    this is my opinion, and in no way should it be construed as that of the my employer or anyone i work with:

    i think the story on the stadium needed more. more on the injuries, on how much cost saving there is, how using an artificial surface helps or hurts schools (including staffing, coaches, etc). moreover, doesn't it strike anyone as weird that a new school gets its football stadium built first and nearly completed BEFORE the buildings with classrooms are done? is the bigger picture the fact that a cash-strapped system is also worrying about athletic fields rather than trying to pay teachers and improve a increasingly overcrowded system?


    WCNC just ran a story about the risk of injuries on their news at 11. guess you can look for that story on their web site. methinks tomorrow's sports section will be filled with fotos from tonight's uncc-depaul game.

    I'll just disagree with you media. A front page story with large photo of a high school football stadium in February can't possibly be more news worthy than a game between a local university ranked in the Division I Top 25 and a team in the Top 30, playing for first place in the conference where the prefame story goes to the rear of the sports section. And yes, the Bobcats were hosting Denver too, in a game already meaningless as far as standings go. It's not promotion of the game, it's informing your readers that there is an event. And readers do assume that the farther the info in placed into that section, the more meaningless it is.

    As for Fudgepacker, most of the 49ers fans quit listening to him years ago. He's a tool and has nothing to offer any listener.

    I saw several of the photos on the photog's laptops being edited at halftime in the media room, Curtis' dunk was a sweet photo.

    :thinking: ok... maybe you missed the sarcasm in my original post so i'll clear it up for you... the story sucked. no one cares about the ballantyne high school football stadium or if it gets built before or after classrooms. :xyzthumbs let me know if you have any further questions. thanks.

    No offense to any of the guys making a living on sports radio here in Charlotte but sports radio in Charlotte sucks ass. The worst show is whoever is on 610 in the mornings, they dont even talk sports half the time.
