I will say this—We still have good people. We're still going to do good work, and give you reason to read, watch and listen.
I read obits for SI in 2019, and again two years ago, and I'm proud of the work we've done since.
When I was a kid, all I wanted to do was write cover stories for Sports Illustrated. I loved every day I got to do that — for more than 12 years. I’m part of the layoffs today. Now I’m standing on the side of the highway, holding a cardboard sign. It says: WILL WRITE FOR FOOD
