Didn’t see his posted.

Hope it results in a hire of a full time writer at The Athletic to cover SU sports. The little guy has been missed.

Not likely because of the purchase, may happen otherwise though.

THE RUTURN OF MATTY GUITARZ

 

[corpjet]

All the reporters who left newspapers saying they were dead… now owned by a newspaper

This is going to be interesting

THE RUTURN OF MATTY GUITARZ

5’2” of fury!

I'm a subscriber but I waited for memberships to go on sale. Full price, it's probably not worth it to me but I like the longform stories and the random interviews with teammates of a guy (like Dirk Nowitzki) and just reading the crazy stories.

I’m a Times subscriber.

Does this mean I’m now an Athletic supporter?

Now that cracked me up.

I wonder if it will be a different sub like the crossword? That annoys me more than it should...

Here's a little tip, go ahead and cancel the service and it will ask you if you want to stay for $19.95 for the next year, make sure your not paying the full $69.95 or whatever it us.

$19.95 is well worth the content they provide.

Yup, exactly what I did. $20 seems like a steal, whereas $70 seems like highway robbery. I wonder where my pricing equilibrium point is . . .

This is akin to using the AP. While the NYT hasn't had a dedicated sports desk for years, this is just salt in the wound.

It must be a thing...

Just another thing millennials killed!

Wow at a 3 PM deadline. That's absurd. What's the point of buying a newspaper anymore? When I worked for one of the major papers in NYC, there were multiple editions overnight alone.

I don't know why they'd bother with a print edition and just have an e-edition under those conditions.

I’m cool with 4-5 interesting articles per day, a la the WSJ sports section but with a little more beef.
