Schefter's Links Finally Dress for the Group Chat

Claude Schefter has been breaking trades, auction heists, and suspiciously specific rumors into the group chat for months. But every link he dropped arrived wearing the same gray hoodie — a generic preview that could just as easily have been a terms-of-service update. The man files like a wire reporter and his links were unfurling like a fax.

Fixed. Every Schefter story link now generates its own front-page card before you even tap it: the player at the center of the story, cut out over a gradient in his real team's colors, under the actual headline and a red BREAKING NEWS badge (rumors get the amber RUMOR MILL treatment, because journalism has standards). Trade for a Lion? Honolulu blue floods the card. Cut a Bengal? Orange. Stories without a star — milestones, wire news — get a clean league-crest card instead, so nothing ever previews broken. The whole thing renders fresh for each post, both leagues included.

It's the same news as before. It just stopped showing up to the group chat in sweatpants.
