Back by popular demand, it's the weird and mostly pointless blog we did last year about MIAA players getting taken in the NFL Draft.
As I said last year: Yes, the concept of this post is silly, and I don't care. Last year I mostly did this blog because the state of sports journalism, particularly in the Boston market (haha, Boston Market) was so effed, but a year later, there is some cause for optimism.
The Athletic just came to Boston, while Boston Sports Journal seems to be doing well...
Ed. Note: In this space I previously made a remark about The Boston Herald that I think came off the wrong way. I made a comment about the paper's financial state as a legacy journalistic entity in contrast to the new businesses that just came to town.
Essentially, I was making the point that, even as these start-ups bring promise and optimism, we still have The Herald selling in bankruptcy court, so the present state of local sports journalism is obviously mixed.
That comment was in no way a jab at The Herald's work. I have friends at the paper, share writers with their high school section, and maintain that they've had the best sports coverage in Boston since I've moved here. Heck, the late, great Bruce Lerch even got me my first job in this town.
TL;DR : I made a dumb comment, and have nothing but respect for The Herald. Anyways, onward with the rest of the blog!
A reminder of the rules for MIAA players being taken in our MIAA/NFL Draft:
