The NBA Finals are over. The Stanley Cup Final is over. For many teams, the MLB season is over. The NFL is going on hiatus from mini-camps. Sports are going into a hibernation, for the most part, and this is going to be a sort of parting goodbye until the seasons all start to rev up again in August.

Loser of the Week: Rob Manfred and everyone moving the A's from Oakland

The fans in Oakland held a reverse boycott to express their feelings about the team's quality, them potentially leaving the city for Las Vegas and how they feel about ownership. After the Raiders left Oakland for Las Vegas (because of money, always money and stadiums), the Athletics are about to pull the same move which leaves Oakland without any professional sports. The Golden State Warriors don't even play there anymore, they moved to San Francisco.

So, what did MLB commissioner Rob Manfred and the powers that be have to say about this entire situation? Only the worst stuff imaginable. Here is a collection of quotes about the whole situation, from fans, analysts and journalists.

I looked this clip up. It’s Rebecca shaming the owners with “how much more money do any of you really need?” An incredible pull by this fan. https://t.co/qx15lPbjJ2

As with the Raiders, there are people who would buy the A's and build them a palace in Oakland--without groveling for public money--if the owner would sell. Fisher won't sell. Stop blaming Oakland. Nevada is begging like few states would, and Fisher is an atrocious owner. Awful. https://t.co/jDffyGKztG

MVP of the Week: Nikola Jokić

He won a championship for a city that never had one. He openly expressed his apathy for his job. He didn't want to go to the parade because he just wanted to go home. And then an entire country dedicated a building to him. Nikola Jokić's is so effortlessly great at basketball and being an icon, we have to stan. Do people still say that word?

Golf is also cool, sometimes.

There were no 62s shot at the U.S. Open for 127 years.

There have been 2 completed today in a 22-minute span.
