Yankee killer? The argument could be made that the hiring of Spira was the beginning of the creation of the new Yankee dynasty.

Your point is an argument Deadspin makes.

That is something to which Grantland should aspire to equal. Quality long read.

When the whole Grantland/Tommy Craggs fiasco went down, the thought in my mind was Luke O'Brien would have been such a better fit for Grantland in the first place. Craggs is brilliant, but I think he would grow restless under the WWL umbrella at this point. O'Brien is just a fantastic writer without all the sound and fury.
