    I find much of the stuff I've already read the night before (of course I'm up late, so maybe this product isn't for me). I'll look at the profile fluff piece if the person interests me, but I find I'm done with it in under 5 minutes.

    I'm with chicagoguy on this -- I'm blown away and have read it every day since I discovered this a few weeks ago ... yes, there are mistakes but to me they only kill the deal if you're a bad publication to begin with - I'll trade occasional miscues for a nice, clean, crisp, all-encompassing package of stories and notes ...

    imagine if you could hitch some local content to this -- wow... sportingnewstoday.com/phoenix or something like that with a locally produced "B" section tailored to your communities ... frankly this has me dreaming of getting off my sinking ship and figuring out a way to produce something similar in my neck of the woods ...

    Craig Custance was at The AJC, covering the Atlanta Thrashers. He's a Michigander, knows his pucks, writes beautifully and works and works and works. His piece for SNT on Red Wings madness in Michigan was the best thing I've read in that publication (and I'm an SNT fan).

    If you're seeing less than one "boo boo" per issue, you're not looking hard enough.

    That being said, the "boo boos" don't keep me from reading it every day.
