OT: column on death of box scores in newspapers

[Butch7999]

As Reilly usedta say, "Wot a revoltin' development." We're with Fred and Val on this one (except subsitute "lunch" for "breakfast").

Although even as guys with some background in the newspaper biz we can sorta kinda see the one point -- the depth of stats available
on-line far surpassing what a newspaper can provide -- we're nauseated by the egotism of Sherman and his ilk ("readers would be better served
with... my columns"). It's a happy wonder that our hilariously inept local rag hasn't yet terminated the boxes and replaced them
with still more deathless, utterly fascinating first-person accounts of their hack writers' golf games, because who can ever get tired of
reading about those?

I will be honest - I check them on-line as I really don't get newspapers anymore.

They are pulling the boxscores but leaving the stupid comics which I am 100% certain no one reads. One more reason to stop the presses.
