Not too long ago you would only be able to watch the odd game of your home city team on TV without having some specialty channels or pay per view. Go back a little further and those werent even options that were available.
If you didnt listen to the game on the radio, then you waited to watch highlights on the 6pm news sports segment. To get any analysis you would read the newspaper. The newspaper provided insight and maybe some inside information on what was happening with players, coaches, and other teams.
Today you can watch pretty much any game you want from anywhere you are. Real time highlights are available. The internet gives you access to 'insiders' from around the leaugue. Theres no need to wait to see the paper or a papers website the next day to see what a journalist wrote. You want game takes? I can get good info from places like this forum with no delay. Theres a few guys around who have access that others dont, such as Friedman, who provide something that isnt available elsewhere. Theres posters on here who write better and provide better insight that many professiknal journalists.
