Keep sports in the sports section
It seems that more and more sports articles and photos are appearing on the front page and in the news section.
The July 20 Rocky Mountain News had a 24-page sports section, and, in addition, most of the front page and all of NEWS 8 were dedicated to sports.
This seems to be occurring fairly often. Surely in this day and age, with all the things happening here and around the world, there has to be something more newsworthy to write about. Those two pages are celebrity oriented and could have been in the Spotlight or sports sections, not on the front page!

It makes me feel young again. The media is emotionally and financially raping Vick and Barry Bonds. It reminds of how they lynched Ali for refusing the military draft. I think today's media (fair and balanced) should do the same to Billie Mae Owens, Rudy, Mitt, "W" (UCMJ felon), Allard (communist-sider), "nuke'em till they glow" Tancredo, Rove, Brownback, Boehner, Cheney, Thompsons, etc.

BTW-Isn't it mostly black guys that have been saying Vick was involved?

They each deserved/desrve everything the media is dishing to them for their actions.

Thank you RU Serious and Michael: Henceforth I will seek your sagacity before I enter veracity and will take Truth's medication (the guy who thinks his Truth is under copywrite protection). For now let me post an innocuous comment to be repeated elsewhere so all will enjoy Susan's vocal:
www.ffrf.org/radio ~~~~ Click on July 21, Brian Flemming ~~~~ interview. During all my epistles I listened to the brand new song yet to be released: Its Only Natural. I have listened 500 times. I've memorized it and though the song is in the key of C Susan sang it in A flat and I articulate it in E flat on piano. As the late Phil who used to work for me said: "It will knock your socks off."
Posted by RG 22037@yahoo.com on July 29, 2007 02:38 PMI keep reading in the sports section about people getting arrested, accused to tax evasion, bike racers getting caught with drugs. Shouldn't those stories be in the crime and courts, or business sections?
Tornado stories were all over the news pages a few weeks ago. Shouldn't that have been on the weather page?
Then I saw a picture of Hillary "Dennis" Rodman Clinton. Guess the comics section was full that day....
