Very good article about Ray Ferraro over at Defector today, primarily about how he handles being a member of the media while married to a AGM but it had one quote I think people should see:
https://defector.com/ray-ferraros-been-enjoying-his-need-to-know-marriage/
I guarantee that 90% of the media people who get accused of "bias" feel basically the same way.

Saw it yesterday and was kind of disappointed because I kind of wanted to hear him talk about the big win. He's such a huge fan of the Leafs. Anyway I hope he's ok and getting whatever help is needed and that he'll be back at some point. I enjoy listening to the show.herman said:

The Athletic, the sports news outlet owned by The New York Times, laid off nearly 4 percent of its newsroom on Monday.
David Perpich, the publisher of The Athletic, and Steven Ginsberg, its executive editor, announced ?a significant reorganization? of the newsroom in a note to the staff. They said the publication was shifting away from having one beat reporter per sports team to broader coverage ?telling the most compelling stories for fans across the teams in a given league, drawing on both local and national reporting expertise.?
Nearly 20 people will be laid off as part of the reorganization, while more than 20 reporters will be moved to new assignments, they said.

I was very much 50/50 on renewing my annual subscription a few weeks back, but they gave me a less than half price offer so I ended up doing so.
Of the teams I follow, the New Orleans Saints haven?t had a writer since early last season.
The Leafs have plenty of coverage but it?s almost gone too much quantity over quality. I always liked Mirtle and he barely seems to write now.
The main Newcastle United writer was very good, but he?s gone off elsewhere and the new guy isn?t as great (yet, anyway) which is most annoying cos it was probably that coverage that just about tipped me into renewing.
But, if they?re relying on massive reductions to encourage subscribers to return it?s no real surprise I guess that they?re having to lay people off?
