    I'm just a high plains guy, but curses to AP for always omitting Fall River from the NBA and NHL standings.

    Lived in Boston for 33 years. Never set foot in Fall River. Could find it thanks only to Mapquest.

    News-siders are totally ignorant about sports. I can't imagine them editing sports copy and knowing details that dedicated sports copy editors would know.

    No, not all news-siders are ignorant about sports; some of the best news-side people I've worked with have come from sports desks.

    There was a book about the high school boys basketball team at Fall River that was supposed to be the basketball equivalent of Friday Night Lights. Didn't read it all, but got the impression it's pretty working-class to working poor up there.

    You'd be sick too living in Fall River.

    yeah, i don't know this david scott guy but to actually think that because you used to be a sport copy editor you'd change "lemnios" or a variation to "chelios" is assinine.

    I am serious. Have you ever heard of Spokane or Merced or countless other cities in the West that are large? Take your east coast snarkiness and shove it.

    I agree with happygirl, I once had a news-sider help me edit Saturday morning's paper with Friday night prep football stories in it. The news editor didn't have a clue about AP sports style and changed "9-yard touchdown run" to "nine-yard touchdown run." When I saw the paper the next morning I decided then and there not to accept help any longer from the news side. May news-siders rot in hell.

    Like I said, Tom: My bad. Thanks for properly rebuking me and pointing out my typing error. Got anything to add to the subject of this thread, Gatehouse?
