While press releases and headlines ballyhooing the next groundbreaking idea that is going to move the sport forward are great, results are the only thing that matter. Movie lots are made up of facades, with no real structure behind them, and while that may be cool for ten days of Olympic squash, real foundations are needed to keep our sport alive. “Going for Gold” may be a great tagline, but, in this case, it’s certainly a huge step backward.

I do know that if the Yankee brass ever do step outside their bubble and move on from Brian Cashman, they most likely will not “keep him on staff to support onboarding and transition efforts to ensure a seamless handoff, building on the strong foundation that he shaped over the past two and a half decades”. It’s unclear what purpose that would serve.

There is no “First Take” for squash ( Stephen A going at Diego Elias for quitting multiple times on court would be amazing btw!) so podcasts have been filling the void. The idea behind the Squash Podcast Network is to cross promote and increase exposure for these shows.
