Jourdan Rodrigue just announced she joined the team. Looks like it’s $48 per year to join. So much free content out there, not sure if it’s worth the money. 

Does anyone on here subscribe? Any thoughts on it?

I DO NOT and I don't particularly see any reason to. I don't believe they provide exclusives that would warrant the subscription, based on how much access to the team is available for free.

It’s a solid rotation of long-form reporting. If you’re into that sort of thing, it’s probably worth the investment. If you’re not, then it’s not.

It’s a dying breed, folks who will actually sit down and read that brand of reporting. That’s sad. Sign of the times. The vast majority of today’s sports fans are exclusively drinking a spewing stream of sewage from a firehose on Twitter.

They would have to go out and get ppl like brett kollman and gil brandt and devote a lot of resources to expert analysis video content for me to make that plunge. Hell, even long form articles dissecting X’s and O’s would be enough. I just dont care enough to read about what cam had for dinner. I want analytics.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
