Sports Media is filled with an endless stream of personalities, stories, and gossip, and I'm here to cover it all.

I'm John Arran, Puck's Sports Correspondent, and I've been covering the media business for right around 30 years. I have a new

podcast called The Varsity where I will take you inside the executive suites and

owners boxes that run the entire sports business. Twice a week, I will bring on the smartest people I know

But in their violent attempt on a March Sunday to end a movement to make an American promise real,

they would only fuel the fires of progress.

Out of evil came good, out of darkness, light, out of anguish, justice.
