A couple things about this.max having second thoughts:
I've given this more thought. I think it's a mistake to go easy on the StL reporters. I think we should demand top tier sports efforts from them.
Heck, we've got guys like the Rams Addiction doing a better job than most of those jokers who are getting paid.
I don't disagree with your demanding top tier efforts from our local reporters. Most of them aren't the pick of the litter. I just don't think you're thinking about the reality of the situation. The salaries and expenses for our local reporters are being paid by the PD. The PD can't compete against the newspapers in the much bigger markets. You can't really expect the PD to pay to send reporters to every college pro day. Even the big guys like ESPN use stuff from local reporters.
The Rams addiction, which I like very much, puts out an audio version of a day on the ROD. I've learned almost nothing new about the Rams listening to it.
