from Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic,

In an era where the industry is so focused on click-baiting items, lists and videos, I wholeheartedly embrace that The Athletic is willing to gamble on the fact there are sports fans that still desire a deeper dive into the issues, players and teams they are so passionate about. The written word is not dead. It’s been given new life here.

Join us for the ride, folks — it’s going to be something else.
