Seth Wickersham is a senior writer for ESPN. His latest article is "For Kraft, Brady and Belichick, Is This the Beginning of the End?"\n\n \u201cYou want to write about something real. I hate stories that are, the tension of the story is, talk radio perception versus the reality that I see when I\u2019m with somebody. I can\u2019t stand those stories because to me, you\u2019re just writing about the ether versus a real person, and that\u2019s not a real tension to me. The inner tensions are the best tensions. You can\u2019t get to them with everybody, but you try.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp and Mubi for sponsoring this week's episode.\n@SethWickersham\nWickersham on Longform\n[02:10] "For Kraft, Brady and Belichick, Is This the Beginning of the End?"
