhua.

CREW has found over 2,300 conflicts of interest resulting from Trump’s decision not to divest ownership of his global business empire upon entering office. The group used social media, news reports, Freedom of Information Act responses and other sources of information to tally these instances. The nonprofit added that there are likely more conflicts of interest than the ones they have been able to identify. “This corrupt relationship between the Trump Organization and the White House leaves the American public in the dark about whether presidential decisions and policy are being made in the best interest of the country or in the best interest of the president’s own bottom line,” Noah Bookbinder, CREW’s executive director, told Newsweek....

Throughout his Oval Office rant, Trump hurled accusations of “treason,” while railing against Democrats for launching an impeachment inquiry into his now infamous July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as against journalists for reporting on it.

Lockdowns, quarantines and other containment measures are causing major problems for businesses....

Trump has been vocal in his criticism of Schiff and Pelosi following the announcement of the impeachment inquiry, and Schiff’s summary of a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Aid to the country had been held up by Trump around the same time. Late on Sunday night, the president lashed out at the pair once again, suggesting they were guilty of treason....

Reverting to the use of nicknames to mock his rivals, Trump fired up the crowd in Lake Charles on Friday night as he panned “Nervous Nancy” and “Sleepy Joe,” also reviving his “Pocahontas” jibe at Warren. “I absolutely think they’re going to endorse me, because if they don’t can you imagine having Pocahontas as your president,” Trump said of the media as he took a shot at Warren, whose Native American heritage claims the president has suggested are exaggerated....

When discussing racial tensions in the U.S., and responding to Trump declaring himself the least racist person in the room, Biden referred to Trump and said: “‘Abraham Lincoln’ here is one of the most racist presidents we’ve had in modern history. “He pours fuel on every single racist fire, every single one. He started off his campaign coming down the escalator saying he’s going to get rid of those Mexican rapists....

Kelly expressed concerns about the statements, which are currently being investigated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, as well as the Manhattan District Attorney.
