No paper today

I remember as a kid I used to deliver newspapers.  We had a morning paper AND an evening paper.  Its weird thinking back on, and something that's going to blow my daughters mind when I tell her.  But first I'm gonna have to explain to her what a newspaper is.

For the first time, the Charlotte Observer will not have a Saturday printed edition today. Internet is killing them. I'm old, love to read a newspaper

I always liked getting the paper especially on Sunday. Big cup of coffee and some toast and just crawl into the news. Stuart with the funnies, comb through sports, classifieds, arts section. 

Dropped it five years ago as it just wasn't getting read.

McClatchy owns the CO and also the Raleigh News and Observer. You know what is also killing newspapers? Read up on any of the biased, anti UNC conspiracy peddling witch hunt that the garbage N&O has spewed out about UNC the past 10 years. People have too many options now and won’t waste their time reading crap.

I don't get how newspapers and magazines are still in business. Books, that's fine. They should always be around.

In 2011 my company did a large expansion onto a newspaper building.  When they came to us with plans to expand we were like "WTF?"

I don't get it either.  At this point I have to assume that both magazine and newspapers are living off of commercial customers who put them out for their guests.

Actually a good idea. But, be careful when flushing, it doesn't break down like TP.

Yeah, it would only be used as a last resort.  I am really not thrilled with wiping my behind with inked up paper.  :)

In truth, we are in decent shape.  My wife always buys in bulk, and she had just finished a shopping run, so we are good for a couple of months.  And I actually found some on the food lion shelves today and bought it for my mom.  I have a feeling that within a couple of weeks, the shortage will ease as people realize we aren't going to run out.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
