    Speaking of ESPN, what is Marc Stein''s reputation as a journalist like around the league? I only know him from internet posts on Man City games. (he's a huge fan like me.)

    They must be offering Woj some good money. I just get scared of these things. Woj is the ultimate insider and I don't want that to be compromised over some money. I would like my Woj bombs how I always get them, don't wanna see ESPN try to make you pay for it

    The same ESPN platform that crashed at the start of the season? Yahoo's has been great. Never had any issues.

    Yep that same one. The interface is just better. And the article writers are a lot better when it comes to fantasy sports.

    Pay for what though? Woj bombs? The whole point of those are being first. We're talking a matter of minutes, sometimes seconds. Twitter will always be the main platform. Ain't nobody got time for links.

    I like that team he put together too so I don't know why he is leaving. I watched the yahoo teams draft coverage over ESPN.

    $$$$$

    I wonder if he's taking anyone with him. Shams has been quietly scooping Woj on a lot of stuff, but maybe that's by design as Woj has more on his plate nowadays.

    Word on the street is that he was going to call his new platform "The Horizontal" but decided that "The Bent Over" is more fitting.

    Joking aside, hopefully it's a good move for him.

    Today I saw an INSIDER ARTICLE titled "10 trades I'd like to see" by Kevin Pelton.

    Why the fuck is that an insider article?

    I could give 30 trade ideas I'd love to see that are just as plausible as his in about 5 fucking minutes. Why would I pay for that....
