Here's a terrific account of the end of the Jimmy Lake era at Montlake. Very well written. And rather sad imo. BTW if you don't have a subscription to The Athletic, you should get one...
The Athletic is going to end up like The National, many of you who are not young(like me) will remember. The National, a national weekly sports-only, newspaper style publication, came in with a bang, top writers, big names associated in the early 90's. It ran out of money in less than a year, despite its prevalence.
The Athletic is losing money hand over fist, its burn rate is not sustainable. They've already de-emphasized many areas of the country, many teams, that were part of the package in the beginning.

Well, we'd have to if we wanted to read the article. Which does look interesting.
