Where he ends up in Tier 2 is debatable, but I'd say after Thamel (in this case, Thamel has an inherent advantage by being at ESPN) and then either before or after Wilner.

McMurphy has a broader base of connections and does break news, Wilner has better connections in the PAC. With Wilner you have to consider the sourcing, but it's closer to the primary actors.

But McMurphy is probably 3 or 4 and everyone else shifts down
