    I think I'll tell the parent to get on SportsJournalists.com and shoot Tom Petty a pm if she really wants an article done.

    tx must be in a different area. In one area, the officials were terrific, save one who thought he knew everything and stuck out even worse because most of the others were very good.

    They were exceptional in discussing the scenarios, judgments, interpretations ... really a solid learning ground. And they knew when I was asking them questions, it was not on record, to put them on the spot.

    I miss that place and those officials.

    Best day of the fall for me...
    City Christian A.D. calls to complain about lack of coverage for his program, which does not play football. He gets heated as I explain what we do to determine what gets covered (Football, football, football, football, football, random other thing). He accuses me of harboring prejudice for the Christian school. Now I'm heated.
    Me: Well, then why do my two children attend your lower (elementary) school?
    CCAD: Wha... why... oh... they do?
    Me: Yes, sir. Just started there in August.
    Call suddenly becomes friendly. Go figure.

    y'all laugh, but newspapers could do worse than micro-target their ads with content, like baseball telecasts do.

    OK, fine. Here's the deal. Have your paper start a wiki, to let parents fans, etc. created their own h.s. stories on the website. And then when they all start ripping each other's edits, etc., you'll get more traffic and make more money.
