  1. Sure, a "Sports Podcast" is just what's needed to keep the "falling Star" propped up.

    If fans won't buy tickets to the games, what makes McClatchy think they'll pay for "Jockstrap Webcasts"?

    (Gonna miss having all those furniture and grocery store ads to cover the workbench with when I spray paint something though, they did have some use.)

  2. It gets worse folks:
    Every TV news station beats the Star at online news.
    They have great video, breaking news etc overnight and first in the morning.
    You think the awesomely-run Star puts a team overnight? If they do where are the stories?
    They get beat so bad they look like they don’t try. Their stories are so old they make the 1800’s look new.
    And they have old people better suited for rocking chair ads and Depends on podcasts?
    Apparently they have no idea what to do so they throw everything on the wall and see what sticks... it’s like nailing jello to the wall... it’s liking wiping before you poop... no cents at all.
    I doubt The founders are turning in their grave.... they’ve given up and gone elsewhere.

  3. ^^What an awful take. I mean awful. Only old people read the paper, so nobody really cares. Go find something to occupy your time!
