“Sources say Richardson called an employee into his office to watch an offensive internet video that he said, quote, really turned him on.”

Draft Kings should have a daily fantasy game for which NFL executive gets accused of sexual harassment. You gotta figure Jerry Jones is somewhere around an $8,500 to $9,500.
