SOM can permanently eliminate them for all I care. Focus attention elsewhere.

I agree. I thought it was nice to just see the box score, and I didnt need the story to tell me what happened. Nice and clean.

I like the stories. I usually don't read them all the way through, so I wouldn't care if they shorten them, but they bring some nice simulacra of the human element involved. The games aren't real, the players aren't real, and I know that; but having some dash of humanness in the representation helps keep us from remembering we're just paying to be data entry enthusiasts.

Not really, but then I rarely read the game stories for real life games either. Always headed straight for the boxscores.

not really. more often than not the report misses the mark on realism by just a little. I did like a couple seasons ago when an opposing team named itself Off Constantly. sophomoric humor, but I still chuckled every time Hal reported that I beat (insert team name). he truly is all knowing.

I didn't think I'd miss them but I do...and I feel deprived because something which we had has been taken away from us. Although I'm happy they initially identified and fixed the issue so we can get the game running each night, this problem originally occurred early last week and if it took me almost one week to solve a PRODUCTION problem I'd be fired!

I originally didn't think this was a big deal for us but since this has taken so long to resolve, I think it's only fair we SHOULD BE COMPENSATED via at least one free credit for this inconvenience!
