# Injury reports that carry analyst commentary

**Use case:** 

Injury reports across the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL, kept only where ESPN printed an analyst comment, which is the part that says what the injury actually means for the next game. One row per report: the player, the team, the position, the designation, the date it was reported, and both the short and the long comment. Rows without a comment are filtered out rather than returned empty.

## Input

```json
{
  "leagues": [
    "nfl",
    "nba",
    "mlb",
    "nhl"
  ],
  "maxInjuries": 200,

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.
