Marayna Rodgers, a medical assistant from Washington state, was reported missing on December 7 after having met with Comanche and Harnden two days prior on Dec. 5. After an initial investigation, Harnden was arrested on Dec. 13 by Las Vegas police, while Comanche was apprehended on Dec. 15 by the FBI in Sacramento.

Both were initially charged with kidnapping, but those charges were later amended to open murder, per the LVMPD. The statement reads in part:

"Based on information obtained after the arrest of Harnden and Comanche, detectives were able to recover human remains in a desert area in Henderson, Nevada. The remains were later identified by the Clark County Coroner to be of Marayna Rodgers.

"Detectives determined that Harnden and Comanche were responsible for the murder of Rodgers. The charges for both individuals will be amended to open murder through coordination with the Clark County District Attorney's office."

WRT Zach LaVine I'm afraid he's overrated. He has some deep flaws that totally counteract all of his good side. His reputation says he's launching a ton of threes and making 45% of them. But he's not even close to that. In reality he's a 33% 3P shooter this year. Good 3P shooting for the 1980s but hilariously mediocre in 2024.

His career ORtg is 109 and his career DRtg is 114. DRtg being higher than ORtg is a classic telltale sign of a player who will sink many teams. Even the oft-maligned RW has a career ORtg of 108 and a DRtg of 106.

It's not surprising that his teams never win more than a few games in a row.

I've heard Black Tray and Jalen Rose (https://twitter.com/Travonne was on the pod with amin el hassan and the annoying power rankings guy forever. Dont know if it still exists. But his deal was that he was best friends with a fringe NBA player while also being a school teacher. So he would cryptically discuss these things that otherwise remain secrets. Now he's a creative and has an e-book about social media brand building so take that however you'd like)

talking about the logistics about "imports" and so on when it comes to girls and NBA players. You have a member of your crew who does logistics for them and boilerplate legal documents for consent and so forth. I don't know if you can waive child support or baby anything in that sort of venue, seems unlikely. But you could make it look that way, which is why a person would give up a chance for millions in child support for a one time small taters 100k lump sum.

Plus you get to stay in the NBA groupie world, which has lots of benefits. You can end up marrying some journeyman with a net worth of 80,000,000. Similar to actresses and models doing the yacht circuit til they get married to a hedge fund guy or movie star.


Pro athletes live in such a different world than us. I almost feel like the prevalence of player podcasts reflects it. They know deep down that they are living lives that the wealthiest kings couldn't imagine. Want to connect with normal people by talking about the troubles of day to day.

What a world we're living in

I had an early internet friend who became an instagram model and eventually went on the bachelor and then married a different millionaire, had some kids, seems pretty happy now. Legit one of the funnier/cooler people I know, glad the world opened up for her . I guess it's been like ten years since I've talked to her though.

Routinely blows my mind that these Instagram models have some internal conversation like "yes that is something I would like to do to my body, sure that looks normal and comfortable, the Jessica Rabbit Nightmare Mod yes that's for me"

I saw some girl with those kind of insane proportions last month and am here to say that what might look great lying on a towel or standing in front of a mirror holding a phone, does not look so great at the self-checkout line at Target, it made just existing in the physical world look fuckin miserable.
