My latest long read: Jeff Kent is a serial conman who bilks vulnerable women out of their money. He’s the first fraudster in Canadian history to be deemed a dangerous offender and locked up indefinitely.

He’s also someone who used to regularly call me from jail

Jeff Kent is a serial conman who defrauds women. Does he deserve the harshest punishment in Canadian criminal law?
Jeff Kent is a romance fraudster who bilks women out of their life savings. An Alberta judge just deemed him a dangerous offender.

Prediction: Vladdy has a quiet series because unlike the Yankees he has no deep-seated, generational hated for the Seattle Mariners, because no one does

At what point do the announcers go from “wow what an amazing game, great pitching” to “this is just irritating now.”
