Stefan Bondy: NBA commish Adam Silver predictably went soft on Ja Morant with a 25-game ban

Published Sat, 08 Mar 2025 23:42:12 GMT

Ja Morant can count his blessings, and 70% of a splendid salary, that Adam Silver is the NBA commissioner and not David Stern.Stern, who oversaw the NBA’s rise to international prominence, dropped hammers. Silver drops plastic spoons unless they’re on Donald Sterling.To recap, Morant embarrassed the NBA, himself and especially Silver. He flashed a gun in March at a club while “in an intoxicated state,” according to the league, and then went to a meeting with Silver that supposedly demonstrated Morant’s “sincere contrition.” The commissioner added at the time, “Ja has also made it clear to me that he has learned from this incident.”Clearly, Morant doesn’t take Silver seriously. And why should he? Why should he worry about anything? His PR cleanup consisted of a short stay (emphasis on short) at a counseling facility and dancing around softball questions from ESPN’s Jalen Rose. Then Morant flashed another gun in another...

Decent: Growing up near London’s Wembley Stadium offers glimpse into what Bears could bring to Naperville

Published Sat, 08 Mar 2025 23:42:12 GMT

Speaking as someone who has twice visited Alaska but failed to see a bear in its natural habitat, I was interested to see another breed by the same name is considering a move to Naperville.Earlier this month, Chicago Bears officials met with our new mayor, Scott Wehrli, in response to a letter he sent them suggesting our city would be a much better fit for a new football stadium than their current plan to build on the site of the old Arlington International Racecourse.Since I’m obviously a bigger bear deterrent than a bucket of freshly ground cayenne peppers, I believe this is never going to happen. Like many others, I think they only listened to Naperville’s pitch because it might provide some kind of leverage with their ongoing negotiations with Arlington Heights. Besides, who doesn’t enjoy having a reason to visit our fair city?In a statement, the team said plans to build “the largest single development project in Illinois history” are at risk for th...
