Summary

As a young sports journalist travel was everything and doing what you had to do to get an interview was part of the thrill of the job.  But travel is done.  At least for the foreseeable future.  Interviewing players like Steve Garvey, and Jack Clark.  Or Walter Payton and Mike Ditka when the Chicago Bears were all that.  Those are fond memories.  But what does that look like going forward?  How will tomorrow's new breed of sports journalists function?  ESPN just laid off 300 people.  Things are changing.  Let's talk about that today.   Learn more about your ad choices.
