    I grew up on the LAT and would devour it every day. Their 1984 Olympics coverage was just incredible. Those were the days.

    For sure, I grew up on the murderers-row AJC (Kindred, Mort, et al). Then USA Today came with that unique (for the time) layout and it...

  10. playthrough liked HanSenSE's post in the thread Sports Radio running thread.

    I have to think hockey must be the hardest sport to do on radio, with the constant action and having to stay on top of the line changes.

    The show declined when it basically used more in-house ESPN reporters as a way of, well, giving them something more to do, I tended to feel.
