Sporting News launches on-line, daily 'newspaper'
My Tuesday newspaper column covers recent digital developments in sports publishing, radio and TV, with an emphasis on an interesting new experiment from the venerable Sporting News.
I also poked fun at ESPN for its "Titletown USA" series, which was less silly than last year's notorious "Who's Now," but still . . . Please use the comments section to propose ideas for next July's slow-season time-filler on SportsCenter.
The people in Bristol read this stuff, believe it or not. So your thoughts will be heard! Please keep it clean and respectful. I don't have time to delete comments all day.

Tell the people in Bristol to sign a contract with the IRL to broadcast ALL their races. Not just the Indianapolis 500. That's all that ESPN and FOX (which owns SPEED channel, which is supposed to broadcast races) want to do, according to Street and Smith's Sports Business Journal. Every race is a new "Danica Patrick brat moment" not to be missed. Marco Andretti (Mario's grandson) has his moments too. No wonder Dario Franchitti listened to wife Ashley to go drive taxi cabs and eat corn dogs while drinking Junior Johnson's moonshine.
Sanitized Version for all Ages.
ESPN needs next year's Titletown/Who's Now?
No Brainer.
"Holier U".
Pat Boone and a reincarnate Anita Bryant co-host ESPN's search for the least partyingest school in America.
Tammy Faye Baker roams America's Universities leading candlelight prayer vigils while casting out evil vices and minimally questionable words, as ESPN searches for the Holiest Campus in America.
Sock Hops and Pep Rallies are replaced with midnight book bonfires.
Ratings for ESPN are sure to hit the heavens.
(Sandy, you have no idea how "snarky" this comment is).
George Carlin, pray for me.
I am out.
Thank you, Islander505. I will explain your sacrifice to readers when it comes time for the Friday comment award.
