The Athletic aspires to be a bit like what Sports Illustrated used to be plus daily "fluff" content (usually league/team based). They do have some excellent sportswriters. They do produce a lot of articles on a daily basis but a couple of times a month, there's a truly excellent long-form piece like SI used to have on a weekly basis.
They generally have a nice sale around Black Friday and Xmas and I've found it mostly worth the money if you like good sportswriting.
