Not sure what prompted me to make a folder to save your emails, but I have 182 of them since your Friday, August 11, 2017 issue titled THE JERK…and that’s not all of them.
I have not found a way to subscribe to your Substack offerings as a paid subscriber. I’ve tried unsubscribing with the intent of resubscribing, but alas, it hasn’t worked. Sigh. Will have to just continue trying to be my best self.
Thank You for including more information about Dikembe Mutombo today, even if it was a day late, and not as big as the Pete Rose story yesterday. At least it made it eventually.
Are you the same as any other media outlet on earth? No! You editorialize, you make snarky comments, you make judgement calls on what you will include, and what you won't. I would have made a different decision, no big deal. I am not unsubscribing.

I still get “a day late “?
Is there a media outlet on earth that didn’t cover the Pete rose story as bigger?
