Rave: 21st Century Scoreboard Watching

[JL21]

I miss the once-weekly posting in the sports page of every team's statistics. I'd pore over that page for a few hours every Sunday.

slightly off topic: it seems likey they used to give you more on-screen information for whoever was at bat. I thought they used to have BA, 1 for 3, etc...now they almost never have that stuff on the screen (tv).

They're too busy advertising The Best Damn Sports Show Period.

--P--

That's being saved for a different rant.

My parents, for whatever reason, subscribed to an evening paper. If I wanted to know the scores from last night's games, I had to call the newspaper's recorded line (it's been twenty-five years, but I think the number was 582-4751). Sometimes they'd forget to update the tape and other times they read off high school football scores first. The improvement in communications over the last thirty or so years is nothing short of incredible, even if I did get sick of seeing Tom Arnold and John Salley in the meantime.
