I half agree with your sentiment. My one issue is this argument is based on the idea that newspapers should exist. They made a mistake and the market forced them out as we seemingly find free news outlets across the internet, including this site.

Atlanta is moving in with the Falcons I believe.

Parents who know nothing about technology went with the S to replace their Blu Ray player. They’re ecstatic that it also “plays Netflix and Hulu”

I do love Balto

This is very valid. If you’ve ever been to Russia you know.

Yup exactly. He’s also not necessarily an on air talent that commands viewership and thus replaceable per the cost saving model.

I think the two year deal is an admittance to Arsenal not having a backup plan all these years once Wenger lost his prowess. Now, and this is definitely arguable, they’re stuck with either A. Maintain status quo until suitable plan can be established or B. Blow the entire thing up completely and risk dropping even…

Consumer will have the last laugh, unless they all just buy and sell each other. I would be fascinated if all leagues just sold a “league pass” option to see what the demos would be. NFL may still be King, but does it attract the demographic that advertisers covet? I’m not sure.

This. This. This.

As a Kentucky fan, this is embarrassing; however, it has illuminated to me that too NCAA refs make $3,000 a game and so something of around 100 games a year. That seems like quite a bit.

I did the same and found the actual quote in the article that much better. Kind of like when you have an idea what’s in your Christmas present but are surprised when it turns out better.

Louisville’s path to the Final Four is remarkably easy sans Elite 8 in Kansas City (though Kansas may not make it).

The future:

I played for a long time and always believed this was true.

Great analysis.

I struggle to get behind taxi companies whenever this debate comes up here. Their resistance to not innovate surged Ubers popularity. They’ve made great strides since then (at least in my area) but ultimately are still an inferior service. Hopefully that changes moving forward.

Gonzaga will get Duke as their 8 or 9 and lose by 12 in the second round.

Probably not the father’s decision of when the article was published.
