    It's a major metro out here (pushing more than 300K. What else to cover? A column and takeout on pitching in 1968 (centerpiece, with B&W art). Piece on TV money affecting conference realignment. Gamer on ordinary Major League Baseball gamer of the home team. Soccer coverage on the front was a postage-stamp fan photo refer to the coverage 16 pages inside.

    In other words, not adjusting/recognizing the situation and going with a plan that was implemented three weeks ago. Ran it by others whom I trust. All were shocked by what I described.

    Good luck getting anything breaking on the cover more than a refer on a Sunday at a metro.

    Monday through Saturday, yes, and any day at a paper the size of mine, yes.

    That's why most metros are brontosaurs. Some of us are fur-bearing critters darting here and there.

    Game was set 198 days ago. Eight hours ahead of where we were. It's not like it was a surprise.

    No Sunday section here, so I stuffed it inside because it's going to be 48 hours old by the time a lot of people read it.

    No datelines on his stories that I've seen. So I presume he's writing columns from home, and they're using Jere Longman's copy for the U.S. daily coverage.
