This is what leads to the "blame the media" mentality:  there's a distinction between guys like Les who spend decades in the Philly sports scene, cultivating sources, earning respect and learning what sports journalism in Philadelphia is all about vs. a random guy with an opinion and a working internet connection.   

I'm not saying the legacy guys always get it right - no one does or can - but they have contacts and context and know the rules.  But these days, they're lumped in with the previously mentioned "hot take" podcasters and essentially commoditized.  It's a shame.  But yeah, they're going the way of the horse and buggy.  

Still lots of horse and buggy’s out here in Lancaster county lol

Enjoyed reading his work. Les is an Icon. 

People now get news from Twitter and Tick Tock. Idiocracy is real.

Terrible reporter, but forever a hero in my heart for knocking out that clown Jeff McLane.
