Not even two weeks after Jared Porter was bounced as GM, the Mets have to deal with another sexual harassment scandal, this time involving a former manager.
Mickey Callaway, now the pitching coach for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, reportedly hassled five different female sports media reporters during his two seasons in Flushing according to published reports.

I know what you're thinking. The accusers may be coming forward a little late, considering Callaway was dumped after the 2019 season, and is plying his trade for the moment in Southern California. However, this could still result in his leaving Anaheim, and baseball altogether. Stay tuned.
Update, 2/3/21, 4:53 pm (ET): As of Tuesday afternoon, the Angels have suspended Callaway.

In the course of Monday's 108-99 win over Atlanta, Lakers star LeBron James had a showdown with some drunken hecklers. Seems he stared down one of the male fans, and the guy's wife was not having it.
Juliana Carlos, dubbed "Courtside Karen" by the press, let loose with a tirade that turned the air blue. Suffice it to say, Mrs. Carlos' whining isn't worth repeating here.
Let's just say there's something in the water in Georgia, and be done with it. James even deduced that the Carloses and their party had too much to drink......

Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has gone on record stating that NBA players should "cut the line" to get COVID-19 vaccines.
No, Kareem, it doesn't work that way. Sure, they're on the road, and they are undergoing testing on a regular basis, but cutting in front of ordinary folks waiting for their first doses? Nope. Being a star athlete does not give you those privileges. I'm assuming Kareem got his vaccine, but for the younger guys currently playing, their turn will come, probably around the playoffs.
===================================
Major League Baseball made a pitch to the Players' Association to delay the regular season, cutting the schedule to 154 games, and, for the 2nd straight season, utilize a universal designated hitter and an expanded playoff format.
The union said no. They want spring training and the regular season to start on time.
Stay tuned.
