Kevin Brown absence explained?

I still feel certain there is more to it than what is being reported. I cannot believe that Angelos was absolutely fine with Brown and then this happened and he got suspended indefinitely. Something else is going on here. Of course, what that something is probably makes Angelos look just as stupid and petty.

I think this behavior and the way he acted at the MLK day press conference are related and show a pattern.   John A seems tragically insecure and just not very bright.   

Succession was a documentary.

Unfortunately (or luckily) I just assume that most sports team owners or scumbags.

If the O’s don’t win the AL, is it better if the Rangers do?

I know one NBA owner personally.  I've known him since he was about 14 years old.  I can vouch for him not being a scumbag.  So there is that.

I’m sure there are good ones. But they’re in the minority and I’m not privy to really know who’s good from bad.

The thing is, this Angelos story isn't even about whether or not he's a scumbag. What's being reported isn't just petty or mean. It's bizarre, insane. It makes no sense on any level I can think of.

Finally a great season and it’s like Angelos is pissed they’re playing good baseball. Now the great team is going to be over shadowed by the pathetic ownership. Damn shame.

Josh Harris is one owner who comes to mind who is a genuine, decent person.

Benetti was sort of KB’s mentor I believe. Or at least helped guide KB to success

I only check X/twitter every so often but I took a look tonight.  JA is trending hard and if you read through those posts... well, it's a huge collection of profanity laced hate.  Quite brutal.  I'd love to post some of my favorite ones but I'd get banned for the language.  I hope that SOB consumes every one.

What a cute dog! I thought he lived in Louisiana did he move or is this a trip?

Think he lives in Mississippi.

I want to believe there’s more to the story than we know. The problem I have is all these fellow broadcasters coming to his defense and calling out the Orioles. I feel like if you’re going to call out another franchise’s management, you really should have your ducks in a row and know what you’re talking about. So I am somewhat inclined to believe there’s really nothing more to the story, or a lot of broadcasters are going to have a lot of apologizing to do.

I wouldn’t be shocked at all if when Brown returns to the booth that he will be instructed to act as if he just returned from vacation and make a joke about how crazy rumors start on the internet.
