Your Friday sports page is terrible, horrible, atrocious. Baseball pennant races are heating up. You’ve got NFL preseason and the football season starting. You’ve got NASCAR at Bristol and what do you have? Nothing. There is a small group of people I believe that care about local sports and they should be represented, but not on the front page of your sports page. They don’t deserve top billing.
