Comparing the sell side and buy side to the inter-workings of the NBA and the NFL

Random ass post and I started thinking this after listening to a podcast with Adam Schefter where he said he only properly slept 1week in the whole year last year as he’s working around the clock pretty much all day everyday. Can’t you compare these insider extraordinaries like Woj, Schefter, Rapoport as bankers. You can say they are used by the people actually in the league to leak and get information out there (in finance, these will be the buy-side firms that are the clients for the investment banks so the Fund Managers or LPs at PE firms) and they use the analysts at the bank the same way NBA GM’s use the NBA and NFL insiders. Both likely have similar work hours and work come seemingly erratically in both cases. Anybody agree with me loool?
