David Lombardi writes for The Athletic. His twitter bio says he's their 49ers writer.

For those who don't know, Lombardi is a Stanford grad who covered Stanford football at ESPN (I thought he was the single best source of coverage for Stanford Fball) but was part of that's company's layoffs a few months back.

I'm wishing that The Athletic will succeed. I just don't think that in 2017 there are enough people willing to pay $3.49-$7 per month for sportswriting, however.
