The Lesky Years. I wonder what DK's ultimate legacy will be say 20 years down the line.
I can't even imagine how DK's ego is handling this news today. I'm gonna take a guess and say not well
of course they doWhat I find funny are the people on Twitter who bash the people who left DK for the Athletic like they are greedy. It's no different than you or I leaving a job for another one that offers more in terms of money/career. I wonder if they sit there and curse at their co-workers under their breath if they leave for another job.
Or leaving for another job where the boss isn't a toxic shit-heel.What I find funny are the people on Twitter who bash the people who left DK for the Athletic like they are greedy.

“We will wait every local paper out and let them continuously bleed until we are the last ones standing,” Alex Mather, a co-founder of The Athletic, said in an interview in San Francisco. “We will suck them dry of their best talent at every moment. We will make business extremely difficult for them."
Probably not great PR, but he's right and it's smart business strategy.
Reminds me of when the creators of that bodega vending machine thing came out and said they wanted to put bodegas out of business.I wholly agree.
It's just weird to see someone like that come straight out and be that blunt about it and I'm sure it's going to ruffle some writers/customers the wrong way.
It's business but most will die out anyway.
Also DK Rt'd this;

Probably not a lot of Athletic subscribers, but I figured I would give it a shot, and the best thing about it are Jesse's columns. He did one on Dumo's gap control from last night with video, really awesome. Dumo is a really smart, smooth D man.

DK seems more obsessed with attacking The Athletic on twitter than he does talking about actual sports.
He's like an ex girlfriend who stalks the new girlfriend's instagram/Facebook to comment on how fat she looks in all her pictures.
