But for information junkies, seeing the same story over and over gets irritating. It does make them seem irrelevant now that you can just RSS AP or Reuters.

Local newspapers bring a distinct — and necessary — perspective, at least when they deign to cover a team of broad local interest as it properly should be.

The Associated Press actually could provide similar coverage if in possession of the requisite manpower resources, but as I’m sure you’re aware, their complement of sportswriters is limited compared to outlets like the Morning News and Star-Telegram; its sports department in even the largest of markets is comparable in size to a small-city, 15,000-circulation daily.

The optimist within me believes that someday we will have local, Internet-only publications serve the same functions as the local sports section and even television outlets; that may be possible as the medium continues to mature and advertising becomes more viable. (Perhaps their primary mode of reporting would come in blog form.)

Or it may be the local broadcast concerns who seize the moment and take their Web sites to a higher level, incorporating the analysis and scope that print can provide into their on-line offerings — which, in many cases, already utilize video packages to some degree of effectiveness.

Either way, there’s a vacancy and a public demand that simply awaits satiation.

The players where justgoing for the ball it happens all time in the NBA when a player is on the ground with the ball other players try and tie him up. Finley was just going for the ball his hip barely touched Terry it was just part of the game. Terry threw a punch he should lose a game thats the rules.Quit whinning about it.

I have for several newspapers and many magazines. There’s no free ride in life, but at least I have many sources for investing ideas.

I just go the link below, where they do the news search for me:

Mainly because I work in the field of TV news. I do agree with you that the local angle is much better when it comes to sports. I am a die hard Spurs fan, and I know that is probably blasphemy on your site right now :) , but you guys have the upper hand. Your team is amazing and a very close second for my favorite, since I’m from Texas — but I digress. Ever since I moved out of state, I just can’t get the same coverage that I was used to back home.

What an awesome game!! Just amazing. That is exactly why you play basketball. Both teams fighting for their lives to win it, never giving up, and in the process creating one of the most exciting games in history! Great squad you got there Mark, and props to San Antonio too. They fought tooth and nail till the end which proves they have just as much heart as your guys do. I’m one of the very few who have Dallas getting past San Antonio in my pool, so I love my Dallas boys sticking it to the town favorites SA. MARK. You and your team are awesome and deserve a big Cramer Boooooooyah!!!!

I would much rather read in depth insightful articles than the latest breaking news and that would be the only way I would keep paying for different papers. Obviously you can’t get the newspaper out as fast and to keep the readers you have to differentiate by doing that in addition to other things.

I’m primarily a Wisconsin Badger fan, but have been a Mavs fan since Michael Finley started playing on your team. I enjoyed watching Devin Harris in college and really have enjoyed watching him during the current Mavs/Spurs series. Way to go Devin!

I never get enough Mavs coverage from the national sports websites so I have bookmarked the local Dallas papers. Everything is local I guess, even for a Mavs fan from Madison, WI.

Go Mavs!
