Thank you for your phone call. I disagree with your opinion that we "have to" cover a series of billiards tournaments taking place at the local casino. In fact, the opposite is true. We do not have to cover those tournaments, nor will we.
I bet Little League and AAU coaches hate MM. LOLSF_Express said:MightyMouse said:Dear ma'am:

MM, I'm not saying you're wrong in the billiards deal, but you don't cover those, you don't like bowling scores -- I hope you don't work for a little paper in a small town.

Yeah, that actually sounds like something that would be fun to cover. You could get good art and it would make for an interesting front-page feature.
But that doesn't fit well on the marqueeEmbassyRow said:Dear Local Radio Host,
I was puzzled by your on-air claim today that "There isn't anybody more committed to high school sports than" your station.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't the other radio station in town called games in twice as many sports as your station this winter? Furthermore, hasn't the local paper covered games in ... well, all of them?
How about you stick to what you do best — giving the Fellowship of the Miserable an outlet to vent in public about everything those pesky dagnabbit politicians and young people are doing?

A 300 game / hole-in-one is a brief, unless there is a twist to the story.
