This is a minor gear grinder, but I really dislike how they portray Friedman. That whole segment were his thoughts, he was clear about that, ‘I think’, ‘I think’, ‘I think’. But they cut to him asking “what does the union think of this” and angle him as an “insider”.
I’d rather they just do away with the “insider” all together and just be clear that these are people who study the game, know each team inside out, and look for fits/patterns/potential changes, and report on those. More analysts than insiders. And that’s totally fine! Just be that. But no, they always have to be “hearing” something. Almost completely dismissing all their hard work.
