AGM NEWS ROUNDUP!!

8
Vote

by user The Widening Geier

So I figure that we have a large representative population from the US, and all of us read our local newspapers. So here is my theory:

Why not create a daily/weekly post where we link to our local newspapers, with the quality sports articles? I can drop the NY Daily News and Post, I am sure Manny can get the Sun Times, CPCP the Cleveland Plain Dealer...etc. What do you guys think.

  • The Widening Geier- NY Daily News, NY Post
  • BleedingGreen - Asbury Park Press (NY & Philly news), Burlington County Times
  • Alex Holowczak - Express & Star (Sandwell, England)
  • Manny Stiles - various sources including Arizona Republic


Add on with what you are willing to link to

What the hell is the Sun times?

I'm more of an OUT magazine kinda guy...

If someone creates a daily page and we all edit/shove links in, that would work, eh? nly thing is, many sites require a registration of sorts..

Sorry, i must have confused Chicago with phoenix, then integrated phoenix suns, and came up with that. but yeah, that should work. I figured the non registration sites would still give a pretty broad palate.

I'm all for it! Arizona Republic and East Valley Tribune both have pretty good sports sections for such a cruddy sports town. I read alot of other news sites ranging from Bozeman (MT) Chronicle to the Pottstown (PA) Mercury, so any truly interesting articles I find, I'll gladly contribute since I've severely slacked on my WTMF news blog. Let's agree on a format/location.

I would be for this, but the Columbus Dispatch generally sucks so I can't be of help.

I think that my local paper may throw you all somewhat! There would be a lot of horse racing in it...

Horse racing is such a boring sport unless you bet on it. Even then, you need to have had years' experience of it in order to not be throwing money down the pan.

I just like seeing muscle-rippling, crazily-inbred, druged up freekhorses running as fast as they can! Awesome to see in person.

The New York Post is a complete joke, don't use that paper.

Hey Alex, please go easy on Barry Bonds. There is already a must-see site calling for all real fans to boycott his every plate appearance. Check it at www.BoycottBarry.com
