In this electronic age when consumers can instantly get scores, stories, and opinion, media sources (print or television) have to really rise above the clutter by offering the reader/viewer/sports junkie unique content.

Unfortunately, this publication did not. At least not enough of it was unique and compelling. I found myself flipping to the collectibles page and Where Are They Now page, and looking at the great photos (and they really were good). But as for the stories from each team's beat reporter? By the time they hit the newstand, they were as stale and outdated as Henny Youngman jokes.

Oh, and if I sound slightly bitter, the bastards got $60 bucks out of me on a 3 year renewal just before they went belly up. :lol:
