    I hope this can be done without outing people but just want to try to find out how your paper, the one you work or worked for or read, played and staffed Super Bowl LVII.

    Los Angeles Times had a game story and column on the cover of its sports section, a notebook on page six, and sidebar on page seven. Section was eight pages.

    The Times had Bill Plaschke, their national NFL reporter Sam Farmer, and their Chargers and Rams beat writers, Jeff Miller and Gary Klein at the game.

    Only thing written in the Miami Herald's six-page sports section was a notebook on its second page.

    Don't know what Miami's deadline is, but by the time I left none of the other 28 McClatchy papers had a deadline later than 10 p.m. ET.

    KC used to hold for Chiefs Super Bowl games. Not anymore. Can't even run Mahomes in the right colored jersey.

    Miami's deadline is 9:30.
    We had a clo, and our cover story on Fangio was a combination of what we obtained in Arizona as well as info in South Florida.
    The notebook as well.
    Our writer filed the Super Bowl story online after the game.
    For today, Cote is writing a column and we have a folo.

    I would guess K.C. was using that header throughout the week.

    If you can't hold for a Super Bowl and what might be a keepsake edition, just kill the print product already.

    What does twist and shout mean?

    Game was over at about 8:15 a.m. in Guragon, India, where these shit papers are put together. :)
    Based on their deck heads, they're REALLY playing up a twisted ankle angle, perhaps?

    Possible. Although it looks suspiciously like what Fort Worth used when it didn't have the TCU-Georgia game.

    In 13 more days, my last paper is taking your advice.

    Wouldn't The Kansas City Star take a big hit financially if it killed the print product?

    I don't know the specifics for Kansas City but what I've heard is that still, the No. 1 revenue source for most newspapers is print advertising. There would be some increase in advertising revenue if the print edition were no longer an option, some increase in subscription revenue and cost savings in printing and distribution but those would not make up for the losses in advertising and subscription revenues.

    Please let me know if I'm wrong.

    I realize this could all change in relatively few years.
