    Three times per week. I never look at it because it is a verbatim rehash of web articles. Thanks Advance.

    They're good about throwing the shit like "Life" in your driveway until you have to notify them, yet again, to quit doing it.

    If they kill off the Birmingham News (and by extension Huntsville Times) but keep the printing presses for that damn TMP rag that always ends up in my driveway on a rainy day, I will drive downtown and accrue a number of property damage citations.

    I have considered collecting them over time and depositing them at their hub door.

    Or, better, finding an attorney to challenge why this unrequested shit keeps getting thrown in our yard and they get a pass. But I don't have the money to do that. Time, yes, but not the money.

    In Mobile and the Eastern Shore years ago I believe one of the main issues of runoff pollution in several significant creeks was the plastic-wrapped papers, circulars and flyers from the MPR. I'd get cited for dumping shit in the gutter but they get a pass. Harrumph.

    Could they be referring to Reid's bodily reaction/facial expression to the Gatorade bath? Only thing I could come up with...

    I know you're right, I just think of times when I really want a print edition -- when the Bengals won the AFC last year, I called family in Cincinnati to get a copy of the Enquirer. It wasn't exactly packed with stories and analysis, but it had the big headline and a photo. I'm guessing many print subscribers in KC are already accustomed to a mediocre print product, as many are in other markets, but the day after a Super Bowl don't you have to just try a little harder?

    Not sure how KC could try harder specifically for the Super Bowl, with its product printed in Des Moines. You're just not going to scale that four-hour travel hurdle.

    Would it have been possible for the staff of The Kansas City Star to try harder or would the system have made it impossible to have something related to the final score on the front page? How many designers and copy editors does it have or all the design and editing done from a hub? Would there be drivers to deliver the papers later? How late would they get to homes?

    Totally fair, I know I'm largely speaking out of my rear end. This one just hit me differently.
