Sports insiders tell you what you are about to find out anyway or what an agent or team wants you to hear. Investigative reporters tell you things no one wants you to know and would've otherwise been buried.
Deep-dive reporting doesn’t just “move the needle.” It’s what readers crave. The work is hard. And it’s increasingly rare.
And in sports, one investigative piece has more impact than 1,000 hot takes and often can make a real difference.

@Zack_Pearson Even SOS based on Vegas lines can vary wildly. The lines are priced roughly at the median outcome but you only need a few of the specific teams on your schedule to hit the under or teams not on your schedule to hit the over for SOS to change.
Have been working through the MTV Unplugged stuff on Paramount. Lots of good artists but so many just played the acoustic set like a normal set.
Live for example, who I really like, was pretty mid.
Alice In Chains understood the assignment. That is a ridiculous set crafted specifically for an acoustic arrangement. Just badass.
President Donald Trump's executive order regulating college sports:
- College athletes can only play a maximum of 5 seasons in a 5-year window
- Maximum of one transfer before graduation, otherwise, need to sit a full season
- Schools that violate risk losing federal funding
If the Bears want to draft the next step for this team… that would be cool to see.
But commit to it.
Maximize picks, play the comp pick game, and draft well and play the young guys.
I don’t need a half ass attempt at being a draft first team.
