Happy Woj day to everyone!

The fake woj that's out there is cracking me up. Getting hundreds of retweets also. I probably won't be saying this when he "breaks" some fake rockets news

 

That guys' name is perfect for that because it's obviously hard to spell.

 

You know the way it works, right?(just like in the NFL Draft)? The teams make their pick and send it to the league reps. When that happens, several people (Woj one of them) intercepts the pick and tweets it before Silver walks to the podium.

Woj isn't really scooping the teams here. Those War Rooms are pretty locked down. He just has access to info at the same time the league gets it.

Now, trade rumors flying around is a different story.

 

The real Woj period is free agency.

 

Or ESPN doesn't want to scoop Silver. That's the whole point of their show, to have Silver announce it. Why would they have someone else announce it on their show? Same happens in the NFL Draft.

What's happened is ESPN's self-imposed rule to not scoop the announcement in order to keep the ratings high for the show has created an opportunity for Yahoo to steal fans away who like to feel they are first. And Yahoo did punch into their ratings this year. And as a result, Yahoo is putting together a quality show with better analysis. I like it better for the analysis. But then again, if JVG and Barkley were still doing the ESPN draft, I'd be watching that.

I actually watched both, back and forth. Still fun to see the players, and ESPN has more of that and the first interviews. Verticle interviews of players comes much later.

 

I'd just like to say the bigger cap space won't make a difference for some teams that are looking to make profitability. They are not going to spend over a certain budget anyways.
