Commentary: Dan Wilson hire complicates decision on Dipoto?s future with Mariners
If ownership decided to get rid of Dipoto, they?d be left with a dilemma: Either fire their popular, respected, and venerated brand new full-time manager, Dan Wilson, also. Or, even crazier, make it a stipulation for any new president or general manager to keep Wilson as their skipper.

Commentary: M?s ownership must make ALL resources available ($$$) to help team at trade deadline

Commentary: Time for Chambers Bay to sever one-sided ?partnership? with USGA
The U.S. Open now has venue sites solidified through 2043 and U.S. Women's Open sites through 2036. The lack of love from the USGA after the renovation of greens at Chambers Bay is disappointing to say the least.

Commentary: Caitlin Clark Olympic snub is short-sighted, reflects poorly on USA Basketball
She might not be the best basketball player in the world, but there's no reason Clark should be left off this year's Olympic team, given what she's done for the sport, and the history of former top draft picks who have made the Olympic roster their rookie seasons.

Commentary: Lack of accountability in Tybo Rogers case is disturbing, disappointing
To me, it feels like a disservice to the alleged victims who went through proper channels to report what happened. And the way this was handled doesn?t exactly send the best message to any future victims either.

Commentary: Mariners ownership must listen to its own players and fanbase, and open checkbook to win
It’s far past time for ownership to issue a blank check, at the very least to show its commitment to winning. A significant financial commitment isn’t necessarily a guarantee for success, but it certainly doesn’t hurt.
