Many people ask us why we don't have a slew of talking heads and reams of takes on minor league sports.
We follow an old adage that the comedian Tom Lehrer imparted to me when I was a wee lad: "If you don't have anything interesting to say, the least that you can do is kindly shut up."
When we have something to say, you'll know about it.
We don't have any opinion for hire guys either. If one of our writers makes a great point about something that isn't news, we'll pull out the soap box and let them scream into the digital hills right here.
At MLN, everyone's take counts, right down to the interns. This notion that you have to have played or reported until you're a whizzened "veteran" to have something relevant to say is one of those archaic ideas with which sports news could do far less.
We also want to hear from you. You have something to get off your chest? Head into the Opinion Zone, and shout into cyberspace yourself.
