NBA teams have begun to utilize AI, including to scout players for this year’s draft. @JordanTeicher explores where the league is now and could be in the near future: https://t.co/85GJOAcEYu
No-tackle flag football is one way to address the many safety concerns of football. A full-contact, semi-pro league in New Jersey has another idea. https://t.co/dj1n9pBwIU
The world of NBA insiders can be a ruthless, zero-sum game. But @JakeLFischer and @TheSteinLine do things a bit differently.
I wrote about their unique approach to insider reporting for @NiemanLab.

I fell in love with reading and writing as a kid because of compelling sports books. Lately, it seems like they're hard to find. So I talked to @Herring_NBA, @SherwoodStrauss, and Michael Lewis to find out why.
20 years after 'Moneyball,' the genre has been drained of its significance—and there's an important culprit to blame.

@KeithParadise @Rbisho02 @jeffpearlman I get where you’re coming from, but I’d never lump in either of those shows with First Take. Orders of magnitude different in terms of quality and thoughtfulness.
@SprtBookReviews@jeffpearlman Would it be narrow to look at the movie biz based on the top 10 box office? Seems like a good proxy. Also publishers look for models for success, so if sports titles fade from NYTBS lists, it becomes a cycle that makes it harder for more diverse books (which I’m rooting for).
Also shoutout to @SheaSerrano for giving me some gems that ended up on the cutting room floor. Hope your next book sells at least 33,644 copies in its first week.
@jayacunzo The tomato joke has been my favorite dad joke for years. So even though you’re a better writer than this and I’m not bullish on AI writing, I may have to co-sign it.
@CourtneyBrach @nytimesbusiness Thanks, that’s a great point. And it seems like a balance works best, when the writing and ideas come directly from engineers, then the polishing can come from editors.
Tech companies laid off over 150k last year, but they all still want to hire engineers. To help with recruiting, these companies have turned to a relic of the Internet: blogging.

@Panda6@nytimesbusiness Cool. I’d say the point is not engineering blogs are brand new (I cite multiple stories that are a few years old), but that they’ve taken on more relevance given that tech companies are simultaneously laying people off and trying to woo engineers.
