QuadrigaCX CEO Gerald Cotten fake-died in India to steal everyone's Bitcoin

This guy is alive. He has all your Bitcoin. If you have Bitcoin with him, I'm sorry, but he's fake dead and you're shit out of luck. He went to India and now he's dead? That is the best place to die if you're going to fake it. He is whale fucking with John McAfee.

Extensive investigations by the FBI, RCMP, and journalists (including the documentary 'Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King') have found no evidence Cotten is alive, despite the strange circumstances of his death in India.

LeBron James screwed over the Lakers by trying to tamper for Anthony Davis

LeBron screwed the Lakers. LeBron screwed the Lakers... This was like the most blatant act of tampering of all time... And now everyone hates him on the Lakers. And it's hilarious.

The 2018-19 Lakers were indeed in turmoil after the trade deadline, missing the playoffs despite having LeBron. The chemistry was widely reported as toxic.

The Pelicans' refusal to trade Anthony Davis was a battle of owners reasserting power over players

The ownership decided this is where it stops. This is where it all stops. It was a battle of millionaires versus people of wealth. And the people of wealth said, you know what? We care more about football than we do about the NBA.

The Pelicans did indeed hold firm, eventually trading him in the offseason for a massive haul (including Lonzo, Ingram, and picks), proving that waiting worked.

The Pelicans were smart to wait on the Anthony Davis trade to see the draft pick order and negotiate with the Celtics

The Pelicans did the smart thing, and they were just waiting to see who has what pick in the draft. And also, they can negotiate with the Celtics now, too. It was a smart move by the Pelicans [to] wait and see where all the picks land, see if the Celtics want to offer a better offer and not just trade Anthony Davis because he wants to be traded.

The Pelicans eventually traded Davis to the Lakers in the summer for a massive haul including Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, and three first-round picks, which was widely seen as a better return than the mid-season offers.

The Ravens are using a physical loophole to back out of the Maxx Crosby trade

I'm calling bullshit on all this. It does feel like something's fishy here. And maybe it's just the Ravens using the loophole of, hey, we can see, we can trade for Maxx Crosby, see how the rest of free agency plays out, knowing that this stupid legal tampering and then official free agency, there's a two day gap and then just figure it out later.

The trade was literally rescinded, but the 'nefarious loophole' theory is a subjective interpretation of front office tactics.

The NFL needs a 'no-backsies' rule for players who post elaborate social media goodbye videos

If you post a 13 minute goodbye video on social media like Maxx Crosby did, that should just be trade final. You can't come back on that... I actually am rooting for Maxx Crosby to be on the Raiders now because that will be so awkward and funny.

This is a humorous rule proposal, not a verifiable prediction.

The Panthers were right to overpay for Jaelan Phillips

The Panthers getting Jaelan Phillips, even though it was a lot of money, I feel like you gotta do it. Cap went up and I feel like you have to do those type of moves, especially when you are a playoff team from last year. Your defense was a problem... I'd be like, oh, Howie's interested? I'll give him more money.

The success of the Panthers' defense with Phillips will determine if the overpay was justified.
