I feel bad for this thread but it's tremendous content.

(it sucks, it's nauseating, and I feel like my journalism profs from college would hate Schefter's form of breaking news as PR)

There's a huge list of useful stooges for the NFL in general and agents in specific, but Schefter has to be on top of that list

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

Schefter was probably literally just copying and pasting from the agent which is all kinds of bad and even way worse lol

This upcoming year might still suck, but the new rights deal starts in 2023 and ESPN is supposed to get much better games, along with a few Super Bowls airing on ABC.

i will duel you IRL over this you bitch come and get it

EDIT: On a serious level, part of the work I did for one company as a sports information researcher was writing documents about teams, games, and player evaluations, and they wanted language to be as concise as possible. So, seeing stuff like that lede after years of writing the way I got paid (partially) to do makes me reflexively recoil.

meet me in temecula, it's an area not far out of Los Angeles I've heard, a place where you go to on Christmas Day to resolve your differences in an ad-hoc thunder-dome, a place where you're probably too scared to meet me, but not me, I will fly there, or drive there, or take one if those single-pump hand carts on the railroad to temecula, the whole time singing about how you can't beat me in combat or Tecmo super bowl, or in three card monte, and actually it is you who should be scared because wherever you are is now Temecula, to me.

Part of the reason I want the Nuggets to win a ring is that it'll be perfect for a Jon Bois thing on Jokic which I'm guessing is inevitable.

Akiva Cohen has a fantastic ongoing thread breaking down Bauer's defamation suit.

TL;DR: His already extremely-difficult-to-prove case is all the tougher because he specifically names Molly Knight, which means he has to sue in California (Molly lives in LA), which has incredibly strong anti-SLAPP laws.

If you ever want to read thorough breakdowns of bad lawsuits, Cohen is one of the best there is.
