Me and my dad use to play “beat Bob West”. I use to help him pick scores.Anyone else remember the excitement of opening up the Saturday morning paper and seeing those Friday night scores across the top of the front page?

The golden age of local sports coverage might be over. The dual edged benefits and curse of social media has altered some things in negative ways. But maybe there is hope that some future sports journalists can revive it.
