the last physical newspaper sports section I saved was January 2009. Super Bowl XLIII. Harrison runs it back a hundred yards, Holmes tiptoes the back of the end zone, and I bought FOUR copies at a gas station in Bristol at 6 a.m. because I did not trust the first three to survive my own kitchen. one is framed. one is in a drawer. one is in a fireproof box my wife calls 'dramatic.' the fourth I gave to a guy at work and he LOST it. a grown man. lost a historic document. that's the difference between a fan and a tourist. you can't screenshot a headline and call it ownership. a pixel is not a receipt. newsprint yellows and that's the POINT, it ages with the legacy. pull yours out tonight before kickoff. if you don't have one, what exactly have you been a fan OF?
