The top 10 neighbors for Chris Long are dominated by sports journalists and media outlets, not fellow athletes — a cross-kind pattern that defines the shape of this audience. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; a score near 0.88 means the overlap is tight.
The cluster spans a narrow band from 0.8788 down to 0.8509, with no single neighbor pulling away from the rest. Gritty (0.88) and Deadspin (0.88) sit at the top, followed closely by four journalists: Albert Breer (0.87), John Buccigross (0.86), Peter King (0.86), and Jayson Stark (0.86). Two sports-media websites — The MMQB (0.87) and Onion Sports Network (0.85) — round out the media-heavy core. Paul Bissonnette (0.85) is the only other athlete in the top 10; Katie Nolan (0.85), a TV personality, closes the set.
Journalists account for four of the ten neighbors, and when combined with the two websites and the magazine (Deadspin), media entities make up seven of ten. The audience here looks far more like the readership of beat reporters and sports commentary outlets than like the following of other NFL players.
This shape suggests an audience that engages with sports through analysis and commentary as much as through fandom of any particular team or player.
