I think it comes down to control, really. They want to dictate their own story the way THEY want, and don’t want it filtered through someone else, lest they come off in a way they don’t want/like, and don’t understand what makes something interesting or compelling.

I think it’s not going to happen with LeBron and was never really going to. His public-facing persona is so carefully crafted that he’s never going to let someone in for a full feature type story, because the risk of them revealing something not even bad, but goofy, isn’t worth the risk for him.

You gotta at least take a swing, I think, and it’s not clear who PSU is saving their powder for given that they’ve missed on most of the names in this season’s carousel.

Yes absolutely.

I don’t get why they haven’t taken a swing on Dillingham, or why none of these programs have taken that swing. Surely you can offer a better NIL situation than ASU, and Dillingham seems pretty capable of winning in the modern game.

I’m of the opinion that you should get one attempt to back into a parking spot, and if you fuck it up you have to go find a different spot and park like a normal person.

As the parent of a child who HATED having his arms swaddled as a baby this sounds incredible. He would fight with the swaddler constantly until he'd managed to wiggle at least one arm out and then would immediately settle down, so we just conceded that fight quickly.

I don’t think there’s a ceiling on mess when it comes to Lane.
