Growing up in Boston the only reliable news I could get was from the Sporting News. Every NFL team was covered in the last section. I would wait for every Thursday to get my paragraph of Rams news!! Thank you internet!!

I seems to recall a national weekly paper type publication known as Rampages.I'm talking late 60's early 70"s. Along with the Herald and the Times. A writer named Bob Oates comes to mind as well as Melvin Durslag. Jim Murray delivered the funny side of the story occasionally too.

Lived in NYC for many years, and from the mid 80s to early 90s, had the Orange Count Register delivered to my office. Yes, the news was a week or two late, but soaked up every inch of coverage. Couple Laker fans would stop by my office to read up on the awesome Magic-lead Lakers.

Amazing...Being in Dayton, Ohio from 84-92 I would go to the Base Library (Wright-Patterson AFB) to read the LA Times and the Campus Library (University of Dayton) to read the Orange County Register. I still recall one day at the campus library waking in with a Dodger hat, Ram Shirt, Laker shorts and King wrist bands and the young Librarian shaking her head at me....We dated for six months, could never resist the studious look with glasses.

Back in the mid-70s as a young teenager they had these magazines on newspaper stock that were like $1.25.

I would save up my allowance and grab one when it came out.

They were so inaccurate in comparison to today's detailed magazines but I was in heaven when I had that thing in my hot little hands.
And I still am! :D
Living on the East Coast it was not like I could pick up the LA Times.
