    A collection of Medill Journalism folk came up with this program that turns a box score into a game story and is trying to sell it to newspapers, other media, etc. It's not often you see J-school teachers/students trying to make their business obsolete, and dumb it down further. I'm sure they think they're on the cusp of something game-changing.
