Bleacher Report API endpoint
Returns the stories on one Bleacher Report league or sub-hub page, newest first. `section` is required and takes a slug such as `nfl`, `nba-draft`, `formula-1` or `recruiting`. Each has a headline, article URL and publication time, plus thumbnail and blurb when present. Busy leagues return 100 or more stories, quiet ones only a few.

Returns the stories on that league or sub-hub page, newest first: full headline, canonical article URL, publication time, and (when the page provides them) a thumbnail and a short editor blurb. Busy leagues return 100 or more stories; quiet ones return only a handful (formula-1 currently returns about two). Only Bleacher Report articles are returned; partner-syndicated links are dropped.
