The National (kinda, sorta) Resurrected

I didn't list one NYT Editor. Or, as they're referred to: Business II

 

nascar: gotta be ed hinton
column: selena roberts

 

Someday, there WILL be someone who tries an endeavor like The National again.

And if they make decisions based on what they think people are "getting elsewhere," it's doomed to failure.

 

Isn't ESPN.com kind of the new National?

Frank - Did Kravitz do some great work on the Avalanche in the past? Because Indy doesn't have an NHL team, obviously. Or is that just an outside-the-box hire?

 

He played hockey. I like the way he writes. Also, I think he wrote hockey for SI back in the 1980s.
