Jake Burger keeps on slugging like an all-star/elite hitter. No signs of slowing down. His story deserves its own 30 for 30, and it’s one of the few positives you can still take away from this Sox team. So happy for him.

Blackhawk Down
TgecAthletic...owned by tge New York Times just announced they are laying off 20 reporters (about 4%of their journalist wriers) and involving a new direction in their sports coverage...Instead of their former mission to cover every pro sports team in detail(heavens hey even put 2 beat writers to cover the Blackhawks...Mark Lazerus and Scott Powers)...they will now be widening g to scope of i Teresa to cover other sports that will appeal to wider readership interests and so will be re-assignong some of their retained staff of writers to other cities and wider regional coverage..
While they have succeeded in garnering g millions of subscriptions the travel costs for the reporters coving teams is beyond expensive and in a "bottom line" decision the reductions in staff and the moving sinecstaff to other beats in different cities and in widening coverage to more regional sports coverage this new focus and the changes this new direction involves may perhaps affect their Hawks coverage.. I do not know ..we will learn more soon..
Coukd it be just Laz or just Powers on the Blackhawks beat? With one of them re-assigned to another city or region or different sports?
On the one hand Laz mirrors the New York Times in his lefty wokeist views which seem to take up half his articles anyway..so maybe he is kept in Chicago to do more of the same shtick and nonsense?
Maybe Powes gets re-assigned?
Or maybe tgey give Laz tge opportunity to get out of Chicago to back home to his beloved New York teams to cover one of them..or make hom chief political qritervon all Sports?
Who knows? You will been to stay tuned...butit appears big changes coming at The Athletic and either Laz or Powers or both could get caught in the undertow of the new direction and assignments they are instituting .
Of only 1 stays then I hope it is Powers...cannot stand Lazerus (who has insisted he is not a Hawks fan anyway Nd who only seems to champion his own views on an issue and not respect alternative views...quite arrogant to my taste.. I prefer a more balanced reporter on highly conventional issues.
But it us not about my preference...if 1 of them gets re-assigned to a different neat..that is the decision of the NY Times ownership and the chief editor they put in place to run the Athelic overall.
As long as they keep Cory Pronman coveri g the draft prospects for tge NHL Entry Draft each year,thatis a valued contribution to what they offer readers...as for coverage of the Hawks,they can probably find cheaper alternatives than Laz and Powers ..I mean we shall not even need coverGevof Bedard...we can see for ourselves...nothing really to add.. and since neither Laz or Powers is too critical of stinky#1(S.Jones) or Barfy #2(Connor Murphy)..Hawks will continue to emit a stench in the d-zone ...which is again self-evient and we do not need the pretension of Laz or Powrrs to remind us of the obvious.
In any case if the coming changes give us the last of Laz and Powers or even just 1 of them on the Hawks' beat,it is nit the end of the world .. I am sure you prefer seeing Connor Bedard park some pucks behind opposing goalies rather than read redundant articles about it..
I am sure you would love a hit piece on the crappy d-zone "contributions by S.Jones and Connor Murphy instead..
BUT alas , their crappy play in the d-zone is goibg to be self-evident and so fans will be in a stae of doom anyway..it is not goibg to take a Pulitzer prize writer to expose the flaws of this team.

Good for Denver.
So, the Avs last year and the Nuggets this year. Any takers on the Rockies or Broncos in 2024? Bueller?

Interesting tidbit, with the Raptors, Lakers, Bucks, Warriors, and now Nuggets winning in the past five seasons, that's the first time that five different teams have won in a five-year stretch since the Blazers, Bullets, Sonics, Lakers, and Celtics won from '77-'81.
