I remember when I was about 18 years old and getting a Shout delivered to me. The internet was starting to take off then but I did say to myself at the time: "People enjoy reading from newspapers, the internet will never take that away".

I absolutely love reading actual newspapers. My local paper went up so much in price, though, that I simply couldn't justify the cost; especially since they kept raising it (sometimes more than once/year). I miss it. It was part of my routine for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was part of my routine for many years. One of the mills I support used to make the paper for newspapers....now they re-purposed the machines to make linerboard, which is the paper part of cardboard. I wonder if the paper printed on Shout was from that mill? That would be like the coolest thing ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had a subscription to Shout.....was stationed in Cape Cod MA at the time and couldnt wait for it to come in the mail....i also called into the shout hotline frequently....anyone remember that?

dpberr Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I always liked their post-game scoring and appreciated the matter of fact writing. I thought the "old-school" website was a plus, not a negative. It was the Drudge Report of Bills sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't compare the classic Bills Daily site with the trash that is the Drudge Report, which is little more than a propaganda machine.... Bills Daily had class.

Bills Daily had class. You took that farther than I intended. I was merely commenting on the 90s style of both sites being an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I thought they were just rebranding as Bills Daily Stormer for true patriots and Bills fans. I even volunteered for the Wide Alt-Right column. This is indeed bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I, too, go there first to do a quick scan of Twitter comments before linking to TBD. Plus, Steve let me pen a couple articles for that site a dozen years ago so I'll always have a soft spot for Bills Daily. I will miss Steve's draft review and game analysis. I hope he stays connected somehow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use twitter, so, when I wanted up to date information I would go to their site and read the feeds. When hearing a rumor about something Bills, I would go to their site and see the updated twitter feed and find out what is going on. They did the best job at it from my perspective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a few times that happened to our house. We would go like 2-3 weeks without a paper and then all 2-3 were sent at once. Then I was reading about previews of games that already happened.
