That said, I can name better overall players, and I can certainly can name many who had better careers with the Yankees. Let's start with Rickey, who iwas a better player, and better as a Yankee. tommiesmith,etc., good point, which I gather is that Sheff is much better than people realize (well, some people).

Problem is, none of them lose money as rapidly or for as long as the Post. Back before newspapers starting folding, say, 5 years ago, the Times, WSJ, and DN all turned a profit. The Post was losing money back then. It's been losing money for like 10 years straight, maybe more. If it wasn't owned by NewsCorp it would have been extinct long, long ago. http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/05_08/b3921114_mz016.htm Many newspapers lose money.

I was really more just lamenting the loss of FJM than anything else. I do appreciate you trying to nuance the argument somewhat. Since this post is obviously directly related to many posts at FJM (although more nuanced, as I said), I was simply lamenting FJMs departure and not attack your analysis. So, sorry if I offended you, which i obviously did. Yeah. I was really more just lamenting the loss of FJM than anything else. I do appreciate you trying to nuance the argument somewhat.
