Deadspin

This is the kind of thing that

belongs in, like, a Barstool article or, like, I don't know, Deadspin or something like that.

This doesn't feel like something that should be sent out to only media members as a press release.

You know what I could do? I could, I could apply for media credentials for the remainder of the races.

All right.

Well, beyond that, in movie news, there's a story going around that... [laughs] And I don't know, I'm, I'm, kinda get frustrated with a lot of news outlets, and, and I'm not talking about the, uh, Deadspin and, you know, Hollywood Reporter and those type things, but just kind of that tier below it, that use words like official.

We've talked about this, uh, an awful lot, but here there are saying that the, their two Star Wars movies are officially moving forward.

And in this case, we're talking about the new Jedi Order movie, so the new Rey movie, and then Dave Filoni's movie.

And we will promote some of your recent work for CNN, and also maybe we can talk about that career change, which I think we kind of previewed in a sense one time you were on this podcast at the end of 2024, when you and Lindsay Adler were on and talked about being at a career crossroads and your relationships to baseball writing.

And we may have touched on the fact that you have been more of a sports generalist in the past at Deadspin or elsewhere, and then you've been a baseball specialist, and now you have gone back to being a mainstream generalist again, and you're still covering baseball, but you're covering lots of stuff now.

Are you, uh...

You're covering the US Open, in fact.

In 2019, Megan resigned as editor-in-chief of the sports site Deadspin after it was bought by a private equity company.

She says the private equity firm made some big mistakes.

She wrote a book about her experience and what she sees as the broader problems with private equity.
