Barrows is good yes -- but for those of us who subscribe to the Sacramento Bee (yes -- some of us still read print) -- this is what greeted us at the front door this morning:
A SIX PAGE SPORTS SECTION.
Let me repeat for emphasis: A SIX PAGE SPORTS SECTION.
This -- after a weekend series featuring the Giants and Padres, preseason football from the Niners and a bunch of other NFL teams, the PGA Championship and a host of other sporting events -- including some local sports.
And in Sacramento -- it's worth: SIX PAGES.
It appears that McClatchy didn't so much as even send Barrows to the game. What appeared in the Bee this morning was a report from Daniel Brown -- who writes for the Merc if I'm not mistaken.
Then -- we got a one paragraph report on the Niner Camp and the Raider Camp.
That's it.
This is how bad it's become for print. There was a time when one Niner game merited two to three pages of coverage -- preseason or no. What we're getting now is so terribly bad that I truly wonder why I keep subscribing to this paper.
Then again -- it's the only game out there.
So -- bottom line? As good as Barrows is? Don't mean a thing when you get a SIX PAGE SPORTS SECTION.
lol, you read newspapers
