The PTFO was excellent. I would also recommend the Blood Empty episode from this week.
Back to Belichick, it was interesting to see employees of the previous mantle holder of sports journalism -- ESPN -- dispute all of the PTFO reporting and disputing it with no facts on their side. There's something to be said for sanewashing a business partner (ACC member school).
Before I ever read that AA piece, I knew how it was gonna go. Going specifically after the word “banned” in the report. It’s giving DC Press Corps vibes - they didn’t say the specific thing so that general thing isn’t happening.
A really good look at an interesting story. I’ve come to appreciate Pablo’s podcast in the context of a Sunday sports section. With his friends chats who bring stuff to chat about (a notes column), a feature-y thing pegged to an important event on the sports calendar and his increasingly good investigative stories (the death row, the fencer, the Bill B.) — it’s three hours a week well spent. And his commitment to deeply reporting things with accomplished correspondents is a key piece and a “must” to inspire a listen. Pablo seems deeply connected (sometimes amazingly so), a little like our guy Tyler Dunne … and that only comes to light in this way once one has reported their brains out, from the mundane to the magnificent. That’s gotta be the foundation of great reporting in this age, no matter the medium and vehicle.
OK, I’m a Harvard grad everyone who lives in Boston says oh yeah my uncle did that, and he’s an idiot. No one is impressed. Nonetheless, I’m impressed that Pablo has found his way onto the new cycle that I like. Scarborough is a self indulgence over babied ex-republican. But the fact that the sports guy got to have a seat at the table sort of interesting.
So I’ll be following up probably for years to come. And I don’t care about sports. I don’t care about football. I don’t care about this Bill Belichick. Whoever he is. Here’s what bothers me:
That every successful coach or academic or I don’t know astronaut get to choose his own support team.
Let’s say the Support team was this old Jewish account, who didn’t do a great job. OK, so you’ve been bad to us. No big deal.
Let’s say that you were a football coach and you didn’t choose the right team of young groomers to make you look like you’re all that. And they step up and you fall apart. Who cares, you’re just a dumb football coach and North Carolina it’s just another one of these damn football teams.
It’s weird to me that, and I’m not invested in this, that I hear all this stuff about all this old guy is some kind of under the hypnosis of a young woman. Well, yeah,
Old people, old fat coaches who know they have like five or 10 years of potency left, are saying, yeah please fuck me while I can. And if you like it or you act like you like it that’s adequate. What the hell is he here cause he’s gonna be dead and you know 20 years anyway.
So if he gets someone who doesn’t handle his reputation well, who cares if it’s a chick who is also here. That’s their business.
Let’s say he has some cranky firm that does a bad job and they took all his money. No one would care. That’s just how this works.
I just find myself amazed that everyone thinks this is a big sin because they’re all a bunch of old white heterosexual Christians, who are appalled that a man would let himself be betrayed by a woman.
Dear God, grow up! Old man get to do whatever the hell they want with their money, their careers and their virility. If that all works together for them well Great. My guess is if an old fucker wants to feel they’re all for the last 10 years of life that’s more important than everything else. So please get off the man’s back. Understanding, that I could care less. It’s just oddly transparently hypocritical
