What a coup Cleveland's only Print Publication executed.
(Writer's note: I capitalized both "print" and "publication", which should keep some members of Cleveland's only Print Publication from getting catty. Or another c-word that I can't type in proper company.)
Reached right out there and stole the sports journalism bullion from their "competitors" down south and a tweak east.
If not for that, us poor folk up here in the holler outside the Ring of Cleveland would not get insights like...
"It makes little sense to debate the politics behind the firing of Browns defensive coordinator Todd Grantham."
Now, for those poor folk that ain't as learned as me am, lemme give you a translation:
"I didn't report it first, the first reports were correct; therefore, it doesn't matter what happened and let's move on without any type of discussion or discourse."
June 17, 1982.
The day Cleveland sports journalism began it's slow and agonizing death.
