png81 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 I never knew Odessa was in the Dallas area.
mat Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 There WAS a lot of hype accosiated wit the PNG job. I've also noticed a big diffence in the intest on the AD hires even on this site.
Cozmo Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Sounds like SOUR GRAPES to me. ;D PA news is always more critical of PNG and PA teams get off easy.
smitty Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 See what you learn on this forum?! ;D ;D I never knew Odessa was in the Dallas area.
Gabe Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 As part of the newspaper business, what else was on the front page that day? Maybe there was a breaking story which took precedent over a sports story. Just trying to find the angle and make some realize there is a lot that goes into what stories are in what places in a newspaper.
akifan94 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Why was the PN-G coach not on the FRONT PAGE of the paper like the PA coach. Why, Why, Why. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Guest DickVitale Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 I just found it strange that the PORT ARTHUR News, along with various other media outlets refuse to cover one of their own (meaning a hometown product and all) in the same way they covered this guy that is a realtive unknown...It just baffles me.....Just wanted some other opinions, thats all...No pot stirring here... : :)

What else do you want?
smitty Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Front page coverage was pretty good. So, what's the beef?

Guest DickVitale Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 I was looking at a THURSDAY paper that day and THAT was the day everything was made official....It was there on Friday, I just knew about it like Tuesday....PA News did their job, and I apologize for suggesting otherwise... 8)
