Post Sports is where I got my start. I count myself lucky that I got to learn from that staff. Idk if folks outside the industry (or the DMV) are aware, but it is like THE standard for newspaper sports journalism. It’s unfathomable to me that anyone would gut such a load-bearing institution.

that's right

cop: did he send any texts around the time of the crash? cop 2: he sent a post that reads “padding my three track album with 26 skits and interludes” cop: not bad but it ain’t going viral cop 2: posting isn’t just about going viral cop: (sighs) not this shit again
