]]> <![CDATA[The Boston Globe Used To Have A Sports Section]]> I read the newspaper whenever I get the opportunity (well, except for USA Today. That's got to be the biggest piece of shit ever). When I was in college they had a readership program where you could get newspapers for free (Des Moines Register, USA Today, New York Times, Chicago Tribune) every day, and I always grabbed a Trib.

One of the most disappointing things about being in an internship is that because I'm just living here temporarily, there's no newspaper delivered.

]]> <![CDATA[The Boston Globe Used To Have A Sports Section]]> Is May's buyout pro-rated to account for the fact he quit 5 years ago? This playoff run probably tired him out. Who knew covering the Celtics might mean working in April?

]]> <![CDATA[The Boston Globe Used To Have A Sports Section]]> I actually still enjoy the paper on Sunday morning, over breakfast.

Thing is, I usually grab Sports last, since I was on the innertubes/tv the previous night and thus already updated.

]]> <![CDATA[The Boston Globe Used To Have A Sports Section]]> Can't frame a webpage denoting your team's victory and hang in the game room either.

(Well, you could, but that's pretty sad.)

TheStarterWife

]]> <![CDATA[The Boston Globe Used To Have A Sports Section]]> I loved the Globe in college cuz they would actually print the "results" of WWF (sic) wrestling on their scoreboard page. It was very important to know whether Ivan Putski won by pin or DQ in those days.

Johnny LaRue

]]> <![CDATA[The Boston Globe Used To Have A Sports Section]]> @Burning River: I see what you did there!

You completely ignored the premise of the post that the Boston paper of record has one of the most storied sports sections in the country.

Did I spell everything right?

That headline up there says, "World Series ticket"

Can't see the dateline but it could be after the Indians blew a 3-1 lead in the playoffs last year.

]]> <![CDATA[The Boston Globe Used To Have A Sports Section]]> I'm not sure that a typical 14-year-old of any era found much use for newspaper, but the overall point is valid. The cluelessness with which these guys operate is astounding, as they hemorrhage money during a time when people crave information more than ever.
