The athletic has a lot of smart informed analysts even if it can be a bit biased towards the bay. It's a good, intelligent, startup and I for one am glad shams is going there instead of dying at ESPN like woj.
The writing was on the wall on Yahoo when Verizon bought them. And then WOJ was out the door (with Bobby Marks, and the DX team). It was obvious Shams would eventually leave. Surprised Chris Mannix and Michael Lee are still there tbh.
