    Hermes, me either.
    I read Stark when I was a kid and he seems to have an ebullient personality that belies that age.

    I have it on good authority that The Athletic is coming to Denver. No surprise. I hinted at this weeks ago. Somewhat big names, Denver-wise, joining the ranks. Though Plaige not in the group I've heard.

    David Migoya had a tweet about this today, naming names who were bolting the Post for The Athletic. Don't remember them, but they seemed to be monster hires.

    Post Broncos Writer Joins Site She Saw as Trying to Destroy Newspapers

    Nicki Jhabvala on Oct. 23: "Failing to see why The Athletic needs to destroy us in order to be successful."

    Nicki Jhabvala on March 26: "It's true. I'm so grateful for my time at the @denverpost and for the opportunity to work...with so many talented and amazing journalists. And I'm incredibly excited for my next journey, covering the Broncos for @TheAthleticHQ."

    Nick Kosmider was also on the Broncos beat for the Post, leaving it high and dry. Groke was on the Rockies beat, leaving only Patrick Saunders.

    Pardon the dumb branding question, but what's the section referred to as "ink" ?

    What does that mean ?

    "Features, longform and commentary," they say. A backhanded compliment to newspapers?

    The headline seems kind of misleading. Her tweet was pretty clearly in response to someone from the Athletic saying that was the goal. It wasn’t as though she out of nowhere started attacking the company, and it wasn’t as though she was interpreting their actions to arrive at her conclusion—it was what somewhat from the company said.

    The frat bro who said that, I don't think you've seen or heard a peep from him publicly since then.

    Seattle (active) and Tampa Bay (April 2) are getting sites, too.
