Beerows vs. Maiocco

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

lol, you're killing newspapers. You think this stuff is going to continue "free" for into infinity and beyond?

You get what you pay for.

I still don't understand how Barrows could say Dixon looked slow on the radio. Dixon looked to be patient, not slow, and had a nice burst whenever needed.

The internet is to blame for that, papers are having to cut costs to compete. The days of printed press are numbered...

Yes -- but what kids fail to realize is: so are the days of the printed word on the web. You can't continue to expect to get something for free. It's a simple thing really. It's called "fee for service." We pay the fee -- in return -- we receive a service.

What's really whacked is that most people have no problem shelling out fifty bucks a month for high speed internet access -- but balk at a ten dollar per month subscription for a newspaper -- which is something they read every single day.

I like them both. They do a good job. I like Maiocco a little better.

Now just because we're friends on Facebook has nothing to do with it. He has a million friends.

I've seen Maiocco been made fun on in here because he gets so much info from the organization, but it seems like Beerows is stepping his game up.

You'd be busy too with all the poon he's getting over at Comcast.

MM. I like his tweets. Concise and to the point. Get tons of 9er info that way.

MB strikes again announcing Westbrook has joined the team.

Totally, MB has been on point while MM is chirping about his brother being the only person to remember Blount and getting pissy that Sing had bigger fish to fry then deal with the media..

Beerows does it again. Just broke news that we signed Westbrook
