Question How many of you read your local newspaper daily?
I used to wake up every day and read the sports but really because of the internet – everything in there is practically old now (except a few things)

Is the newspaper a thing of the past?

I like to read the local section because I look for my friends who got arrested haha. Seriously, Delaware has one paper for the whole state and its GARBAGE. I just read it on the crapper when I'm bored.

I bring mine to work and read it while eating lunch. The first thing I always look at is the area digest that tells you about all the car wrecks, arrests and killings. Always makes me feel better about my life.
I used to wake up and always go straight to the box scores and daily line but no need to do that with the internet.

Makes good fire starter.

From the first page to the last. Some stories are read completely while others are quickly scanned.
