I’m not a fan of the typical extremism that accompanies columns.
Opinion pieces in typical media settings are pretty polarizing. Plenty of hot takes. Capitalizing on the hot-button issues of the team’s fans.
It’s especially hard to avoid that style of writing in the blog space, where clubhouse access isn’t available and player interviews aren’t an option.
I feel like this season has evoked a lot of column-esque work from me, and I don’t want to sound like a broken record. I’ve been a pretty even-keeled fan in the past, in terms of trusting the organizational depth and waiting for performances to level out.
