I know this is a different sports, but the baseball version of what they cover is an absolute joke. They barely did coverage of any district tournament. The only thing they covered is Soccer or bowling lol.

Covered wagons, flintlocks, VHS, and newspapers................things that were once useful in the U.S. that we don't need anymore.

It’s amazing that old school could get all the box scores and articles in on Friday night and be printed in the paper for Saturday. And it is nice to grab a paper and go to breakfast at the local liars table to have some real conversation with real people. Rather than just looking at a screen and texting our thoughts.

People rarely "interact" with each other on a personal level anymore. Tech has provided us with instant knowledge that was either time and labor intensive to obtain, or impossible...now you speak it, and it's there. The price that we're paying for that luxury is great, because human bonds that were formed by just talking with strangers aren't "necessary" any longer.Meeting Intense, Butchie, Duckman, yourself, and others were the result of technology, but even for all the good natured banter on here, just a few brief conversations held face to face pales hours of typing and reading by comparison.

   You brought out a very interesting point BigEd...it must have been difficult to obtain scores and details of games in years gone by (before the advent of social media), yet it was done and in the Saturday edition. How much trouble could it be to include now that obtaining that same information is so easy? Maybe I'm just archaic in my thinking, but the old way seems much better to me...I'd gladly give up the ability to instantly gain information for the necessity of everyone communicating more, and the incidental result...meeting like minded people and acquiring new friends.

   Even though it's good to touch base once in a while on here, I'm looking forward to talking with you and some of the others soon! Best to you and yours until we MEET again...friend.

Same to you brother. We will cross paths soon and looking forward to it. Tell the boys on the Hill to stand strong and represent their community in a mighty way.

I also believe they do not have as big of a staff as they did years ago. Not sure if true or not, but that's what I have heard.

They don’t. Everyone has left to a bigger role elsewhere
