you can sum up Philadelphia's infrastructure pretty tidily by just pointing out that this person didn't throw away their BIG HOLE sign because they knew they'd need it again

That one suffers from the low-res image, I think. It's Billy Penn pitching from the top of city hall! With the rest of the team behind him! Love it.

I just realized this story is nearly two months old, so I looked it up to see if I missed a discourse on this on here and I don't think so? NFL coaches were just paying her while she also reported ON the NFL? Come on.

She was an NFL sideline reporter. Now she helps NFL coaches find their blind spots Former NFL reporter Laura Okmin has replicated her "blind spot" project with more than 10 NFL coaches, including some in this year's cycle.

My biggest takeaway from this to me is not the focus of the story, but rather that NFL coaches were paying a Fox sideline reporter for her side hustle, something she kept from her bosses and the public. Not great!
