Lady sports reporter must’ve p!ssed someone off back at the office….she’s been sent out to cover a mediocre high school sports team rather than cover a story of importance somewhere else.
Given the coverage of high school sports by major print, cable and streaming outlets, this should surprise no one. As I write this, ESPN is offering replays of HS games involving teams from 7 different states; their upcoming offerings feature a dozen Missouri teams and, of course, “High School Football Showcase” coming up on 9/20.
I guess the whiners here don’t actually pay attention to regional/national sports media.
When the author took over this strip two years ago, one of the first strips showed Gil and Marty as buddies, something that had never happened previously. Marty has always been my favourite character, so I thought of this as an interesting change…but Marty’s been mostly ignored ever since. We’ll see.
Hey while your tuned in to todays National news outlets (LOL!!!!!) coverage of (LMAO!!!!!!!!) high school media day (WHO THOUGHT UP THIS BULLSHLT) now would be time for a ice cold Train Wreck Beer. Train Wreck Beer goes well with train wrecks….MUCH like this comic strip. So go ahead and treat yourself to a ice cold Train Wreck Beer or 14. WERES THAT TRAIN WRECK WHEN YOU NEED IT.
Media folks ask to interview key players, including Rod, but are told that he is unavailable as “…Rodney Barnes has been suspended from all team activities until September 23rd by Coach Thorp for talking in an insulting manner to a teammate during an intrasquad scrimmage a few days ago”…
Realistic? No. But I like it anyway, the over the top national interest in Milford athletics. And speaking of over the top, Mopped Up Thorp is often over the top. When it’s not down in the gutter.

P1- You gotta fight. For you right. For a sound bite!
P2 & P3- That look by Moon means one thing. A losing Summer at Milford Downs. He needs a cash infusion. He’s broke as a joke.
