Of course. I wanted to know whether what I was seeing here and elsewhere was speculation or knowledge, because it would have been a fun sideshow for Sterling to sue and then face a motion to compel arbitration that required the constitution or bylaws to be attached as an exhibit — under seal or not. But I guess the NBA is basking in the glory of congratulation and doesn't mind letting us all peek behind the kimono.

Most shocking revelation? "(i) a letter shall be deemed to have been mailed on the date shown on the postmark appearing on the envelope, and (ii) any other Writing shall be deemed to have been sent on the date appearing thereon, provided that such date can be verified by receipt or other independent means"

No wonder they kept those fuckers secret for so long.

Re: Questlove's Perspective

As usual, Qwestlove has more to say than I can quickly digest. I'd love to have a drink or four with that guy.

You jest, but the NBA's blatant rejection of hundreds of years of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence as reflected by the Mailbox Rule is quite troubling to some of us, sir.

Agreed. He is fantastic. Although I'm not sure, given the context his essays provide about hip hop's look-at-what-I-got culture, what this ad (that I like) says about him:

As a two-time winner of our March Madness pool, I think I'm in the best position to run this thing. However, we need to move the team to a new city. Should we send Sidd to scout out Las Vegas for the team?
