Used in a sentence: "It's time to rebrand the sports coverage in the papers -- and time to admit that the industry has turned them in to The Sports PoPo Pages."
My favorite part of the local paper back home in little town Lebanon PA was the police log -- it was the first place most people looked (either that, or the obituaries, depending on one's age) to see if you could locate any friends or classmates or neighbors that might have been caught doing something unexpected.
I have to tell you, though, the national news coverage of Sports is turning into just that kind of experience. And I'm not talking about the *big* stuff -- sure there's an alleged murder here, and a dog fight there, and steroid abuse everywhere ... I'm talking about the *fun* stuff. For instance -- the college kid in Florida who dared to bark at a police dog -- or the other college kid in Tennessee who is facing legal issues for dancing on the roof of a car with his buddy. Those are the kinds of articles that make me feel okay about lightly enjoying the misfortunes of others.
Keep up the antics, sportsfolks. It makes me giggle!
