People still read SI? Maybe I should give them a look. I remember Loyola-Chicago’s run. College basketball is maybe the last place small Catholic schools have sporting importance.
I get SI free due to Verizon rewards. It is not as good as it once was, but there are some high spots every now and then.
SI out of all the news organizations has had a particularly rough existential crisis since the 2000s. It’s pretty sad when you think about how trailblazing it was and how far it’s fallen.
The Sporting News stopped publication more than a decade ago. Being the Bible of Baseball couldn’t save a weekly publication from online boxscores, game stories, and news.
Didn’t know that. Thanks for letting me know I just got a free subscription to Travel and Leisure.
Voter supression? Wait no it’s ok. ““Whatever those reasons are (behind the significant rate of rejections), I repeat they do not appear to me to be rooted in some nefarious scheme by the local Gwinnett County Election Division staff to suppress any type of voter from voting,” said Day, a Democratic Party appointee to the Gwinnett Elections Board.”
Someone should look into why they have been so heavy-handed. Like subjective rejections over non-matching signatures, mine varies quite a bit at times. But if say all of those have similar signatures all in green ink from the same nursing home…
I haven’t heard anyone blame the Gwinnett elections people but there’s some reason they are voiding ballots at a much higher rate than any other county. Whether it’s confusing ballot design or a problem that ESL voters are especially susceptible to or an overzealous clerk, something’s going on.
Since the power(s) that be won’t let me create a GAPOL blizzard, you can all just suffer thru this read…
