Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Oh jeez. When will the hot take bubble burst?

Nothing worse than some manufactured bullshtein debate.

to be fair they do invest enough in journalism (for now) on their digital side -- that girl i almost molested, salisbury, frank, panaccio -- the latter 2 are hacks but they are at least embedded journos.

but they are icing out a lot of their familiar names and im sure will be searching for more bayless-types to hot take away

Philly Mag stupidly killed Birds 24/7

they couldnt figure out a way to monetize page views, which is all this was contributing. they want to brand themselves as providing a service and product nobody else does...eagles coverage, no matter how good it is, is the antithesis of that.

i get it but i dont like it

Does it really matter without Kapadia/McManus? It was a shell of what it used to be.

ESPN in cancelling The Sports Reporters.  Guessing it's because they spend too much time calling out the NFL for all their hypocrisy and Rog demanded they be silenced.
