 Every
day, a lot of sportswriters, talking heads, and sports media
“professionals” say a lot of stuff. Mostly, it’s crap. As if the
seventy-second column on your team’s free agency prospects is really
going to tell you something new. What you need is a quick-fix look at
the day’s sports media, and you need it annotated, opinionated, and
funny as hell. Your TPS reports have suffered long enough.
That’s what the Daily Digest is here for. Matt Gaventa provides
your one-stop destination for the day-to-day ramblings of the sports
media universe. What are we obsessing with? What’s getting left behind?
What small country did ESPN buy today? This is the news you need about
the media you use, Monday through Friday and always on guard.

Have
some pity for golf writers. As good as Tiger Woods has been for the

If
you’re in the market to land a major sports business contract – and
we’re talking business-to-business stuff here, not some petty little shoe contract
– then step up to the plate. Let’s go. Time’s a-wastin’ – this stuff is
flying off the shelves, and, at prices like these, you can’t afford not to buy. There’s only one question: is there anything left for sale?

Nothing
quite so Shakespearean today as the Epstein fiasco in Boston, which,
unfortunately (at least by SMW standards) seems to have ground to an
indecisive halt. At yesterday’s press conference, you could hear Bob Ryan fishing for more answers; his eventual frustration spills out into today’s column,

Implications from the Epstein departure
are significant enough to warrant our full attention today (apologies
