Michael Wolff's career arc in a nutshell:
The dominoes meme but with two elements of Michael Wolff's career arc on each end. On the small end it says "A NYT puff piece about a cheap-assed MLB team" and on the large end it says "The fall of American democracy"

In case you're wondering why ESPN BET is about to die, here's a look at The Worldwide Leader's numbers in Arizona, up against the brand it replaced (Barstool Sportsbook) & the top brands nationally (FanDuel & DraftKings)
A screenshot showing Arizona sports betting totals for two brands, on the top we have Barstool, which raked in $411,644,226 over 27 months in operation, or $15,246,083 per month, along with ESPN BET, which took in $512,945,484 worth of bets in 22 months, or $23,315,704 per month. Another comparison point showing the total bets taken in in Arizona for FanDuel and DraftKings. FanDuel has $8,860,360,670 worth of wagers over 47 months, or $188,518,313 per month. DraftKings has taken in $8,841,352,494 in wagers over 47 months, or $188,113,883 per month.

If we zoom out a bit and look at the national champions data for November from 2000-2025, the theme becomes even clearer.

(The theme is that top-tier MBB teams are a bunch of cowards)
NCAA MBB champions data for the month of November (2000-2025): Total Data: Total win-loss record in November: - 142-9 (.940) Total home games (out of 151 games): - 83 (55%) Total neutral site games (out of 151 games): - 64 (42.4%) Total road games (out of 151 games): - 4 (2.6%) Total ranked opponents: - 21 (13.9%)
