Is there a mandatory missive from the CEO that all stories must start with some straining pop culture reference? It’s exhausting after awhile…and it’s ALL OVER THE WEBSITE. I just came from Lombardi’s piece and its the same construct. Let me say, IT IS OK TO HAVE A SPORTS ARTICLE THAT DOES NOT REFERENCE A MOVIE/TV SHOW/POP STAR.
