Olympic Coverage

Completely depends on where you are in regards to running preseason football on your cover. You're in Montana? Of course not. At the Washington Post if you move the Redskins and RGIII's debut off the cover in favor of a feature on Olympic BMX racing? You're insane. People want football. They eat it up. And most writers don't write "gamers" off preseason games. You know what's important going in. How does the rookie quarterback look? Who's winning the position battle on the defensive line? Of course who wins and loses doesn't matter.

 

That's my point. AP doesn't do a real good job with that.

If I worked in an NFL city (hope I don't), then, sure I would play things differently. I've always try to give every sport its due (even ones I may not personally like). I've worked with others who were sort of one or two-sport people and didn't care about anything else.

 

But if you're saying you'd NEVER run NFL exhibition games on your cover, are you giving them their due?
