We had several sports fans in our office and we'd take turns picking up the paper and it would be passed around the office and read on breaks during the day. I remember Scott Osler's back page columns being pretty darn funny. I remember how great the box scores were...I loved it and didn't even mind when it went to 75 cents. I was sad the day it folded but haven't thought about it much in the last 18 years. This article brought it all back and has made me sad all over again!

Scarcely a week goes by that I don't spare a thought for the excellent columns and feature writing of that paper, often when I happen along a column or piece by one of the writers that I grew to appreciate from those 18 months now so long ago. I partly understood then, and I understand even better now, why it did not work. <br/><br/>Nevertheless, I imagine that occasionally every sports editor in the country mentally measures up their coverage and writing to that of The National and finds that it lacks in some way. So long as that measurement results in even slightly improved sports coverage, The National's legacy -- checkered though it was -- lives on.<br/><br/>Thank you for posting this.

Nevertheless, I imagine that occasionally every sports editor in the country mentally measures up their coverage and writing to that of The National and finds that it lacks in some way. So long as that measurement results in even slightly improved sports coverage, The National’s legacy — checkered though it was — lives on.

Thank you for posting this.
