Minor league sports coverage these days is pathetic. The local paper in my market hasn’t covered a road baseball or hockey game since pre-pandemic. And the teams’ website writeups leave a lot to be desired.

Lmao. Brilliant.

I thought the Netflix doc was pretty good. My biggest issue was how much airtime they gave the scammer. I get that it was important to hear her talk and sort of explain her motives, but that is all I needed to hear. She spoke to the camera as much or more than Manti, it felt like.
