I like the narrower paper. Just speaking of the local one...it wasn't shrunk that much. Also, depends on the pagination software...some are better than others.
Most newspapers across the country have moved to a 6-column format. What you read isn't always on a 6 column grid on a page, but it used to be 7 columns...however the change in size isn't real dramatic. It's now a cleaner, easier read.
Ralphie Boy operates his team the way Bob Irsay used to operate the Baltimore Colts, circa 1980. You guys have been stubborn so far...you keep selling out the stadium...Baltimore people viewed Colts home games like a plague nearly 30 years ago.
I'm sure Philadelphia would want plenty in return...McNabb has been their biggest star attraction since the days of Randall Cunningham and Reggie White.
Do I think it is a venture worth considering? Yes...but only if the JaurTard and his underling Dork Schonert are tossed to the curb.
