Any HB members subscribe to The Athletic? If so, what are your thoughts? Thinking about pulling the trigger next time they run a big sign up sale.

A buddy of mine lent me his credentials a couple of months ago. After checking it out for a few weeks, I haven't used his subscription since. I don't seek out content for professional teams or national sporting news very often, and when I do, it's mostly from other outlets (i.e. the Trib or something like that). I don't fault The Athletic for this though - it's just not really worth the cost to me personally.
Mitch Sherman is OK, but his quantity/quality of content isn't enough to have a subscription just because of him, IMHO. I also think there are a few better local reporters who have better connections. He's more of a salad to the main dish.
